The Minnesota Department of Ed-ucation released the MinnesotaComprehensive Assessment (MCA)results and though the Glencoe-Sil-ver Lake School District receivedabove-average and average scores atthe elementary and high schoollevel, the district’s junior high re-ceived low scores comparatively.

The MCAs are statewide tests thatmeasure students’ progress towardMinnesota’s academic standards.

Schools receive a proficiency per-centage that shows what percentageof its students achieved a proficienttesting score. These can be com-pared to the state averages.

The junior high students, bothgrades seven and eight, took readingand math tests. The eighth gradersalso took a science test.

At the seventh-grade level, theproficiency for reading was 42 per-cent, compared to a state average of56 percent, while the math profi-ciency was 46 percent, compared toa state average of 55 percent.

At the eighth-grade level, the pro-ficiency for reading was 44 percent,compared to a state average of 56percent, and the math proficiencywas 57 percent, compared to stateaverage of 58 percent. The lowestproficiency was seen with eighth

grade science scores with a rate of29 percent, compared to the stateaverage of 45 percent.

Junior High and High SchoolPrincipal Paul Sparby said thoughhe was happy with the overall re-sults, the junior high scores were notas good as he had hoped.

“When it comes to testing, I don’tknow if anyone’s ever pleased. Ithink you always look at your re-sults and realize there are areas youcan improve,” he said.

Sparby said he and staff are tryingto find out why the junior highscores are below average when theelementary school and high schoolresults are at or above average.

“That’s the question we’ve beenasking,” he said. “Why is that dis-connect coming from the junior highto the high school test? We haven’tput a finger on that.”

Sparby said the staff has alreadybeen working to improve scores andimplemented programs based on dif-ferentiation of instruction in order tomatch individual needs. He saidthese efforts have seen success.

“We’ve seen growth in the class-room with kids. We’ve seen kids bemore successful in their classes,”Sparby said. “Unfortunately, it has-

It’s important to rememberthat tests are just a “snap-shot” of one test day, Sparbysaid, and they don’t encom-pass everything.

“It doesn’t tell you every-thing about what’s going onwith the kid or the successthey’re having at school,”Sparby explained. “I think ifyou used only the test as yourdriving force you’d be miss-ing the big picture of whatyou’re trying to do withkids.”

Though Sparby said it isfrustrating to see lower testscores, he and the staff willcontinue to put in extra effortto support the students andinvest in the curriculum.

“We’re going in the rightdirection,” he said. “I’mhopeful that they’re going tocontinue to work hard andwe’ll see that reflected in ourtest scores.”

The rest of the districtscores were as follows: ele-mentary math, 67.4 percentcompared to state average of60.2 percent; elementaryreading, 62.8 percent com-pared to 59.4 percent; gradenine writing, 86 percent com-pared to state average of 88percent; grade 10 reading, 56percent compared to 57 per-cent; grade 10 science, 58percent compared to state av-erage of 55 percent; grade 11math, 48 percent compared tostate average of 49 percent.

The McLeod County Boardof Commissioners approvedspending up to $525,000 toreplace about 9,500 feet oftile in County Ditch 20, locat-ed near Hutchinson betweenHighway 15 and CountyState Aid Highway (CSAH)12.

The decision came after apublic hearing during theBoard’s regular meetingTuesday morning, Aug. 18.

Chuck Vermeersch, an en-gineer with Short Elliott Hen-drickson (SEH), who wastasked to study the ditch, saidthe original tile varies in di-ameter from 12 inches to 18inches. It will be replacedwith concrete pipe of as simi-lar size as possible, he said.

Scott Exsted, who ownsland in the area, said the cur-rent tile is “grossly under-sized” for draining the area.Exsted said 31-inch to 33-inch tile is needed to “ade-quately drain this area.”

However, Vermeersch saidthat upsizing the pipe willturn the project into an im-provement, rather than a re-pair, and that asking variousauthorities permission to en-large the pipe “will really bean uphill battle.”

Mark Ludowese, who alsofarms in the area, agreed thatenlarging the pipe would beideal, but also agreed withVermeersch that it wouldprobably never be approved.

Ludowese also said hisconcern is to replace the ex-isting tile, which is about 100

years old.“We need a good, reliable

tile,” said Ludowese. “We’reabout one wash-out awayfrom losing a significant por-tion of our crop.”

