By Jill Viles One would imagine a program dedicated to erad-icating bullying and teen suicide would originate in per-

sons who had experienced these trials first-hand, but thiswas not the case for Breck Johnson and his wife, Jenny.Following a severe car crash in 2010, Breck and Jennysearched for meaning in their lives, and de-cided to work together to provide educationto those wanting to reduce and, ultimately,

prevent bullying and teensuicides. “We felt that ifwe were given this secondchance at life, we were go-ing to grab a hold of it anddo something importantwith our lives,” explainedJenny Johnson. Their group, “ItGets Better: Fort Dodgeand Beyond,” is made up

of three community members including Breck and JennyJohnson, as well as Josh Roberts. Breck and Jenny metJosh Roberts while pursuing a fitness class, and they real-ized many of their ambitions in life overlapped. Sincethen, the threesome has traveled throughout the areaspeaking to parents, students, and educators about bully-ing prevention and suicide prevention. Recently they metat the Gowrie Community Center, and spoke to a small,yet eager audience of nine children and seven adults. As Jenny Johnson explained, bullying takesmany forms. It includes traditional forms such as name-calling, social exclusion and physical fighting, but also

extends into new spheres of life not encountered

in previ-ous generations. For example, young people can experi-ence “cyber-bullying” through the use of social media.

“Everything you do on the Internet is out therefor all to see,” admonished Jenny Johnson. “If you don’tfeel like telling something in front of your mother orgrandmother, just don’t put it out there. Johnson went

on to explain that even though you maythink you have removed every last traceof an undesirable photo or conversa-

tion, it is still outthere and accessi-ble to others. Shecites Facebookmisuse as one ofthe leading causesfor depression inyoung people. “Itcauses a lot of drama

that is not necessary,”she continued. Emily Larson, a

parent in attendance, concurred. “I definitely see Face-book as a utilized search tool as we consider hiring a staffmember at our hospital.” Johnson stressed that this all boils down to therelationship that parents have with their kids. “You needto remind them that nothing is going to shock you or em-barrass you. You can never emphasize too much that youhave seen and heard it all before.” When a student is bullied in a crowded placesuch as the bus, Johnson urges them to shout out whatis going on. For example, “No! I do not want to kissyou!” shouted loudly and directly will alert surroundingstudents, and perhaps the bus driver, that there is a prob-

lem on the bus.Additionally she reminds students there are cam-eras on the bus, and their purpose is to catch bullying asit happens and as a student reports the offense. However,several students at the seminar said they are concerned be-cause sometimes the cameras are out of charge or are notworking. High School student, Maggie Mc Cormackraised another concern. “Sometimes our school pushesthings [bullying] under the rug.” In terms of advice for parents, the presenters sug-gested reading through the State of Iowa Code (280.29)for dealing with bullies. She advised this procedure mustbe adhered to, but also cautions that much of the languageis vague. Additionally the group shared signs that may

indicate a child is being bullied. These include: miss-ing lunch money, a child who pretends to be sick to missschool, a child asking for extra money to take to school,and finally, avoidance of after school activities. Also, achild who is being bullied may be tired, lack motivation,isolate themselves, have difficulty controlling anger, andnot want to tell parents what’s going on out of embarrass-ment.

Students at Southeast Valley High School drove theirtractor to school on Wednesday, March 16.

According to the presenters, cyberbullying isdefinitely the main type of bullying encountered by to-day’s young people. Johnson urges a few steps whenfaced with Internet bullying: Copy the offending mate-rial, and paste it in a permanent place, block the offender

This is a column written by Glenn Schreiberin April of 2005. People mentioned in the columninclude Jack LeValley, Linda Hansen, Gary Hagge,

Dora Henrickson, Alice Thompson, and other peopleand places. Jack LeValley, Dayton, met Linda Hansendowntown last week and asked, “What’s happened toGlenn?” Linda explained that we were a little busy andtemporarily understaffed. But why do you ask? “Well, he hasn’t had his column in lately,” hesaid. (It didn’t appear for two weeks). So, just for good ole’ buddy Jack LeValley---I’ve had lunch with him and Ivan Skoglund countlesstimes—I’m back to writing a column and hopefully, itwill be in every week. At the Post Office I bumped into Gary Hagge,another old pal. That’s old as in years of knowing Gary,not in years of longevity.

