An armed robbery and theft
of a firearm occurred on Thursday in Alta starting at 5 p.m.,
leading lawmen on a chase
through Sac City and ultimately
an arrest of an Alta man.
Deputies were dispatched to
602 Main St. in Alta after receiving a report of a theft of a
firearm. At 5:30 p.m. an armed
robbery was reported at 788
600th St. near Alta.
The victim at that residence
reported an unknown man
knocked on the door asking for
help with a disabled vehicle.
While attempting to provide assistance, the unknown man
brandished a firearm and demanded the victim’s pickup.
The suspect fled in the victim’s
pickup, leading deputies to
send out a broadcast notifying
other law enforcement agencies
of the armed robbery.
A Sac County deputy met a
truck near M-50 and D-36 (old
Hwy. 20) that fit the description
of the stolen vehicle at 6 p.m.
As the deputy tried to make
a stop on the truck, the driver
tried to flee. Two sheriff’s
deputies pursued the truck east
on D-36 entering the city limits
of Sac City. Sac City Police
joined the pursuit. A deputy got
his vehicle in front of the suspect vehicle in an attempt to
slow it down before entering
any farther into Sac City. The
truck drove through Food Pride

SL woman stays upbeat
despite cancer, back
problems, house fire
BY DOLORES CULLEN
When it rains, it pours – then there’s serious illness and a fire. That’s been the trajectory of the life Storm Laker Patti Snyder
over the past several months.
“Every day is a gift…and none of us
know when it might be our last, so I’m going
to continue to live life to its fullest,” wrote
Patti on her Facebook page. That was last
October. She had just come out of surgery
in Omaha to learn that her vaginal cancer –
squamous cell carcinoma – is not only extremely rare, it’s very aggressive and likely
to return.
Then in December back problems
plagued her. Extreme pain led her to the ER
in Sioux City where it was discovered that
she had a ruptured disc and another herniated, requiring immediate surgery or danger of permanent paralysis.
Here’s what she wrote: “The pain has
been brought to a tolerable state and I only
anticipate it will get better with each day…
I’m still kind of shaking my head at what all
happened… But I have set my goal for the
next few days… To control the pain… Do
everything in my power to remain positive… And to poop!”

A Storm Lake woman said
she needed confirmation before she started celebrating her
big lottery win.
Maxine Bagsby, 67, claimed
the 25th of 37 top prizes of
$50,000 available in the Iowa
Lottery’s “Super Crossword” instant-scratch game.
Bagsby said she purchased
her winning ticket Friday at Al’s
Liquor, and scratched off her
ticket later that night. She ended
up scratching off 10 complete
words and with it included the
game’s $50,000 top prize.
“I checked every letter and I
said, ‘Well, it looks like I got it, but
I don’t want to get excited,’”
Bagsby told lottery employees
Monday as she claimed her prize
at the lottery’s Storm Lake office.
Bagsby’s daughter came over
When she was able to walk around her
house in Storm Lake with a walker she
wrote “WOOT WOOT!”
Two days after Christmas she wrote,
“enough pain pills to kill a horse…a mental
health status getting weaker by the moment…and still have excruciating pain…it’s
becoming impossible to maintain a positive attitude.”
A few days later doctors discovered a terrible infection in her disc, an infection so
rare only one out of every 100,000 back surgery patients get it.
A PIC line was inserted and she learned
she would have to give herself three IV infusions a day for six weeks. A home healthCONTINUED ON PAGE 2A

The honor flight fund drive
conducted by The Storm Lake
Times has raised a whopping
$38,904 from Jan. 9 through
Feb. 1. This surpasses the ambitious goal of $35,000 set by
Storm Laker Don Gallagher, the
brains behind the project.
“I thank everybody that participated,” he said Monday.
“This will send a lot more veterans to Washington, D.C.”
Gallagher, 90, convinced
bankers at Citizens First National Bank, Security Trust and
Savings Bank and Central Bank
to each give $7,500 to kick off

Now there’s more than
enough to pay for the 15 local
veterans on the list, others who
haven’t signed up yet and veterans of the Vietnam era who will
eventually be invited to sign up.
It also makes up for a lack of
funds on the part of BV County
for previous flights.
The flight is set up so that

money must come from the

electrical fire started in the
house. “I had just left for two
hours and I got the call,” she
told us. “I said, ‘I hope they get
my Macy out.’”
The smoke was so bad police
couldn’t get in, she explained.
Firemen made a sweep through
the house unable to find the
dog. On their second pass, one
of them lifted up the bedspread
on Patti’s bed. Macy was cowering there and was rescued.
Fire, smoke and water damage to the residence is estimated at $10,000. It has been
determined that the cause of
the fire is electrical in nature.

her angels. “They have held my
hand, been my advocate…and
haven’t left my side. I honestly
do not know where I would be
or what I would do without

Stille snags big prize
with 19-inch catfish
BY DOLORES CULLEN
The second annual Big Fish Ice Fishing Tournament attracted 78 participants and some
good-sized fish, even though it took place on the
eve of a blizzard.
A hearty group of diehards stayed to the bitter
end. They gathered near the campgrounds parking lot at 6 p.m. in the thickly falling snow for the
awards ceremony.
Their big fish were on par with last year’s.
Austin Stille of Alta won the big fish prize package with his 19 1/4” catfish. Note that Josh Jensen
of Newell got a bigger catfish – 21 ½”, but he didn’t pay the extra $5 entry fee for the big fish pot.
Last year’s biggest fish was a 21 7/8” carp. The
biggest walleye last year was 16 15/16.” It was
caught by Jason Parker of Newell, who this year
pulled in the second biggest walleye. Rod Husman’s was tops at 16”.
Most of the fish were caught in front of King’s
Pointe, said organizer Josh Schwartz of Gone
Fish’n bait shop.
Despite a week of above-freezing temperatures, the ice was an average of 16” thick. Vehicles

