Local church group visits Europe for mission work

For some, the opportunity to travel opens up a new world full of different foods, new cultures and brilliant sights. For others, it also shows how God can help people.

A local group of travelers, members of Creston’s First Baptist Church, visited Romania in June to help the Roma people through God on a mission trip.

“This year, we went to Romania,” said 37-year-old Dan Fields, pastor at First Baptist Church. “The Roma people are underprivileged.”

The trip, which lasted from June 16 to June 30, was two weeks of the Creston area locals helping current missionaries in the Romanian region with vacation bible schools and other activities with children in two local villages.

left Des Moines and had a layover in Atlanta, Ga. From there, they went to Paris, France, then over to Budapest, Hungary. From Budapest, they drove four hours to Oradea, Romania.

A missionary couple in Romania works with a couple church organizations in order to start churches in the region. The Creston group met Kim and Luke Warner, the missionary couple, and helped the two clean the church near villages near Oradea.

“They have basically two big road blocks. They’re dealing with a different culture, a Romanian culture,” Fields said of the missionary couple. “But, within this Romanian culture, you have this cultural subset of this Roma people who are basically viewed as social outcasts.”

The Roma people lived on the outskirts of the villages.

Greenfield woman to be Romanian missionary GREENFIELD — “God’s changing lives, and he’s just inviting us to be a part of it.”

That’s what Nicki Carr believes, and she’s planning on changing lives through God. Carr, 28, will be traveling to Romania to be in full-time mission.

“I’m a church-planting assistant,” Carr said. “As a nurse, I’m going over to be in ministry, but also kind of offer them a background in health. I’ll be a little bit of an educator and be a little bit of a liaison.”

Carr, a Greenfield area native, graduated from Orient-Macksburg High School in 2005 before getting

a degree in nursing from Southwestern Community College.

She then earned a bachelor’s degree in missions with an emphasis in nursing from Saith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny.

Carr will be traveling to villages that surround the Romanian city of Oradea, in the northwestern part of the country.

While there, she will help plant churches in the area for the Roma people and provide her nursing skills to those in need. She will be in Europe for three and a-half years before returning to Please see CARR, Page 2

For years, the property at Lincoln School has been a major bus stop for the Creston School District.

Within the next 30 days, it will likely become a construction site for the Seldin Company of Omaha, Neb. Can it be both at once?

School administration and leadership at Seldin both say it can, as long as the proper safety measures are in place.

Steve McDermott, Creston Schools superintendent, said as many as 30 kids use the bus stop at the old school property.

He said McDermott the surrounding area does not provide many good alternatives for a bus stop, and as long as safety precautions, like adequate fencing, are taken, he has no plans to change the location.

“At this point, I’ve received no information that would say that that would change,” he said, “but we are continuing to keep an eye on that spot because that particular location is a key bus stop for us.”

McDermott said that bus stop has always been supervised and will continue to be supervised before and after school.

Mike Fallesen, vice president with Seldin, said his team will work carefully with the school district to ensure students aren’t in danger.

“We don’t have any intention in disrupting what’s been occuring there at the spot for years,” Fallesen said. “We need to make sure Fallesen the site is safe, so fencing is going to be important to make sure those students that are departing from the site and getting off at the site are not at risk of injury. We’ll coordinate that very carefully.”

Seldin purchased the property from the city in August 2014 and has plans to renovate the building into 16 rental housing units and also to build 11 town homes on the property.

Stage 1 of the project will involve demolition inside the school building, dirt work and running utilities.

Fallesen said he expects that working through due diligence with investors will be finished and that construction will begin within the next 30 days.

Fallesen said it’s too far out to guarantee a completion date for the project, but he estimates it will be done around July of next year.

Speed limits change in Afton after DOT study

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

AFTON — New Afton speed signs installed this month have motorists traveling faster downtown, but slower near the junction of highways 34 and 169.