“Lucy (his wife) doesn’t let me out much,” saidGary in his dry humor style. “But I do get to go to thePost Office and downtown every now and then.” And hestill is an avid hunter. We recalled the days of our old coffee gang

eeting down at the Lunch Box (now Cedes). Everyorning at 7 a.m. the gang dutifully got together and

everyone had their “own” chair. Dick Chinburg, JimAinslie, Gary Hagge, Chuck Danielson, Dave Cramer,Dan Sonsken, Clarence Schlief, and our own “Jan andDean” (Jan and Dean Gordon). Jim’s wife Cheryl andJan would voluntarily serve coffee and breakfast for thegang while Theresa made the breakfasts. Theresa, incidentally, stopped by our office thispast winter and left me this note: “Have you stumbleddown any steps lately.” Buddy Rick Hansen witnessed

e loosing my footing on some icy steps, but I landed inone piece. Gary recalled the time when he was the desig-nated Dead Crow counter for Southeast Webster County.(Remember a few years back when finding dead crowswas useful in determining any outbreak of that now in-famous mosquito driven disease, the name of which es-capes me now). Anyway, I was designated the “assistantdead crow counter” and there were endless jokes aboutthis.

Gary said he would be e-mailing some materialshowing the true brilliance of Jim Ainslie, who recentlyhad a birthday. It’s never too late to do a mini-roast. And that’s what the early morning coffee ses-sions were all about. We all got roasted and toasted overthe most trivial things. It was a riot, a rollicking show one

didn’t want to miss and I’ll never forget it. Maybe, justaybe, somehow that past can repeat itself. But just for

the record, the characters in Dayton are still telling theirstories, just in a different way and place. Don Appleton from Fort Collins, CO, writes usthis short note: Good job. Keep up the good work. Greatreading about the place I grew up. Have you heard any-thing about a 30-year class reunion for the Dayton HighSchool Class of 1975? Don, no I haven’t. But I’ll check with Sid whostill has a handle on the town. Hold it Don, Diane Peeler,who really has some inside info on these things, said theclass of 1965 will be having their reunion on the Fourthof July weekend. Nothing yet on the class of 1975. Buthey, class members get busy on your 30th reunion! Natu-rally, the all-school class reunion continues to be on the

Memorial Day weekend. Dora Hendrickson, Dayton’s own Happy Hug-ger, brought me a gift a few weeks ago. It was a neatlywrapped container with a card saying: Have a happy Eas-ter dinner. Ah, food. Nothing better than that. Inside was a small box which read: Three piecechicken dinner, no cholesterol. I opened this smaller boxand there were three kernels of corn. Dora has always caught me off guard with littlesurprises…sometimes things left on my windshield, mycar seat, whatever. But this time she really topped themall. Maybe I’ll have to get her a microphone for your per-formances at the women’s club events. When she talksinto it everything will be in Latin. Alice Thompson, a quiet, unassuming woman,

oved to Dayton about a year ago. She volunteers her

time in so many charitable ways and she is the type who“blends” in so well that people often don’t notice her, orjust take her for granted. She doesn’t mind too muchbecause her constant giving bring her true joy. When she moved from Colorado to the Harcourtapartments about seven years ago, she volunteered hertime for the Harcourt Activity Club, working countlesshours at the concession stand. She does many volunteerthings for her church and in Dayton she volunteers her

time at Community Grocery, serving coffee and mealsfor the noon lunch crowd. This is a brief, and largelyincomplete list of the many wonderful things she does ona continual basis at the age of 81. She is a lamb to almosteveryone, but a real tiger in her zeal to make our smallworld a better place. Alice got her start in life in the Lehigh area. Shewas married to Leonard Thompson who farmed. Alicewasn’t the conventional housewife. She had an entrepre-neurial spirit going way back. She owned and operatedthe Riverside tavern and bar for 13 years and she built thenice, attractive Riverside building that still is the River-side restaurant and bar. She served a bountiful breakfast,

a popular lunch, and some great evening meals. Aliceand Leonard had an idyllic life, living in the “castle” inLehigh for those 13 years. But her life suddenly changed. Leonard waskilled in a car accident in 1970. Her world crumbled, butshe has an inner strength that is incredible. After a fewyears she was hitched to a new man and they moved toColorado. They bought a 750-acre farm and irrigated theland for crops. They raised lambs (27 at a high point) andcalves (32, highest level). They lived close to the landfor 20 years until he died suddenly in 1996. Two yearslater Alice rebounded again, with the valuable land givento Leonard’s children.

