Ariz. Rep. Giffords wounded, 6 killed in shooting

By AMANDA LEE MYERS and DAVID ESPO Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — A gunman unloaded a semiautomatic weapon outside a busy supermarket Saturday during a public gathering for Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killing Arizona’s chief federal judge and five others in an attempted assassination that left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the sus-

pect over the edge.

The shooting targeted Giffords and left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her brain. A shaken President Barack Obama called the attack “a tragedy for our entire country.”

Giffords, 40, is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a tea party candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the health care law. Anger over her position

became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalized after the House passed the overhaul last March and someone showed up at a recent gathering with a weapon.

Police say the shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly.

Berg, Pomeroy react to shooting North Dakota Congressman Rick Berg says he is horrified by the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona.

Berg said in a statement Saturday the attack on Giffords and others was “senseless” and said his thoughts are with Giffords, her staff, those who were injured and their families.

Former Rep. Earl Pomeroy said he served three terms with Giffords.

The future of health care reform

THE DEBATE GOES ON The health care battle appears to be neverending.

Recent efforts at health care reform go back to the Carter administration. Last year, the Obama administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress passed major legislation.

However, the debate was fierce. It went beyond the halls of Congress with media advertising from numerous interest groups and both parties. The cost was high in money and political careers.

The November election saw many Democrats ousted, including Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. How they voted on the health bill contributed to their defeats.

Republicans, who control the House, promise to vote to repeal the measure this week. The Senate, however, remains in Democratic control and is unlikely to repeal the law.

But there will be efforts to change the law, even if piece by piece. And legal challenges are winding their way through the courts.

The Tribune today begins a three-part series looking at the health bill and its impact on individuals, businesses, hospitals and the state.

Reporters Sara Kincaid, Chris Bjorke and Rebecca Beitsch and photographers Mike McCleary and Tom Stromme collaborated for this special report.

Brenda Nagel, site manager for regional business customer operations at Aetna in Bismarck, said the company has trained the phone representatives on how to answer client questions about the implementation of the new health care reform law.

The health care fight is not over yet History of

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune Less than a year after landmark changes to health care were passed, the new law faces repeal by Republicans in the U.S. House. It took months of political maneuvering to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and then in the fall health care reform helped cost some politicians their seats, including former North Dakota Rep. Earl Pomeroy.

“It pains me so much, all the heat the congressional delegation took for standing up for families like us,” said Brenda Neubauer, whose son had reached the lifetime benefits cap on one insurance plan and was nearing the benefits cap on a second insurance plan.

Her son, Jacob, 16, has hemophilia, a disorder in which his blood does not clot. She spent many years work-

The federal overhaul of health care is a politically divisive issue that will change options in the country. It will top the agenda of this congres-

sional session and already its being challenged in court because of the mandate that all Americans purchase insurance. Although the House has enough votes by Republicans to repeal it, the effort will likely fail in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

It will be phased in over the next five years, and parts of it will be challenged in Congress. Most of the changes from the health care reform bill go into effect in 2014, although some started last September.

“When the debate started about the health care system, it was about making it more affordable to Americans, not about expanding access,” North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm said. “The fundamental problem is not access. The fundamental problem is affordability.”

By REBECCA BEITSCH Bismarck Tribune Health care long has been an issue, both for the public and throughout political campaigns.

Doing something about the rising costs of health care was a message heard in campaign platforms for some time, but until the Obama administration, little was accomplished.

By CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press WASHINGTON — The capital is a city of magnificent front entrances that people can’t enter.

On Constitution Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill, sweeping marble staircases, sculptures, manicured gardens and ornate doors beckoned citizens of the past. Now most stand empty and sealed.

The Supreme Court has become the latest to shoo people from its front steps, to the displeasure of several justices who think it’s wrong for an open society to close its most majestic portals.

Across the street, the U.S. Capitol now guides visitors into an underground center, clearing steps that the public once climbed. (The stairs feature a column behind which a member of Congress once had a furtive sexual encounter, although, it must be said, just with his wife.)

The vanishing welcome of Washington’s front doors is evident along most of Constitution Avenue, a thoroughfare and parade route lined on one side by the monuments and grounds of the National Mall and on the other by the headquarters of federal agencies and national or global institutions.

A lone guard on the great lawn of the Federal Reserve says the front is “pretty much off limits” because times have changed. The massive eagle above the entrance looks down on a chain stretching across the staircase and security barriers out by the sidewalk.

A Lonely Planet tour book calls the building a cross between a Greek temple and a Soviet bunker. First lady Eleanor Roosevelt saw ennobling qualities in the modernist Beaux Arts structure when the country was still in depression.

She commented in a 1938 column: “Unless we satisfy our sense of beauty in a public building, we have failed in one of its most important functions. We may not be able to live in houses which give us pleasure, but we certainly should be able to visit our government buildings and feel an esthetic satisfaction. I received that satisfaction from the Federal Reserve Building.”

Now, people can tour the Fed only in groups of 10 or more with two weeks’ notice or can call two days ahead to visit its art exhibits — all through the side door. The lobby has not been used routinely since the 1970s.

Do-Not-Enter front entrances are very much part of the neighborhood, starting with the American Pharmacists Association building at the western end of Constitution and the adjacent National Academy of Sciences headquarters, where magnolias border walkways from the avenue and old reflecting pools — now planting beds — were once stocked with exotic fish.

A 1937 report by the academy’s custodian speaks to an age when citizens had the run of front entrances and much that was inside. Paul

People walk by the closed front entrance of the Supreme Court in Washington on Aug. 28, 1958.

Brockett writes about the problem of keeping the building clean when visitors tromped in on damp days, counting 500 before 10 a.m. and 60,000 a year.

Massive bronze doors, embossed with the likes of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Darwin, slid open to greet them. Now, the building is closed for renovation. In normal times, the public is encouraged to use an unassuming entrance around the corner on C Street, although people can still get in the front doors with a photo ID to wander the Great Hall and see surrounding art exhibits.

A block away, the front doors of the Pan American Annex, another Constitution Avenue showpiece, bear signs steering visitors to an entrance by a Dumpster around the corner.

The White House, where Abraham Lincoln was routinely besieged by citizens who strolled uninvited into the mansion seeking jobs, favors, pardons and policies, has long been an ironfenced fortress due to security concerns. And for more than a decade, cars have been blocked from even driving past on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Few entrances have more historical significance to the nation at large than the 44 broad steps of the Supreme Court. In May, the court

closed the main entrance and began steering visitors and those who argue before the justices to the side of the stairway, through new security checks.

The court thus joined a Washington trend that puts it out of step with the world.

“To my knowledge,” Justice Steven Breyer said, “no other Supreme Court in the world — including those, such as Israel’s, that face security concerns equal to or greater than ours — has closed its main entrance to the public.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg added her name to his statement.

There’s a back story to the front steps that few people know but everyone is supposed to feel when ascending them.

Breyer, a student of architecture and history, said Cass Gilbert’s design created a choreographed, climbing path symbolizing a progression toward justice. The columns, sculptures, 1,300-pound bronze doors, Great Hall and finally the courtroom are meant as a journey to that ideal.

People can still leave through those doors and down those steps. But the iconic engraving on high, “Equal Justice Under Law,” now is behind their backs.

Surprise visit to Ivory Coast ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made an unannounced visit to Ivory Coast, arriving late Saturday for a private meeting with the country’s defiant president in a final effort to get him to cede power after losing the recent election.

A n A s s o c i a t e d Pre s s reporter was present when the Nigerian leader arrived at the luxury Pullman Hotel surrounded by bodyguards.

He declined to comment and was whisked away to his suite on the hotel’s ninth floor, where he spent around

an hour before re-emerging to head to the presidential palace.

Incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo has remained in office, insisting that he won — a victory handed to him by the head of the constitutional council, a member of his inner circle, who canceled votes from his opponent’s strongholds.

The spokesman for Alassanne Ouattara, who is considered to be the legitimate president-elect after results issued by the electoral commission, said that Obasanjo came to meet with Ouattara immediately after leaving

the palace.

A l i C o u l i b a l y, t h e spokesman, said that Obasanjo will see both leaders a second time today.

The international community has been unanimous in recognizing Ouattara as the winner of the election because the results issued by the electoral body were certified by the United Nations in accordance with a 2005 peace deal. The U.N. sent over 900 observers who fanned out across the country to watch as the votes were cast and who later reviewed results poll station-by-poll station.

Town OK with guns in kids’ rooms BIG PRAIRIE, Ohio (AP) — The guns were kept in the boy’s bedroom, resting on a rack mounted to the wall.

The one investigators say was used to kill his mother— a .22-caliber rifle — was found lying on his bed.

On a cold winter evening in Big Prairie, a rural hunting town, the 10-year-old boy picked up the rifle and shot his mother, 46-year-old Deborah McVay, in the head, authorities say. Relatives said mother and son had been arguing over chores: He did-

n’t want to carry firewood into the house.

