On Nov. 7 Independence Holiday Open Houses were held at downtown merchants. Laree’s held a Holiday Preview with many wines on sale and delicious treats to try while shopping for Christmas gifts. Pictured on opposite page are Deb Schilling of Hopkinton, Diane Lahr of Worthington, Ellen Jasper of Dyersville and Kim Schnittjer of Delhi at Laree’s.

Another business featuring beautiful items was Mary’s Flower Patch & Gifts. Pictured at left are Sandy Johnson of Independence, along with her grandchildren Kaleb and Maggie Opfer of Central City admiring an angel on display. Customers could enjoy Christmas cookies and hot apple cider while looking at the gifts and decorations. Pictured above are Tammy Fleming of Jesup and Janis Matthias of Waverly looking around for Christmas gift ideas at S&K Collectibles. There were many delicious treats to try and a beautiful entrance display. The mild weather allowed quite a few shoppers to get a head start on their holiday shopping.

The Schoenjahn Report By State Senator Brian Schoenjahn

Tailoring education and training to veterans

There is plenty we can do to help our veterans in their transition to civilian life, including going to college, getting job training and transferring their military skills to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work world. Colleges and universities award educational credits to veterans for military education, training and experience. This year, we expanded this benefit to National Guard members and Reservists, saving them time and money in completing their degrees. We also voted to give Iowa service members and veterans more flexibility in using their college aid. Rather than limiting National Guard Educational Assistance to semesters of attendance, or the trimester or quarter equivalent, we are giving

them 120 credit hours of undergraduate study so that they can schedule their courses in a way that works best for them. These initiatives build on other successful efforts to help veterans transition to civilian work. For example, recent experience driving large trucks in the military may allow veterans to bypass the drive skills test when applying for an Iowa commercial driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license (CDL). To qualify here in Iowa, a veteran must: â&#x20AC;˘ Be an Iowa resident. â&#x20AC;˘ Hold a valid Iowa driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. â&#x20AC;˘ Apply for a Military Skills Test Waiver to add a CDL endorsement to their license. â&#x20AC;˘ Present evidence of military CDL. â&#x20AC;˘ Provide documentation of military service.

women nationwide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Reservists and National Guard members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have taken advantage of this opportunity. This is good for our economy because truckers are in high demand to move goods throughout the country. The American Trucking Association estimates a shortage of 35,000 to 40,000 drivers because older operators are retiring faster than younger people enter the profession.