Alice moved to Harcourt to be closer to familymembers. She has a remarkable inner drive to help peo-ple, the community, and everyone around her. Her man-

ner is so quiet that no one really knows what an amazinglife she has had.

There’s something amazing about thoseHarcourt female entrepreneurs. Speaking of restaurants, Hollister’s in Daytonhas really improved. The Mexican food on Thursdaynights is simply terrific—I love making my own fajitasthere. Great food, buffet style, so much variety and all sogood and hardly anyone is going there to take advantageof it. The price at $5 is a great bargain. The fish fry onFriday nights is also very good—one of the best around. So, so much better and closer to home than hav-ing seafood in Des Moines, as if any restaurant in Iowaserves decent seafood (lobster, etc.) Hang in there Denis, looking forward to Michi-gan Joanna.

Puppy mills in Iowa. . . .

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter, asking the readers, getahold of Rep. Chip Baltimore, and Sen. Jerry Behn andrespectfully ask them to support the bill that would helpprotect dogs, in dog breeding facilities.

Did you know that Iowa has over 200 puppymills? They house over 15,000 adult dogs, and Iowa issecond in the nation only to Missouri, in the number ofpuppy mills. In 2015, more than 1/2 of them were citedfor violating the Animal Welfare Act.

That’s UP from 2014 when 47% were cited.And so far, in 2016, 41% of breeders have been cited forviolations!

I am asking Rep. Chip Baltimore and Sen. Jer-ry Behn to support animal welfare legislation, and lets’show the nation that Iowa can and will do better!

Respectfully,Adrienne Smith of Jefferson

“Don’t Forget the Little Things”

We, in our busyness, tend to forget about thelittle things in life. You are probably wondering what Imean when I say the phrase “little things”. Well, here areas few examples.

How many times are we going to complimentsomeone on doing a good job or giving a good program,and we don’t because we feel the timing is wrong. Wedon’t happen to see the person when they are alone or weuse some other excuse.

How many friends are waiting for a kind wordfrom us and we fail to give it to them? Then there arethe”little” things we intend to do for the Lord – such asserving on a committee or teaching a class for SundaySchool.

And how many people have we invited to ourworship service? Of course. then there are the “little”negative things we do – such as responding to a remarkwith cutting words.

Or the way we tear someone down because wemay be jealous of them? Yes, little things in life canmake a difference. Let us do the good “little” things andeliminate the :little” negative ones. Remember the Gold-en Rule – “do unto others as you want them to do untoyou.

Dayton Review

With Easter almost here I was reminiscing aboutlast year’s Easter at my daughter’s home. After churchI was invited to her house for dinner and to be with theirfamily. It was a good dinner but the real “treat” followedshortly thereafter when, thanks to a beautiful warmer day,the little ones were taken outside for an Easter egg hunt.Just watching their delight at each find, I had as much funas they did Thinking of that time, I’d like to share some ofthe symbols of Easter. Some may be familiar to you andothers not as well known. Perhaps reading about themwill bring back some of your Easter memories or providenew information.

The third week of February the frigid windswere blowing causing driving, walking and other diffi-culties if you had to be outside. The next day granted usan advanced glace of spring giving us a renewed trustthat spring would come. It was enough to prompt us tolook around us, some of us seeing robins; I saw crowsand geese. But as I stepped into my garage, there in asmall crack between the paving and the opening was asingle green spring of some kind of weed. I left it for itwas, to me, another one of His promises of good thingsto come. Then I heard it. Though I couldn’t spot it in anyof the nearby trees I thought it might be a cardinal lettingus know it was up there but not quite ready to show hisbright red feathers. Easter is coming so we know that spring willtoo. When thinking of all the signs of springI realized how many also are symbols of

The symbols of Easter...