CAPITOL LETTERS
School funding
BY STATE REPRESENTATIVE
GARY WORTHAN
District 11, R-Storm Lake
This week the primary focus
in the House has been setting
the Supplemental State Aid for
our K-12 for the 2015-16 school
year. Public schools must certify
their budgets in March for the
school year that begins next fall.
Establishing the funding level
as early as possible in the session is necessary so that local
school boards can write their
budgets.
There has been considerable
debate over the last four years
as to the timing of this action by
the Legislature. In the past,
when the state set SSA 18
months in advance, it led to a
serious problem when state
revenues declined and the state
was unable to meet the commitment that had been made.
The 10% across-the-board cut
made late in 2010 because of a
substantial fall in revenue came
in the middle of our public
school’s budget year and, as a
result, many schools were
forced to make some very difficult decisions.
Aside from the timing, the
level of SSA has also been very
controversial. Many school administrators and staff have testified that a 6% increase was
needed in order for schools to
catch up. At the other end of the
spectrum are the administrators who tell us to just get the
level set so that we know what
we have and we will make it
work.
So here is the math from a
budget perspective. Six percent
SSA would result in an increase
in state spending of about $240
million. Add to that another $50
million promised in the education reform package. New state
spending of nearly $300 million
is the outcome. The state has
about $200 million in new revenue available after we fund the
mandatory Medicaid increases
caused by the Affordable Care
Act and reduced reimbursement of Medicaid costs from
the federal government. So the
budget would already be $100
million into the reserve funds
and we have not even considered the rest of the state budget.
The House passed legislation that would set the SSA at
1.25% or approximately $50
million; add the $50 million in
the reform package and the increase totals $100 million. That
represents one half of the new
revenue available. At this level
we are sure that we can meet
our commitment to our public
schools. The bill now goes to the
Senate where the 6% figure has
a lot more traction.
In the short term, the state
has the money to fund a 6% increase — the short term being
the 2015-16 school year. If we
look ahead to the 2016-17
school year, Fiscal Year 2017, the
outlook is not at all good. If we
spend an additional $300 mil-
lion on schools this year that
means that, in addition to dipping into reserves to fund
schools, we will also be using
those funds for the rest of the
budget from Health and
Human Services to prisons and
courts. As a result, the reserve
funds will be nearly exhausted
by the end of this fiscal year. Assuming normal growth in state
revenue in FY17, there will not
be anywhere near enough
funds to cover anticipated increases and the reserves will
have already been spent. This
would be a similar scenario that
led to the across-the-board cuts
that occurred in 2010.
During the course of this debate our commitment to education has been repeatedly
challenged — 1.25% is shortchanging our kids. My response
is this: Over the last five years
we have increased funding to
the K-12 school system in Iowa
by $500 million. K-12 education
is second only to Medicaid in
the rate of increase over the last
five years. The one half billion
dollar increase alone represents
7% of today’s total state budget
and the entire education
budget totals nearly 40% of the
total budget. Education is a priority; there is a limit to everything.
At this time I am not willing
to predict what the Senate will
do with our bill at 1.25%, but I
am sure it will come back looking substantially different. I can
guarantee that the House will
stick by our principles — we will
not dip into reserves to fund the
ongoing costs of our K-12 system. Six percent is an unsustainable number, 1.25% is only
marginally sustainable. We
must maintain a fiscally sound
budget while meeting the
needs of all facets of our state
government. This budget presents a substantial challenge; we
intend to meet that challenge
and move the state forward.
Mental health

District 6, R-Vail
Committee
work
has
begun. Senate committees I
have been assigned to this legislative session are Human Resources, Appropriations, Veterans Affairs as the ranking
member and ranking member
of the Health and Human Service Appropriations Budget subcommittee.
In the HHS budget subcommittee this week, we discussed the proposed closing of
two state mental health institutes in Clarinda and Mount
Pleasant. The original purpose
of the Cherokee, Clarinda, Independence and Mount Pleasant MHIs was to provide a
home for people with mental
illness. These facilities were established between 1861 and
1902. The goal was to provide a

safe environment. In the mid
1900s each facility served up to
1,700 people. In 1963, the Community Mental Health Center
Act was passed to focus on creating outpatient alternatives to
inpatient care. The development and use of psychotropic
drugs had a major impact on
enabling persons to live within
the community. The number of
MHI beds was reduced.
We addressed soaring costs
and low census numbers and
other alternatives for care for
individuals other than at these
centers. In 1991, following the
farm crisis, the MHI program
configuration was altered to its
present day form with adult inpatient psychiatric care at all
four locations; child inpatient
care in Cherokee and Independence;
geropsychiatric
services at Clarinda and substance abuse services at Mount
Pleasant.
There were thorough discussions on these issues and concerns with the governor’s proposal to close these two
facilities. I have received varying
responses from constituents in
my district. The major concern
is a conceived opinion there is a
shortage of beds available. The
DHS reports, due to changes in
treatment, there are many more
outpatient treatment programs
for substance abuse, which can
occur with mental illness. If the
closures occur, the DHS plan
would expand the MHI beds by
30 at Cherokee and Independence. The state’s mental health
budget from General Fund revenues has increased from
$2.499 billion in 2005 to $3.916
billion in 2014.
No bills have been passed
out of this committee at this
time. There have been numerous subcommittee meetings
since the Legislative session
began.
This week I cast my support
for legislation which would
allow Iowans to protect their
loved ones. The bill, also introduced in the Iowa House, provides Iowans with legal protection to Stand Your Ground
when faced with a life-threatening situation. There are 22 Stand
Your Ground states in the U.S.
This is not a partisan issue. This
bill gives Iowans the right to
protect and defend themselves
and their loved ones.