Commissioner Paul Wrightsaid that trying to get a largertile “will probably take twoyears and over a million dol-lars, and there’s no guaranteewe’ll get it.”

After more discussion, theCounty Board voted to acceptthe engineer ’s report andmove ahead with the project,the cost of which will be as-sessed to the benefittingproperty owners.

In other ditch business, itwas reported that the countyhad received a petition fromGene Freed to have Ditch 22repaired on his property.Ditch 22 is in the same areaas Ditch 20.

The County Board decidedto hire SEH to do a study ofthe entire length of Ditch 22,not just what is on Freed’sproperty, and then considerrepairs to the whole system.

In other business, theCounty Board:

• Heard an update on “ArtInspires Day,” hosted by So-cial Services for children whoare “from homes with abuse,neglect, trauma, mentalhealth or other issues thatbring them under our care,”said Social Worker TheresaDvorak.

The Art Inspires Day isheld annually at the McLeodCounty Fairgrounds and in-volves children in a wide va-riety of activities, from art

projects to interaction withthe mounted posse and itshorses.

Wright noted that organiz-ers of the event volunteer alot of off-the-clock hours tomake sure the day is a suc-cess for the children in-volved.

• Approved out-of-statetravel for Amanda Maresh, apublic health nurse, to attendFamily Connects trainingSept. 28-Oct. 2 in Raleigh,North Carolina.

Public Health Director Jen-nifer Hauser said FamilyConnects program focuses onvisits to families with newbabies, and is a pilot pro-gram.

“It’s kind of a feather inour cap that we were asked toparticipate in this,” saidHauser.

• Approved an agreementwith Ochs, Inc., to provide aweb-based software that al-lows county employees toview their benefits online andopen enrollment options.

• Heard that the county hadreceived dividends from theMinnesota Counties Intergov-ernmental Trust, throughwhich it gets liability andworkers compensation cover-age. Administrator PatMelvin reported that thecounty had received a divi-dend of $84,755 for workerscompensation and $47,961for property and casualty, fora total of $132,716.

• Set a budget workshopfor Sept. 1 after its regularmeeting.

Former PresidentJimmy Carter, now 90,announced this past

week that he has been diag-nosed with cancer. Starting outas skin cancer (melanoma), thecancer metastasized to hisliver, and now to his brain.

Jimmy Carter was a Democ-rat president in the late 1970s.He is revered as the presidentwho created the departmentsof energy and education, andin promoting peace throughthe Camp David Accords andthe Panama Canal treaties. Hewas reviled for his seeminglywishy-washy response to ahostage crisis in Iran, the 1979energy crisis and the ThreeMile Island nuclear accident.

Ronald Reagan, riding onthe heels of the Iran hostagecrisis, was elected as Carter’ssuccessor in 1980. Reagan wasthe epitome of a Republicanpolitician, beloved for his sup-ply-side “Reaganomics,” thewar on drugs, and is creditedfor the demise of the SovietUnion and the tumbling of theBerlin Wall. He was criticizedfor escalating military fundingand an escalating arms race.

The two men were nearlypolar opposites in politicaltheory, but in statesmanshipand leadership, they were verysimilar.

This is particularly evi-denced by the grace each manshowed as they encountered

possible end-of-life health is-sues.

In November 1994, Reaganreleased a letter to the Ameri-can people announcing that hehad Alzheimer’s Disease.

“I intend to live the remain-der of the years God gives meon this earth doing the things Ihave always done,” Reaganwrote. He ended his letter withthis poignant statement: “Inow begin the journey thatwill lead me into the sunset ofmy life. I know that for Ameri-ca there will always be abrighter dawn ahead.”

Carter took to the airwavesto announce his cancer. Al-though he intends to pursuetreatment, including radiationand chemotherapy. But he wasmatter-of-fact and relaxed ashe acknowledged the fact thathis life may be coming to anend, also; that he will be enter-ing the sunset of his life.

“I’m perfectly at ease withwhatever comes,” said Carter.He added, “I think I have beenas blessed as any human beingin the world. So I’m thankfuland hopeful.”

Like Reagan, Carter indicat-ed that he will continue to pur-sue his life’s passions until heis no longer able to do so.

Worlds apart in politics; sim-ilar in their humanity andgrace. Both deserve our re-spect and admiration.

— L.C.

