ICOR Boxing

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, Rainer Nitsche, and we join together to celebrate the beautiful life he lived. Rainer brought so much joy, dedication, and warmth to our ICOR Boxing Rock Steady family. He was a truly wonderful friend who inspired us all with his steady presence and kind heart, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who shared the gym floor with him.
Our hearts go out to Donna and his entire family during this time. We take comfort in knowing that Rainer is resting peacefully in a beautiful place, leaving us with a legacy of friendship and bright memories that will continue to lift our spirits. Rainer, you will always be a part of our team and forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, our friend Sugar Ray🥊🥊

Luck gets the credit.

God did the work.

The closed door. The delay. The lesson you didn't understand at the time. The strength that showed up exactly when you needed it.

Looking back, too many things lined up perfectly to call it luck.

Some battles were won on your knees before they were won in your hands.

If God has carried you this far, don't doubt what He can do next. 🙏🏻

“Anyone who signs up to be a fighter, effectively you sign up to a life of solitary confinement. You are alone, because people are following, they’re watching what you do. It’s a lonely life, it’s tough. It’s great if you can embrace it. But it’s tough. Today guys are looking at money, they’re looking at bling, and that has a sad ending. A beautiful ending is one where we become mentors, we become servers of the community.”

~ Chris 'Simply The Best' Eubank
The path of discipline and excellence often requires sacrifice, self-control, and moments of loneliness that few people truly understand. Yet these challenges can shape character and wisdom. While material rewards may fade, a life dedicated to serving, guiding, and uplifting others creates a lasting legacy.

Our highest achievement is not what we gain for ourselves, but what we give back to our community and the lives we help transform.

STATEMENT: IOWA HOUSE DEMOCRATS APPLAUD INCLUSION OF THEIR WATER QUALITY PRIORITIES IN NEW LAW

Joint Statement from State Representative Austin Baeth, State Representative Kenan Judge, Rep. Elinor A. Levin, and State Rep. Mary Madison:

“Iowans have been asking us to take action to clean up our waterways. Earlier this year, Iowa House Democrats introduced a comprehensive plan to clean up Iowa’s water through stronger investments, better monitoring, and partnerships with farmers. We’re encouraged to see parts of that vision reflected in this legislation, but there is still much more work to do. While this additional funding is a step in the right direction, it falls far short of the bold action needed to address Iowa’s water crisis.

Clean water is essential to Iowa’s health, economy, and future, and we must continue working together to make it a top priority.”