OPINION
E D I T O R I A L S
T
A soft landing
he Iowa Department of Education has sent an unspoken message
to the Laurens-Marathon School District: make plans to merge
with another district such as Pocahontas Area or brace yourself
for years of austerity. The state’s school budget review committee
has ordered L-M to cut $1 million — or 28% — of its budget for next year
after a first round of the appeal process last month. Supt. Jeff Kruse says
he is confident that a work-out plan will be approved if L-M can start partial sharing with Pocahontas for elective high school classes for Chargers.
That might be the case. We suppose that we will find out on the next
appeal to the state March 20.
In either event, approve or disapprove, the state has shoved L-M
onto a course in which it will be attached to Pocahontas for the foreseeable future. The review committee may cut some slack for meaningful
sharing with Pocahontas. We have no doubt that the state will continue
to press L-M to do more than a partial marriage.
The prospects for L-M are fairly clear: School budgets are set on enrollment, and enrollment has been in steady decline for this and other
small, rural districts for generations. Budget guarantees that used to exist
for small, declining districts have been phasing out. The die was set long
ago: Districts with declining enrollment will be forced to merge with their
neighbors.
Newell and Fonda saw it coming. So did Alta and Aurelia, after fits
and starts. Ridge View is the recent creation of Schaller-Crestland and
Galva-Holstein. Albert City-Truesdale is in the midst of renewing its sharing agreement with Sioux Central. It would appear they are all viable enterprises.
It’s lousy to believers in local control that the state can dictate terms
to local school boards. The property taxpayers can vote them out, after
all. However, the bulk of funding comes from the state. School districts
are state creations. We play under those rules. And those rules make it
awfully difficult for an isolated district like L-M to see its way clear to a
brighter future.
Already, the state has put the district on a course toward Pocahontas
from which it will be difficult to retract. Once you start partial-day sharing and lay off L-M faculty from those elective courses, you simply cannot undo that overnight, or even in two or three years. LaurensMarathon is irrevocably set toward an eventual whole-grade sharing
agreement, at least, with Pocahontas.
That might be the soft landing that L-M needs. The district should
not view a partial reprieve, if it comes, as anything more than what it is: a
short-term lifeline that pulls the subsumed to a different vessel not of their
own making, but maybe no worse than the one with the whole in it.
S
Walker’s a big hit
cott Walker had such a good time strutting his stuff before the
Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines last week that he thought
he just might form a presidential exploratory committee. The Republican governor of Wisconsin quickly became the front-runner
among likely caucus-goers, according to the Iowa Poll and others. How
could such a little-known Midwesterner take Iowa by storm?
Walker was born in Iowa. He talks Iowegian. Just like Tim Pawlenty
of Minnesota, but tougher and with a bite. When Walker was making
moves in Madison that drove teachers, public employee unions and Democrats bonkers, our own Gov. Terry Branstad started picking up cues.
That was a sure sign to us that Walker had wings.
He survived a recall election mid-term. He beat the best that the Democrats could put up in what used to be a progressive state. He says that
no governor has been tested like he has and survived — even thrived.
Chris Christie may beg to differ, but he isn’t quite out of the New Jersey
political woods and he would not know that Spring Green is just over the
river from Dubuque.
Iowa has never loved the Bushes. Conservatives out here are still
sore that President George H.W. Bush allowed a tax increase that they
believe led to Bill Clinton’s victory. Mike Huckabee beat George W. Bush
in the Iowa Caucuses. Jeb Bush may be the ultimate Establishment candidate. Scott Walker has one foot in the corporate camp and the other in
the Tea Party wing of the party. Planted firmly enough, which we believe
he is by geographic dint alone, will take him far in New Hampshire.
Walker is not a Bush or Clinton. He is not a worn-out, far-out Huckabee. He is not a narcissist of the order of Ted Cruz. Lindsey Graham,
lawyer that he is, will have a hard time on stage with Walker when he rolls
up his sleeves.
Other governors like Ohio’s John Kasich have yet to assert themselves. Walker may have already filled the vacuum.

Water not even
a mudhen could love
L
ast August some 500,000
residents of greater
Toledo, Ohio, were without drinking water from
the tap for nearly a week because of toxic algae blooms in
Lake Erie. The blooms subsided,
the water was treated and
Toledo braces for another strong
bloom this spring or summer,
Toledo Blade Editorial Page Editor David Kushma told me last
week.
About 70% of the nutrient
load feeding blue-green algae
infesting Lake Erie is attributed
to agricultural production. There
was much hue and cry surrounding the putrid pollution of
the Great Lake. The politicians
talked. The state held conferences. Congressmen lobbied the
EPA and USDA for help.
“There’s been a lot of lip service,” Kushma said. “Virtually
nothing has changed.”
The Blade has been stridently
calling for regulations across
Ohio as other lakes show signs of
premature death.
What it got was a voluntary
nutrient reduction plan for the
Lake Erie Watershed.
Sound familiar?
Depressingly so, Kushma
said.
Toledo is saddled with an antiquated water system that can’t
deal with the pressures thrown
at it. The Des Moines Water
Works is faced with installing a
new nitrogen removal system at
a cost of more than $100 million
because its current system is 25
years old and worn out, according to CEO Bill Stowe.
Ohio and Iowa both have
committed around a dollar per
acre of farm ground, in state and
federal funds, to get ag nutrients
under control.
Meantime, lakes are choking
with pollution.
Kushma points to Grand
Lake St. Mary, near Columbus, a
13,500-acre lake that is silting
into oblivion (it is about five feet
deep now) and also is plagued
by algae blooms that are driving
ART CULLEN
EDITOR’S
NOTEBOOK
off tourists to the state park organized around it.
“That’s really the canary in
the coal mine,” Kushma said.
Sound familiar?
We have roughly 80% of the
Storm Lake Watershed in some
sort of conservation treatment.
Yet despite the majority of farmers’ best efforts, mud continues
to fill Little Storm Lake because
of the careless few. A lot of it can
still reach Big Storm Lake during
heavy spring and fall rains.
Other lakes that do not benefit from dredging and watershed protection like Storm Lake
are going the way of the elk and
buffalo. Think Lizard, Pickerel,
Rush, Viking and Silver lakes in
northwest Iowa. Most of them
are being converted into
marshes to filter ag runoff, since
they have become silted in beyond hope.
The Ohio Farm Bureau has
led the charge against any sort of
regulated protection for Lake
Erie — or Lake St. Mary, for that
matter. Just like Iowa, where
Farm Bureau would love to duke
it out with the Des Moines Water
Works in a courtroom to make
certain that drainage districts are
in no way regulated or impinged
from farming ditch to ditch.
Nobody is suing anyone in
Ohio yet. Toledo is the most directly aggrieved by slob farming
— Ohio has a huge problem
with operators applying manure
to frozen ground, which is but
one small component of the
problem. But Toledo is in no position to sue the state or federal
government when it is begging
for money. “Toledo has its hands
full just trying to keep its water
system running,” Kushma said.
This is not an issue peculiar
to Iowa. The Des Moines Water
Works is not the only municipal
water utility short on funds and
long on challenges posed directly by an agricultural industry
that knows better. The Farm Bureau even has Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack running scared,
as he pimped the water works
for helping contribute to nitrogen overload in a rare specious
and ingratiating remark to the
insurance company/ag advocacy group by the former governor.
Iowa probably is ahead of
Ohio in at least trying to seed a
watershed-based approach to
row-crop agriculture. We are
making strides, however small.
Gov. Branstad proposed only $5
million more in his next budget
for the voluntary water quality
initiative. Meantime, soil and
water conservation offices operate on skeleton staffs for lack of
state funding. We saw the buffer
strips ripped out along Powell
Creek after corn went on its great
run up seven years ago. We have
seen nary a blade of grass up to
Cedar Creek in BV and Pocahontas counties. We have seen
soybean stubble on the banks of
Pickerel Lake — the banks. And
we have seen the corn stalks
washing ashore at Scout Park on
Storm Lake.
Someone had to come
around with a big hammer while
we lolly-gag.
We in Northwest Iowa may
be smug about our stewardship.
The Des Moines Water Works
has more people cheering for it,
believe it or not, all the way to
Toledo, Ohio. The folks out there
hope that Iowa will perhaps set
some sort of standard that could
be applied across state lines. We
can do better by example, and
we had darn well get cracking
before a judge tells us how to do
it and when.
Boat ride
L
ast summer some of the
aides asked Jean and me
if we wanted to go for a
boat ride. I said no and
Jean said yes. It did give me a
reason to write about boats.
Our grandson Tom is serving
in the US Navy. He is aboard a
large cruiser. Right now he is
not at sea but has been over
many seas during his four years
of service.
My experience with boats
has been mostly with rowboats
or small propeller boats. My
most exciting experience was
when I had just graduated from
high school and was waiting to
leave for the army. I was invited
to go to Lake Bemidji in Minnesota with five other guys who
were also waiting to serve in the
military. The fishing was poor to
say the least but one day I caught
a small perch and while reeling
it in a huge northern came like
an alligator and grabbed the
perch. I started reeling it in and
it came flying out of the water.
My rod broke and so did the fish
line. The northern fell into the
boat. A kid with me managed to
DON BEHM
CRACKER
BARREL
get a hold on it but we didn’t
have a stringer. We decided to
cut the anchor rope and use it as
a stringer. We headed for shore.
When we got there, we pulled
the rope up. The northern was
gone. It had bitten the rope in
two and had gotten away. My
guess is that it weighed about 25
pounds. In the five days we
stayed at the lake we caught one
other fish worth eating. It was a
bass. It really tasted delicious as
we had been living on minced
ham and pork and beans. A few
weeks later, we were all leaving
for the service.
My boat rides in the army
were not much. While at Fort
Lewis, Wash., we had a mock DDay exercise. We were to land
on Catalina Island. The worst
part of it was getting into the
landing boats from the huge
transport. Seeing this in movies
makes it look easy. I fell six feet
getting into the landing craft.
One soldier fell and ended up
with a broken leg. Then we had
to wade in deep water while
holding our rifles over our
heads. I never heard if they
thought the landing was a success. I’ll always be thankful it
was an exercise and not the real
thing like so many of the soldiers went through.
President John F. Kennedy
was commander of a PT boat in
WWII. Some Marines were
trapped on an island and he
went to their rescue. He managed to get them off the island
and to safety. His boat was later
cut in two by a Japanese submarine. He and his men had to
swim to safety with JFK towing
an injured sailor. He was
awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross for his gallantry.

