STATE WRESTLING

I THOUGHT I BETTER UP DATE ON THE FRANKVILLIAN WRESTLERS. ETHAN SNITKER & MITCHELL SCHULTZ BOTH MADE IT TO DISTRICT WRESTLING ON SAT FEB 9. ETHAN ENDED UP IN 3RD PLACE AFTER A VERY VERY POOR OFFICIATING AND SHOULD BE COMPETING IN THE STATE TOURN. WELL MITCHELL IS ON A MISSION AND WON THE DISTRICT TOURN, AND WILL COMPETE IN THE STATE TOURN. SO WE ARE IN DES MOINES, CHEERING LIKE MAD. TOURN STARTED ON WED, HE WON HIS FIRST MATCH, WHICH MADE FOR A NIGHT OF CELEBRATING, LIKE I HAVE POSTED BEFORE OUR PACKING HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS, SINCE THE CHILDREN HAVE GROWN. WE ONLY BROUGHT 1 PACKAGE OF JUICE BOXES AND MORE ADULT JUICE BOXES. ON THURSDAY HE HAD HIS TOUGHEST MATCH ALL YEAR, CAME UP AGAINST THE #1 RATED GUY. MITCHELL WRESTLED REALLY WELL, BUT CAME UP SHORT ON THE DEAL LOSING 6-3. NEXT MATCH FOR WRESTLING BACKS, BROUGHT HIM AND US BACK TO LIFE. HE PINNED THE GUY IN 1:00 AND THE TEARS AND CHEERS WENT WILD. THAT WIN GUARANTEED HIM A METAL(WHICH HAS BEEN HIS WHOLE GOAL FOR THE YEAR) AND THE CHANCE TO PARTICPATED IN THE FINALS NIGHT PROGRAM. HE WILL BE IN THE GRAND MARCH AND WILL BE ON THE METAL STAND SATURDAY, WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHICH PLACE YET. TODAY HE WRESTLING AGAIN @ 1:00 HE WILL BE AGAINST A KID HIS HAS BEAT 3 TIMES THIS YEAR, SO HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL STAY THE SAME. THE KID IS FROM JESUP AND HIS COACH IS A GRADUATE OF PHS AND WAS A WRESTLING ALSO - BRENT MEYERS(BIG MEYERS), SO THAT MAKES IT ALL THE FUNNIER. IF HE WINS THAT HE WILL WRESTLE TONIGHT. I WILL TRY AND KEEP YA UPDATED.
WE AHVE ABOUT 5-6 ROOMS FULL OF PEOPLE DOWN HERE AND MORE COMING TODAY. SO THE EXCITEMENT WILL ONLY GET BETTER. HE WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE CEDAR RAPIDS GAZETTE, AND I GUESS THAT IS ONLINE ON THE GAZETTE WEBSITE. TRY AND CHECK IT OUT OR GO TO
WWW.WYATTSCHULTZPHOTOGRAPHY.COM. A FORMER FRANKVILLIAN THAT TAKES WRESTLING PICTURES OF A WERSTLING NEWSPAPER. REX YOU WILL ENJOY HIS WEBSITE.

I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES I WANT TO BLOG, BUT HAVING A HELL OF A TIME GETTING THEM LOADED. WHEN ALL THE WINTER SPORTS ARE DONE, NEXT WEEK I WILL HAVE TIME TO LOOK FOR A NEW COMPUTER OR FIGURE OUT HOW TO LOAD FROM SCHOOL, BUT THE SCHOOL PUTS SOME MUCH SERCURITY SHIT, IT MAKES IT A PAIN IN THE ASS.

MOST OF THEM OF COURSE ARE OF HARLIE KAY SLEDDING, CHRISTMAS, AND HER BIRTHDAY, WHICH WE MADE A TRIP TO BUILD A BEAR IN IOWAS CITY - LOADS OF FUN.

THIS WINTER HAS BEEN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FOR EVERY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IN THE STATE OF IOWA, SO I WILL BE GLAD WHEN APRIL ROLLS AROUND. NOT SURE ABOUT MARCH, WE USUALLY FOR PLENTY OF SNOW IN MARCH ALSO. I HAVE MY 1ST TRACK MEET SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 27TH, NOT LOOKING GOOD, BUT TIME WILL TELL.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THE WRESTLING GOES TODAY. TIME FOR BREAKFAST AND A SHOWER

