School Board appoints Ostermann to open seat
Mark Ostermann of Buffalo Center
is the newest addition to the North
Iowa School Board, after the Board
appointed him last week to fill the
seat recently vacated by Julie Balvance. Ostermann previously served
on the board for six years in the late
90’s and early 2000’s.
Ostermann is a lifelong resident of
Buffalo Center, where he farms. He
graduated from Buffalo Center High
School in 1977, and his two children
are graduates of North Iowa. His wife,
Kim, works at North Iowa as a Technology Integrationist. Ostermann also
coached basketball at North Iowa
High School for 15 years.
Ostermann says he has a concerted interest in keeping things running
well at the school, and he feels up to
the challenge of serving on the board
once again. With the departure of an
experienced board member, he says
the board wanted to bring in someone
else with experience. As an appointee, Ostermann says he will be up
for election at the next school board
meeting this September.
It’s a busy time for the board, and
Ostermann said they’ll have meetings
this Monday and Thursday regarding
proposals for the sale of the Thompson school building. He also points
out that enrollment is growing at the
school, and the district is looking to
hire a new elementary teacher next
year due to the larger classes.
Ostermann’s son, Jeff, recently
moved back to the community and
works at Ernie Williams, while Jeff’s
wife, Megan, works at Central States
Agency. Ostermann’s daughter, Lyndsay, is a kindergarten teacher in Milford, and her husband, Adam Gisch
works for MaxYield Cooperative.

