Honor Century Farms Celebrate Washington County Owners
About 310 people gathered at K C Hall in Washington Thursday to honor Century Farm owners and managers. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Robert Lounsberry presented certificates designating each farm as official bicentennial century farms, and a gate sign was handed to mark their status. The farms must have been owned by the same family for at least 100 years, with 107 meeting the entry of at least 80 acres. Oldest participants include Craig Morgan and John R and Max T McClintie farms, both dating to 1839. Carl Hamilton spoke on Iowa history, introduced by Jim Frier, as Frank Kleese led remarks and the Bicentennial Chorus performed. The event was co-sponsored by the Washington County Farm Bureau, ISU Department of Agriculture, and the Bicentennial Committee.

Court to rule on food stamp rule change funds
A federal district judge in Washington must decide whether to lift a May 28 restraining order into a preliminary injunction on altering food stamp rules. The move could cut aid for about 8.6 million Americans though officials say net savings reach about 1 billion dollars and many participants would remain unaffected or better off. The policy would cap stamps for families with incomes no more than 100 dollars per month above the poverty line, currently 458 dollars for a family of four.

lenient Bergman sentence sparks uproar in New York
The four month jail term for former nursing home operator Bernard Bergman in a 1.2 million Medicaid fraud case drew sharp criticism from Special State Prosecutor Charles J. Hynes and Rep. Edward Koch. Hynes called the sentence extraordinary and a form of special justice for the privileged while Koch called it an outrage. Bergman, who pleaded guilty to two counts, will serve 120 days and may stay in a halfway house. He has agreed to repay 360,000 of about 2.5 million owed. State officials say they are not bound by the federal plea deal. He surrenders June 28.