Easter. There are quite a few, some of which may seem tobe “far out” or “secular” like the chick and Easter Bunny.But, an egg is the symbol of the tomb from which Christemerged and the hatching chick is the sign of new life.The rabbit was in olden times a symbol of abundant newlife, reminding of spring bringing new life. Lambs andother baby animals are additional Easter symbols. If youwere brought up on a farm or near a farming communityyou will recall that the new chickens and other farm ani-mals were usually hatched or born in early spring. Thelamb is also a symbol of Christ, the Lamb of God. We recognize the lily as the Easter flower. Liliesbursting forth from the earth in the spring are a symbolof new life and the resurrection of Christ. I like to thinkthat their distinct sweet smell, sometimes overwhelmingand lingering, keeps us more aware of that resurrection.In fact all the early sprouting and blooming flowers arethe reminder of that resurrection and new life. A lightedcandle will always remind us that Christ is the Light ofthe World and we display and wear a cross as the tangiblereminder of Jesus’ victory over death. Some foods are symbols or reminders of Eastertoo. Hot cross buns, a somewhat sweetbread, warm with across of frosting on each bun, are served on Easter morn-ing as a symbol of Easter and the risen Christ. Pretzelscan also be a symbol, those larger ones twisted in a shapeto represent arms crossed in prayer. I always thought thatwearing new hats and clothes was just a chance to getnew attire for spring and to dress your children up but

one source I found said that NEW clothes symbolizednew life offered through the death and resurrectionof Jesus. I still think Easter was just more of a good

“reason” for getting new clothes. Besides the kidshad outgrown all of last year’s warm weather things

and some got the older siblings’ outgrown togs. My favorite Easter symbol is the butterfly. Its

whole life cycle symbolizes the life of Christ. The firststage is a caterpillar – Jesus’ life on Earth. The sec-

ond is the cocoon stage, symbolizing the crucifixion andburial of Jesus. The third and final stage is that beautifulbutterfly. The cocoon is opened and the butterfly emerges– is raised from the dead. To many of us a caterpillar isa creepy, crawly and sometimes repulsive critter. Manypeople felt that way about Jesus so the killed him (so theythought). He was wrapped head to toe in “grave clothes”and put in a tomb. But He didn’t remain that way andthat cocoon (grave clothes)) fell away and he emerged inall his glory and after a short stay with us “flew “away.However, unlike the butterfly, He’ll be back! This year if you happen to have the opportunityfor a family Easter dinner or a time when there is an egghunt, think about, not only the egg, the chicken and bun-nies, but what they and the other symbols mean. Those

egg hunts, time at church with the lilies, the candles, thecross and perhaps the hot cross buns for breakfast, andeven new clothes could be a good time to tell the youngerones about the Easter symbols. HAPPY MEMORIES – HAPPY EASTER EV-ERYONE!

Healthy soil can lead to better crop yields, re-duce the need for chemical inputs and have positiveimpacts on water quality. Farmers’ perspectives on soil

health is a focus of the 2015 Iowa Farm and Rural LifePoll. Interest in the topic of soil health has been onthe rise in Iowa and the Corn Belt region in recent years,but little was previously known about farmers’ famil-iarity with the concept. The 2015 Iowa Farm and RuralLife Poll was designed to gauge farmers’ beliefs aboutpotential benefits of soil health, their soil health knowl-edge and management capacity and their assessments oflandlords’ knowledge about soil health practices. “Research efforts to understand what makes soilhealthy are have increased in recent years, and conser-vation groups like the USDA Natural Resources Con-servation Service have made soil health a central part oftheir programs for farmers,” said J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr.,associate professor of sociology and extension sociolo-

gist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.“Understanding what farmers know and think about soilhealth can help guide the development of research andextension programs on the topic.” Farmers were presented a series of survey itemsabout the potential benefits of soil health, their knowl-edge of soil health and capacity to manage for improvedsoil health, and the amount of attention the press and fel-

low farmers were paying to soil health. They were askedto rate their level of agreement or disagreement with eachitem on a five-point scale, ranging from strongly disagree

(1) to strongly agree (5). Not surprisingly, most farmers viewed healthysoils as beneficial; 93 percent agreed that healthy soilcan lead to increased crop yields, 77 percent agreed thathealthy soils can reduce vulnerability to drought condi-tions and 75 percent agreed that healthy soils can reducecrop input needs. Farmers also expressed some concerns about theimpacts of production practices on soil health. Eighty-four percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed thatthey were concerned about the impact of compaction onsoil health and 70 percent had concerns about the impactof pesticides on soil health. The survey also gauged farmers’ knowledge of soil health and their confidence in their capacity to im-prove the health of the soils they farm. Most respondents

- 72 percent - indicated they had given more thought tosoil health in recent years, and 76 percent reported thatthey had taken steps to improve the quality of their soil.While about 70 percent felt that they have a good un-derstanding of the concept of soil health, and two-thirdsagreed that they know how to manage for improved soilhealth, only 54 percent indicated that they have an effec-

the social media sites. One of the main ways to combat bullying is tospeak up when you witness an occurrence. Also, the groupurged students in attendance to never let another studentchoose to eat lunch completely by themselves. Reach-ing out to others who are lonely is a great way to combatbullying. Additionally, teachers are great role models aswell. “Bullies have often been bullied themselves,”suggested the group members in closing. “People bullybecause it brings them power at a time when their con-fidence is diminished.” Finally, the meeting closed withthe passing out of “ambassador cards,” which are cardslisting sources students can turn to when they need helpwith these types of problems.