The notion of a 10-yearold boy keeping a stash of weapons in his bedroom is a jolting one to some Americans, but not so in Big Prairie, where the sound of gunshots ricocheting through the air is familiar — even comforting.

Here, children learn to fire guns as easily as they learn to ride bicycles.

The child’s age exposes an age-old divide between rural and urban in a nation where 80 million people are regis-

tered gun owners. It also raises anew the question of whether children should have access to guns, let alone be permitted to keep loaded guns in their bedrooms.

In Big Prairie, as in many other areas with deep hunting cultures, the answer is a resounding yes.

“You’re in a rural area here, and a lot of people hunt,” says Sam Crawford, a 65-year-old gas station clerk.

“And we’re gonna teach our kids how to hunt and how to use a gun.”

Doc: Sharon responds to pinches JERUSALEM (AP) — The personal doctor of Ariel Sharon says the comatose former Israeli prime minister responds to pinches and opens his eyes when spoken to.

Dr. Shlomo Segev made the remarks in a program broadcast Saturday on Israeli television that coincided with the fifth anniversary of the massive stroke that incapacitated the ex-prime minister.

The 82-year-old Sharon is a former war hero who led Israel from 2001 until the 2006 stroke that left him comatose. Severe hemorrhaging caused significant brain damage and he has been in a vegetative state since.

Former Sharon spokesman Raanan Gissin told the AP there has been no change in Sharon’s condition.

Sharon was moved home in November, but Gissin said he has since been returned to the long-term care facility outside Tel Aviv for treatment.

40-vehicle pileup shuts I-93 in N.H. CANTERBURY, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire State Police say a chain-reaction interstate pileup of about 40 vehicles including two buses during whiteout conditions injured at least nine people. There are no reports of fatalities.

Nursing supervisor Angelique Dixon at Concord Hospital says none of the injuries are life-threatening and that most of the injured are expected to be treated and released from the hospital.

The early afternoon accident shut down the southbound side of Interstate 93 in Canterbury, about 10 miles north of Concord. Police say it was snowing and the road was ice-covered.

The interstate was reopened after about two hours.

Hostages kidnapped in Niger killed PARIS (AP) — Two French hostages kidnapped in the Niger capital were killed by their captors despite a rescue attempt by French forces, President Nicolas Sarkozy said in a statement Saturday.

The hostages were found dead at the Niger-Mali border after French troops there clashed with the kidnappers, killing several of them, a statement from Defense Minister Alain Juppe said.

President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned the killings as a “cowardly and barbaric act.�

The two French victims, who have not been identified, were kidnapped by four armed men while dining at a restaurant Friday night in the Niger capital, Niamey.

Package triggers anthrax memories WASHINGTON (AP) — Postal workers who returned to work Saturday said a package that ignited at a government mail facility conjured painful memories of the anthrax attacks that killed two of their colleagues in 2001.

The fiery package found Friday, which was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, followed two packages that ignited Thursday in Maryland state government mailrooms. It halted government mail until bomb-sniffing dogs could sweep the D.C. facility.

Mail processing resumed Saturday morning after a meeting with workers, the local postmaster and the workers’ union.

Postal workers union President Dena Briscoe said that the meeting was helpful but that the fiery package worried many employees.

Al-Sadr criticizes U.S. NAJAF, Iraq (AP) — Muqtada al-Sadr lambasted the American “enemy� in Iraq during his first speech in the country since returning from exile, fiery rhetoric from a new powerbroker in the government that will make it difficult to extend the U.S. military deployment beyond the end of this year.

The young Shiite cleric once blamed for some of the country’s worst sectarian violence also told his followers that such bloodshed would no longer be tolerated and appealed to them to show unity in the face of the country’s many problems.

The 35-minute speech in the Shiite holy city of Najaf was a public debut for the young cleric after nearly four years in voluntary exile in neighboring Iran, and it seemed at times like a combination of a rock concert and religious sermon. After walking out to a podium

draped in black cloth, alSadr had to wait almost a full five minutes for the rapturous crowd of around 20,000 people to quiet down enough for him to speak.

Some of the young men packed into the street outside the cleric’s family home in Najaf slept on the ground with only cardboard slabs to protect them from the cold concrete. It gave them a prime seat to see their idol, and much of the crowd was openly weeping when alSadr took the stage. The young men pressed up against the concrete barriers and security guards, and after the cleric left, hundreds of supporters lingered by the podium, as though hoping for an encore performance.

Those in Najaf and thousands of Iraqis across the nation watching on TV saw a performance focused on the issue that has been the cor-

nerstone of the cleric’s ideology and popularity: resistance to any American presence in Iraq. “We are still resisters, and we are still resisting the occupier militarily and culturally and by all the means of resistance. Repeat after me: No, no for the occupier.

Let’s have all the world hear that Iraqi people reject the occupier,� he shouted. The crowd thundered along with him, pumping their fists in the air.

Unlike many Iraqi politicians who lived in exile while Saddam Hussein was in power, al-Sadr remained in Iraq — a fact that has earned him much of his popularity.

Just a few hundred yards from where al-Sadr spoke Saturday stands a small memorial marking the spot where the cleric’s father and two brothers were gunned down, allegedly by Saddam’s agents.

Scientist: Overfishing has ended BOSTON (AP) — For the first time in at least a century, U.S. fishermen won’t take too much of any species from the sea, one of the nation’s top fishery scientists says.

The projected end of overfishing comes during a turbulent fishing year that’s seen New England fishermen switch to a radically new management system.

But scientist Steve Murawski said that for the first time in written fishing history, which goes back to 1900, “As far as we know, we’ve hit the right levels, which is a milestone.� “And this isn’t just a decadal milestone, this is a century phenomenon,� said Murawski, who retired last week as chief scientist at the Na t i o n a l O c e a n i c a n d Atmospheric Administration’s Fisheries Service.

Murawski said it’s more than a dramatic benchmark — it also signals the coming of increasingly healthy stocks and better days for fishermen who’ve suffered financially. In New England, the fleet has deteriorated since the mid-1990s from 1,200 boats to only about 580, but Murawski believes fishermen may have already endured their worst times. “I honestly think that’s true, and that’s why I think it’s a newsworthy event,� said Murawski, now a professor at the University of South Florida.

But fishermen and their advocates say ending overfishing came at an unnecessarily high cost. Dave Marciano fished out of Gloucester, an hour’s drive northeast of Boston, for three decades

until he was forced to sell his fishing permit in June. He said the new system made it too costly to catch enough fish to stay in business. “It ruined me,� said Marciano, 45. “We could have ended overfishing and had a lot more consideration for the human side of the fishery.�

An end to overfishing doesn’t mean all stocks are h e a l t h y, b u t s c i e n t i s t s believe it’s a crucial step to getting there.

When fishermen are overfishing a species, they’re catching it at a rate scientists believe is too fast to ensure that the species can rebuild and then stay healthy. It’s different from when a species is overfished, which is when scientists believe its population is too low.

Portuguese TV star in NYC slain, castrated NEW YORK (AP) — A celebrity Portuguese television journalist was found castrated and bludgeoned to death in a New York City hotel, and his companion, a male model who had recently been a contestant on a Portuguese reality TV show, was in police custody Saturday.

The journalist, 65-yearold Carlos Castro, had arrived in the U.S. in late December in the company of his young boyfriend, the model Renato Seabra, to see some Broadway shows and spend New Year’s Eve in Times Square, according to a family friend.

There had been some friction between the two men toward the end of the trip, but nothing to suggest that anything horrible was about to happen, said the friend, Luis Pires, the editor of the Portuguese language newspaper Luso-Americano. “I think that they were a little bit upset with each other, for jealousy reasons,� Pires told The Associated Press.

Castro, who also was a columnist in Portugal, was admired there for his bravery in coming out as a gay man and “revealing the feminine side of his personality,� said Rui Pedro Tendinha, a film critic who knew Castro.

He was a high-profile public figure as a television personality, Tendinha said. “The way he died is causing a big commotion in Portugal,� he said.

WikiLeaks subpoenas spilling into public realm

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER and PETE YOST Associated Press

Dec. 14, the newly disclosed documents sent to Twitter Inc. by the U.S. attorney’s office in Alexandria, Va., demand details about the a c c o u n t s o f Wi k i L e a k s founder Julian Assange and Pfc.

WASHINGTON — Investigative documents in the WikiLeaks probe spilled out into the public domain Saturday for the first time, pointing to the Obama administration’s determination to assemble a criminal case no matter how long it takes and how far afield authorities have to go.

Backed by a magistrate judge’s court order from

one-time WikiLeaks collaborator; Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp; and U.S. programmer Jacob Appelbaum.

Gonggrijp and Appelbaum have worked with WikiLeaks in the past.