Different in politics,similar in grace

Our view: Reagan, Carterfaced end-of-life issues with poise

By Lee H. HamiltonThe campaigning for next year’s

elections is starting to draw more at-tention, and with it comes a focuson voters and their mood. Which isall well and good, but it leaves outof the equation one large block ofcitizens: people who are eligible tovote, but don’t.

Over the years, a fair number ofpeople I’ve encountered have con-fessed that they do not vote — and Ioften surprise them by pressingthem on why they don’t. They givea multitude of reasons.

The most common is that they’retoo busy, or that voting takes toomuch time. Plenty also say they’returned off by politics, politicians,and anything having to do with gov-ernment. “What difference does itmake?” they’ll ask. Or they’ll arguethat money has so corrupted the po-litical system that they want no partof it.

There are also legitimate reasons:people are ill or disabled, theydidn’t know where to vote, or theirpolling place was hard to reach.Sometimes they didn’t meet theirstate’s registration deadline —which might be a month ahead ofthe election — or they ran into IDrequirements that stymied them. Onthe whole, it didn’t take much tokeep them away from the pollingplace.

Which, for many policy-makers,is of little concern. Some don’tworry about low voter turnout;they’re more focused on makingsure voters are informed. Others arepushing to make it more difficult foreligible voters to vote, since their

chief concern is to protect the in-tegrity of the ballot and reducefraud.

Still, plenty are deeply concernedabout falling rates of voter participa-tion — the 2014 elections saw thelowest turnout rate since 1942, ac-cording to the United States Elec-tion Project, which found that amere 35.9 percent of the voting-eli-gible population cast ballots.They’re concerned because votingdoesn’t just put office holders inplace and push policy in one direc-tion or another. It also affirms theelectoral system. When people don’tvote, they undermine the legitimacyand effectiveness of our representa-tive democracy. The vigor of oursystem depends on the vote of eachcitizen.

So what do we do about it?My first recommendation is actu-

ally a note of caution. Generallyspeaking, Democrats have empha-sized making ballot access easier;Republicans have focused on ballotintegrity. Both need to be addressedif we’re to build the legislative sup-port necessary to achieve neededchanges in our electoral system. Wehave to make it easier to vote andharder to cheat.

We need to modernize the system.Democracies like Australia andCanada invest serious money intheir election infrastructure and con-duct widely acclaimed elections.Ours, by contrast, is fragile and un-even. We’ve already had one presi-dential election decided by courts ona question of failed infrastructure.More embarrassing cases will cer-tainly occur.

We also need to recognize that thedays are long past when it was okayto place election administration inthe hands of partisan state or localpoliticians. They will contest forpower and use the system to influ-ence the process. It’s time for elec-tion management across the countryto be in non-partisan hands.

The aim of reforming the systemis to make voting convenient, effi-cient, and pleasant, to make sure themechanics work as they ought, andto ensure that disputes are handledfairly. This means that state govern-ments, not localities, should be re-sponsible for the accuracy and qual-ity of voter lists and for educatingthe public about voting. Often, localgovernments have neither the ex-pertise nor the funds to do this ef-fectively.

Finally, there’s the question ofvoter ID. It’s legitimate to ensurethat a person presenting himself orherself at the voting site is the sameone named on the voting list. But re-quiring an ID needs to be accompa-nied by aggressive efforts to findvoters and provide free access to thevoting booth. Instead, a lot of statesthat have instituted ID requirementshave dismissed the idea that this im-poses a responsibility to reach out tovoters and make IDs available tothose who can’t afford it. They’resubverting representative democra-cy.

Guest Column:

On voting … and not voting

To the Editor:It is amazing that everyone knows

about Cecil the lion and is outragedby his death. And yet no one seemsto care about the thousands of inno-cent babies aborted at the butcherfactory of Planned Parenthood eachyear and the sale of their hearts, feetand eyes, etc., of these innocent un-born babies.

The local media has devoted 97minutes of airtime to the death of

Cecil the lion, and only 23 minuteson the murder of thousands of inno-cent babies. Why is that no onecares about the most innocent of allthe unborn babies? Cecil the lionwas 13 years old — near the end ofhis life — unborn babies are at thevery beginning of their lives. Whyare people not outraged over thissavage act of aborting babies?