Agreement
on the weather
BY STATE REPRESENTATIVE
DAN A. HUSEMAN
District 3, R-Aurelia
In an atmosphere where
there are always differences of
opinions, everyone here seems
to agree that the nice weather is
most welcome and much appreciated. The drive from home
to Des Moines and then back
home again every week can
sometimes be strenuous, but
the last few trips have been
quite enjoyable. Also, when the
furnace is mostly idle, who can
complain. But watching the
current forecasts, it is obvious
we are about to return to a more
normal winter weather pattern.
Our golf clubs are tucked safely
away in the garage, so the report
in today’s paper that at least
three Des Moines golf courses
were open for play brought
mixed feelings. January…playing golf … sounds nice, but we
all know we have plenty of winter weather ahead of us.
When lawmakers returned
to Des Moines on Monday, we
learned that Governor Terry
Branstad was rushed to a local
hospital after becoming “wobbly” at a ribbon cutting ceremony. He was treated for the flu
and dehydration and went
home Tuesday morning. The
Governor is supposed to stay
home for the rest of the week in
order to rest. I took some constituents down to the Governor’s office Wednesday afternoon for a tour and asked some
staff members how he was
doing. They said he was fine,
but they were trying to figure
out how they were going to
keep him from coming back to
work. The Governor maintains
an ambitious schedule and he
thrives on being out and about,
visiting with the people of Iowa.
Far be it for me to lecture the
Governor but please sir, please
stay home and get back to
strength.
Tuesday night, the House
passed the first bill of the session. The Governor’s proposal
for funding K-12 schools was
approved on a party-line vote.
It is a modest increase and the
bill now goes to the Senate for
consideration. Some believe we
are not providing enough
money for schools. This debate
is far from over, as this is only
the first leg of this bill’s journey.
This is the time of the session when lawmakers spend
most of their time in committee
meetings and meeting with
constituents who have come to
Des Moines. For example,
Wednesday was “Transportation Day on the Hill” and I had
the opportunity to visit with a
lot of people who were interested in road funding. I also visited with people from home
who were representing the pork
producers, corn growers, soybean farmers, optometrists,
community colleges, YMCAs,
snowmobilers and a host of
other concerned citizens. I
know I have probably failed to
list some others, but I just want
you to know that having you
come here to talk to me is very
enjoyable, and when you come
to the Capitol to advocate for
something, well, that is what
this process is all about.
In the budget subcommittee
I chair, we heard presentations
from the Department Transportation and the Department
of Defense. These were very informative meetings.
As we progress through this
session I will try to keep you updated as to what is happening
in various committees and on
the House floor. Certainly I
would invite you to come to the
Capitol to share your views with
me. I always welcome your emails, calls, letters and personal
contacts.
Noted in passing: “Mr. Cub”
Ernie Banks. During his 19-year
career, Ernie hit 512 home runs,
was an eleven time All-Star and
was inducted into the Hall of
Fame in 1977. In all of those
years, the Cubs only finished
above .500 six times, yet Ernie
always kept his sense of humor
and displayed a big smile when
he would say, “It’s a great day for
baseball, let’s play two.”
You may reach me at the
Capitol during the week by
phoning me at 515-281-3221, or
at home on weekends at 712434-5880. You may write me at
the State Capitol, Des Moines,