The House debates several important bills
Chorus Frogs
As spring arrives, we all take joy in
hearing certain sounds of the season,
such as the song of a cardinal or the
singing of the first robins. But another
sound that is also a sign of spring is the
call of the chorus frog. Although tiny,
these little frogs can be quite noisy,
and their call is unmistakable.
The reason why these diminutive
frogs are often associated with spring
is because they usually begin calling
as soon as the snow melts. They reproduce in any standing water, including
marshes, ponds, and flooded fields and
ditches. So, when the snow melts, and
there is an abundance of standing water, they begin calling for a mate.
Now, you may be saying that you’ve
never heard a chorus frog before. But,
they are one of the most commonly
heard frogs in Iowa; so you probably
have heard them, but never knew what
it was that you were hearing. Actually,
the chorus frog’s call is quite distinctive; it sounds like someone running
their finger down the teeth of a comb.
And, of course, it’s usually heard in
and around wet areas. Most likely,
though, people probably assume that
Kossuth farmers’
market meeting
March 28
A meeting for potential vendors at
the Kossuth County Farmers’ market
will be held on March 28 at 9 a.m. in
Room D of the Algona Public Library.
The farmers’ market is held in Algona on the corner of Dodge and Nebraska Streets on the Carnegie Lawn. The
market will open on Saturday, May 23
and run until October 17. Hours of the
Saturday market will be 9 to 11 a.m.
The Wednesday market will open July
1 and run until September 30, with
hours of 3 to 5 p.m.
The meeting for vendors will focus on rules and regulations for the
market, with time for questions and
discussion as needed. All potential
vendors are invited and encouraged
to attend. Both vendors and shoppers
can watch the Kossuth County Farmers’ Market Facebook page for more
updates and reminders as the market
season approaches.
The farmers’ market typically features fresh produce, flowers, baked
goods, meat and craft items. Anyone
interested in being a vendor may contact Joanne Roepke Bode at [email protected] or 515-295-6060
for more information.
Welcome to
Your Outdoors
By Lisa Ralls, Winnebago County Naturalist
what they’re hearing is some sort of
insect, instead of a frog.
Another reason why many people
might not associate the “comb” call
with a frog is because chorus frogs
are much more often heard than seen.
These noisy little amphibians are rarely more than 1.5 inches long, so are
very hard to spot. In addition, once
breeding is complete, they move to the
surrounding grasslands or woodlands
and remain very inconspicuous under
grasses and leaves where they feed
on small invertebrates such as insects
and spiders. They are also more active
at night which, of course, also makes
them harder to spot.
In the winter, chorus frogs hibernate
in sheltered areas near their spring
wetlands. These locations may be under rocks or logs, or in underground
burrows. Interestingly, these tiny frogs
are one of several species of amphibians that literally freeze during the win-
ter months. They are able to survive
this ingeniously, by storing glycogen
in their livers, which is then converted
into glucose when the weather cools
down in the fall. This conversion provides the frogs with an “anti-freeze,”
which prevents ice from forming in
the frogs’ vital organs, despite the fact
that almost half of their total body water freezes. And yes, during the winter,
their heartbeat, blood flow, and breathing all stop…Until, that is, spring,
when they once again “thaw” out and
wake up!
So, this spring, listen for the chorus
frogs as they herald in the warmer
weather and begin their quest for a
mate. And, when you do hear them,
think about what you’re listening to.
That sound is coming from a tiny little
amphibian that is little more than an
inch long and not that long ago was
literally frozen. Spring can be pretty
wondrous!
The View from Here
by Dennis Guth
Iowa State Senator
District 4
[email protected] • 641-430-0424
Debate filled much of the week,
with 30 bills being debated on Tuesday alone. One of those bills was SF
394, which provides a method to determine who pays the medical expenses when a prisoner is ill or injured. I
received a lot of email about this early
in the session, and I was glad to see
this bill sail through debate, passing in
the Senate 50-0. It will now proceed to
the House, where I expect it will pass,
as well.
The bill SF 375 on providing maternity leave for adoptive parents
caused me to think long and hard. It
was amended to say, “An employer
shall treat an employee who chooses
to adopt in the same manner as an employee who is the biological parent of
a newborn child for purposes of employment policies, benefits and protections for the first year of the adoption.”
I am an adoptive parent and understand the need for time off during an
adoption. There are many demands on
adoptive parents, and bonding with a
child is paramount. I also want to encourage adoption in any way I can. My
concern with this bill is it mandates
action of companies that have already
stepped up voluntarily to support
women by providing maternity leave.
It is not government’s role to stick
