offices. the eastern iowa health center and young parents network are cooperating on the collection and say 100 percent of donated dollars or diapers will go to those who need them. "we often don't think of diapers as a necessity but it is really is and the fact it's not covered by any federal program, you know no incentives or anything like that." "diapers are such a big need 80 dollars a month for a lot of people." health has committed to purchasing 50-thousand to get the program started. organizers say those much smaller diaper drives would collect only a limited number of diapers and when those were gone, they're gone. but with a diaper bank, the idea is to keep collections going off and on and always have enough on hand to help those who have trouble paying for this necessary infant product out of pocket. beth? thanks, dave. us now with your first forecast. chris, some of our viewers have had a little rain today. will that continue? a weak upper level system is moving across eastern iowa tonight. as it does, a few light showers are possible in the tv9 viewing area. rain totals will be very light where showers form. this system will be gone for tuesday, so we'll see a return of plentiful sunshine. temperatures will remain mild, climbing into the low and mid 70s, for the afternoon. a strong cold front will approach us from the northwest tuesday night. this will bring showers t wednesday morning. temperatures will be falling through the afternoon as winds pick up at 15-25 mph. wednesday night, we'll experience the coldest air of the season so far, as temperatures easily falling into 30s. warmth is set to quickly return however by the weekend and next week. tonight: chance of light rain. wind: s 5-15. low: 55 alo: 54 dbq: 54 iow: 55 52 to 58 bruce and beth... the remnants of hurricane matthew have gone back out to the middle of the ocean, but it's left a lot of more than a thousand others in the caribbean died as a result of the hurricane. and in north carolina, another five are still missing and 15-hundred are stranded and waiting for law enforcement to save them. that state is also seeing widespread power outages and may be without power all week. take a look at this image of a man in north carolina that had to hold onto a sign after trying to swim out to help a stranded driver. the north carolina will remain elevated into next week. and others from florida to north carolina are starting to move back home. and they're finding scenes like this... downed trees and power lines... and weakened bridges and roads. fourteen red cross volunteers from across iowa are heading east to help hurricane matthew victims. some volunteers left for georgia yesterday and today. others left friday for florida. morning he's decided not to campaign for donald trump, the party's presidential nominee. ryan said he was sickened after seeing the 2005 recording of trump's vulgar comments about women. ryan told g-o-p house members he's not conceding the presidential race to democrat hillary clinton, but he will now focus on republicans keeping control of congress. trump quickly fired back on twitter saying, "paul ryan should spend more time on ba budget, jobs, and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting republican nominee." at last night's presidential debate, trump dismissed the lewd comments he made about women in the recording, calling it locker room talk.

"vernon made a habit of doling out deals for developers who donated to her campaign" this is the more serious accusation in the ad... and the n-r-c-c cites several examples. in one - vernon voted in 2013 to support a cedar rapids casino. donated to her congressiona l campaign. in another - vernon voted for tax breaks and agreements with frew development group to lead the westdale mall rennovation. around the times of those votes, frew's president, john frew, made several donations to vernon's campaign. frew and skogman also donated to other city council member's campaigns. it's a common practice for developers to support pro- development candidates. we also found an example when redevelop the knutson building from hobart historic renovations. that's despite the fact that jim hobart donated to vernon's campaign a month later. it is true vernon voted for projects of developers who also donated to her campaign. but the ad suggests vernon was engaged in pay-for-play while on the city council. but there is no proof vernon voted a certain way because of donations to her campaign - which would violate state ethics laws. so while there is some factual misleading. that's why this ad gets a 'c' emergency crews needed to use a helicopter to fly a man to the hospital after he crashed his semi. crews from nine different departments and agencies responded to state highway 51, about a mile north of postville, just after 4 sunday afternoon. the allamakee county sheriff's office says michael duffield junior, who is 38 and from postville, rolled his semi when it went into the ditch. a passenger, claude jones, who is 55 from waukon, also suffered i we want to remind you that when you see news, call newsline nine. that number is 319-365-9999. you can also send us pictures and videos to newsroom at kcrg dot com. people in need in johnson county now have a new way of getting food. the crisis center started a new mobile food pantry and it's bringing food right to low-income neighborhoods. a weak upper level system is moving across eastern iowa tonight. as it does, a few light showers are possible in the tv9 viewing area. rain totals will be very light wh system will be gone for tuesday, so we'll see a return of plentiful sunshine. temperatures will remain mild, climbing into the low and mid 70s, for the afternoon. a strong cold front will approach us from the northwest tuesday night. this will bring showers to the area overnight tuesday night and wednesday morning. temperatures will be falling through the afternoon as winds pick up at 15-25 mph. wednesday night, we'll experience the coldest air of the into 30s. warmth is set to quickly return however by the weekend and next week. tonight: chance of light rain. wind: s 5-15. low: 55 alo: 54 dbq: 54 iow: 55 52 to 58 tomorrow: mostly sunny. wind: s 10-20. high: 74 alo: 73 dbq: 72 iow: 76 71 to 77 tom. night: scattered showers develop, mainly late. wind: s 5-10. low: 60 alo: 56 dbq: 59 iow: 60 57 to 63 wednesday: showers likely in the morning with falling temperatures in the afternoon. high: 62 alo: 60 thursday: mostly sunny. high: 57 low: 35 low: 40 saturday: chance of showers and storms late. high: 74 low: 48 sunday: partly cloudy. high: 71 low: 57 monday: partly cloudy. high: 74 low: 52 tuesday: partly cloudy with a slight chance of a shower. high: 74 low: 55 in piles in the cedar rapids flood zone, nearly two weeks after the cedar river crested. hear why the city won't start picking them up until mid-week. and some people in two counties along the help for flood recovery. that's up next here on t-v nine. and some studies have shown that co- sleeping has some benefits like helping with breastfeeding and regulating infant sleep schedules. however, pediatricians do not recommend it because the risks still outweigh the benefits.sot dr. forster: and that risk goes up significantly under certain conditions. um those conditions include sharing a bed with a infant under 3 months of parents smoke, having soft bedding like a water bed or couch or armchair, even soft accessories like pillows and blankets can increase the risk. if a mother has had alcohol or obviously some substance that may alter her level of her alertness that can be a huge danger when sharing a bed with an infant.vo: she says a great alternative to co-sleeping is having your baby sleep in the same room with you. that so you can feed and comfort your baby. liz on cam: more on safe sleep for infants at momseveryday .com. join us next week when we'll talk about safe bedding for baby. i'm liz hayes. after the recent flood threat, cedar rapids had planned to begin picking up sandbags from residential areas this morning. but the contractor the city hired to do that won't start until wednesday. the contractor will start cur on the far northwest side of the city and work south. residents should put the sandbags either curbside in the public right of way, in the street on lightly-traveled roadways or on any portion of a driveway. the city will not pick up sandbags placed in alleys. the removal should take about three weeks. cedar rapids wants to hear from businesses about the effects of the recent flood. the city has sent a survey to small and large companies that were inside the flood zone. extra costs those businesses took on because of the flood. the survey asks about damage, lost production time, and any financial problems. results will be go to the federal and state levels to help create a long term solution for permanent flood control in cedar rapids.