he TeamMates
Mentoring Program of Storm
Lake has a powerful impact on both mentors
and mentees,” commented
TeamMates board president
Deb De Haan. “We’re seeing
wonderful things happen to
these students. Statistics from
last year showed that mentored
students showed a 58% improvement in their academic
performance, disciplinary referrals were reduced by 91% and
there were 77% fewer unexcused absences.”
TeamMates was founded by
former University of Nebraska
football coach Dr. Tom Osborne
and his wife Nancy to positively
impact the world by inspiring
youth to reach their full potential. Mentors meet with their
mentees for an hour a week.
“We’ve got some of the best
mentors in the whole world, including a lot of BVU students
who help as mentors; we really
appreciate them,” Deb noted.
“But they graduate in four years
so we really need more community members to step up to
the plate and help as mentors.
This is a fantastic connection
between the Storm Lake school
system, BVU and our community, plus it’s a very rewarding
program.”
For more information, go to
the website www.teammates.com
where you can fill out the application online. Or you can contact Angie Woodford, Storm
Lake TeamMates program coordinator, at 732-8080.
“Each mentor is screened
and goes through a background
check,“ Angie explained. “Next
there is a training and they get
interviewed and matched. Our
goal is to have them meet once
a week or twenty-four times in
the school year at the school.
“Students come to us and
ask for mentors,” she added.
“Even though their parents are
very supportive, they want the
one-on-one contact in another
relationship.”
“Angie’s the heart and soul of
this program,” Deb commented. “She really cares about
these kids.”
Angie and Deb told us about
testimonials from students and
parents.
“One mother said that her
son didn’t have a positive male
figure in his life,” they mentioned. “His mentor was a positive role model and even attended her son’s extra-curricular activities, which he loved!
One graduating senior wrote
that she was making poor
choices until meeting her mentor. She said that someday she
hopes to make a difference in
the life of a kid, also.”
Deb also said that the TeamMates board is starting to give
scholarships.
“We’re really proud that
we’ve started that,” she remarked.
Several TeamMates board
members chose these recipes to
share with The Times’ readers.

Land O’ Lakes
and Alceco
award grants
to Albert City
organizations
Two Albert City organizations were recently awarded
matching grants from the Land
O’ Lakes Foundation and Alceco, a farmer-owned cooperative.
The Albert City Public Library was awarded a grant for
$1,000, which will be used for
programs and books for all ages
to supplement the current fiscal
year. Some of the funding may
be used to bring in speakers for
this summer’s library programs,
said Mary Johnson, director of
the library.
Community Helping Hands
was also awarded a grant for
$3,000, which will be used to
help put a new roof on the
building, which is in need of repair. Community Helping
Hands is a help-based organization which gives food, clothing and support to Albert City
and the surrounding areas.
Both grants were presented
by Alceco board president Jim
Franzmeier.
“Alceco strongly believes in
supporting communities where
our members live and work,”
Franzmeier said. “We are proud
to partner with the Land O’
Lakes Foundation to provide
these grants.”
The Land O’ Lakes Foundation program matches dollarfor-dollar the cash donation of
member cooperatives. Albert

There is news of two new
medicines now available for
Parkinson’s patients – Rytary
and Duopa. Rytary is an extended release formulation of
carbidopa/levodopa. This may
address one of the most significant unmet needs, which is to
reduce the amount of time during the day when symptoms are
not adequately controlled.
Duopa is an enteral suspension
for the treatment of motor fluctuations for people with advanced Parkinson Disease. It is
administrated using a small,
portable infusion pump.

Farmland transition topic of BVU one-woman play P.E.O. SCHOLARSHIP
Who’s going to get the farm?
And what are they going to do
with it? Will your future plans for
your land create harmony or
strife for your family? “Map of
My Kingdom,” a play commissioned by Practical Farmers of
Iowa and written by Iowa’s Poet
Laureate Mary Swander, tackles
the critical issue of land transition. Buena Vista University’s
Academic and Cultural Event
Series will sponsor the performance on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7
p.m. at Anderson Auditorium.
There will be a reception/
talkback post performance discussion with Teresa Opheim executive director of Practical
Farmers.
The event is free and open to
the public.
Swander interviewed dozens
of farm families, bankers and
other stakeholders across the
state before weaving their stories into a one-woman show.
It’s told from the perspective of
a lawyer, Angela Martin, who
mediates land disputes.
“Land is the thread that
binds all of the stories together,”
says Opheim, “Map of My Kingdom will resonate with those
who have been through or are
working through challenging
land transfer issues that include
division of the land among siblings, to selling out to a neighbor, to attempts to preserve the
land's integrity against urban
sprawl.”
Fifty-six percent of Iowa
farmland is owned by people
over the age of 65, according to

Chicago-based actor Cora Vander Broek-Brumlow is the
daughter of Storm Laker Di Daniels.
a report by retired Iowa State
University economist Mike
Duffy, “Farmland Ownership
and Tenure Report in Iowa
2012.” Thirty percent of Iowa
farmland is owned by those
more than 75 years old.
Dan Wilson, president of
Practical Farmers and a member of the group’s Farm Transfer
Committee, says, “The play is a
good way at getting at a tremendous farmland transition that is
about to take place in Iowa, as
elderly landlords begin to pass
on. Many farmers will lose
farmland – their source of livelihood – during this transition,
unless we tackle these issues.”
Matt Foss, formerly a colleague of Swander’s at Iowa
State University, directed Map
of My Kingdom prior to taking a
new job at the University of
Idaho. Cora Vander Broek
Brumlow (playing Angela Martin) has received dozens of accolades for her acting in
Chicago and also played the

Meeting Place in Galva on Monday, April 6 at 7 p.m. to get gardeners ready for Spring. Join
other plant lovers for a onehour educational program as
Jane presents “Planting for
Perennial Perfection.”
Each spring, gardeners are
confronted with more perennial varieties than they possibly
have room for in their flower
beds. This program highlights
the Prairie Pedlar’s ten-mostwanted list, discusses plant selections for continuous blooming succession, and mixes in
some charming plant lore that
will personalize some of the
best plants available for Iowa.
Participants will also enjoy a
sneak peek of many of the new
perennial and annual flowers
that will be offered at Prairie
Pedlar this spring. Bring your
list of plant questions to this interactive class.
The Prairie Pedlar gardens
have been featured in numerous books, magazines, and
newspapers including the
Iowan in 1988 and the premier
issue of Country Living Gardener in 1993. For six years, the
magazine included Jane's column, “Kindergarden,” which
linked children with charming
garden activities. As a member
of the Garden Writers Association of America and previous
association with the International Herb Association, Jane
has lectured extensively across
the United States and in
Canada.