Ju s t i c e D e p a r t m e n t spokesman Matt Miller declined comment on the disclosure in the case, which intensified following WikiLeaks’ latest round of revelations with the posting of classified State Department diplomatic cables. The next day, Nov. 29, Attorney Gener-

al Eric Holder vowed that anyone found to have violated U.S. law in the leaks would be prosecuted.

Assange said the U.S. move amounted to harassment and pledged to fight it.

“If the Iranian government was to attempt to coercively obtain this information from journalists and activists of foreign nations, human rights groups around the world would speak out,” he told The Associated Press in an e-mail.

Legal experts have said

one possible avenue for federal prosecutors would be to establish a conspiracy to steal classified information.

“They are trying to show that Manning was more than a source of the information to a reporter and rather that Assange and Manning were trying to jointly steal information from the U.S. government,” said Mark Rasch, a former prosecutor on computer crime and espionage cases in the Justice Department.

The problem is distin-

guishing between WikiLeaks as a news organization and those who re-published the same classified information, like The New York Times, said Rasch, director of cybersecurity and privacy consulting at CSC, a Falls Church, Va., technology company.

“How do they prosecute?” asked Rasch. “The answer is by establishing a unity of interest between Manning and Assange. Make it a theft case and not just a journalist publishing information case.”

N.D. delegation wants to change health care law

By REBECCA BEITSCH Bismarck Tribune North Dakota’s two Republican additions to its congressional delegation have made clear their intentions for the health care law: repeal it.

Health care reform was a major campaign point for Rep. Rick Berg. The former state legislator has made no bones about a law he says is partially unconstitutional and burdensome on taxpayers and businesses. Sen. John Hoeven is no fan of the bill, either.

Both said they plan to vote for the repeal of the health care law when it is introduced.

“The Pledge for America,” Berg said, “on that the commitment was to repeal the health care bill.”

Berg has signed on as a cosponsor of the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act,” a House bill.

The two men have slightly different takes on the likelihood of success of the repeal effort.

Berg said he’s fairly confident the measure will pass the House, but is unsure of its prospects in the Senate or if it will be vetoed by President Barack Obama.

Hoeven has a less positive

right, they are not being honest,” Conrad said.

“Those things would help,” Conrad said later about tort reform and health savings accounts, “but they don’t touch the size of the problem.”

Conrad said he doesn’t think a repeal will pass the Senate, and there are a number of financial reasons it shouldn’t.

“If they do that, they will add a trillion and a half dollars to the debt,” Conrad said of the savings from the law.

“Where are they going to get the trillion and a half dollars?

Are they going to increase the debt by one and a half trillion? Are taxes to make up for that? Are they going to cut other places in the budget by 1.5 trillion dollars?”

Conrad said people on both sides of the aisle are guilty of making the health care fix sound easier than it is.

“This is where rhetoric runs into reality,” Conrad said.

“The reality here is a lot tougher than anyone was talking about on the campaign trail. ... Virtually everyone running for office was not squaring with the American people how serious this problem is.”

He said it’s also time for Democrats to let go of some of their own sacred cows.

“The left says you don’t touch the entitlements. Really?” Conrad said. “You don’t touch Social Security, you don’t touch Medicare. Both of those are headed for bankruptcy, so you don’t touch them? Guess what? The pro-

grams fail. Is that really what we should permit to happen?”

The debate, it appears, is far from over. With repeal as a long shot in the Senate, both sides will have to work to amend and protect the portions of the law they like.

Conrad said Democrats shouldn’t be bitter about the last health care debate and should be open to a new one.

He said he’ll be joining Hoeven and Berg in pushing for tort reform. The three may be parting ways when it comes to health savings accounts.

Conrad sees them as mainly beneficial to the wealthy and not central to reform.

Despite the looming debate, ardent opponents of the bill still have a few tricks in their playbook.

Berg said he’s still waiting on the courts to look at the constitutionality of many of the portions of the law, particularly the mandate that everyone buy insurance.

Another tactic, Berg said, is to try to stall the law from taking effect by not approving funding for various jobs and programs created under it.

“We’ll try to freeze it,” Berg said.

vide. There also was significant discussion of issues like “death panels” and taxpayerfunded abortion.

The so-called death panels were never part of the bill and were a misrepresentation of a discussion surrounding the encouragement of families to have an end-of-life health care plan in place for ailing relatives.

To address the abortion issue, Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., introduced an amendment that would bar government money from being spent on abortions.

Some Republicans and Democrats still questioned whether the amendment would be effective, so President Barack Obama signed an executive order to prevent federal money from funding abortions.

The House version of the bill would linger there over the summer, but it also would evolve.

Republicans began to take issue with cuts to Medicare and proposed taxes on the wealthiest Americans that would pay for the bill and the imposi-

tions on small businesses.

By the late summer of 2009, some liberal Democrats were angry with Obama for dropping portions of the plan they considered pivotal — mainly a public option plan for the middle class — in an effort to appease Republicans who still opposed the bill and were clamoring for tort reform and tax credits for small businesses and the selfemployed.

When Congress came back into session in the fall of 2009, Obama became more defensive of health care reform and put more pressure on Congress to stop bickering. But fall also would bring one of the proposals must offensive to Republicans: fining Americans who chose not to buy insurance coverage.

A Senate proposal would come out a few days later that would fuel the intense debate. Not long after that, House Democrats would add a tax on high-cost “Cadillac” insurance plans to their proposal — a move Republicans said would raise the costs of insurance for everyone.

By October, Democrats began their own counterattack on Republicans, asking, “Where’s your plan?” Still, there was infighting among liberals and moderates within the Democratic Party as they tried to fulfill Obama’s mission.

By late October 2009, the Senate bill had made it to the floor, and in early November the House bill did the same.

But reviews of both bills showed they would actually raise the cost of health care over time.

Republicans called the plans a collection of tax increases, Medicare cuts and heavy new burdens for deficit-ridden states, but the bill got a renewed push after t h e d e a t h o f S e n . Te d Kennedy later in November.

Democrats began tinkering with the bills, expanding Medicaid, dropping provisions meant to help the middle class and reforming the insurance industry by removing caps and requiring coverage of pre-existing conditions.

The House passed its bill in late November, the Senate

Continued from 1A passed its bill on Christmas Eve. The two chambers would need to agree on one bill and pass it through both houses before it could be signed by Obama. The election of Republican Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts, however, put the Senate Democrats’ 60 vote majority in jeopardy.

As the bill lingered, Republicans complained it cost too much and they were opposed to raising taxes.

They wanted to take a more long-term approach in getting coverage for the uninsured.

In an effort to get the debate back on track, Obama hosted a bipartisan summit, but neither side gained any ground.

Democrats quickly got to work building consensus within their own party, and ultimately pushed the bill to a vote on March 21. The bill passed strictly along party lines without a single Republican vote.

requires that everyone who can purchase health insurance for less than 8 percent of their household income do so or pay a tax penalty.

■ Lifetime limit — Many health insurance plans place dollar limits upon the claims that the insurer will pay over the course of an individual’s life. Health reform prohibits lifetime limits on benefits beginning last fall.

■ Limited benefits plan — A type of health plan that provides coverage for only certain specified health care services or treatments or provides coverage for health care services or treatments for a certain amount during a specified period.

■ Long-term care insurance — Long-term care insurance provides coverage for the day-to-day care that a person receives in a nursing facility or in his or her residence following an illness or injury, or in old age, such that the person can no longer perform at least two of the five basic activities of daily living: walking, eating, dressing, using the bathroom and mobility from one place to another. Benefits paid under a long-term care insurance policy will typically be subject to a waiting period (for example, 90 days); a benefit period (for example, five years); and a daily amount (for example, $100 per day). The combination of these benefit provisions help to determine the premium to be paid for such a policy.

■ Mandated benefit — A requirement in state or federal law that all health insurance policies provide coverage for a

specific health care service.

■ Medical loss ratio — The percentage of health insurance premiums that are spent by the insurance company on health care services.

Health reform requires that large group plans spend 85 percent of premiums on clinical services and other activities for the quality of care for enrollees. Small group and individual market plans must devote 80 percent of premiums to these purposes.

■ Medicare Advantage — An option Medicare beneficiaries can choose to receive most or all of their Medicare benefits through a private insurance company. Also known as Medicare Part C. Plans contract with the federal government and are required to offer at least the same benefits as original Medicare, but may follow different rules and may offer additional benefits. Unlike original Medicare, enrollees may not be covered at any health care provider that accepts Medicare, and may be required to pay higher costs if they choose an out-ofnetwork provider or one outside of the plan’s service area.

■ Medicare Part D — Medicare offers prescription drug coverage for everyone with Medicare through this program. Medicare prescript i o n d r u g c ov e r a g e i s obtained by joining a Part D plan (sometimes called PDPs) offered by an insurance company or other private company approved by Medicare.

