Sheriff’s officials in Adams County cited a Villisca man Sunday evening, following an investigation into a rollover accident. 32-year old John Dolph Carlton, of Villisca, was cited for Failure to Maintain Control, after the pickup he was driving went out of control as it was traveling northbound on Chestnut Avenue, about one-half mile south of 150th Street.
The truck slid into the right side ditch and came into contact with some small trees. The collision caused the truck to flip over onto the driver’s side, causing minor damage to the vehicle. No injuries were reported.
A new campaign offers support to veterans in Iowa who might be considering ending their own lives. It’s called “The Power of One” and it emphasizes the effect just one person, one conversation or one act can have on the life of a veteran or service member. The V-A’s Caitlin Thompson encourages friends and family of Iowa veterans to know the warning signs.
“Sleeping more or less than usual, getting angry more quickly than usual, getting more withdrawn from family members or friends, or drinking more or using drugs,” Thompson says. “Really, the hallmark sign is if somebody is expressing feelings of hopelessness or saying things like people would be better off without me.” The Iowa Department of Public Health shows 445 Iowans died by suicide in 2013, though there are no specific numbers for Iowa veterans’ suicides. Thompson says professionals are on staff at all V-A medical centers in Iowa to handle this type of situation.
“We also have suicide prevention coordinators at every VA around the country,” she says. “They do outreach events every month and they are the local experts in suicide prevention with veterans.” Thompson says Vietnam-era veterans are at particular risk for suicide. Of those service members who take their own lives, 70-percent are over 50 years old. The V-A is also seeing rising suicide numbers in veterans between the ages of 20 and 29. Many of those in the military who have taken their own lives haven’t even been deployed.
“What we need to be aware of especially with veterans is when people are going through major transitions,” Thompson says. “We know veterans go through a lot of transitions. Major life events can be high risk periods for suicide, such as divorce or relationship issues, job loss, financial problems or legal problems.” Veterans, current military members and their families can get help by calling the Veterans Crisis Line at 800-273-8255 or by sending a text to 838255. Online chat is also available at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat. Anyone else in the state can call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-TALK or go to www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

A man from Nebraska was injured during a collision between his car and a semi Sunday evening, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 23-year old Nicholas A. Dedinsky, of Omaha, was traveling west in the left lane on Interstate 680 at around 7:15-p.m., when his 2009 Honda Accord hit the left-rear side of a semi/tractor-trailer, that was heading west, in the right lane.
Following the collision, the car spun off the road and across the median before coming to rest in the left lane of I-680 eastbound. Dedinsky was able to move his vehicle onto the eastbound shoulder before authorities arrived on the scene. The man was transported by Neola Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs.
The driver of the semi was not injured. The accident remains under investigation.

DENVER (AP) — Terrance Knighton batted away Alex Smith’s fourth-and-goal pass to Dwayne Bowe with 15 seconds left, preserving the Denver Broncos’ 24-17 win over the scrappy Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Broncos thought they had sealed the win twice earlier on the drive. Aqib Talib’s pick-6 was negated by Quanterus Smith’s hold. Then, Nate Irving’s fumble recovery following DeMarcus Ware’s sack and strip was ruled an incomplete pass after a replay.
The Chiefs converted 11 of 16 third-down opportunities overall. They just couldn’t capitalize in the biggest moments as the Broncos defense mustered two goal-line stands for the second straight week. Peyton Manning was 21 of 26 for 242 yards and three TDs.

DENVER (AP) — Broncos special teams ace David Bruton was among Denver’s inactives against Kansas City. Bruton separated his left shoulder in the opener last week. He returned to practice Thursday but only on a limited basis.
Other inactives for the Broncos were WR Cody Latimer, CB Tony Carter, LB Danny Trevathan, guard Ben Garland and tackle Michael Schofield. The Broncos only had six inactives because they only have 52 players on their roster.
Kansas City’s inactives were QB Aaron Murray, WRs Albert Wilson and De’Anthony Thomas, RB Joe McKnight, OL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, CB Jamell Fleming and DE Damion Square. Ryan Harris started at right tackle for Jeff Allen, one of three Chiefs lost for the season in their loss to Tennessee in the opener.