Surprise your family with a special occasion videotape. Gather up family photos, slides or videotapes
to surprise your loved one with a Professional Videotape complete with music, titles, special effects etc.
If it is for a Wedding Anniversary take photos from your parent’s wedding album, or family photos or
slides of your parents through the years. Some people include video clips of their friends wishing them
well on the final video. You are the director, include anything you want. This videotape will be a wonderful keepsake for your parents and you for years to come.
When your spouse celebrates one of their milestone 40th, 50th, etc birthday’s, surprise them with a
videotape of your lives together for a lasting memory. This videotape will be a collection of family memories such as photos, slides or videoclips from your years together. I will follow any recipe that you have
for this tape. It always proves to be a hit for any milestone birthday celebration.
Have you ever thought to put pictures from your wedding album on videotape? It is a wonderful way
to celebrate you and your spouse’s anniversary.
HOME MOVIE FILM TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD
You probably haven’t seen your home family movies shot years ago due to the fact that your projector
hasn’t worked for the last 10 years. Meanwhile the priceless movies gather dust and grow brittle as the
years pass. Also the kids have grown and each child wants a copy of the family home movies.
Bring the home movie film (8mm, Super 8mm or 16mm) to me and I can transfer all of the movies to
videotape or DVD so all the children can have their own copy. Since I retain all the original footage on master digital videotape, everyone’s copy will look as good as the original. The final family videotape or DVD
has a family title and music to add to your enjoyment.
SLIDES TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD
Bring your slides to me and I will transfer them to videotape in the order that you desire. You determine how long you want each slide to appear on the final videotape. Instead of dragging out the old
slide projector and setting up the movie screen. Simply pop the final videotape into your VCR and
watch your slide show any time you want to. If you want a particular slide on longer, just hit the pause
control on your remote control. I can make as many copies as you want for all members of the family to
enjoy.
The videotape comes complete with whatever title you wish and music. The slides are dissolved
from one to another - that means that one slide fades while the other slide comes into view - which
gives your videotape a truly professional look.
HAVE YOUR HOME VIDEOTAPES TRANSFERRED TO DVD’S
I can transfer all types of videotapes, including VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, 8mm, Mini DV, and Digital 8mm
videotapes to DVD. Your home videotape’s quality deteriorates over time. To preserve your home videos
forever have me transfer them to DVD.
CREATION & PRODUCTION OF DEMONSTRATION VIDEOTAPES OR DVD’S
If you have a business and are interested in producing training films for your employees or have a product that you would like to market all over the world, come in and talk to me.
VIDEOTAPE OR DVD DUPLICATION FROM YOUR ORIGINAL MASTER
If you want to have large quantities of videotapes made from a single source, contact me. We can duplicate your videotape, providing 100’s of copies that will arrive both boxed and labeled for your convenience.
You may drop off your project and pickup at Bedel’s Pharmacy.
If any question on your project, phone Tony Bedel at 712-732-2771.

last Saturday at Siebens Fieldhouse.
Lexi Fisher tied the score at
26-26 just before the halftime

35-35 nearly 6 minutes into the
second half, BVU went on a key
11-2 run over the next 5 minutes to take a 46-37 lead.
Becca Pennington later
made a big 3-point basket to
give the Beavers a 52-41 cushion with less than 7 minutes left
and the Beavers were able to
maintain that advantage down
the stretch.

but Siouxland Christian came
back to take a 27-26 lead at halftime. The Raptors regained
control and held a 41-31 lead
going into the fourth period.
“Siouxland Christian is a
much-improved team from our
first game with them and they
gave us a heck of a battle,” Ridge
View coach Ken Slater said.
“The final score does not reflect
how close the game was as we
were down at half, 27-26.
“We had a strong third quarter and had a 10-point cushion
going into fourth quarter,”
Slater added. “They got back
within three points with a couple of minutes left to go. We
were able to get some free
throws and easy baskets when
they started gambling to get
steals. At that point we were
able to put the game away. We
were fortunate to walk away
with the win. We will take it and
we look forward to having the
chance to improve on our play.”

“It was a couple of different
stretches throughout the game
that did us in,” Sioux Central
coach Stephen Tjaden said.
“After getting off to a poor start,
we did a great job of fighting
back and cutting the deficit to
seven at the half. However, our
inability to get stops in the third
quarter is what made the difference. We got great shots. We just
need to cut down on the
turnovers.”

did not commit a turnover. He
now has 99 assists for the season and became just the third
player in school history to reach
300 in a career. He is one assist
shy of becoming just the 15th
player in single-season history
to reach 100.
Nick Wuebker tallied eight
points and also grabbed seven
rebounds.
As a team, the Beavers shot
51 percent overall from the field
(10-of-20 from 3-point) despite
going just 6-of-12 at the free
throw line.
Central built an early 13-8
lead before the Beavers took
control for good with a 12-0 run
to take a 20-13 lead midway
throught the half. Grady Gallagher hit a 3-pointer and Wuebker followed with a layup to
give BVU a 25-15 lead with 8:42
left in the opening half.
After the Dutch scored five
straight points, BVU answered
with a 6-0 run to make it 31-20,
and would later take a 14-point
lead before a 3-pointer by Central just before the half made it a
41-30 game at the break.
Drey made a 3-point shot
and followed up with a putback
that extended the BVU lead to
55-38 with 6 minutes gone by in
the second half. The lead later
grew to as much as 21 with 8
minutes left. Central was never
able to get any closer than 14
until the final two points of the
game.
The win completes the season sweep of the Dutch, who
fall to 10-9 overall (3-5 IIAC).
Colby Taylor finished with a
game-high 20 points for Central, which shot 43 percent from
the field.
“It was one of our better all
around games this year,” Buena
Vista coach Brian Van Haaften
said. “Offensively, we shared the
basketball really well and we
had good production from a lot
of different people.
“Defensively, we were very
sharp,” Van Haaften added.
“Central is one of the top offenses in the league and we did
a great job of guarding the
3-point line, holding them to
4-for-21 from the arc. We look
forward to our next game.”
Buena Vista, now 14-5 overall (7-1 IIAC), kept pace with
Coe for the league lead. The

