Ice Breakers plan
more county trails
Its January and as we head into the traditional
time of year with cold and snow you may start to see
more snowmobiles!
Many area snowmobile enthusiasts are members
of the Webster County Ice Breakers snowmobile club.
Members of this non-profit club work within Webster
County to create a system of trails that connect our communities including Gowrie.
Although a relatively new club they have made
huge strides in membership (60+ members), invested in
two operational groomers, designed 200+ miles of trails
and marked over 100 miles. More information can be
found on their website at www.webstercountyicebreakers.com.
Members of the club are hoping for snow particularly to host the annual Marlin Benson Memorial Fun
Run scheduled for Saturday, February 11th. Registration
is at 9:00 am at Mulligans in Gowrie with a departure
time of 10:00 am.
As their annual fundraiser, named for Marlin
Benson from Gowrie, they use the funds for the snowmobile trails, groomers and drags, educational scholarships and to support Marlins namesake trail kept up by
the Namakagon Trail Groomers. The trail is located just
off Lake Namakagon in the Cable, Wisconsin area.

The always tough Herb Irgens Invite lived up
to its billing as one of the tougher tournaments on the
western side of the state. The young Jags wrestled well
at times but also took some lumps at the two day tournament that featured twenty-six teams ranging from 1A,
2A, and a few 3A programs. When wrestling was completed Saturday night 132 lbs. Jr. Trey Lawrence placed
seventh and 182 lb. sophomore Kyler Fisher placed 3rd.
Trey opened with a nail-biter defeating his Okoboji opponent 10-9 putting him in the quarterfinals against #3
seed Max Wettengal(Gilbertville Don Bosco). After controlling the match for over five minutes, Trey gave up a
late take down and back points to lose the heartbreaker by
three. Trey bounced back with a pin against his Cherokee
opponent in the conso's, then lost by pin against a tough
Emmetsburg wrestler putting him in the seventh place
match against a Sibley-Ochedan opponent where he won
by decision 8-6.
In the first round Kyler pinned his opponent from
Spirit Lake Park. In the second round Kyler took care of
Luke Bossard(Okoboji) in the first period by fall(:43),
pitting him against Blake Anderson(OA-BCIG) where he
recorded a tough 8-5 decision. In the semi.'s Kyler lost
his first match of the year in overtime, 6-4 on a takedown
to Dillon Diltz of Solon. In the consolation semi's he defeated his Sioux Center opponent 6-3 putting him in the
third place match against Elijah Dirx of Carrol where he
recorded another tough 5-3 decision.

This tournament definitely exposes areas of
improvement; the guys started a bit slow in the opening
round Friday night but bounced back in the conso's as we
had seven guys still alive for Saturday's tournament, but
our guys have to finish matches. Many of the guys had
leads late in the third period but couldn't finish the match
whether they gave up late takedowns, escapes, and back
points. It's an area where the guys have to have the correct
mindset to finish and advance. The guys have to recover
and get geared up for next week as they are on the road at
Alta Thursday night and another big tournament at Guthrie Center on Saturday.

Emma Graves finished with 11; Mady Jaeschke,
6; Carson Shipley 5, Shelby Cummins 4, Morgan Casetson 2, Ebony Scott 2, Sammy Alps 1.
It was never a close game as the Jags trailed 4519 at the half.
Newell-Fonda was seemingly making every
shot. The Jags had good passing and they were running
their offense.
Morgan Casteson was open for a 3 and it
rimmed in and out. Sammy Alps went to the line and
made one foul shot.
There was good ball movement for the Jags.
Shelby Cummins made a shot with 20 seconds left in the
third quarter.
Emma Graves converted on a layup with 1.8 sec
left and was fouled. She made a free throw. But at the
end of three Newell Fonda was still up 66-25.
From an out of bounds play Emma Graves got
wide open for an easy layup.
Mady Jaeschke was fouled under the basket and
made one foul shot. The Jags didnt always box out and
Newell-Fonda took advantage in the rebounding department.
Mady Jaeschke made a steal with 40 sec. left.
Ebony Scott made a good last second shot finishing the
game.
Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Good:
Use wax worms or minnows. Target the mid-lake section
at depths of 15-25 feet; schools of crappie are moving
through suspended.
Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake--Rainbow
Trout - Fair: The next trout stocking will be Saturday,
Feb. 4th at noon pending on good ice conditions. Use
spoons or jigs tipped with wax worms. Trout tend to
swim the perimeter in schools, so fish depths of 5 to 15
feet deep just out from shore.

