DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Board of Pharmacy will consider again recommending changing state law to reclassify marijuana so it could be used to treat medical conditions. The board is set to meet Wednesday. Members heard testimony on the issue Monday.
Currently, marijuana is classified under state law as both a Schedule I drug, meaning it is has no medical use, and as a Schedule II drug, which has medicinal value. Advocates want the drug to be moved only to the Schedule II category.
The board recommended that the Legislature make such a change to state law in 2010, but no action was taken. Lawmakers this year approved legislation that allows the use of oil derived from marijuana to treat chronic epilepsy.
A longer-than-usual jury selection process Tuesday, forced opening statements in the trial of an Oakland man charged with the murder of a rural Cass County woman, to be pushed back to today (Wednesday). The Daily NonPareil reports a little more than 100 potential jurors from east Pottawattamie County arrived for jury selection Tuesday, initially filling out a questionnaire.
The Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office estimated more than half knew about the case against 63-year old Robert A. Reynolds, which led to one-on-one interviews between the potential jurors and attorneys for the defense and prosecution as the two sides worked to pare down the list to a panel of 12 jurors and two alternates. Reynolds is charged with first-degree murder for his alleged role in the shooting death of 64-year-old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey on April 8th at Reynolds’ home in Oakland.
By late Tuesday evening, the attorneys had selected a jury, and the trial is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. today at the Pottawattamie County Courthouse. Reynolds has pleaded not guilty.

A small fire briefly disrupted activities Tuesday afternoon at Abraham Lincoln High School. The Daily NonPareil reports at around 12:15 p.m., an person or persons unknown set fire to a football tackling dummy on a balcony in the school fieldhouse. Council Bluffs Fire Marshal Larry Wohlers told the paper smoke and flames from the fire activated a sprinkler head about 20 feet above the fire, which distributed water to extinguish the blaze. Wohlers said the fire would have reached a temperature of about 150 degrees to activate the sprinkler.
Firefighters arrived shortly after the activation, advised the school to turn off the sprinkler and began assisting with smoke ventilation. Officials with the school district said the fire occurred on the balcony on the “Home” side of the fieldhouse. Most of the damage caused by the fire affected the tackling dummy. There was also water damage on the balcony and in the music wing at the school, according to the district.
All students at the school were evacuated for about 10 minutes as the fire department handled the incident.Wohlers said the fire was intentionally set, and an arrest in the case is likely.