These changes, which involve four speed signs on U.S. Highway 169 inside city limits, resulted from an Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) traffic investigation performed in May. Afton City Council had requested the investigation in order to change the speed limit from 45 to 35 mph turning into town off U.S. Highway 34. While the investiga-

tion approved this change, it also recommended increasing the speed limit from 20 to 25 mph through the business district, which stretches from Railroad Street to Filmore Street, as well as increasing the speed zones on either side of the business district from 25 to 30 mph.

The council had to adopt all or none of the changes. But not approving them could result in grounds for contesting traffic tickets, said Toni Landers, Afton city clerk.

“They said we could leave it if we wanted to, but if anyone were to get a ticket in that area, they could protest it if they found out it was a speed study and it was rec-

ommended that we raise it,” Landers said. “We didn’t really want to raise it, but the council Landers didn’t feel like it had an option.”

The council approved the changes unanimously during its June 9 meeting. New signs were installed earlier this month.

Afton Police Chief John Coulter said the changes are a “win-lose situation.”

This sign, which stands at the intersection of U.S. Highway 169 and Railroad Street in Afton, marks the beginning of the 25 mph zone through Afton’s business district. This speed zone, formerly at 20 mph, changed after Afton City Council voted to adopt speed changes recommended by an Iowa Department of Transportation speed study.

Work The group arrived in Europe on Thursday, so Friday the work began in Luncsoara.

The kids and adults helped the missionaries clean the church, split wood for the winter, paint and do other general maintenance work.

The next day, the group toured the area. The following weeks were filled with church services and sermons, more maintenance work and vacation bible schools with local children.

“We taught them the Gospel, who God is, who they are as sinners, the word of Jesus,” Fields said.

Approximately 70 kids attended the three-day vacation bible school hosted in Lunscoara the Creston church group helped with.

The kids met each morning Tuesday through Thursday to learn about the Gospel, do crafts and have a meal to take home. The same thing happened in Cheriu Monday through Wednesday in the afternoons.

“We worked with a child who had HIV,” Fields said.

“We didn’t necessarily know that up front, but it doesn’t change anything. He still needs Jesus.”

The kids would spend two hours during each vacation bible school meeting with the missionaries and Creston group.

“They lack social skills, so during VBS (vacation bible school) we’d play games with them, and we’d say: line up.

Well, it was like, it’s to death for whoever’s going to get first in line,” Fields said. “For the most part, our basic communication was basically a few things: listen up, sit down, come.”

This kind of work is different than the regular trip the church helps sponsor. First Baptist members go on wilderness trips annually to different national parks in the country, where they spend

the first week getting to know nature, themselves and God, and the second week helping with a church. The first international trip was to Japan in 2010, and the Romanian trip was the second. These international trips don’t include a week of wilderness, as Fields explains the culture they are delving into is similar to that wilderness.

“The Roma people, their homes don’t have indoor plumbing, so cleaning for them is pretty nonexistent. So, that was one thing we were able to do to help the missionaries,” Fields said. “Some of our students, for the first time, saw what real begging looked like.”

Before and after The 10 students worked to go on the trip. They were required to read books, memorize Bible verses and raise part of the money for the trip.

The church paid for $1,070 per student. The students then contributed $500, and raised $500 through letters to family and friends.

Once they got there, the kids also did other kinds of work aside from maintenance.

For example, high-school student Bryan Pearson taught a

lesson to the local children.

Yet, Fields said what the kids took away from the trip was just as important because they saw how God worked beyond Creston. “(It was inspirational) for our students to see what God is doing all over the world.

We’re able to see in a different context how God is using people to reach others for Christ,” Fields said. “You’d think, yeah, this is not that much different than Iowa.

Yet, the culture is completely different and God is at work there.”

Who are the Roma?

The Roma are a group of transient people Pastor Dan Fields and his troupe visited in Romania.

Origin Also known as Romani or Gypsies, the latter being used in the modern world as a racial slur, the Roma people originated in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent and have since dispersed throughout the world. Currently, groups of Roma people live in Europe, South America and North America, with the United States as home to one of the largest populations per country.