Webster Township is bounded on the west by thetown of Lehigh, north by Washington Township, east byHamilton County and the south border is the meanderingDes Moines River. The whole township is approximately20 square miles. The north and east portions are flat andtillable, mostly Clarion-Webster soil, the west and south

are scenic hills and timberland inhabited by deer, fox,squirrel, several species of wild birds and many varietiesof wild edibles. Webster Township is the site of Vegors Cemeterywhich was given to the county by the Vegors family in1949. At that time there was a need for a place to bury Mrs.Lott, the first white woman to die in the county. She diedfrom exposure after the Indians had raided the Lott cabin.The Vegor family owned a scenic hilltop overlooking themeeting place of the Boone and Des Moines rivers. On thishilltop were also found 5 Indian mounds and here Mrs.Lott was buried. In 1960, the bones of eleven prehistoric peoplewere discovered by State Archaeologists in a digging nearhere. They were classified as Middle Woodlands-- peoplewho lived between 500 BC and 500 AD. Their bones were

buried in the Vegors Cemetery with a headstone explain-ing the story. Government and Department of Interior hada ceremony with an Air Force Military plane flying over-head. It is a scenic and historic site, peaceful and nostal-gic. This writer wonders who financed the large spiralingmarker, as part of her family had died shortly after the raid. Discovery of coal in the are brought in influx ofminers from states as far away as Pennsylvania, it was agroup of miners from this state who suggested that the twovillages of Vesper and Lackawanna unite under the nameof Lehigh and then incorporate. A brick factory was builthere in the early days to take advantage of the plentifulsupply of coal for heating the kilns and also the excellentquality of the clay. Later the Lehigh Sewer pipe and Tilecompany was constructed in 1907 and operated until re-cent years.

The firm was purchased in 1964 and was thenoperated as the W. S. Dickey Manufacturing Company.Principal products are clay sewer pipe and flue liners forchimneys. Standing well up the hill east of the Des MoinesRiver is a large brick house which has been a communitylandmark since the turn of the century. It was owned bythe Steven Rhodes family. Mr. Rhodes was the director ofBlanden Gallery in Fort Dodge. It was built by George Wellington Post who cameto Lehigh in 1872. He was born in 1845 in New York andmigrated to Lehigh. Construction of this elegant house wasbegun in 1899 and was completed in 1901. The brick camefrom the former Corey Brick and Tile Co. of Lehigh. Someof the stone over the windows and doors was shipped outfrom Pennsylvania. There were parquet floors and ornatebalustrades and much intricate woodwork. Despite allthese features the house is said to have cost only $4,000.00.The sad part of this story is that George Post died Sep-tember 17, 1900 at the age of 55 years and never did havethe pleasure of living in his “Dream House”. Emma Postand her son Archie moved into the house in 1901. Georgeand Emma Post’s tow great-grandsons, Richard and JohnSwanson are married and are farming the original Postfarm located east of Lehigh. Webster Township is historic with old historybut will also be important with the new. In 1969 the StateConservation Commission started buying land to establish

a 1000 acre state park. The site is 5 miles directly east oLehigh. At the time of this writing no construction hasbeen started. It is proposed to dam Brushy Creek to make arecreational lake for boating and swimming. The north partis to be reserved for wild life and hunting. There will becamper facilities, a swimming pool and a golf course. At

this time it is an improved park with a Ranger in residenceMost of the residents of Webster Township are in farm-ing and there are mixed emotions about the proposed StatePark. There is some enthusiasm about recreation seekerscoming into the are and the effect it will have on theirlives, land values, population and privacy. In Webster Township is an old Indian buryingground, which was taken over by the earliest pioneers andit is now know as Vegors Cemetery. Here is buried Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) aRevolutionary War soldier who served under GeneralGeorge Washington. Also nearby is a Memorial shaft to the first pio-neer woman to die in what is now the county of Webster.The inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date is1849. The shaft was dedicated in September 1911. The