Each plan can vary in cost and drugs covered. In addition to obtaining Medicare prescript i o n d r u g c ov e ra g e by

enrolling in a Part D plan, coverage also can be obtained by purchasing a Medicare Advantage plan, which includes prescription drugs as part of their benefit package (sometimes called MAPDs).

■ Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Insurance — Private insurance policies that can be purchased to “fill-in the gaps” and pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses (like deductibles and coinsurance) not covered by original Medicare (Part A and Part B).

■ Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) — Legislation (Public Law 111-148) signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010.

Commonly referred to as the health care reform law.

■ Pre-existing condition exclusion — The period of time that an individual receives no benefits under a health benefit plan for an illness or medical condition for which an individual received medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment within a specified period of time prior to the date of enrollment in the health benefit plan.

PPACA prohibits pre-existing condition exclusions for all plans beginning January 2014.

■ Preventive benefits — Covered services that are intended to prevent disease or to identify disease while it is more easily treatable. Health reform requires insurers to provide coverage for preventive benefits without deductibles, co-payments or coinsurance.

■ Provider — A health care provider, most commonly

referring to as a physician.

■ Qualified health plan — A health insurance policy that is sold through an Exchange.

Health reform requires Exchanges to certify that qualified health plans meet minimum standards contained in the law.

■ Reinsurance — Insurance purchased by insurers from other insurers to limit the total loss an insurer would experience in case of a disaster or unexpectedly high claims. Health reform directs states to create temporary reinsurance programs to stabilize their individual markets during the implementation of health reform.

■ Rescission — The process of voiding a health plan from its inception usually based on the grounds of material misrepresentation or omission on the application for insurance coverage that would have resulted in a different decision by the health insurer with respect to issuing coverage. PPACA prohibits rescissions except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a relevant fact.

■ Self-insured — Group health plans may be selfinsured or fully insured. A plan is self-insured (or self-funded), when the employer assumes the financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees. A plan is fully insured when all benefits are guaranteed under a contract of insurance that transfers that risk to an insurer.

outlook on the prospects in his own chamber.

“I think that would likely pass in the House. In the Senate, probably not, because you still have a majority of Democrats,” Hoeven said.

“Even if it did, obviously President Obama would veto it.”

Hoeven said the most likely scenario is a repeal and replace effort, where Republicans would have to amend various sections of the law.

It’d be a tedious process, but it could mean Republicans may get some of their own proposals passed.

Hoeven and Berg, along with many other Republicans, have been clamoring for tort reform, which would put limits on medical malpractice lawsuits. They also want to expand health savings accounts, allowing Americans to save more tax-free money for medical bills. Republicans want to encourage more competition from insurance companies across state lines.

Democrats criticized Republicans throughout the health care debate for not supplying solutions and have questioned whether minor tweaks would be enough to reform the broken system.

Berg and Hoeven don’t deny it’s a system that needs changing. Sen. Kent Conrad,

the one Democrat in the state’s congressional delegation, said it’s going to take more than a few minor changes.

“For people to run around and suggest you don’t have to do much, on the left and the

and Democrats butted heads over what type of taxes would fund reform. That is where the term reconciliation entered public conversation. Though it would irritate Republicans, reconciliation would limit debate on the budget to 20 hours and would require only a simple majority to pass, skirting the issue of needing a 60-vote supermajority to avoid a filibuster.

Progress was made over the early summer of 2009.

Sen. Kent Conrad’s idea of creating health care exchanges replaced plans for government-run health care, though the government-run plan wouldn’t be dropped until later. A bill began to form in the House that would put more pressure on companies to provide insurance to employees and require insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions.

But as legislation began to form, the debate would intensify.

Republicans and Democrats fought over who would be taxed, the merits and faults of the plan and the quality of care it would pro-

History spearheaded by Hilary Clinton, but they were later abandoned.

Health care reform also was part of the Obama campaign in 2008, and after the new Congress was sworn in in January 2009, it got to work on an overhaul of the health system. It would take more than a year and a half for legislators to craft, debate and pass a bill.

Once sworn in, legislators quickly abandoned the idea of a single-payer system in which the government pays for health care coverage for citizens, as is the case in Great Britain and other countries in Europe.

Even with a single-payer system off the table, the health care debate hit a snag over whether the government should provide a public option for health care to the middle class in competition with private insurance companies. Republicans opposed that idea in March 2009, more than a year in advance of when the bill would pass.

Mo re d i s a g re e m e n t s would follow.

When it came to how to pay for reform, Republicans

GLOSSARY OF TERMS Terms used in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: ■ Adjusted community rating — Adjusted community rating is between individual age rating (under which each person has their own premium), and pure community rating (under which there is only one premium applicable to all). “Adjusted community rating, allowing variation for age” permits rates that vary by age, but the highest premium cannot be more than double the lowest premium (2:1 max).

■ Annual limit — Many health insurance plans place dollar limits upon the claims the insurer will pay over the course of a plan year. Health reform prohibits annual limits for essential benefits for plan years beginning last fall.

■ Coinsurance — A percentage of a health care provider’s charge for which the patient is financially responsible under the terms of the policy.

■ Community rating — A way of pricing insurance, where every policyholder pays the same premium, regardless of health status, age or other factors.

■ Essential benefits — Health reform requires all health insurance plans sold after 2014 to include a basic package of benefits including hospitalization, outpatient services, maternity care, prescription drugs, emergency care and preventive services, and other benefits. It also places restrictions on the amount of cost-sharing that patients must pay for these services.

■ Guaranteed issue —

Guaranteed issue is the right to purchase insurance without a physical examination; the present and past physical condition of the applicant are not considered.

■ He a l t h i n s u r a n c e exchange — Health insurance exchanges are entities that organize the market for health insurance by assembling individuals and small businesses into larger pools that spread the risk for insurance companies, while facilitating the availability, choice and purchase of health insurance.

■ Health savings account — The Medicare bill signed by President Bush on Dec. 8, 2003, created HSAs. Individuals covered by a qualified high deductible health plan (and have no other first dollar coverage) are able to open an HSA on a tax preferred basis to save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses.

Additional information about HSAs can be found on the U.S. Tr e a s u r y We b s i t e : www.treas.gov/offices/public-affairs/hsa.

■ High risk pool — A statesubsidized health plan that provides coverage for individuals with pre-existing health care conditions who cannot purchase it in the private market. Health reform creates a temporary federal high risk pool program, administered by the states, to provide coverage to individuals with preexisting conditions who have been uninsured for at least 6 months.

■ Individual mandate — A requirement that everyone maintain health insurance coverage. Health reform

Ariz. Rep. Giffords

Continued from 1A

MIKE McCLEARY/Tribune

Dr. Craig Lambrecht, left, president and chief executive officer of Medcenter One Health Systems, and Dr. Anthony Tello will see several changes to health insurance with the implementation of the new federal health care reform.

Instead, the bill will likely raise health care costs over time, unless portions of it are changed or repealed, Hamm said. One area where the costs likely will increase is insurance premiums. For instance, Aetna is reprogramming its plans so that it reflects its adoption of the dependent coverage to age 26. Previously, plans covered dependent children until age 22 or 24 if they were students.

The cost of an insurance plan depends on what is covered. Generally, the more covered services, the greater the cost of the plan.

“Insurance premiums w i l l h a v e t h e g re a t e s t impact,” said Brenda Nagel with Aetna. “Health care costs are still rising. No one, as a nation, has addressed health care costs.”

Large employers most likely already offer some of the coverage the law now requires. It is the smaller group plans and individual plan markets that will probably see greater increases because of the need to add coverage to their plans.

Fo r e xam p l e, Ae tna, which has 500 employees in North Dakota, already covers preventive care for its employees. Preventive care includes exams and tests that can help detect potential health issues before they become more costly to treat.

Other businesses may not offer this coverage, which is required under the new law.

More importantly, it will change how people get health insurance and who gets covered, as well as mandate what course of treatment health care facilities provide and to use electronic medical records to exchange patient information.

One of the biggest changes is to health insurance. More people will qualify for Medicare, and people will be required to have health insurance, or face a fine. Tax credits also will be available to some people based on income to help defray the cost of insurance. it also eliminates pre-existing condition exemptions and lifetime caps on coverage, as well as covering dependent children up to age 26.

Businesses need to offer group plans to employees or p r ov i d e a v o u c h e r f o r employees to buy health insurance elsewhere.

For health care providers in North Dakota, the bill is a blessing and a curse. It included a provision that increased Medicare reimbursement rates, but it also has provisions for technology and reporting that will cost the providers additional money in equipment and personnel.

The bill included the frontier states amendment, which raises the Medicare reimbursement rate to the national average for five states, including North Dakota. The change means an extra $65 million a year in Medicare funding for North Dakota, which receives about one-third to one-half less in Medicare reimbursement than what a hospital

“Our request all along was for fair reimbursement for Medicare,” said Medcenter One CEO Craig Lambrecht.