IOWA CAUCUS 08

WELL I ATTENDED THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN FRANKVILLE. I REMEMBER THE 1ST CAUCUS I ATTENDED THERE, ONLY BECAUSE MY COUSIN JUDY WAS THE CHAIRPERSON AND TALKED ME INTO GOING, I KNOW I COULD COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE ON BOTH OF MY HANDS. IN 2002, LOW AND BEHOLD MY HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNMENT TEACHER ASKED ME TO BE THE CHAIRPERSON AND I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW MANY SHOWED UP THE LAST TIME I WENT AND I THOUGHT, THAT WONT BE SUCH A BIG DEAL. I DID TALKED MY SISTER SUSAN WHO RECENTLY MOVED TO FRANKVILLE TO GO, BECAUSE COUSIN JUDY WENT OFF AND MARRIED A WAUKON IRISHMEN AND MOVED AWAY, US FEW DEMOCRATS IN FRANKVILLE TOWNSHIP, WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER ON THIS KIND OF STUFF. KAYLA WAS A SENIOR AT THAT TIME AND WE MADE A STUDENT DELEGATE. SO IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THERE WAS AN ODD NUMBER OF PEOPLE THERE, NOT EVEN 20, SO WHEN WE WENT TO DO ALL THAT MATH STUFF, THE NUMBERS SEEMED KIND OF ODD, HOPE IT WAS RIGHT. 2004 THERE WERE ABOUT THE SAME LESS THEN 20 PEOPLE THERE AGAIN.

BUT NOT IN 2008, WOWWWWWWSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAD 130 PEOPLE IN THE FIRE STATION. I GUESS THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT A LITTLE DIVERSITY(BLACK COLOR) AND A WOMAN IN THE MIX OF CANDIDATES, EVEN THE TREE HUGGERS CAME OUT OF THE BOONIES, AND THE COLLEGE KIDS LEFT THE LOCAL PUB TO ATTEND. SEVERAL REPUBLICAN FACES THERE(DEMOCRAT WANT TO BES???????) IT WENT VERY SMOOTHLY. WE HAD 4 CANDIDATES REPRESENTED THERE. BILL RICHARDSON HAD 17 PEOPLE, AND THEY NEEDED 20 TO COUNT, SO THOSE PEOPLE ALL HAD TO PICK ANOTHER CANDIDATE, THEY ALL DID BUT 4. ENDED UP THE COLORED GUY GOT 4, EDWARDS GOT 3 AND HILLIARY GOT 2. IT WAS OVER IN 38 MINUTES. NOW THOSE WANT TO BE DEMOCRATS (WHICH THERE WERE AT LEAST 50 OR MORE NEW REGISTERED THERE THAT NIGHT) FOUND OUT WE DON'T MESS AROUND WE TAKE CARE OF OUR BUSINESS AND MOVE ON. I ROUNDED UP A FEW OF THOSE COLLEGE KIDS AND WE HAD THE TABLES & CHAIRS PUT AWAY BY 8:00 AND I WAS SITTING ON THE FIRE TRUCK AND HAVING A COCKTAIL WITH NEIGHBORS (CRAWFORDS) BY 8:15. DARREL HAS ALWAYS BE DEMOCRAT, BUT MARY JOINED THE BAND WAGON THIS YEAR.

AS JAY LENO SAID LAST NIGHT, WHEN THE SMALL MIDWEST STATE OF IOWA ELECTS A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT, ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

WELL THATS ENOUGH POLITICAL BULL CRAP. I NEED TO GET TO THE WRESTLING TOURN AND SEE HOW THE PIRATES ARE DOING. FRANKVILLIAN MITCHELL SCHULTZ RECEIVED HIS 100TH CAREER WIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH HIS MOTHER IN CHARGE OF PICTURES FOR THE PAPER, IM SURE THERE WILL BE SOME IN THERE.

ALSO MY SON BOUGHT ME A VERY NICE DIGITAL CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS, I HAVE LOADED ALL THE SOFTWARE ON MY WORK COMPUTER WITH PICTURES, SO MAYBE TOMORROW I CAN SHOW YOU CHRISTMAS EXCITEMENT, AND SLEDDING IN FRANKVILLE, WINTER HAS BEEN GREAT FOR THAT

HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO POST SOME GREAT PICTURES TOMORROW, OF ALL THE EXCITEMENT TONIGHT,

STORIES

AFTER TALKING HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH ONE OF MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS I DECIDED I BETTER GET EVERYONE UP TO SPEED ON THE POSTVILLE PIRATES. SO HERE IT GOES; FOOTBALL TEAMS FINISH VERY WELL, 5-4, HAD A GOOD BUT TOUGH SEASON, HAD 4 SENIORS, INCLUDING 2 FRANKVILLIANS, MITCHELL SCHULTZ & ETHAN SNITKER, ALONG WITH A JUNIOR FRANKVILLIAN KASSIDY COOK. THE FRANKVILLIANS DID GREAT, ALL RECEIVED SEVERAL AWARDS AT THE BANQUET AND COOK & SCHULTZ RECEIVED ALL STATE HONORS. THEIR LOSES WERE TOUGH ONES, BUT THEN ENDED THE SEASON WITH A GREAT WIN OVER THE KEE HAWKS OF LANSING, TEARS WERE FLOWING WITH A WIN FOR THE OUT GOING SENIORS. NOW ON TO VOLLEYBALL, KORI WAS A MEMBER OF THE VARSITY SQUAD AND PLAYED JV ALSO. THE GIRLS ENDED THEIR SEASON WITH A CONFERENCE RECORD OF 7 -3. PLAYED WELL ALL SEASON. LOST TO KEE HAWKS OF LANSING IN DISTRICT PLAY, WHICH WAS ANOTHER REASON IT WAS SO SWEET TO BEAT THEM IN FOOTBALL. BASKETBALL & WRESTLING UNDER WAY EXCEPT A SLIGHT PROBLEM SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!!! FIRST WRESTLING TOURN WAS CANCELED ON SATURDAY, AND THE FIRST BB GAME CANCELED ON SATURDAY, ALONG WITH LAST NIGHT GAMES CANCELED. SCHEDULING NIGHTMARE FOR GUESS WHO, ME. WRESTLING WE HAVE MITCHELL & ETHAN THE FRANKVILLIANS ON THE TEAM. WITH KORI SUE AS THEIR MANAGER. I WILL TRY AND KEEP YA UPDATED. BOYS BASKETBALL IS A SMALL GROUP WITH NO SENIORS, WILL SEE HOW THEIR YEAR GOES. AND THE GIRLS BB HAS HAD 2 GAMES, THEIR SEASON STARTS EARLIER, AND THEY ARE 2-0. GOOD START FOR THEM.