dedicatory address was given by Ellsworth School Super-intendent, Fred Runkle, who is probably responsible forthe date of 1849. In his speech he acknowledged that manyold-timers insisted that the historic Indian raid occurred in1846. He, however, accepted the date of a so-called au-thority as 1849. The shaft was unveiled by Rebecca Mc-Quire, a younger sister of Mrs. Jemina McQuire Lott, thesecond wife of Henry Lott. Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure followingthe Indian raid by Chief, “Two-Fingers Sidominadota”, a“Sisseton Sioux”. The date of this raid being a point of contention among historians for over a century. Now myresearch: In retreat from the raiders a Lott son, 12 yearold Milton died trying to reach the settlement in BooneCounty. The date on his grave N. W. of Boone being De-cember of 1846. His burial was described by an able local

historian, C. S. Lucas, who was present when the gravewas marked along with some of the old pioneers who hadassisted in the burial

tive soil health management plan. “Iowa farmers are paying more attention to soilhealth, and report that they are taking steps to improveit,” Arbuckle said. “That said, most farmers would like tolearn more about how to manage for soil health, and therewas a lot of uncertainty about the effectiveness of currentmanagement. I think there’s a demand for more research-based information on soil health.” Most respondents indicated that they have no-ticed more discussion of soil health in the farm press,with 80 percent noticing a spike in information on thetopic. Despite this jump in attention to the subject in thepress, only 46 percent of farmers noticed more discussionamong fellow farmers. Because more than half of Iowa farmlandis rented, the survey also asked farmers to assess theirlandlords’ awareness and knowledge of soil health. Thereviews were mixed, with 28 percent agreeing that land-lords know what farming practices can improve soilhealth while 27 percent disagreed. Twenty-two percentof respondents agreed that landlords have a good under-standing of soil health while 29 percent disagreed. “Almost half of farmers selected ‘uncertain’when asked whether their landlords know about the con-cept of soil health and how to improve it,” said Arbuckle.“Those results suggest that a lot of farmers haven’t talkedabout soil health with their landlords.”

The Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll has been inexistence since 1982, surveying Iowa farmers on issuesof importance to agricultural stakeholders. It is the lon-gest-running survey of its kind in the nation.

Dayton Review

Iowa’s economy is experiencing slow, but stablegrowth according to the three member panel charged withforecasting Iowa’s General Fund revenues. The Rev-

enue Estimating Conference held their spring meetingon Wednesday to review and revise their projections forstate revenue in FY 2016 and FY 2017, and set a prelimi-nary estimate for FY 2018. All three members of the committee noted thatIowa’s fiscal situation is better than other states who arealready in recession or on the verge of falling into reces-sion. The state’s economy has experienced slow growthdespite the impact of a falling farm economy. Sluggishexport markets and the strength of the dollar are having asignificant impact on the rural economy. While ag-related income has fallen, growth inthe state’s financial services and insurance industry hasbeen able to offset the decline. The state’s housing marketis also experiencing growth, which is helping to keep theeconomy in positive territory. Wage and salary figures

for Iowa workers are also growing, helping to maintaingrowth in state tax collections while other componentsare lagging behind. For FY 2016, the panel decided to keep the rev-enue estimate at the same level as they had forecast inDecember - $7.0456 billion. For FY 2017, the panel decided to lower theirforecast for state sales tax collections. In December, theyhad predicted that this category would experience 2.7%

Coupling passes unanimously in the Senate The coupling bill was passed out of the Senate50-0 on Tuesday after an agreement was announced lastweek between House and Senate leaders.

I want to thank you for your continuous support,and for calling other senators and urging them to couple.It was because of you we were able to bring the bill to thefloor for debate. The passage of this bill will save $97 milliondollars for our small businesses, rural communities andteachers. This is money Iowans can put into their pocketsand reinvest in our state and community.Renewable Chemical Tax Credit Program