Health care facilities will need to adhere to stricter surveillance and auditing, as well as agree to a common course of treatment for certain chronic diseases.

The hospital is anticipating more people will seek health care because they have insurance, said Dr. Anthony Tello, corporate medical director at Medcenter One. As it is, there are some uninsured people who do not seek health care. In the long run, the uninsured are likely to require more costly medical services because they did not see a doctor before something catastrophic happens. It also is likely to reduce the number of uninsured people who go to the emergency rooms.

Instead, those people are likely to go to clinics, Tello said.

Additionally, hospitals will have to report how they manage common chronic medical conditions. People then will be able to search for the information through a website.

Facilities also need to implement electronic medical records. For Medcenter One, this is already used in its clinics. It will need to be implemented in the hospital, Tello said.

The law also requires providers to adhere to a common course of treatment for diseases and illnesses. Through the quality control reports, the providers will show what evidenced-based treatment they provide.

Te l l o w o r r i e s t h a t increased use will require them to hire more physicians, which is already difficult to do in North Dakota, especially if they are specialists, he said. That is because wages tend to be lower than in more populated parts of the country, and the location does not attract as many job candidates.

There is some fear among North Dakota health care facilities that they will not be able to comply with the mandates and consequently close, said Jerry Jurena, the president of the North Dakota Hospital Association.

“It’s not a perfect bill,” Jurena said.

For the Neubauer family, though, it eases their concerns about how Jacob will continue treatment.

“We worked many, many years and made trips to Washington because it is important,” Neubauer said.

“He will have to deal with it for the rest of his life.”

For now, he has the insurance to afford it.

U.S. says American woman is free WASHINGTON (AP) — An American woman reportedly arrested in Iran for espionage has been located by U.S. officials and is safe and not in Iranian custody, the State Department said Saturday.

“We have located the U.S. citizen who appears to have been the subject of the reports and confirmed that the individual is safe,” spokesman Mark Toner said. “She is not in Iran.”

Continued from 1A It’s still not clear if Loughner had the health care debate in mind or was focused on his own unique set of political beliefs, many outlined in rambling videos and postings on the Internet.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik described the gunman as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice. He said Giffords was among 13 people wounded in the melee that killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl, an aide for the Democratic lawmaker and U.S. District Judge John Roll, who had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after celebrating Mass. Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman.

The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it centered in Arizona.

“When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” he said. “And unfortunately, Arizona, I think, has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”

Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview

after her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin’s decision to list Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections.

“For example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action,” Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC. In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her “sincere condolences” to the family of Giffords and the other victims.

During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pictured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon and promoting the event.

“I don’t see the connection” between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday’s shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly’s spokesman. “I don’t know this person, we cannot find

and wonderful person who is widely regarded as one of the nicest, most pleasant and best liked members of Congress,” Pomeroy said in a statement. “I am sickened that such a contemptible attack would be made against my friend, Gabby, members of her staff, and other members of the general public. It’s unthinkable ... that such dedicated public servants would be gunned down while performing their duties.” any records that he was associated with the campaign in any way. I just don’t see the connection.

“Arizona is a state where people are firearms owners — this was just a deranged individual,” hea said.

Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill, and Giffords was among the targets.

The shooting cast a pall over the Capitol as politicians of all stripes denounced the attack as horrific. Capitol police asked members of Congress to be more vigilant about security in the wake of the shooting.

G i f f o r d s , k n ow n a s “Gabby,” tweeted shortly before the shooting, describing her “Congress on Your Corner” event: “My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on

your mind or tweet me later.”

“It’s not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does, listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbors,” Obama said. “That is the essence of what our democracy is about.”

Mark Kimball, a communications staffer for Giffords, described the scene as “just complete chaos, people screaming, crying.”

The gunman fired at Giffords and her district director and started shooting indiscriminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the congresswoman, Kimball said.

“He was not more than three or four feet from the congresswoman and the district director,” he said.

Doctors were optimistic about Giffords surviving as she was responding to commands from doctors.

“With guarded optimism, I hope she will survive, but this is a very devastating wound,” said Dr. Richard Carmona, the former surgeon general who lives in Tucson.

Developer works backstage A company rarely in the news these days made an appearance last month.

By CHRISTOPHER BJORKE Bismarck Tribune

CHRISTOPHER BJORKE

The Bismarck-Mandan Development Association and the city of Bismarck announced in December that the city was recouping $1.15 million from Bismarck Industries. The name might have puzzled some people reading about the business that does not advertise, does not sell products and has no paid positions but has played a role in many of the city’s economic projects.

“Its mission is to encourage economic development in Bismarck,” according to its treasurer, Bruce Whittey, who said the group preferred to work behind the scenes.

The for-profit company is run by a small board of local business people who use the organization’s money to make strategic deals to attract employers to town. It started in 1957 with an investment of $100,000 and its first project was a building for Kirschmann Manufacturing that became the Bobcat facility in Bismarck. It was later involved in purchasing Soo Line right-ofways and investing in properties for Unisys and Coventry Health.

All profits go back into the company, Whittey said.

“They mainly step in when there’s not another way to get a deal done,” said Kelvin Hullet, president of the Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce, which provides support staff.

Whittey said the company has not had many requests to participate in projects in recent years.

Companies moving America’s Home Loans has purchased a downtown office building and began moving last weekend.

The mortgage finance company is moving from its location on South Washington Street to 110 N. Third St., the former offices of the North Dakota School Boards Association, which built new offices on Owens Avenue in north Bismarck.

Owner Darin Ketterling said that he was happy to own his office space rather than lease it, but he also likes what he saw downtown.

“It’s appealing,” he said.

“Downtown is getting stronger and stronger.”

The company employs seven people, according to Ketterling.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is expanding in Bismarck and opening new offices on the south side of town.

The financial services company is moving into new offices at 600 S. Second St. Office manager Gloria Braxmeyer said three associates were moving to the new location.

The company will keep its current offices at 4007 N. State St. (Reach reporter Christopher Bjorke at 250-8261 or chris.bjorke@bismarcktribune. com.)

Some time in 1911, a German immigrant who heard about Bismarck through a promotional brochure took a chance and opened a foundry to make whatever the town needed, from locomotive parts to iron crosses for graveyards.

A century later, a fourth generation is carrying on that improvisational style, machining made-to-order pieces for industry and carving out a place for itself as a vital part of the mining industry’s maintenance needs.

“It’s just by the seat of your pants,” said Kris Lengenfelder, president of Modern Machine Works, the company started by his great-grandfather, Adolf Kutchera, 100 years ago this year.

The company’s ability to create pieces of its own design for draglines and other big machines has earned the family operation around $3 million in annual sales and jobs across the United States and Canada.

“We’ve been extremely busy in the last 10 years doing what we do,” Lengenfelder said. “We didn’t have to go into one thing or specialize in one thing.”

Kutchera opened his business at the corner of 10th Street and Front Avenue, when the property was bordered by train tracks and open prairie. He served the local need for metal work and adapted to new technologies like the automobile, later developing an auto parts business. Kutchera sold the operation to his adopted son, William Lengenfelder Sr., who ran the company for 40 years and oriented its work toward the mining industry, which accounts for about 90 percent of what it does.

“The key to this business is my grandfather, William Sr.,” Lengenfelder said. “If there was an anchor, it was him.”

Kris Lengenfelder took over the business from his uncle, Pat Lengenfelder, in 1997, a few years out of the University of North Dakota, where he studied mechanical engineering.

“I went to school and didn’t even

BISMARCK’S OLDEST Few companies in Bismarck have made it to the century mark.

Knowles Jewelry has been in business at 119 N. Fourth St. since 1907. It changed owners over the years, and Brian Peterson purchased it in 1984.

H.A. Thompson & Sons, established in 1908, is close behind and is still in the Thompson family. President Mark Thompson, grandson of founder Harry, has worked at the business since 1975, according to the company’s website.

Corwin Churchill Motors, now Ryan Chrysler Dodge Jeep, is nearing 100 years. It dates back to 1914.

The oldest business in town is the Bismarck Tribune, established in 1873.

— Christopher Bjorke Allen Knoll, maintenance manager for the Falkirk Mine, said the mining company has done business with the Lengenfelders almost since it began digging coal. A company that services draglines — machines that dwarf many buildings in size — is convenient to have so near to the mine, but Modern Machine Works’ ability to rebuild the drums that pull up the cables attached to the dragline’s bucket is something hard to find elsewhere.

“I think there’s him and probably one other company in the States that do that,” Knoll said.

Ford says change has bred success

By DEE-ANN DURBIN and TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writers DEARBORN, Mich. — In every boom cycle of its 107year life, Ford Motor Co. became complacent, unprepared for the inevitable bust in the auto business.

From the 1920s, when Ford lost its dominant position in the U.S. because it was slow to update the Model T, to the 2000s, when it squandered billions in SUV profits and narrowly avoided bankruptcy, the company stuck with some strategies too long and didn’t pay enough attention to others.