our nose in everything that needs fixing - especially with a mandate. Let’s
encourage them to do the right thing
with a carrot, not a stick. Perhaps, a tax
credit to the company would be more
appropriate.
SF 375 did pass 37-9, and although I
voted against it, I want to compliment
Senator McCoy for bringing this bill
forward in the spirit of support for
adoptive families. (You may view any
Senate debate on the legislative website. The comments on this bill are on
March 19, 2015 beginning at 42.28
minutes into the debate).
This bill illustrates the difficult process when considering all that is involved with passing a bill. Sometimes,
we are tempted to do something that
looks very good on the outside but
may violate the principles that have
made this a great country. I prefer
to err on the side of the Constitution
and trust in the good people of Iowa
to make right the things outside of the
purview of government. Let’s never
give up working hard to keep the Iowa
values of freedom, family, and life,
remembering, “Perseverance is not
a long race but many short races one
after the other. Always do right; this
will gratify some people and astonish
the rest.”
Last Thursday, the House spent several hours debating HF 573, which
requires an abortion provider to certify that prior to the performance of
an abortion, the pregnant woman has
been given the opportunity to view the
ultrasound image and hear the heartbeat of the unborn baby. The purpose
of this bill is to help pregnant women
make an informed decision regarding her pregnancy by giving her the
opportunity to see an ultrasound and
hear the baby’s heartbeat. Our hope
is that women who see an ultrasound
and hear the heartbeat will recognize
the life of the unborn child and choose
a route other than abortion. HF 573
passed the House by a vote of 57-39
and was sent to the Senate for consideration.
Late last week, HF 397 (previously HF 88), which defines “occasional
work” in child labor laws, came up for
debate on the Floor. I was assigned this
bill in the Labor committee and ran the
bill on the Floor. After discussion and
questions, the bill passed the House by
a vote of 55-41. The bill is now eligible to be considered in the Senate.
Another important bill that passed
the House this week was HF 567,
which updates the list of controlled
substances to include synthetic drugs.
This bill also allows the Board of Pharmacy to designate a new substance as
a controlled substance by administrative rule if the substance is designated
as a controlled substance under federal law. If a substance is designated
as controlled, it will be repealed if the
General Assembly does not enact the
temporary amendment within two
years. This bill’s purpose is to control
synthetic drugs that are deadly to those
who partake of them.
HF 515 is an important bill for our
state. It adds an additional eligible
expense to arbitration costs by allowing the cost of school mediation and
arbitration, including legal costs, to be
paid for out of the Management Levy.
The Management Levy is an optional
property tax levy that can be used to
pay for unemployment benefits, liability insurance, insurance, judgments,
and early retirements. In the past, legal costs incurred during the process
of negotiation had to come from the
general fund. The current statewide
amount of the Management Levy for
FY15 is $147 million. This bill will
allow schools to use money from the
Management Levy for arbitrary costs
so that more of the general fund can be
used for education. HF 515 passed the
House on Tuesday and is now eligible
to be considered in the Senate.
Also on Tuesday, the House debated
and passed HF 414, which improves
veteran benefits services by requiring
certain disclosures which tell veterans
that benefit services are offered at no
cost by federally chartered veteran
service organizations and county commission offices. The bill also states
that a person who does not provide a
veteran with the proper disclosure and
obtain the veteran’s signature is subject to a civil penalty. The purpose of
this bill is to make veterans aware of
the free services offered by the federal
government, so they can take advantage of those services rather than purchasing those services from private
individuals.
This week, we also passed HF 570,
which changes municipal tort liability
laws. Current Iowa law lists specific
activities like canoeing, skateboarding
and “scootering”, for which there is a
“normal risk” of injury, and the law
provides cities limited liability protection if negligence was not involved in
accidents that happen on city-owned
property. Sledding is not on the list.
The bill would take out all the references to specific activities and insert
the phrase “recreational activities” in
the part of state law that offers some
liability protection to cities that allow sledding and other recreational
exploits on city-owned property. The
purpose of this bill is to place the responsibility for expected injuries on
the individual, while still holding cities responsible for gross negligence.
I appreciate your support and thank
you for allowing me the opportunity to
serve you. Please feel free to contact
me with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

