Comments on the tournament from Atlantic Boys Golf Coach Ed DenBeste: “Going into this meet, I knew they boys were pretty tired.  We had traveled around the state for several meets and I was hoping that we weren’t too tired.  Great to see our team get the win today with a good score of 323 in the wind.  Denison is a good course but very tough with a strong wind.  When you have 5 of your 6 golfers in the top 10, you know you have played a good solid round.  Zac played great.  He had some struggles earlier in the week but this was a great round for him.  Jake had played well all day and just had two bad holes at the end.  The par 3s on the back are difficult.  Ben and Kyle played solid today.  This was Matt Gearheart’s first round here so it was great to see him shoot a good score of 83.  Nate had a nice round as well especially after being sick yesterday.  I know he will get that score down.  Great win for our team!!!!!”

To end overtime session, lawmakers must navigate roadblocks

News

April 23rd, 2016 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There isn’t a deadline for the Iowa Legislature to adjourn, but there clearly are some issues that are keeping lawmakers from finishing their work. Lawmakers try to be done by the annual date when payments for their expenses end. This year payments ended on April 19, so lawmakers are several days late with plenty of work ahead of them in the coming week.

Although legislators have reached deals on some issues, such as K-12 education funding and tax rules, there’s disagreement over Medicaid oversight, transportation, infrastructure funding and whether to block state spending on the family planning organization Planned Parenthood.

At least some bills that will make up the nearly $7.35 billion budget are expected to be sorted out in special legislative committees.