All we hear about is the talk of themother’s rights. What about the

rights of the unborn babies? Wakeup, America; it appears that we haveour priorities all mixed up. If youwant to protest something, why notprotest the horrid acts happening atPlanned Parenthood and not a lionwho would just as soon eat you aslook at you.

To the Editor:Why is it that McLeod

County can build a new DOTBuilding, tar roads to countyparks, help pay for taringLuce Line Trail, buy newcars and pick-ups and equip-ment every year but theyhave the worst roads in Min-nesota, and do nothing aboutit.

They put $10 surcharge onlicense plates and they getmoney from the gas tax.From the state they getmoney from all highway tax.We live on County Road 79and if we want to go toHutchinson to shop we haveto take the township road toSilver Lake then take StateHighway 7 to Hutchinson.

We are paying for roads wecannot drive on. We havemore industries in McLeodCounty than any borderingCounty. Why don’t we haveany good roads?

For example, Wright Coun-ty doesn’t have any gravelcounty roads.

To the Editor:Recently, President

Obama’s Environmental Pro-tection Agency (EPA) issuedthe final rule for what’sknown as the “Clean PowerPlan.”

This plan is more than1,000 pages of rules and reg-ulations that are supposedlyaimed at reducing the UnitedNations fraud of globalwarming and carbon pollu-tion. The net effect for fami-lies, however, will be hugespikes in their energy billsand the loss of thousands ofjobs. Dozens of lawsuits bystates and industries havebeen filed against this mis-guided energy plan.

Even President Obama’sown bureaucrats have admit-ted this plan, which could beone of the most expensiveregulations ever put forward,could possibly prevent onlyone-tenth of one degreechange in global tempera-tures in the coming years.While it will fail in doing

anything to meaningfullycombat global warming, itwill succeed in destroyingcoal jobs in North Dakotaand in other states that relyon clean coal power to cheap-ly keep the lights on in peo-ple's homes.

Minnesota must reduceemissions from power plantsby over 40 percent by 2030.North Dakota is required toreduce emissions 45 percent.This will require massive, ex-pensive changes away fromthe power sources we rely onnow to less efficient and reli-able sources like solar andwind, which simply can’tproduce the energy we needright now for 5 million-plusMinnesota residents.

This plan is nothing morethan a major power play byPresident Obama’s EPA andan attempt to punish and putout of business the remainingcoal plants which have man-aged to survive the presi-dent’s war on clean coal dur-ing his presidency. We know

for a fact that clean coal isone of the least expensiveand most reliable sources ofenergy, and attempts to moveaway from clean coal couldrisk the reliability of our en-tire energy grid. Technologyand American ingenuity havealways solved our pollutionproblems. Coal has had majorpollution problems in the pasthowever modern clean coaltechnology has virtuallyeliminated any pollution con-cerns. Fossil fuels with mod-ern technology are environ-mentally friendly and providereliable baseload electricityvery inexpensively. Low costelectricity is vital to our busi-nesses, farms and families.Unfortunately, the DFL greenagenda is going to drive upelectricity cost exponentiallyand do nothing for the envi-ronment.

The Minnesota Housepassed bipartisan legislationthis past year that would haverequired the Public UtilitiesCommission (PUC) to secure

legislative approval beforesending its final plan forMinnesota to the EPA. Unfor-tunately, many environmen-talist Democrats and Gover-nor Dayton opposed these ef-forts, blocking any chance forthe Legislature and its con-stituents to weigh in andforce changes to the plan. Ef-fectively, Governor Daytonand his PUC bureaucratshave the power to dramatical-ly alter Minnesota’s energypolicy, and refused to givethe people’s elected represen-tatives the opportunity to re-view the plan first.

The Legislature will holdhearings on the Clean PowerPlan later this year and nextyear as well and ensure thatthe public will have a chanceto make their feelings known.I will be sure to send alongupdates when those meetingsare scheduled.

Shoeb Mohammed, M.D.,an internal medicine physi-cian, recently joined the med-ical staff at Glencoe RegionalHealth Services (GRHS). Hesees patients at the Glencoeclinic five days a week andalso serves on a team ofphysicians who manage thecare of hospitalized patients.

Dr. Mo-hammed fo-cuses onpreventing,diagnosingand treatinga broadscope ofm e d i c a lconditionsin adult pa-tients.