Senate Republicans propose putting this lawM
into the state constitution in order to provide predict-N
ability and sustainability to the state budget. Job creatorsS
evaluate state spending decisions from the perspective ofW
E
someone who balances a checkbook. They know whenI
the legislature overspends it increases the likelihoodLB
those same politicians will come to their door demand-B
ing an increase in taxes to fund those commitments. This
action leads to uncertainty and reduces the incentive to
invest and work to expand the economy, create jobs and
increase wages.
Senate Republican priorities are controlling
state spending, reforming the tax code, and creating an
economic environment favorable to job creation and
higher wages. Placing the 99% expenditure limitation
into the state constitution is one step the legislature and
Iowans can take to give job creators greater confidence
when they decide to invest in Iowa and ensure Iowans
tax dollars are used wisely.
Veterans Day on the Hill
On January 18, the Statehouse hosted the annual
Veterans Day on the Hill. It was a great opportunity to
talk with veterans about their concerns and ideas.
I enjoyed visiting with Jim Peterson of Gowrie
about the veterans' legislative priorities.
These include:
1) The American Legion urges the State of
Iowa to establish and expand Veterans Treatment Courts.
Veteran Treatment Courts are hybrid Drug Courts and
Mental Health Courts and evolved out of the growing
need for a treatment court model designed specifically
for justice-involved veterans to maximize efficiency and
economize resources.
2) The American Legion supports efforts to
eliminate employment barriers that impede the timely
and successful transfer of military job skills to the civilian labor market.
3) The American Legion requests the State
of Iowa adjust the veterans' property tax exemption to
$5,000.
4) The American Legion supports funding existing state veterans' benefits and programs.
Senate Page Katie Decker
It's an honor to have one of my constituents
serve as a Senate Page this session. Katie Decker is from
Rockwell City, daughter of Tom and Diane, and has a
younger sister, Megan.
Katie is a senior at South Central Calhoun and is
active in jazz band, cross country and FFA. She plans to
attend Iowa State University this fall and major in agricultural communications.
I asked Katie about her interest in serving in the
Senate Chamber. Her response: "I hope to gain a greater
understanding of state government and make great connections. I also hope to gain an experience not many high
school students have the privilege of doing."

From My Desk
Right now in the news I am sure you are hearing about an immense amount of bills being introduced
that are a bit absurd, we are just in the beginning stages
of these bills. Each bill must survive through a committee before they stand a chance of making it to the House
Floor for debate.
On the other hand, below are a few bills introduced by my fellow colleagues that I plan on supporting:
HF1- Establishes an ongoing review of all state
programs to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. The bill
would also require reauthorization of all government
programs every 5 years to make certain these programs
are still needed and are serving their intended purpose.
HF3- Limits the governments ability to enact
burdensome occupational licensing barriers that make it
harder for Iowans to work in certain jobs and careers.
HF20- Protects Iowas students from sexual exploitation by a school employee.
HF28- Requires high schools to teach financial
literacy courses to better prepare Iowas students following graduation. These types of classes will promote
important skills and concepts for adult life like money
management, college planning, savings and investments,
credit and debt, and insurance coverage.
HJR1- Protects the privacy and liberty of Iowans by extending Fourth Amendment protection to Iowans electronic communications and data.
Second Amendment
There is a group of legislators working on a Second Amendment Bill, we have not seen a draft of the bill
yet but following are some of the language that will be
included:
Right to Keep and Bear Arms Constitutional
Amendment: This would add to our state constitution
language protecting our second amendment rights in
Iowa. This will be a stand-alone bill as it is a constitutional amendment.
Youth Safe Shooting & Parental Rights Act:
This would remove the age limitations on when a parent
or guardian can teach a minor to shoot a handgun.
Emergency Powers Reform: This would prohibit restrictions being put on second amendment rights
during a state of emergency.
Permit Privacy: This would protect a permit
holders privacy by prohibiting the release of the personally identifiable information an applicant submits when