“You often hear people at Ford say we can’t manage prosperity. I think it’s really quite different than that. It’s that we stop changing,” Executive Chairman Bill Ford told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

Now, coming off a great 2010, Executive Chairman Bill Ford and Alan Mulally, the man who replaced Ford as CEO four years ago, say they are ready to break that cycle. Mulally has transformed the company into a simpler, nimbler organization that’s ready to react to change more quickly. Management experts aren’t so sure.

Thanks to strong new products and stumbles at rivals like General Motors and Toyota, Ford saw the industry’s biggest increases in market share. It had the best-selling vehicle — the F-Series pickup — and ended 2010 with its second straight annual profit. Ford’s U.S. sales rose 20 percent, almost double the industrywide increase.

Mulally laid the groundwork. He cut brands and put in place a system that encourages managers to stay on top of market changes and other issues

and communicate more openly with each other. It was a radical change at company known for vicious infighting, where managers who pointed out problems w e re d e m o n i z e d . T h e healthier communication in Ford’s top ranks means it’s much more likely the company will hire its next CEO from within the company instead of turning to another outsider like Mulally.

Mulally, 65, won’t say when he plans to retire.

Management experts say it’s easy to talk about a willingness to change and much harder to do it, especially after pulling off a remarkable comeback like Mulally did after coming to Ford from airplane maker Boeing Co. “Act two is always very, very hard,” said Joe Bower, a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. “There are leaders who can do it, but it requires a tremendous willingness to imagine the need to rethink everything.”

Consider Ford in 2000.

Flush with profits from sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, it earned $3.5 billion and bought the Land Rover luxury brand from BMW. Just one year later, hammered by the faltering economy and a slow reaction to a recall of Firestone tires use on its SUVs, Fo rd l o s t $ 5 b i l l i o n , announced a plan to cut 35,000 jobs and fired its CEO. Bill Ford held the reins until he hired Mulally.

Even now, Ford is facing some demons, including the recent recall of 600,000 Windstar minivans whose axles can break and questions from Consumer Reports, which says its MyFordTouch dashboard touchscreen is too distracting. The company says it reacted quickly to the Windstar issue and will study

Consumer Reports’ findings but believes its system is safe.

Ford and Mulally say management can respond faster to such crises because of changes Mulally made. He instituted weekly meetings with the entire 18-member executive team, ensuring that all of Ford’s leaders are constantly examining worldwide market conditions, future products and other issues. He also simplified the company’s mission, getting rid of excess brands like Land Rover, Volvo and Mercury so Ford could concentrate on its core Ford and Lincoln brands. The company is now consolidating Lincoln dealerships and trying to take the brand even further upscale in order to revive its flagging sales.

“Everybody now knows why they’re coming to Ford.

They know why they’re coming in in the morning. They know what success looks like,” Mulally said.

Success, though, has a natural tendency to make a company smug. Experts say management teams continue to do what made them prosperous, believing that the formula will always work. Bill Ford, 53, the greatg ra n d s o n o f c o m p a n y founder Henry Ford, says he’s seen it many times in his 31 years with the company.

“In the past, we would become static, and perhaps thought we had the secret formula and we were going to be slaves to it,” he said.

James Schrager, a professor at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, said it’s commendable Mulally and Ford recognize the company hasn’t changed quickly in the past. Mulally’s plan to save Ford was well done, but it hasn’t been tested yet by an unforeseen event that throws off the strategy, such

as a huge gas price uptick, Schrager said.

“There’s a lot of things that happen outside of Ford’s control that determine if they go from boom to bust,” he said. “What I haven’t seen yet is if they know how to deal with these large exogenous changes that will happen to them from time to time.”

A few years ago, Ford said, the company would have based its product plans on fuel price predictions that could turn out to be wrong.

Now it has a simpler vision: If you build high-quality, fuel-efficient cars and trucks in each segment, fuel prices don’t matter anymore.

“We have the product lineup and the engine lineup and the transmission lineup to give the customer whatever they want regardless of whatever the external factors are. That’s a freedom that’s hugely off our backs,” he said.

Ford and Mulally say simplifying production also will help them deal with external changes. For example, the new Focus sedan will eventually come in hybrid, plugin hybrid, gas and electric versions, all built on the same Michigan assembly line. Ford will be able to switch quickly between them if it finds buyers prefer one technology over another.

Ford is also saving hundreds of millions of dollars by building one car for all worldwide markets. Previously, Ford’s global regions operated as independent companies, so cars developed in Europe would never make it to the U.S. or Asia.

Now, Ford is basing 10 vehicles off the new, Europeandeveloped Focus, including a small minivan that will be introduced at the Detroit auto show this week. Eighty percent of the parts those vehicles share are the same.

Puklich donating nearly $10,000 Carrie’s Kids in Bismarck will receive nearly $10,000 from Puklich Chevrolet’s recent Giving More campaign, a tie-in to a national Chevy campaign.

Carrie’s Kids helps children and youth ages 5-21 who attend Bismarck Public Schools and are in transition or experiencing homelessness.

Puklich general manager Elyse Puklich said dealership donations were tied to car sales and servicing.

China says land sales up 70 percent BEIJING (AP) — China says land sales shot up 70 percent last year as the country’s land and resources minister warned of social unrest among frustrated Chinese who can’t afford to buy a home.

Minister Xu Shaoshi said $407 billion was spent on land transactions last year, up from $240 billion a year earlier. His comments Friday were posted on the ministry’s website.

“Urban development is becoming more dependent on land transactions, which has triggered an uneven allocation of benefits — and social conflicts,” Xu said.

Xu’s comments suggest China may take further measures to cool its property market. It has already tightened limits on mortgage lending to discourage investment buying that helped drive prices out of reach for many city dwellers. In September it said it would introduce a trial property tax in some major cities.

Apartment prices have spiked to record highs in some cities. The cost of real estate in Beijing rose by about 42 percent last year, according to the China Real Estate Information Corp.

Still Modern Continued from 1B British Columbia to Texas.”

Modern Machine Works employs 22 people at the shop built by Kutchera and expanded over the decades.

It is very much a family enterprise, with Kris’ father and two brothers, his cousin and an uncle on his mother’s side working there. John Lengenfelder has been there since the days when he walked a few blocks from St. Mary’s Grade School, and Luke Lengenfelder, a company vice president, recalls being taken up onto a dragline as a 5-year-old.

One thing to remember, Kris Lengenfelder said, is that running a family business is not only about money.

Electric Ford Focus to go on sale later this year

By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. said Friday that an electric version of its Ford Focus sedan will go on sale in North America by the end of this year.

Ford introduced the electric Focus at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The car is expected to go up to 100 miles on an electric charge.

The automaker says the Focus can be fully charged in three to four hours using a 240-volt outlet. That’s half the time it takes to charge the Nissan Leaf, a competitor that went on sale last month.

Ford also said its fuel efficiency numbers will be competitive with the Leaf.

Late last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated the Leaf

would get the equivalent of 106 miles per gallon in city driving and 92 miles per gallon on the highway. The EPA determined the figures by estimating it will cost $561 per year in electricity to charge the car.

Ford said the Focus will have a unique, Microsoftdesigned powering feature that will charge the vehicle during off-peak hours, w h e n u t i l i t y r a t e s a re cheapest, to save on elec-

tric bills. It also has a touchscreen with information such as the amount of charge left, the distance to the next charging station and the amount of gasoline saved.

Pricing w a s n’t announced. The Leaf starts at $32,780, but it is eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit that drops the price to $25,780.

The electric Focus will

be Ford’s first electric car on the market. It began selling an electric version of the Transit Connect van last year. The Chevrolet Volt, an electric car with a small gas engine that takes over if the charge runs out, is the only other electric car on sale in the U.S. right now, but other competitors are planning to introduce electrics soon. In 2012, Toyota plans to begin selling an electric

RAV4 crossover, Chrysler plans an electric Fiat 500 minicar and Honda will sell an electric version of the Fit subcompact.

Ford said it plans to

Knox trial featured in TV movie

By BETH HARRIS Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. — The murder trial of American college student Amanda Knox is recreated in a television movie that had the actors debating her innocence or guilt.

“It’s one of those really riveting stories where you just don’t know,” Hayden Panettiere, who plays Knox, told television writers on Friday.

“I can’t say I have an opinion.

That’s why the story is so interesting. I don’t know that we’ll ever really know.”

“Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy” airs Feb. 21 on Lifetime.

The movie focuses on the trial of Knox, who was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering her British roommate in the rented house they shared in the university town of Perugia, where both were studying.

Nicknamed “Foxy Knoxy” by her Italian prosecutor and the media, Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison, a verdict she is appealing. The co-defendant in the appeals trial is her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who was

Hayden Panetierre, left, and Marcia Gay Harden, costars of “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy,” discuss the film. convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 25 years. Both deny any wrongdoing.

