The upper midwest has been hit by the worst nature can dish out the past few years with floods, tornadoes and blizzards. But apparently it has the leaders to handle those disasters. For the second year in a row President Clinton will present the Phoenix leadership award to a midwest mayor. Last year it went to Grand Forks North Dakota's Pat Owens for her work following the city's devastating 1997 flood and fire. Next week the Phoenix award will be given to a small town southern Minnesota mayor who's leadership helped energize a community left for dead by a tornado.
