Senate News
By State Senator Julian B. Garrett

Fantasy Sports Gambling
There has been a push over the last two years or so to
allow daily fantasy sports sites to operate in Iowa. The
Iowa Senate passed such a bill this last session, but the
House did not pass it. Unfortunately, the federal gov-
eminent says that these sites involve games of skill and
are not gambling. I took the lead on the Senate floor in
opposing the bill. My contention is that no matter how
much time you spend studying a particular sport and
its players, there is a substantial element of chance when
you bet on the performance of certain athletes. Anyone
who follows sports knows that there are always times
when the star athlete has a bad game, and other times
when someone comes off the bench to turn in a great
performance and win the game. The Nevada Gaming
Commission has recently weighed in on the issue, rul-
ing that daily sports fantasy betting is indeed gambling.
I see very little difference between betting on the per-
formance of a racehorse, and the performance of a base-
ball or football player. You can study the backgrounds
and past performances'of horses and/or human athletes,
but there are always upsets that defy any predictions.
Iowa Youth Caucus Reminder
I am working with school administrators and teach-
ers to put on the Iowa Youth Caucus, for schools in
Warren and Madison Counties that have chosen to par-
ticipate. Earlham students will be attending the caucus
in Dallas County. This is a statewide, bipartisan effort
where high school and junior high students can learn
about the Iowa Caucuses. There will be both a Republi-
can Caucus and a Democrat Caucus and the students
will debate issues of their choosing. Representatives of
the presidential campaigns are invited to address the
gathering. All students will attend both caucuses. The
caucus will be held Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Indianola
High School, beginning at 4:30.
As always please feel free to contact me with your
ideas or concerns at Julian.Garrett@legis.iowa.gov.
Cooking
Savoring A Simple Yet
(NAPS)--Enjoying the
sav0ry charms of French
cooking can be easier than
you might imagine, if you
remember to stock the right
ingredients.
One example is Pernod, a
versatile, anise-flavored spirit
that can add distinctive
French flavor to many dishes.
Poussin Pernodine is a
classic French recipe that's
bright with flavor and well
suited for simple dinner par-
ties or a quick and delicious
men] at home. This dish can
be a greatway to celebrate
Bastille Day or any day.
Classic herbs enhance the fla-
vors of fish and poultry, and
a bit of Pernod works like a
bouquet garni.