“Our story tells factually what happened up to the point of her arrest,” executive producer Trevor Walton said. “We feel we’ve done this very responsibly and should have no effect on any ongoing trial.”

The movie was filmed last year in Rome and Perugia.

Producers didn’t talk to any of the families, and instead worked from courtroom documents, including a 400-

page report written by the judge in the case, and media reports.

“We didn’t want to be biased in any way,” Walton said. “We wanted to tell a drama. To go to the Knox family and not the Kercher family didn’t make any sense.”

Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, who plays Knox’s mother, Edda Mellas, said Knox’s innocence or guilt was a daily topic among the cast.

“I personally found an opportunity playing her

mom to find reasons to question that she wasn’t guilty, to believe fiercely in her,” Harden said. “It was very difficult not to stand behind a position as the character.”

Harden plowed through the judge’s document, which she said contains specific details about DNA and both sides’ presentations.

“In the report, I found there to be conjecture,” she said.

Panettiere focused on staying true to who she believes Knox was before the trial.

“This wasn’t a dark, angry girl,” she said. “She was a young girl with dreams and aspirations. I don’t think guilty or innocent takes away from that.”

Following the movie, Lifetime will air an hour-long documentary “Beyond the Headlines: Amanda Knox” that features interviews with Knox’s mother, father, friends, investigators and prosecutors discussing the legal evidence and allegations.

Pa n e t t i e r e’s c r e d i t s include the T V show “Heroes” and the movie “I Love You, Beth Cooper.”

‘Ghostbusters 3’ script is ready LOS ANGELES (AP) — Power up that Proton Pack: “Ghostbusters 3” is closer to becoming a reality.

Ivan Reitman, who directed and produced the first two “Ghostbusters” movies, says “a very good script” for the third installment in the comic ghost-hunting tale has been sent to star Bill Murray.

Reitman said Friday that “nothing you’ve read on the Internet is accurate” and that Murray hasn’t yet read the “Ghostbusters 3” script.

But the filmmaker is confident about its content, saying “it’s good enough to do, to take the risk of doing again.”

Reitman’s latest project is the romantic comedy “No Strings Attached,” starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. It opens Jan. 21.

Chile miner celebrates Elvis’ birthday MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Hundreds of Elvis Presley fans, including Chilean miner Edison Pena, gathered Saturday at Graceland to sing “Happy Birthday” on the late rock n’ roll icon’s 76th birthday.

Pena, the guest of honor at Elvis’ birthday party, cut into a 4-foot high cake fashioned to look like stacked television sets as fans cheered both the singer and the miner outside Elvis’ longtime Memphis home.

An avid Elvis fan, Pena has been on a whirlwind tour of Memphis, getting a private tour of Graceland, attending a Memphis Grizzlies NBA game and leading the walking of the ducks at the Peabody Hotel.

Pena and 32 other miners spent 69 days trapped underground after a mine collapse in Chile. Pena sang Elvis songs to lift the morale of his friends before their rescue in October.

History network nixes Kennedy show

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer PASADENA, Calif. — The History Channel will not air a controversial miniseries it produced about the Kennedy family, saying the multimillion-dollar project that had become the network’s most expensive on record did not fit the “History brand.”

The eight-part series had already been completed, and starred Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes as President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie. But during its production, critics like former Kennedy administration aide Theodore Sorenson attacked the scripts as inaccurate. The role of producer Joel Surnow, a political conservative, also drew suspic i o n f ro m f a n s o f t h e Kennedy family.

“We have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand,” the network said in a statement late Friday.

The decision was first reported Friday by the Hollywood Reporter.

History, in its statement, said the decision was made after viewing the series in its totality.

“We recognize historical fiction is an important medium for storytelling and commend all the hard work and passion that has gone into the making of the series, but ultimately deem this as the right programming decision for our network,” History said in a statement.

Sp o k e s m a n Mi c h a e l Feeney said there would be no further comment.

Messages left with Surnow’s agent and lawyer were n o t i m m e d i atel y returned on Friday.

History is owned by the A&E Television Networks, which itself is owned jointly

by NBC Universal, the Walt Disney Co. and the Hearst Corp.

It’s not clear who made the decision to pull the plug on “The Kennedys,” given the joint ownership. A top Disney executive, DisneyABC Media Networks cochairwoman Anne Sweeney, is also on the

board of directors for the for example. the 50th anniversary of the Sp e c i a l Ol y m p i c s, t h e The film would have start of the Kennedy presiorganization started by the aired in this country during dency. late Eunice Kennedy Shriver, President Kennedy’s sis“FLAT-OUT THE FINES ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THE YEAR.” ter.

TIM McGRAW WESTERN! The decision was reminiscent of CBS’s 2003 decision not to air a miniseries based on the life of President Ronald Reagan, which had also attracted political controversy prior to airing.

The series later aired on the Showtime pay cable network.

Greenwald said more THEATRES I-94 & HWY 83 N. • 222-1607 than 50,000 people had signed his petition.

“I’ll never understand why the History Channel let it get as far as it did — they’re intelligent people over there — but we’re pleased that they came to this decision,” he said.

His YouTube film quoted Sorenson, a former adviser to Kennedy, calling a script he had seen of “The Kennedys” vindictive and malicious. Sorenson said scenes in the script that depicted him meeting with President Kennedy did not occur.

Greenwald said he had been slipped a copy of the script while the film was casting actors. His film included a “dramatization” of some of the scenes, including one where President Kennedy supposedly tells his brother Robert about why he needed to have sex with different women.

It’s not clear whether that scene, or others that he depicted, ever made it into the final film.

Although History is not airing it, “The Kennedys” is expected to be seen elsewhere around the world.

History does not control rights to the film outside of the United States and the company that does, Muse Entertainment, has sold rights to various other networks. It is scheduled to air March 6 in Canada,

Longoria’s club files for bankruptcy LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas nightclub owned by “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria has filed for bankruptcy, saying it owes nearly $5.7 million.

Lawyers for Beso LLC said in a federal Chapter 11 filing on Thursday that they project losing more than $76,000 per month at the CityCenter restaurant and nightspot. It is seeking bankruptcy in order to keep operating.

Beso owes nearly $1.8 million to CityCenter for its lease at the Crystals mall inside the resort complex that opened in December 2009, lawyers said in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court filing in Las Vegas.

CityCenter is owned jointly by casino operator MGM Resorts International and Dubai World, the investment arm of the Persian Gulf state.

Longoria owns nearly one-third of Beso but is also listed as an unsecured creditor.

New year may bring financial roller coaster

By EDWARD LOTTERMAN One week into the new year, there is some good news in terms of labor market indicators and retail numbers. But my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar admonition to â&#x20AC;&#x153;hope for the best but expect the worstâ&#x20AC;? still is a good way to approach 2011.

Hope that Lotterman the national and global economies strengthen, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if the overall situation worsens, instead. Here are some things to monitor through the rest of the year. â&#x2013; Housing prices: Until housing prices find a bottom, households wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the true state of their finances, lenders wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how large their writeoffs will be and investors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the actual worth of sundry mortgagebacked securities they hold.

This most recent news is not good. The SP CaseShiller home price index for October sales showed declines from September in all 20 metro areas surveyed.

Compared with October

2009, all but four showed declines.

The problem is that declines since mid-summer reversed stability or modest gains earlier in the year. The most commonly identified reason is the expiration last June of a substantial tax credit for homebuyers. It now seems that apparent strength earlier was an artificial result of this government subsidy.

The composite yearover-year decline for the 20 cities surveyed was only 0.8 percent. In itself, such a modest decline should not have great effect on the economy. But just as Napoleon said that in war, morale outweighs all other factors, so too do consumer and business confidence in protracted recessions.

There probably is a ways to go before reaching a sustainable price floor. This is a case where a slow decline may be better than a fast one. Some argue a shock adjustment would get us through this process quicker, force everyone to write off inevitable losses sooner and lead to a quicker return to growth. But the problem is so large that such a shock would force many lenders and borrowers into bankruptcy and potentially return us to mid-2008.

There is no easy out from this one. â&#x2013; Eurozone: Slow adjustment rather than crisis is also the better outcome in the Eurozone, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on it. There simply are too many variables at play and too many separate governments involved to ensure rational, coordinated policies. Authorities have been successful so far at dealing with relatively small problems in Greece and Ireland, but if things proceed to Spain there may be a point where bondholders panic and flee for the exit en masse. If that happens, expect bodies to pile up inside the door with Europe facing a crisis like we faced in SeptemberOctober 2008. And collapse of major financial firms in Europe will affect us, make no mistake. â&#x2013; China: The country has done remarkably well over the past three years and its imports of raw materials have helped natural resource-exporting nations like Argentina, Brazil, Australia and Canada fare much better than the United States or Europe. The question is one of sustainability.