drought too
much for Storm
Lake to overcome
Spencer bolted out to a 17-0
lead after the first quarter and
the Tigers never looked back as
they went on to defeat Storm
Lake 46-19 in a Lakes Conference game last Friday night at
Spencer.
The Tigers held a 28-6 lead at
halftime. It was 35-9 going into
the fourth period.
Naomi Castillo scored seven
points to lead the Tornadoes.
Madison Gaffney added five,
while Nailea Valdivia and Nyajouk Lam each tallied three. Briana Soto scored one point for
the Tornadoes.
Gaffney led the team in rebounding with seven. Lam had
five and Castillo four. Castillo
and Gaffney each had two
steals.
Storm Lake was 6 of 37 from
the field for 16 percent.
“For as sluggish as we played
offensively, we hung with it all
night and came out with some
positives,” Storm Lake coach
Mel Fisher said. “We saw firsthand the difference in going
hard and not going hard. Each
time we gave maximum effort
something positive happened.
When we didn’t, the positive
things didn’t happen. Our unlucky streak continued as Briana Soto went down hard in the
fourth quarter and had to be
helped off the floor and went
home with crutches. We are
waiting to hear on her prognosis. Hopefully by next week we
will have her and Rylee (James)
back.”

Mustangs take battle

Newell-Fonda, ranked No. 7
in Class 1A, used a big third
quarter before holding off a late
charge by South Central Calhoun, ranked fourth in Class 2A,
to win a crucial Twin Lakes
Conference game 56-54 last Friday night in Newell.
The Mustangs, now 7-1 in
the league and 14-3 overall,
trailed 15-11 after the first quarter. Newell-Fonda was down
29-22 at halftime, but outscored
the Titans 27-15 in the third
quarter to take a 49-44 lead into
the fourth period.
“It was a crazy game,”
Newell-Fonda coach Dick
Jungers said. “In a tournament
atmosphere with the conference race on the line, you had
two teams who really wanted to
win the game. South Central got
out to a big lead. They were up
12 with 3 minutes to go in the
first half and we went on a 5-0
run to end the half to close it to
29-22. It was a tight game the
rest of the way.”
Brianna Wells led NewellFonda with 24 points, including
five 3-pointers. Maddi Morenz
added 10 points, while Jordan
Wilken and Morgan Magnussen each tallied five.
Erin Gerke and Mallory Sievers scored four points each.
Abby Smith and Hailey Falline
each had two.
Wells led the team in rebounding with eight. Wilken
and Morenz each added six.
Morenz handed out four assists,
while Gerke and Wells each had
three. Gerke also charted two
steals.
Newell-Fonda made 17 of 48
field goals for 35 percent, including 7 of 14 from 3-point
range.
“The kids played with extreme intensity and were were
able to find Brianna Wells, who
caught fire and made five
3-pointers,” Jungers said.
“Down the stretch, both teams
made some great plays. Abby
Smith hit two clutch free throws
with 50 seconds left after we
forced a turnover. Jordan
Wilken then converted a free
throw to give us a two-point
lead with 15 seconds left and
that was the final.”

No. 2 Pocahontas Area/L-M proves to be too much for Storm Lake
Pocahontas Area/LaurensMarathon, ranked second in

30-11 in the first quarter before
going on a 28-0 run in the second quarter and the Indians
went on to defeat the Tornadoes
75-31 in a non- conference
game last Thursday at Pocahontas.
The Indians led 58-11 at

Storm Lake made 11 of 39
field goals for 28 percent.
“A rough second quarter
made the score look a lot worse
than what it really was,” Storm
Lake coach Mel Fisher said. “We
did a lot of nice things against a
very good team. Playing without Dezirae (Reyes) and Rylee
(James) forced some of our
younger guards in to the spotlight and I thought they did a
nice job of handling the press
and the ball ... both Briana and
Nailea.
“Madison had another good
night,” Fisher added. “She never
seems to get the foul calls, but
did a nice job of pushing
through that and continuing to
battle underneath. I was proud
of the girls’ effort. Pocahontas is
a very good team. They should
make a long run come postseason play.”

Slow start hurts Sioux Central in loss to East Sac County
Nicole Hamilton finished
with 11 points, 11 rebounds and
two steals, but it wasn’t enough
as East Sac County defeated
Sioux Central 50-27 in a Twin

added four. Clausen netted two
assists and Scharn three steals.
Sioux Central made 10 of 44
field goals for 23 percent.
“We came out pretty flat and
got behind early,” Sioux Central
coach Alan Vasher said.
“Throughout the game we
worked hard, but it felt like we
just settled for certain shots.
East Sac did a great job of forcing us out of our comfort zone
and we didn’t shoot the ball
well. We need to do a better job
of rebounding at our defensive
end, and making shots when
given the chances.
“The girls played hard and
shared the ball well,” Vasher
added. “We just need to make
shots. That alone will take a ton
of pressure off of our defense.
Defensively, I thought the girls
stepped it up and I was pleased
with the way we played our
man-to-man. We are making
huge strides on the defensive
end of the floor.”

it wasn’t enough as Alta-Aurelia
fell short of an upset of Twin

Manson Northwest Webster
49-45 last Friday night at Alta.

Cougars heading into the fourth
period of play.
Erin Lockin scored nine
points for the Warriors, now
4-5 in the league and 8-10 overall. Izzy Hinkeldey added eight.