The Roma people migrated to Europe after the 11th century, and into northern Africa around the 14th and 15th centuries. Emigration to North America began as early as the colonial times, and large groups of Roma emigrated in the 1860s. Since then, more than one million Roma call America home. There are more than 600,000 Roma living in Romania, where Fields and his group helped a missionary couple with church services and vacation bible school.

Culture Traditional Roma families value large families, and often marry young. Social behavior is regulated by dharma, which is a concept with multiple meanings throughout Indian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism that explains how people interact with other people, nature and the cosmos.

A popular image of the Roma is the people are thieves and untrustworthy, and that image led to their persecution. The term “gypsy” also came from this notion, since the word “gyp” means to cheat out of. In modern times, many Roma people are rejected by the cultures they live in, and live on social welfare. In eastern Europe, many Roma communities have high unemployment rates, and a small percentage of Roma children graduate from secondary school.

the United States for six months. She will report about her time overseas and then head back.

She went with Pastor Dan Fields and a group of Creston’s First Baptist Church attendees to Romania June 16-30, her second trip to the eastern European country.

Her first trip in 2013 left her with six weeks with doctors and nurses and doing clinics with local people.

“The people have been very receptive. They’re very welcoming, very warm people. They’re excited to see us,” Carr said. “We’re there

to plant churches and basically to change people’s lives and lead them to Christ.”

Carr has 31 percent of support to raise before she boards a plane to cross the Atlantic Ocean on her permanent missionary adventure.

“I don’t think anybody’s totally prepared, but I’m prepared to learn. I’m prepared to go and make mistakes and learn from those mistakes, and I’m prepared to do whatever God has in store for me there,” Carr said. “I’m excited about it. I think it’s a huge opportunity to be part of what God’s doing.”

Romani people were influenced by Pentecostalism, but the modern Romani mostly follow Christianity, while some follow other religions such as Islam and Hinduism.

When they adopt their country’s religious practices, however, they don’t give up their current religious practices. For example, if the Roma adopt the Christian practice of baptism, they follow the practice as well as their own practice of Shaktism, which requires a female consort to worship a deity.

Surely they could come up with a better alternative.” — Joseph B., Lake Worth, Fla. Joseph, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just going to write about this!

Horoscope Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Do something to discourage arguments and battles with partners and close friends, as well as bosses, parents or authority figures. In fact, do your best to keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid controversial subjects like religion, politics and racial issues, because arguments can erupt very easily today.

Instead, use your focused energy to get work done.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Jealousy in romantic relationships (or even between your children) might be a problem today. Do your best to keep things cool. This is a good day for competitive sports.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are intent on making improvements to where you live. However, discussions with a female relative, perhaps Mom, could be volatile today.

Postpone these if you can.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are mentally alert and energetic today.

However, you might be verbally pushy with co-workers, which could trigger an argument. Keep your energy to yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Equipment related to your work might break down today.

Something might impede money coming to you or even how you earn your money.

You might break something that you own. (Ouch.) Tread carefully!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign; however, it is at odds with mighty Pluto. This encourages compulsive behavior. It also can trigger confrontations with others. Be cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something going on behind the scenes might upset you today. You may be aware of this; you might not be. Stay calm, because high emotions could lead to poor decisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Confrontation with a female friend or acquaintance is likely today. Don’t ask anyone for help. Don’t expect anything from anyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with authority figures, especially females, will be strained today. Guilt, jealousy and manipulative actions are classic. Try to take the high

road, if you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t let anyone talk you into anything today, because people have their own ulterior motives. Quite likely, their motives are not in your best interests. Think twice about an impulsive trip.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t be rash or impulsive with the property and wealth of others today. Maintain your course. Respect what others own. Don’t try to borrow something on the sly.

YOU BORN TODAY You are adaptable. You experience life fully, especially emotionally. You are a natural leader, and your happiness is not robbed by adversity. Go slowly this year. There is something important to learn. The first half of this year will seem slow, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! Get out into nature this year.

Royals win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kendrys Morales had an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday night.

Ben Zobrist singled with one out in the 10th, the Royals’ first hit since Eric Hosmer’s RBI single in the first inning. After Hosmer walked, Morales singled against Trevor Gott (2-1) as Kansas City improved to 7-2 in extra-inning games.