“I enjoythe widevariety a general internalmedicine practice brings,”says Dr. Mohammed. “I alsohave a special interest intreating conditions related to

the liver.”Practicing in Glencoe

marks a return to the statewhere Dr. Mohammed grewup. He lived in the TwinCities area from age 4 untilhe received his bachelor’s de-gree in biomedical engineer-ing from the University ofMinnesota – Twin Cities in2006.

Dr. Mohammed attendedmedical school at Ross Uni-versity School of Medicine,Dominica, West Indies. Mostrecently, Dr. Mohammedserved as chief resident in in-ternal medicine at DanburyHospital, Danbury, Connecti-cut, which is affiliated withthe Yale University School ofMedicine. During his residen-cy, he also served as an assis-tant professor of medicine atthe University of Vermont.

“One benefit I bring to mypatients and GRHS is a dif-ferent perspective on medicalpractice,” he says. “Having

grown up in Minnesota, at-tended medical school in theCaribbean and received med-ical training in the northeastU.S., I’ve observed howphysicians practice different-ly in different places. So nowI’m able to adapt and usepractices that have workedelsewhere.”

Dr. Mohammed, his wife,Fariha, and their three youngchildren live in Eden Prairie.He is glad to have returned toMinnesota with his family sothey can live near his rela-tives and old friends.

According to the UnitedStates Department of Agri-culture, National AgriculturalStatistics Service Aug. 17 re-port, topsoil moisture sup-plies in Minnesota were ratedat 16 percent short, 81 per-cent adequate, and 2 percentsurplus. Subsoil moisturesupplies were rated at 13 per-cent short, 84 percent ade-quate, and 2 percent surplus.Locally, recent rainfall hasbeen variable around the re-gion.

Minnesota’s corn conditionrated 88 percent good to ex-cellent and the soybean cropwas rated 80 percent good toexcellent. Overall, crops lookgood in the region in mostareas, but there are areas thathave received significantlyless rainfall over the lastmonth. Areas lacking rainfallwill see a significant yieldloss compared to other partsof the region.

Continue to scout for soy-bean aphids until the field isat the R6 development stage.At R6 the pods are fullypacked with green seed.Scout in fields that have notbeen treated or in fields thathave already been treated tomake sure that populationsare not reaching the thresholdlevel. Treat when populationsreach the threshold of 250aphids per plant when 80 per-cent of plants have aphids. Atthe threshold, yield loss is notyet occurring, but will ifaphids are not soon con-trolled. Hopefully, recentrainfall and cooler conditionswill slow the increase of soy-bean aphid populations.

University of MinnesotaExtension Educator DanMartens recently highlightedwaterhemp in his weeklynews column. Dan workswith agricultural profession-als and farmers in Stearns,Benton and Morrison coun-ties.

Take note of weeds show-ing up in fields now. One wa-terhemp plant this year willproduce enough seed to be asignificant patch next yearthat will be spread wider withtillage work. Patches soonbecome wide spread areas offields if not dealt with.

Some people are pullingisolated weeds that have po-tential to become biggerproblems in fields. If seed isforming now, they mighteven carry the weeds off thefield, maybe burning them on

a brush pile — if that can bedone safely. We all have alimit to the amount of timewe can or care to spendpulling weeds. We can dosome work to actually identi-fy what the weeds are andwhere they are. This is realinformation we discuss at ourfarm stores or with agronomyadvisors in making plans for2016.

Waterhemp is part of theamaranth or pigweed family.It usually has a leaf that ap-pears somewhat longer andnarrower than red-root pig-weed. The seed flower is dif-ferent too. We have aboutfive variations of pigweed inMinnesota. They can crosspollinate to create a wider va-riety of combinations. Water-hemp develops resistance toglyphosate more quickly thansome weeds because it hasmale and female flowers ondifferent plants. This offersgreater genetic capacity for

multiplying resistance.Other weeds that might be

on a top 10 list to watch in-clude giant ragweed, com-mon ragweed, lambsquarter,velvetleaf, yellow nutsedge,nightshade, and kochia.Kochia is more common tothe west and northwest inMinnesota. Some of thesehave more potential to germi-nate, emerge and produceseed later in the growing sea-son.

Overall, crops look good in the area

Ten waitresses,friends of the bride, startedserving at noon and otherfriends cut and served thewedding cake. The cookscontinued on into the lateevening.