This week the Senate also passed a bill regard-ing a renewable chemical tax credit program, SF 2300.The tax credit is 5 cents per pound of renewable chemi-cals produced in the state and allows new businesses toget up to $1 million in tax credits. Established businessesthat have been in the state more than five years can get upto $500k in tax credits. Credits are refundable and non-transferrable and companies can only apply and receivethese credits five times. Maximum credits available forthis program is $10 million. Iowa currently ranks first in corn production,second in soybean production, second in biodiesel pro-duction, and has the second largest supply of biomass at14.4 million dry tons per year. We lead the nation in etha-nol production with 43 facilities. Other agricultural states in the Midwest are go-

ing to be competing for these biochemical companies toset up shop in their own states. This program could solid-ify Iowa’s position as the leading biochemical producingstate in the country.The Suppressor Bill comes to the Floor Another bill we saw come to the floor this weekwas a new suppressor bill legalizing firearm suppressorsin Iowa. Anyone wanting to purchase a suppressor wouldhave to comply with federal law, which requires a personto be a resident of the U.S., legally eligible to purchase afirearm, pass a background check by the Bureau of Al-cohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATFE), pay aonetime $200 transfer tax per suppressor, live in a statethat authorizes suppressors, and be at least 21.

The bill would remove suppressors from the listof offensive weapons and establishes a process for pur-

chase of a suppressor including application to the chieflaw enforcement officer where the person resides. Theofficer has 30 days to issue certification if the applicant

eets all the above conditions.The bill in its current state creates a class “D”

felony for possession of a suppressor in Iowa in violationof federal law and would be effective upon enactment.Turtle harvesting bill passes Senate HF 2357, a bill creating a season for turtle har-vesting, came to the floor on Tuesday. The legislationrequires the Natural Resources Commission to adopt aseason and bag limits for commercial harvesters, as wellas conduct a study on turtle populations.

Turtles reproduce at a very limited level so yearround harvests do have the potential to threaten popula-tion numbers. Iowa is one of 10 states without limits onturtle harvesting, while all states in the Midwest minusMissouri prohibit or limit turtle harvesting. Nearby stateshave researched population numbers and have concludedthat overharvesting is a problem. Currently, the DNR re-ports harvesting numbers by commercial harvesters haveincreased from 30,000 pounds in 1987 to 238,000 poundsin 2013 mostly as the market in the Far East continues togrow.The bill passed the Senate 47-2.

Second Funnel Week: What’s Alive and What’s Dead Here are the big bills that are still alive for theLegislative session SF 166, the fantasy sports bill that would allowIowa fantasy sports players to claim their winnings SF 232, a bill would ban anyone 17 years oldand younger from using tanning facilities. HF 2384, the medical marijuana bill that allowsaccess only for patients with intractable epilepsy, mul-tiple sclerosis or cancer. SF 2225, the sports concussions bill that re-quires the home team at varsity high school collisionsports would be required to provide a licensed athletic

trainer, doctor or physical therapist to assess concussionsand other injuries SF 2113, the fireworks bill SF 2218 and HF 2380, a bill authorizing emer-gency medical technicians and others to obtain a supplyof drugs to combat heroin overdoses and provide immu-nity from legal liability for persons providing so-calledopioid antagonists SF 2142 and HF 2328, allowing Iowans whoare 17 years old could vote in a primary election if theywould be 18 years old by the date of the general election

The following bills have died as a consequenceof the second funnel SF 2224, the bicycle bill HF 2281, allowing children under 14 use hand-guns with parental supervision

HF 2280, a bill that would have specified thatstate officials can’t prohibit or curtail lawful gun posses-sion during a state of emergency SF 2198, the ‘Right to Try’ bill SF 2222, allowing Iowa pharmacists to pre-scribe birth control pills control pills to females of anyage As always, I want to hear from you.

growth in FY 2017. That figure was lowered to 1.5%growth. The REC’s calculations did include the impact ofthe federal tax extenders bill which is projected to raiserevenue by $76.4 million. The net effect of these changesis the Revenue Estimating Conference is a forecast of$7.3574 billion in General Fund revenue for FY 2017,$30 million higher than December’s figure. The new FY 2017 projection is not the finalnumber that will be used by the Legislature, as the legis-lative agreement on coupling with federal tax changes fortax year 2015 and consumables was not included. Sincethe Governor has not yet acted on House File 2433, thefiscal impact of the bill was not included in the estimates.

This would increase the FY 2017 number by approxi-mately $23 million. The Revenue Estimating Conference also madean initial projection for FY 2018. There was agreementon the percentage rate of growth between LSA and theDepartment of Management. The REC set growth at4.1 percent for FY 2018, projecting state revenue to be$7.6591 billion. This would amount to a projected in-crease of $301.7 million. As always, thank you for your support and al-lowing me to represent you in the Iowa House. Pleasecontact me with any concerns or issues at [email protected].