Calendars pointed to the arrival of
Spring, but Ol’Man Winter dealt northern Iowa and southern Minnesota a
slamming punch below the belt last
week. Heavy snowfall and winds began piling up drifts which blocked the
country roads. Classes were cancelled
on Wednesday and did not re-open until Monday.

Monday was the first day of Spring
and what a day it was! One of the worst
storms we have had this year. Iowa has
all kinds of weather, but the best of
them is SPRING.
This is our town and it belongs to all
of us who live in Buffalo Center. Let’s
show our civic pride this spring and
have our town be a cleaner and more
pleasant place to live.

FAITH / COURTHOUSE
Annual Missions Conference
begins Saturday at Community Chapel
Pastor Kent Hillesland and the
Congregation of Community Chapel in Lakota invite the public to
their Annual Missions Conference,
March 28 through April 1. This
year, the theme is “Upholding the
Word, Impacting the World!” based
on the Scripture text of John 12:32,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the
earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
The Missionaries for the conference are:
two adult sons.
Larry and Jane Parks
Dr. Chacko Varghese
Dr. Chacko P. Varghese was born
in South India to Christian parents.
During childhood, Chacko’s family experienced much persecution.
Once, when Chacko’s father returned home after being severely
beaten for his faith, Chacko said
to himself, “If Jesus is important
enough for my father to be beaten
for his beliefs, then Jesus must be
very important.” Chacko accepted
the Lord at an early age and soon
joined his parents in preaching the
Gospel in the towns and villages of
India, helping them plant and establish churches.
Chacko is the founder and president of The India Mission for Evangelism (T.I.M.E) and Peniel Bible
Seminary and Missionary Training
Center in India. Over 100 students
are being trained each year, with
well over 1,000 graduates now involved in ministry in India.
In 2006, Peniel Children’s Home
and Academy was opened for poor
and destitute children in India from
age three to 18. About 100 impoverished children have come to live at
the home, and 160 are studying at
the Academy.
God is using Chacko each year to
preach to thousands in India and at
missions’ conferences, Pastors seminars, and giving training for evangelism in churches in America. His
ministry travels have taken Chacko
to many countries, such as Canada,
Mexico, Fiji Islands, Netherlands,
Switzerland, Israel, Germany and
other places.
Dr. Varghese lives with his wife,
Vineetha, in Prescott Valley, AZ, the
ministry base of T.I.M.E. They have
Larry and Jane Parks are missionary church planters serving with
ABWE, a Baptist missions agency,
in the province of Toledo, Spain
since 1977. The law of Religious
Liberty of 1968 allowed missionaries into Spain legally for the first
time. The Lord led Larry and Jane to
begin the work in Toledo, the capitol of the province, as there were no
existing churches in the city or surrounding areas.
The struggle to build this pioneer
work has been blessed with a “mother” church averaging 100 in attendance, a Romanian church averaging around 80, a new church now in
formation in Mora, and three other
mission points within the province.
There are also other evangelical
works getting started within the
capitol, such as the Southern Baptist, and various charismatic Pentecostal groups. The mission points of
the province are at various stages of
development, with Mora now in the
formal process of church formation.
The opportunities to reach out
in Spain are more abundant than
at any other time in Spanish history. It is during this crossroads of
time that the Lord opened the door
enabling the Parks to move into a
mentoring role among the believers.
In addition to multiple discipleship
and leadership modules/classes, the
Lord is guiding His people to reach
their world and province for Jesus
Christ.
Larry, a native of Blue Earth, MN
met his wife, Jane, while preparing
for missions at Bible College. Larry
pastored for a number of years while
in seminary until joining ABWE in
1973.
The Parks have four children and
seven grandchildren. Their last two
children were born in Spain. Sara
is married and serves the Lord with
her husband in Barcelona, Spain.
Joshua and his wife are presently
working with the Parks in the province, taking the leadership of the
new church in Mora.
In addition to these two missionar-
ies, there will be a third missionary
family affiliated with New Tribes
Mission at the conference. Their
names cannot be disclosed publically due to sensitivities with the group
of people they are missionaries to.
The Missions Conference begins
Saturday, March 28 at 3:30 p.m.
with a pizza party for junior and senior high youth and the missionaries as a fun get-acquainted time. All
area youth are invited. On Sunday,
Mar. 29, the day starts with Sunday
School at 9:30 a.m., with a missionary speaking to each age group,
followed by the Morning Service at
10:30 a.m., where Dr. Chacko Varghese will be speaking. The evening
services are from 6:30 - 7:45 p.m.
Each evening Sunday through
Wednesday at 6:35 - 7:05 p.m., one
of the missionaries will share a 30
minute Bible message, and Sunday
through Tuesday, from 7:15 – 7:45
p.m., one of the other missionaries
will be sharing their 30 minute field
presentation. The conference concludes on Wednesday evening, April
1, with a closing message from Dr.
Varghese, followed by a fellowship/
refreshment time. Also, each evening Sunday through Tuesday, there
will be a special children’s program
with one of the missionaries during
the Bible message.
Another interesting part of the
conference people are encouraged
to consider attending is the Monday through Wednesday, 9:30 AM