Ahnemann and Lockin each
grabbed eight rebounds. Peterson added five. Snyder tallied

Alta-Aurelia made 14 of 49
field goals in the game for 29
percent.
“Defensively, I thought we
played a very good game,” AltaAurelia coach Brian Christiansen said. “We were
definitely working as a team.
One of our goals going into the
game was to limit their secondchance opportunities, and we
accomplished that. Erin Locking and Jacee Ahnemann did a
fantastic job on the boards.
“Offensively, Micah Barnes
and Lily Peterson both had a
great night from the floor despite being in foul trouble late
in the game,” Christiansen
added. “Both players showed a
great basketball IQ when playing with those fouls.”
Lawton-Bronson outscored
Ridge View 33-17 in the first half
and the Eagles were never
threatened after that as they
went on to beat the Raptors
66-36 in the first round of the
Western Valley Conference
Tournament last Friday.
Lawton-Bronson held leads
of 17-8 after the first quarter,
33-17 at halftime and 52-26

five. Lamp handed out three assists and Taylor came up with
three steals.
Ridge View was 12 of 36 from
the field for 33 percent and 12 of
22 from the free throw line.
“We didn’t control possessions when we needed to and
had a problem taking care of
the basketball,” Ridge View
coach Jessica Christensen said.
“We never got into much of a
flow and were lacking rhythm
through much of the game. We
played timid and let the mental
part of the game slow us down.
“On a positive note, I am
proud of our post players and
how they have really stepped it
up for us during this second half
of the season,” Christensen
added. “They are showing some
great leadership. We need to get
everyone back on track as we
head to the second round of the
conference tourney and then
into the postseason.”

“We had a pretty solid performance and we did a good
job,” Storm Lake coach Ben
Seaman said. “When you place
13 out of your 14 guys on the

SECTIONAL PAIRINGS
Lakes Conference meet, I think
that says a lot about the depth
of our team and our overall
team strength. We finished third
as a team, which is pretty good
but not quite where we want to
be. We were in second until the
very last match of the night, but
we still don’t want to be there.
We want to win, bring home
trophies, and do that whole
thing. That’s the goal and the
boys are working toward that.
“We have had a good year so
far with some really high points
and some not-so-high points,”
Seaman added. “As a program,
we are moving in the right direction. I was happy with our

BVU’s Drey named Athlete of the Week
Storm Lake’s Drexler John headlocks Cherokee’s Drake Bechtel in first-round action at 132 pounds during last Friday’s

For the first time in his career, Buena Vista sophomore
forward Kennedy Drey has
been named the Iowa Conference Male Athlete of the Week
for the period ending Feb. 1.
Drey averaged 17 points
and 8.5 rebounds during wins
last week over Luther and Central. Against the Norse, the former St. Mary’s standout
matched a career-high with 19
points and grabbed 13 rebounds for his sixth doubledouble of the year. He finished
the game shooting 8-of-13
from the field and made two
critical free throws in the closing minute, which helped cut
BVU’s deficit to one. He then
grabbed a defensive rebound
as time expired, which preserved the one-point victory.
Drey scored 13 of his 15
points in the second half as
BVU opened up a 21-point second half lead against Central.
He also grabbed four rebounds
while handing out a pair of assists and blocking one shot.
Drey, who is the second
player to earn recognition for
BVU this season, is the only
player on the roster to have
scored in double figures in all
19 games this season.
Through eight conference
games, he is tied for the league
in rebounding (11.4 rpg.) and is
one of only two players in the
IIAC to currently average a
double-double.

Conference game on Monday.
“It was a good overall win,”
Alta-Aurelia coach Chris Abaray
said. “We went into the half
knotted up at 29. The challenge
to our group was to put together
a defensive second half. They
did just that, holding West
Bend-Mallard to 19 second-half
points. We know this is the time
of the year that you have to
shore things up to go on a run.
We know we are capable of
more and it all starts defensively. We got really good production out of two of our top
guys. Our role players all produced. Josh McCormick saw a
little bit of action as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. We are easing him back so
he can be strong for a postsea-

“I thought the difference in
the first and second half was our
ability to dictate the pace,”
Abaray added. “West BendMallard did a good job of slowing us up in the first half and
made it into a real halfcourt
grind. We committed to the run
in the second half and it
showed.”
led the Warriors with 17 points.
“We played a great second
half, only allowing seven points
the entire half,” Alta-Aurelia
coach Brian Christiansen said.
“Our main focus was to work
hard on the defensive end and I

COLLEGE TRACK & FIELD
Men have best performance, women place fourth in BVU Invitational
The Buena Vista men’s track
and field team may have had its
best performance of the season
as the Beavers totaled 66 points
and had a number of high finishes while hosting the annual
BVU Invite last Saturday.
Nolan Sampson took the individual title in the high jump to
help highlight the day for the
Beavers with his mark of 6 feet,
7 inches. Seth Woodson was
runner-up in the 600 meter run,
but set a school record in the
process with a time of 1 minute,
21.75 seconds. He broke his
own mark of 1:21.90 set in 2013.
Doug Bohaty was the champion in the 60 meter hurdles
while reaching the finish line in
8.51 seconds. Justin Sacker was
fifth in the event in 9.08 seconds.
The 4x400 relay team placed
fifth in what was a tight race for
the top spot. The Beavers
posted a time of 3:29.06, which
was 7 seconds off the winning
pace but only 3 seconds back of
fourth.
Garrett Rohlk took third in
the weight throw with a heave
of 44-4. Kyle Wessling took the
heptathlon with 4,107 points
and set a handful of personal
bests in the process.
Northwestern captured the
team title with 114 points. The
Beavers will look to build off
their success when it remains at
home this Saturday for the annual Dennis Young Classic.
THE WOMEN’S team scored
91 points and placed fourth
overall.
BVU had three individuals
place in the top five of the 60
meters, led by Casey James’
third-place finish in 8.13 seconds. Laura Eberly (8.253) and
Katie Larsen (8.255) followed in
fourth and fifth, respectively.
Eberly won the 200 meters in
26.95 seconds with James
(26.97) and Larsen (27.88) going
second and fourth.
Madison Spear placed
fourth in the 60 meter hurdles
with a time of 9.80 seconds.
Emily Mathews qualified with
the second-fastest time, but was
the victim of a false start in the
finals.
BVU also fared well in the
field events with Maddie Bardole taking fourth in the high
jump (4-9). Mathews added another fourth place finish for the
team in the long jump with a
season-long leap of 16-4. Eberly
was close behind in seventh in
15-7.
Molly Hutchins was fourth
in the shot put 38-3 and second
in the weight throw in 45-9.
Cristyn Eischeid was followed in
fourth during the weight throw
in 42-11.
BVU was just 11 points behind Morningside for third
place in the nine-team field.
Northwestern took the team
title with 147 points.

HAS YOUR CORN FARM
LOST MONEY?
Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO
seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S.
corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports,
the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers
across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.
We represent individual farmers.
Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class
action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue
meeting with farmers with respect to each farmer’s individual Syngenta claim.