TODAY IS ONE OF BY BABIES BIRTHDAY, KAYLA IS 24 TODAY,WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
THE DAY SHE WAS BORN, I HAD AN APPT IN THE MORNING AND MEET DOUG ON MY WAY HOME AND WE WAVED AND HE DECIDED EVERYTHING WAS OK, SO HE VENTURED ON INTO MINN. TO WORK. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY MUST HAVE STIRRED SOMETHING UP BECAUSE 2 HRS LATER, MY SISTER & SISTER-IN-LAW SUSAN & DIANE LOADED ME UP AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. CALLED DOUG WHICH HE THOUGHT IS WAS A JOKE, BUT HE DID MAKE IT JUST IN TIME TO PUT THE SCRUBS ON AND WATCH HER ARRIVE. I WAS ONLY AT THE HOSPITAL LESS THEN 2 HRS. I HAD TO STAY AT HOME AND FINISH WATCHING DAYS OF LIVES, WHICH I STILL WATCH FAITHFULLY YET TODAY. AND GUESS WHERE KAYLA GOT HER NAME - "KAYLA BRADY". WE BROUGHT HER HOME IN A TERRIBLE SNOW STORM, TRAFFIC WAS NOT ADVISED THAT DAY, BUT I WAS GOING HOME. SO IT WASN'T A PROBLEM WHEN WE WENT THRU FRANKVILLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLACKTOP, SO EVERYONE THAT WAS IN THE SUPPER CLUB & TAVERN COULD COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS SNOWED TERRIBLE EVERY YEAR BUT ONE OF HER BIRTHDAYS, AND THAT WAS HER 18TH AND IT WAS 60 DEGREES, WE TOOK PICTURES OUTSIDE WITH NO COATS.

I GUESS THAT IS ENOUGH STORIES FOR NOW. I WILL TRY AND KEEP THIS UP TO DATE NOW. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE PICTURE THING HERE AT SCHOOL. I'M SURE I HAVE SOME TO SHARE.

REX'S BLOG

I THINK REX WROTE THAT BLOG ABOUT THE PACKERS, JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD GET A BLOG OUT OF ME, WELL GUESS WHAT IT WORKED. HE SEEMS TO FORGET ABOUT THE PACKERS ONE LOSE TO THE ONE AND ONLY BEARS. IT'S DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, THAT THE BEARS AREN'T WINNING, JUST AS LONG AS THEY BEAT THE PACKERS, IT'S A PERFECT YEAR.

ONCE AGAIN I TRIED A BLOG FROM HOME, JUST GETTING READY TO POST AND THE $%$#^ING COMPUTER FROZE AGAIN, SO I GUESS THAT COMPUTER IS HISTORY. I THINK I WILL WAIT A FEW WEEKS UNTIL THE CHRISTMAS SPECIALS COME OUT AND LOOK FOR A LAP TOP. ANYWAY MY BLOG WAS TITLED "IS IT LEGAL". HERE'S THE STORY: WE ARE BEING AUDITED BY THE RAILROAD INSURANCE(WHICH IS REALLY LIKE BEING AUDITED BY GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE OF COURSE THE RAILROAD IS RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT) FIRST WE HAD TO PROVE KORI IS LEGALLY OURS, NOT A PROBLEM, SENT A COPY OF HER BIRTH CERT. THEN WE HAD TO PROVE WE ARE LEGALLY MARRIED AND NOT A COMMON LAW MARRIAGE. WELL I THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING THE COURTHOUSE AND I THOUGHT THAT WILL TAKE TIME AND COST MONEY. SO I CALLED THE GOOD OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SISTER MARY SAID SHE WOULD SEND ME A COPY OF THE CHURCH MARRIAGE CERT AND THAT SHOULD WORK, GOOD BY ME. WELL KORI BRINGS HOME THE CERT FROM CHURCH AND WITH IT IS THE ORGINAL STATE CERT, WHICH SISTER MADE A NOTE SHE FOUND IT IN MY FILE AND IS WONDERING IF IT WAS EVER REGISTERED AT THE COURTHOUSE