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL SESSION
March 10, 2015
The Buffalo Center City Council met in special session on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at
7 pm at City Hall. Council present: Schaefer,
Jensvold, Wubben, West, Paulson. City Attorney present: Donald Hemphill. Citizens present:
Janet Jutting, Sarah Paulson, Andrew Shaw.
Employees present: Pat Conroy and Matthew
Holmquist, Police Department; Paul Jutting,
Public Works; and Amy Schaefer from City Hall.
Mayor Troy Armstrong called the session
to order. Councilmember West requested the
addition of two things be added to the agenda.
They were Mike Droessler’s salary and questions for Donald Hemphill.
Wubben moved, seconded by Jensvold, to
approve the agenda. All ayes, motion carried.
Councilmember West asked City Attorney
Donald Hemphill several questions.
They included how many cities are you attorney for. In your letter … I sometimes wondered
whether you got “may” and “shall” mixed up, or
did it on purpose, because it’s my understanding that – what statute in the law book says that
the council does not make the decision, that the
mayor is not the dictator? Where you had said
in your letter that we cannot do anything about
Troy’s decision on termination. Where is that in
the page? Attorney Hemphill responded, referring to your city code… Sections 30.06, which
provides that the mayor shall appoint the police
chief and the mayor shall select, subject to the
approval of the council, the other members of
the department.
Don West continued, “Okay, so it’s approval
of the council; he doesn’t have that dictatorship.” Attorney Hemphill responded, “Well, what
it says is, the mayor appoints the chief, and the
mayor selects the other members of the department. Now his selection of the other members
of the department is subject to council approval.”
Don West continued, “Right. I would assume
that to be the same on termination.”
Attorney Hemphill explained, “Well, because
it doesn’t say termination. It says appointment.”
Don West asked, “Where does it say that he can
terminate somebody without council approval?”
Attorney Hemphill explained, “Well that’s also in
both the state law and your ordinances, that the
mayor is the chief executive.”
Don West continued, “If Mr. Conroy requests
a closed session, I believe the law says that it
shall be held. Not that it may be held. It shall
be held. Can you show me in the statue where
it says “may”? Attorney Hemphill responded,
“That’s in – I referred to it there in the letter – it
says section 21.5, it’s not “shall”, it’s “may”.”
Don West stated, “The other thing is, Mr.
Hemphill, you cannot find fault with an employee in closed session. That has to be done (by
the administration and such?). So, Matt can’t
come into that closed session and say “Well,
Pat did this or didn’t do that.” That’s finding
fault, and that’s not allowed in a closed meeting.”
Attorney Hemphill responded, “Well, the
whole purpose of the closed meeting is to evaluate the professional competency of an individual whose appointment, hiring, performance or
discharge is being considered. I think you can
consider that. But, I’ll agree with you to some
extent. Mr. Conroy has been terminated.”
Don West continued, “Well, Mr. Hemphill,
I disagree very strongly and believe your letter is mumbo jumbo and you hint at words or
statements which are not necessarily true. And
I think in the court of law, that would be proven.”
Attorney Hemphill responded, “I disagree. I give
the council and the mayor the best advice I can
based on 40 years of experience.”
Mayor Armstrong stated “We are not here to
question you at all (to Don Hemphill). Are you
done (to Don West)?” Don West responded,
“Yes.”
Mayor Armstrong continued “Okay. So, we
have an option here, and I would like this session here to stay an open session. We have
nothing to hide. It will be legal that way – there’s
no questions asked, and we can discuss everything we need to discuss here in open session.
That’s just my feelings – it’s up to you guys.”
Don West stated “Pat requested a closed
meeting.”
Troy Armstrong “Let me finish. It’s up to you
guys whether you want to go into closed session. He may request it, but it is not required
that we do.”
Mayor Troy Armstrong proceeded with the
meeting stating he would like the session to
stay in open session, there is nothing to hide.
Employee Pat Conroy agreed there was nothing to hide and open session was fine.
Matthew Holmquist read the letter that stated the police department concerns outlining
the misconduct of Officer Conroy. West stated
he was not here to defend Pat Conroy but felt
he was railroaded. West moved, seconded by
Jensvold, to overturn Mayor Armstrong’s termination of Officer Conroy. Ayes: Jensvold, West,
Wubben. Nays: Schaefer, Paulson.
Attorney Hemphill responded with this would
be the Mayor’s decision. Mayor Armstrong announced he is standing behind Office Holmquist
and no reconsideration.
The special session continued, West moved
to grant hourly wage increase to $11.00 for the
pool manager. The motion failed due to lack of
a second. Schaefer moved, seconded by Paulson, to approve a hourly wage of $12.50 for the
pool manager. Ayes: Schaefer, Paulson, Jensvold. Nay: West. Abstained: Wubben. Motion
carried.
Schaefer moved, seconded by Jensvold, to
hire Sarah Paulson as Pool Manager for the
2015 summer. Five ayes, motion carried.
The Council visited about the lack of the
moisture barrier in the Heritage Town Center
building during the construction phase. Schaefer moved, seconded by Wubben, to research
an architect for this review. Five ayes, motion
carried.
The Council discussed the unkempt properties and declared three of them dangerous.
They are properties owned by Don Gruis on
Sixth Avenue NW; Laroy Boehm on Fifth Avenue NW; and Verlin Lemaster on Second Avenue SW. West moved, seconded by Wubben,
to have City Attorney Hemphill contact these
parties. All ayes, motion carried.
Kossuth Waste Management Association
has increased the fee for garbage hauled to the
transfer station from $65 a ton to $70 a ton effective July 1, 2015. Wubben moved, seconded
by Paulson, to table the garbage rate discussion to the April meeting. All ayes, motion carried.
The tornado siren project is closer to completion. The poles have been set, the wiring completed, the sirens will be installed and tested.
The Council visited about the position of
trustee for the Graceland Cemetery. West
moved, seconded by Jensvold, to pay $50 a
time when having to mark a plot for when the
city’s is selling and for when the actual burial
grave needs marking. All ayes, motion carried.
The Council reviewed the street maintenance
repair quotes for the area by the school. The
three quotes were
Blacktop Service
$37,499.85
Heartland Asphalt
$43,749.30
North Iowa Sand & Gravel
$26,617.50
West moved, seconded by Schaefer, to approve the bid from Blacktop Service for the
amount of $37,499.85 with a July 1st payment.
Five ayes, motion carried.
Wubben moved, seconded by Paulson, to
adjourn the meeting. All ayes, meeting adjourned.