Kelvin Herrera (4-2) pitched a perfect 10th to pick up the victory.

Kole Calhoun homered in the eighth off Wade Davis to put the Angels up 3-2.

Angels closer Huston Street, however, could not hold the lead in the ninth. He walked the bases loaded before Alex Rios’ sacrifice fly scored Hosmer to tie the score.

Mike Trout made a diving catch of Paulo Orlando’s scorcher to right-center for the third out to preserve the tie.

Kenseth cruises BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — Matt Kenseth started in the lead, stayed there for most of the race and finished with his third Sprint Cup victory of the season Sunday, beating Kevin Harvick by 1.7 seconds at Michigan International Speedway..

It was the second race under NASCAR’s highdrag aerodynamic package, which was also in place at Indianapolis last month in an effort to improve passing. At Michigan, Kenseth won while leading 146 of 200 laps — so whatever excitement there was occurred further back in the pack.

“Cars could really, at the end of the straightaway, gain on others, two or three car lengths,” said Jason Ratcliff, Kenseth’s crew chief. “But they just couldn’t do much once they got there, and they got down in the corner.”

Kenseth led for 73 percent of the laps Sunday, the highest percentage by anyone in a Cup race this year. He’d led for only 147 laps all season before dominating this 400-mile race in his No. 20 Toyota.

Sale Ks 15 CHICAGO (AP) — It took another dominant performance by White Sox ace Chris Sale to slow down the Chicago Cubs.

Sale matched a career high with 15 strikeouts while pitching seven scoreless innings, and the White Sox snapped the crosstown Cubs’ ninegame win streak with a 3-1 victory on Sunday.

Jose Abreu, Melky Cabrera and Alexei Ramirez homered for the White Sox, who had lost 10 of 15. Abreu, Cabrera and Carlos Sanchez had two hits apiece.

Sale (11-7) allowed one hit - Dexter Fowler’s oneout single in the sixth and walked two. It was his 11th double-digit strikeout game of the year and ran his total for the season to a major league-best 208 Ks.

Iowa turns to Daniels at running back

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa will finally have a running back starting at running back this fall.

After three years leaning on converted fullback Mark Weisman, the Hawkeyes intend to make junior LeShun Daniels Jr. their starter.

Iowa, which has typically tried to build its offensive philosophy around a strong running game, is hopeful that Daniels can be its first player to rush for over 1,000

yards since Marcus Coker in 2011.

The Hawkeyes open their season Sept. 5 against Illinois State.

“He’s obviously a bigger back, and he’s really an intelligent, smart guy. He knows who he needs to block, and he knows where he needs to be. You can always count on him, and he’s been running the ball really well,” quarterback C.J. Beathard said about Daniels.

Please see IOWA, page 6A

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Given a third straight chance to finally win a major, Jason Day promised a fight to the finish in the PGA Championship.

Turns out the biggest fight was to hold back the tears.

Worried that this year might turn out to be a major failure, Day never gave Jordan Spieth or anyone else a chance Sunday. He delivered a record-setting performance at Whistling Straits that brought him a major championship he started to wonder might never happen.

Day was in tears before he even tapped in for par and a 5-under 67 for a threeshot victory. He Day sobbed on the shoulder of Colin Swatton, his caddie and longtime coach who rescued Day as a 12-year-old struggling to overcome the death of his father.

And then came high praise from Spieth in the scoring trailer when golf’s new No. 1 player told him, “There’s nothing I could do.”

“I didn’t expect I was going to cry,” Day said. “A lot of emotion has come out because I’ve been so close so many times and fallen short. To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favorite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing.”

Three shots ahead with three holes to play on a course with trouble every-

down the fairway on the par-5 16th and hit a towering 4-iron into 20 feet.

He bit his lower lip, swatted his caddie on the arm, knowing his work was almost done.

The two-putt birdie put him at 20-under par, and two closing pars gave him the record to par in majors, breaking by one shot the 19 under of Tiger Woods at St. Andrews in the 2000 British Open.

