To whom it may concern,

I am writing this on behalf of my wife, Sonia Nemec.

Sonia works hard to have a nice looking lawn! It gives her a lot of pleasure! To have someone deliberately try to destroy that lawn, with what appears to be a burn down chemical, is hard to understand. I can say without a doubt, it saddened and hurt her. She did not deserve this!

We have no idea why anyone would do this. She did make a call on some animals grazing on her lawn, in case they were being looked for.

At approximatesly 1:00 p.m. Saturday, July 3, 2010, there was a two vehicle crash nine miles west of Midland.

Joyce Jarman, age 74, Midland, was fatally injured.

A 2005 Buick LeSabre, driven by Jarman, entered US Highway 14 near mile marker 159 from a private driveway. It was struck in the passenger side by an eastbound 2000 Chrysler Voyager van, driven by Ryan Hennen, age 36, St. Paul, MN. Hennen attempted to avoid the collision but was unable to do so.

Around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, July 3, people in and around Philip were doing their own things. Some were still sleeping, others were still in bed watching TV, some were watching the kids while their spouse got ready for work, some were just getting into town to get some stuff done for the day's farm work.

Gary Stephenson and his brother, Boyd, who was visiting Gary for the July 4th holiday, were getting ready to go to coffee.