and refreshments are served and
the time is spent in an open forum,
“Question and Answer” time with
the missionaries. This is an informal
time together and gives the opportunity for learning a lot of the interesting details about missions and our
world, as well as the missionarys’
lives and ministry. The morning session closes with a devotional by one
of the missionaries.
Pastor Kent Hillesland and the
congregation invite everyone to join
them for any or all of the sessions.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will
have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil
and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3
boxes. To solve a sudoku,
the numbers 1 through 9
must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column and
box. You can figure out
the order in which the
numbers will appear by
using the numeric clues
already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it
gets to solve the puzzle!

“We’ve developed easy tips to dress up your table, from the ham to the centerpiece,”

new flavor to the classic ham, while food color can be used to make a variety of
spring-inspired egg dyes to feature in Easter table décor.”

Governor Branstad has appointed Dr.
Larry Hill of Thompson to the Iowa
Board of Educational Examiners. Hill
works at Waldorf College in Forest
City as director of business online program, master’s degree program interim
director and residential and online adjunct professor.
This will be Hill’s second four-year
term on the board. “We serve as the ethics board for education,” said Hill. “The
board is balanced between political
parties, is gender balanced, and is made
up of school administrators, classroom
teachers and community members. Appointees must be approved by the Iowa
Senate.”
The Iowa Board of Educational
Examiners takes on tasks such as setting licensure standards for classroom
teachers and administrators, employees
and endorsement areas; they hold legal
hearings over 150 ethical violations by
educators annually; and are currently
implementing the first-in-the-nation
mandatory ethics training for teacher
preparation programs and experienced
teachers.
“Iowa stands out as having a high ethical standard for educators,” said Hill.
“Our monthly meetings set the stage
and future movement of Iowa education, which is a serious responsibility. I
take pride in working with some of the

chorus, fall play and spring musical.

are always here for each other when
there are bumps in the road,” she said.
In her free time, she likes taking
weekend trips to the movie theater
with friends or her sister, visiting her
grandparents, randomly showing up
at friends’ houses, and engaging in
outdoor adventures, such as hunting,
fishing, golfing or lifeguarding.

Spencer Armstrong
The North Iowa bowling teams are
being recognized for the 2014-15
bowling season with three members
selected for All-District honors.
Leading the way is Spencer Armstrong, who was named to the First
Team All-District for the boys. Armstrong was the number two pick for
the First Team based on his scoring
average of 222.6. He had his first appearance at the State bowling tour-
nament this year as a sophomore.
He missed the cut at the individual
tournament in Waverly by just three
pins.
North Iowa bowling coach Doug
Aukes says Armstrong is a student
of the game and is always looking to
improve his game either by ball selection or by improving his physical
fundamentals.
Taking Honorable Mention for the
boys was Noah Melz, a sophomore,
who averaged 169 pins this season.
Aukes says Melz is always on time
for practice, gives his best on every
shot and is willing to learn. “We are
looking for Noah to take his game to
a new level next season as he learns
to adapt to changing lanes conditions,” said Aukes.
Sydney Giesking, another sophomore, received All-District Honorable Mention for the girls. While
she did not have the team’s high average score, Aukes says she showed
a natural ability to be a great bowler.
This was Giesking’s first year out
for bowling. “She is very coachable, willing to learn the game and
puts in a great effort in practice and
at the meets,” said Aukes. “Sydney
gets along with the team very well
and keeps her emotions on an even
keel.”