Day finished at 20-under 268, not knowing until it was over that it was a record.

What really mattered was that shiny Wanamaker Trophy at his side.

He shared the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open and the British Open and had to watch someone else celebrate.

“Not being able to finish, it would have been tough for me mentally to really kind of come back from that,” Day said.

“Even though I feel like I’m a positive person, I think that in the back of my mind something would have triggered and I would have gone, ‘Maybe I can’t really finish it off.’

“It felt like I was mentally and physically grinding it out as hard as I could,” he said. “I wasn’t going to stop fighting until it over.”

Spieth gave it his best shot, but even the Masters and U.S. Open champion could tell what he was up against the way the 27-year-old Australian powered one drive after another and didn’t let anyone closer than the twoshot lead with which he started the final round.

“He played like he’d won seven or eight majors,” Spieth said. “He took it back. He wailed it.

It was a stripe show.”

Spieth has the greatest

his runner-up finish, he replaced Rory McIlroy at No. 1 in the world.

“This is as easy a loss as I’ve ever had because I felt that I not only couldn’t do much about it as the round went on, I also accomplished one of my lifelong goals in the sport of golf.

That will never be taken away from me now. I’ll always be a No. 1 player in the world.”

Spieth set a record of his own. By closing with a 68, he set a record by playing the four majors in 54-under par, breaking by one the mark that Woods set in 2000. The difference is that Woods won two majors by a combined 23 shots.

That also speaks to the depth of golf in this generation, and Day is the latest example. He moved to No. 3 in the world, meaning the top three in the world are all under 27 and have combined to win five of the last six majors.

“As long as I am healthy, I feel like I’m going to be there a long time,” Day said. “I still want to accomplish that No. 1 goal of mine, which is to be the best player in the world.

I’m still motivated and still very hungry for that, even after this win.”

Branden Grace of South Africa had ano t h e r mistake on the back nine in a major that cost him. Grace G r a c e was tied for the lead at the U.S. Open when he hit his tee shot on the railroad tracks and out-of-bounds Please see PGA, page 6A

at Chambers Bay. This time, he was two shots behind when he went long of the 10th green and made double bogey. He closed with a 69 and finished third, five shots behind.

Justin Rose got within two shots until making a double bogey for the third straight day. He closed with a 70 and finished fourth.

Day faced enormous pressure of having a lead for the first time going into the final round, trying to avoid becoming the first player since

the PGA Championship went to stroke play in 1958 to have at least a share of the 54-hole lead in three straight majors without winning.

It sure didn’t show, even if he felt it every step of the way.

“I knew today was going to be tough, but I didn’t realize how tough it was going to be,” Day said. “I learned a lot about myself, being able to finish the way I did.

The experiences that I’ve had in the past with previous major finishes has definitely helped me prepare myself for a moment like this.”

IOWA: Continued from page 5A

At 6 foot and about 225 pounds, Daniels is built like the kind of traditional big back that Iowa was once known for.

If Daniels can stay healthy, he’ll likely get as many carries as he can handle.

Daniels struggled through injuries as a freshman, rushing for just 142 yards.

He looked ready to emerge last season Daniels until a foot injury sidelined him for the second half of the year.

Daniels made his push to be the starter with a strong spring camp though, and he’s also dropped 10 pounds in an effort to gain some quickness and flexibility.

“I really feel a much bigger difference between myself now and myself last year. I just feel like I can make much different cuts, making different moves, get out of situations much quicker and make bigger, explosive plays.”

For now, senior Jordan Canzeri appears set for be Iowa’s third down and change of pace back — though a bigger role could be possible with a strong finish to fall camp.

Canzeri has also battled through a series of health issues during his career, and at 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds it’s unclear whether he’d be

able to withstand the pounding he’d have to take week in and week out.

But Canzeri has had his moments with the Hawkeyes, most notably when he rushed for 120 yards on just 12 car- Canzeri ries in a bowl loss to Tennessee in January.