After dinner, the ladiesgathered around the bride andgroom while the gifts wereopened. Two neighbor menopened the bar and numerousadult beverages began toflow. The groom showedeveryone his bride’s garterwith the groomsmen getting avery close inspection. Thebride threw her bouquetbackwards to a bunch of girlsin hopes of catching it, whichindicated she would be thenext bride very soon. A rela-

tive played tunes on his but-ton box; people started todance. It was hot: moistureformed on the auditorium; thewindows steamed up.

About 5 p.m., all 300guests sat down to anotherhuge meal. At about 6 p.m.,everyone went home to dochores, milk cows, feed thehogs and gather eggs.

At 9 p.m. everyone arrivedat the Pla-Mor Ballroom inGlencoe to dance to theWally Pikal Band at a chargeof $135. Entrance ticketswere 75 cents. Beer wasavailable at the bar but mostpeople brought in a “fifth”(four-fifths of a quart) of astronger adult beverage tomix while at their booths.After a half-hour intermissionat 11:30 p.m., the band start-ed again at midnight andplayed until 1 a.m.

About 1:30 a.m., many ofthe closer relatives met at thebride’s parents farm for anafter-midnight snack, proba-bly leaving about 3 a.m. At 5a.m., everyone would be upand milking cows, doingchores and by 10 a.m., afterthe headaches wore off, start-ed another day of hard physi-cal farm work.

The groom and the bridetook off for a quick five-dayhoneymoon, making surethey took their marriage li-cense along to show themotel owner they were legal-ly married.

About two weeks later,several people organized asecret party. About 9 p.m.,over 100 people met in theircars on the road about 2 milesfrom the bride and groom’sfarm. They were very quietand drove slowly though thedarkness with their lights offand quietly moved onto thenewly wedded couple’s darkfarm site. Then all “Heck”broke loose! The “shivaree”

started! People blew theirhorns continuously, flashedtheir car lights, jumped out oftheir cars, banged on hugesaw blades and old pots andpans, banged on old washtubs, rattled tin cans and cowbells and hollered for thebride and groom to come outof the house. The windowcurtains parted slightly whilethe bride and groom lookedout to see their yard full ofcars and people. They werefinally convinced to come outof the house and stand beforethe crowd, who were all hol-lering for an adult beverage.The groom had to finally“pony up” (a pony is one-fourth of a barrel) for a kegof beer and the party started.An accordion started playing,dancing started and kids ranaround the yard in the eeriemoonlight playing hide andseek. Much later a lunch fol-lowed.

About 2 a.m., the bride andgroom could finally get backto bed. The crowd went homeand nursed their headache thefollowing morning whiledoing chores followed byhard physical work.

The wedding party was fi-nally over! A great time washad by all!

It will be nearly perfect this week as temperatures stayin the 70’s, ramping up to the lower 80’s for the week-end.

Fresh Canadian air has filtered into the upper Midwestthis past weekend, making it feel more like early Septem-ber. The air also has less moisture available so we’ll onlyhave one real chance of rain the entire forecast period. Astorm system will enter the picture late Thursday intoFriday bringing a chance of rain and thunder. The stormshould exit as we move thru Friday setting the stage for avery pleasant weekend. Highs should ramp up to thelower 80’s with plenty of sunshine. The extended is look-ing warmer as a ridge of high pressure builds to our westand tries to make it into the area.

Enjoy the last week of August everyone, hello Septem-ber! Another storm is forecast to move through late Sat-urday into Sunday, but it should move a little faster, sohopefully it’s out of the region early Sunday. Highs willfall back into the 70s Sunday.Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikend

Wednesday night — Lows 50-56; clear.Thursday — Highs 73-79, lows 57-63; clear, then night

rain.Friday — Highs 70-76, lows 54-61; rain or thunder

early and cloudy.Saturday — Highs 75-81, lows 57-63; mostly clear.Sunday — Highs 78-84; mostly clear.Weather Quiz: What are some of September’s weather

extremes?Answer to last week’s question (There’s been a lot of

buzz recently about El Nino again; what’s going on withthis phenomenon?): All signs point to a very large ElNino this year. El Nino occurs when the Pacific Oceanwest of South America warms more than normal. Thisends up changing North Americas weather patterns….typically warmer and near normal to above normal pre-cipitation for us. Most models are hinting at a very wetpattern for California so hopefully it holds true and bustsa bit of their historic drought.

Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