Converted wide receiver Derrick Mitchell will also be in the mix — though he’s the least experienced back in contention for playing time — and Akrum Wadley has gotten a look as well after rushing for 106 yards in last year’s rout of Northwestern.

Of course, it won’t matter who runs the ball for the Hawkeyes if they can’t find adequate replacements for offensive tackles Brandon Scherff and Andrew Donnal, who are both now in the NFL. Sophomores Boone Myers and Ike Boettger have been tasked with replacing Scherff and Donnal, and they and their linemates struggled at times Saturday.

But Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz expressed confidence in both players after having watched them through the first week of camp.

“They’re quality guys.

They’re hard working guys.

They’re intelligent, and to me it’s just a matter of time.

They’re running the race real well right now,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

Sports briefs Correction In the senior division of the Tournament of Champions in Atlantic, Rick Carter of Crestmoor Golf Club was fourth at 73-74-73 — 220, 13 over par.

An earlier announcement stated Carter placed fifth.

Officials needed The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union is weighing options in the hopes of attracting new officials for the various sports. Lisa Brinkmeyer of the girls’ union says over the last five or six years they have lost more than 400 officials.

Brinkmeyer said, “It used to be that colleges offered an officiating class and credits.

Well, those kind of fell by the wayside, although our officials coordinator Joel Oswald is working with some of the colleges trying to get that started up again. And, also mentoring. We’ve got so many great officials out there. We talk to them a lot about ‘find some young guy or young gal in your community, to get them interested in it.’”

Brinkmeyer says there have also been discussions about the possibility of offering credits to high school students who officiate junior high contests. She says a national study showed that one in ten new officials don’t return for a second year.

Neely-Kinyon field SPEED LIMITS: day to highlight sustainable and organic farming Continued from Page 1

Scheduled 4 p.m.

Tuesday, the field day and workshop is recommended for farmers and processors.

■

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will co-sponsor a field day to highlight the integration of crops and livestock in sustainable and organic systems on Tuesday at the Iowa State University Neely-Kinyon Farm in Greenfield. The field day will begin at 4 p.m. and will end around 7 p.m. with supper prepared by Adair County Pork Producers and Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center, and will feature locally-grown organic vegetables.

In the 17 years of research at the Neely-Kinyon Farm, Dr. Kathleen Delate, extension organic specialist, has shown basically equivalent corn and soybean yields between organic and conventional production techniques, along with excellent organic alfalfa performance.

Dr. Cindy Cambardella will present results showing higher soil and water quality in organic systems that utilize longer rotations and cover crops, including organic no-till vegetables.

These promising results demonstrate the viability and profitability of organic farming. Critical to organic crop production is the integration of livestock as a source of on-farm fertility

Iowa school district considers selling turbine NORTHWOOD (AP) — The Northwood-Kensett school district is considering selling its wind turbine that it purchased over a decade ago.

The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that the school district bought the 250-kilowatt turbine in 2002 for about $68,000. Officials had planned for the equipment to be moved to the Northwood-Kensett school campus in Northwood, but it never happened.

The turbine remains at a wind farm, where it generates electricity that the district sells to Alliant Energy. Superintendent Mike Crozier says the equipment has generated about $4,050 in total profits over the past five years.

He says that, “If there’s a market out there, we’ll go ahead and sell it.” The district would formally advertise the turbine and open it up for bid if anyone shows interest and officials decide to sell.

Dale Raasch of Bridgewater Farm will discuss how he scaled-up his organic vegetable and livestock operation (chickens, cattle and hogs) and became certified organic to increase his markets.

Southern Iowa Resource Conservation and Development’s local foods coordinator, Alexi Groumoutis of Creston will round out the evening with her perspective on growing and marketing vegetables to meet the increasing interest in local foods.

This field day and workshop is recommended for farmers who market crops, livestock, vegetables or animal products and for processors who add value by baking, canning or processing animal and other food products.

Agricultural professionals will also benefit from the latest ISU research demonstrated at the farm.

“With the speed limit going to 25 from 20 by the

During a speed study, representatives collect speed data at locations along the highway using a laser speed gun, then use the data for analysis.