China cannot continue on its blistering pace indefinitely. There clearly is over-

building of public and private infrastructure. Inflation is already apparent at the retail level, and keeping the general public tranquil always is a higher priority for an authoritarian regime than for ones that enjoy democratic legitimacy. The Bank of China has tightened the money supply in four small increments over recent months. It may have to take bigger steps. Any such monetary constraint will slow an overheated economy; that is the whole point. The question is whether authorities can pull off a proverbial â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft landing.â&#x20AC;? These are exceedingly rare and harder to accomplish when the rest of the world is in financial turmoil. Exactly how recession in China would affect the industrialized countries is unclear, but the effects would not be positive. â&#x2013; U.S. policy: In our own country, we face questions of whether the monetary stimulus of the Fed and the continued deficit spending amplified by the recent bipartisan tax cut deal really will spur the overall economy.

First, when the economy is already awash in liquidity that may be fueling an unsustainable stock market recovery, will continued

additions to the monetary base goose business spending on new plants and equipment and increase hiring? Or are we in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowlevel liquidity trapâ&#x20AC;? where business and consumer pessimism render monetary stimulus impotent?

And at what point will this all rouse inflation fears that drive long-term interest rates up rather than down?

The jury is out, but it may send in a verdict some time in the next 12 months.

On the fiscal side, the recent agreement mostly extends the current tax regimen and unemployment outlays. It does not add much new. It is an avoided tightening rather than a loosening. And the Keynesian theory behind such anti-recession stimulus was not predicated on an economy that had ballooned its national debt, fair economic weather or foul, for 25 of the preceding 30 years.

Japan got away with it because it can finance deficits from its peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own savings. We cannot.

All in all, 2011 promises to be an exciting year but probably not a comfortable one.

Court rules against banks in mortgage case

By DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The highest court in Massachusetts ruled against U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo & Co. on Friday in a widely watched mortgage foreclosure case that could have serious implications for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest banks.

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed a lower court judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling invalidating two mortgage foreclosure sales because the banks did not prove that they actually owned the mortgages at the time of foreclosure.

Last fall, the banking i n d u s t r y â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s f o re c l o s u re machine came under intense scrutiny with the revelations that low-level employees called â&#x20AC;&#x153;robo signersâ&#x20AC;? powered through hundreds of foreclosure affidavits a day without verifying a single sentence.

At the time, analysts warned that the banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; allegedly fraudulent document procedures could imperil their ability to prove that they owned the mortgages.

The Supreme Judicial Court found that the banks, who were not the original mortgagees, did not make a required showing that they held the mortgages at the time of foreclosure. As a result, the court found, the banks did not demonstrate that the foreclosure sales were valid to convey title to the properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We agree with the judge that the plaintiffs did not demonstrate that they were the holders of the ... mortgages at the time that they foreclosed these properties, and therefore failed to demonstrate that they acquired fee simple title to these properties by purchasing them at the foreclosure sale,â&#x20AC;? Justice Ralph

Gants wrote for the court in the unanimous 6-0 ruling.

Attorney Paul Collier III, who represents Antonio Ibanez, one of the homeowners in the case, said the ruling affects thousands of mortgages in Massachusetts and could have a farreaching impact on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banking industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For homeowners and foreclosures in general, it means that any mortgage foreclosure which was initiated by a securitized trust at a time when the trust had not obtained a mortgage assignment which gave it the lawful right to do so is void. Those homeowners, like Mr. Ibanez, still own the property,â&#x20AC;? Collier said.

The banks argued that securitization documents they submitted were sufficient to prove they owned the mortgages before the publication of the notices of sale and the foreclosure sales.

The banks asked the court to apply its ruling only to future transactions, but the court rejected that.

The court said it had not made a significant change in common law and scolded the banks for not following those mandates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The legal principles and requirements we set forth are well established in our case law and our statutes.

All that has changed in the plaintiffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apparent failure to abide by those principles and requirements in the rush to sell mortgagebacked securities,â&#x20AC;? Gants wrote for the court.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Robert Cordy used even stronger language, citing what he called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;utter carelessnessâ&#x20AC;? with which the banks documented the titles to their assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no dispute that the mortgagors of the properties in question had defaulted on their obliga-

tions, and that the mortgaged properties were subject to foreclosure. Before commencing such an action, however, the holder of an assigned mortgage needs to take care to ensure that his legal paperwork is in order,â&#x20AC;? Cordy wrote.

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said he agrees with the ruling, which he said demonstrates the need for judicial review of foreclosures in the state to give homeowners more protections.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to lawmakers to take action to remove the uncertainty over mortgages raised by the decision, he said. Without legislative action, the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling will have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;chilling effectâ&#x20AC;? on the real estate market, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effect is that it throws a monkey wrench into foreclosures,â&#x20AC;? Galvin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an urgent situation.â&#x20AC;?

GM CEO says mileage rules are ambitious

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; General Motors CEO Dan Akerson said Friday that future fuel efficiency requirements being discussed by the government are â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty ambitiousâ&#x20AC;? and suggested that Congress should reconsider the standard every few years.

During a meeting with lawmakers Friday, Akerson raised concerns about fuel efficiency requirements that are being discussed for the 2017-25 model years. Government regulators have said the fleet of new vehicles may need to meet a stand a rd s o m e w h e re f r o m 47 miles per gallon to 62 mpg by 2025, nearly double the current rules.

The future requirements are still in an early planning phase by the Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation Department and would amount to a 6 percent annual increase if the target reached 62 mpg by 2025. That target would far exceed the mileage of current models of the Toyota Prius hybrid, which gets about 50 mpg. Rules adopted last year will raise the new vehicle fleet average to 3 5 . 5 m p g by 2 0 1 6 , a n increase of more than 40 percent over current standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a stated goal of not fighting change but embracing and trying to achieve it as best we can.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in pretty good shape through 2016,â&#x20AC;? Akerson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to remember that the laws of physics are not going to be suspended and to see 6 percent compounded annual improvement is a pretty ambitious target, so we need to work on that pretty diligently to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good shape.â&#x20AC;?

He suggested that Congress could seek ways to conduct a â&#x20AC;&#x153;benchmark checkâ&#x20AC;? on the standards every 2 to 3 years to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;how is the industry doingâ&#x20AC;? with the requirements. The rules cost the auto industry billions of dollars to implement but the government has said consumers will save money on gas in the longrun.

Dorgan — not a man looking for a Barcalounger The national congressional elections occurred on Nov. 2.

From that moment on, Byron Dorgan was not only a lame duck, but a lame duck identified with a repudiated party as the 111th Congress wound down and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season began. It would have been easy for Dorgan to pack up his mementos, his innumerable awards, his large collection of books about the Great Plains and the marvelous photographs of North Dakota’s countryside that adorned his office, and glide out to the tune of “well done, my good and faithful servant.” Nobody would have objected. Indeed, nobody would have noticed.

That is precisely the opposite of what happened. I’m a faraway

observer, not an insider, but the sense I had from 1,320 miles away was that Dorgan was possibly working harder than ever before during the last weeks of his Senate career.

One day in a hotel room, I was surfing through the cable channels and there on C-SPAN was Dorgan, D-N.D., on the Senate floor making the case for the new nuclear arms treaty with Russia (START). The treaty limits the two superpowers to 1,550 nuclear warheads each, down from the previous ceiling of 2,200. I listened to Dorgan’s thoughtful, wellresearched, forceful analysis of the treaty for a quarter of an hour before I had to check out. I was filled with pure admiration. Given his stature in the Senate, all he

CLAY JENKINSON

would have had to say is, “Look, folks,” (that characteristic Dorganism), “we need to ratify this important treaty,” and sit down.

But there he was, vigilantly making the case for nuclear arms reduction as if he were a freshman senator and this were his first big floor assignment. And he was clearly having a good time.

On Dec. 18, the Senate voted 65-31 to repeal the ban on gays in

the U.S. military. Dorgan voted with the majority.

It would have been easy enough to leave it at that. Any government policy, court ruling or congressional action with respect to the gay community is bound to be controversial, sometimes viciously controversial. Questioned by reporters on the repeal vote, Dorgan could easily have said, “I have no comment,” and returned to his packing. Instead, he spoke thoughtfully about previous moments in the history of the civil rights movement in America. There was a time, he said, when many doubted whether women should be entitled to vote, a time when the idea of black and white people sharing public facilities was anathema to

many people, when it was doubted whether African-Americans should fight alongside white soldiers. “But you know what,” he said, “we managed to get through each of those transitions, and each of them has strengthened America.”

It was magnificent. He didn’t have to say anything, mind you, but in careful and historically contextualized language Dorgan called upon the “better angels of our nature” as we move into an uncertain and (to some) frightening future. He made it clear, as he spoke these words, that he understood why this new policy will be difficult for some good and patriotic Americans to absorb.

The science of weather Continued from 1C

Differing forecasts?

John Paul Martin is the warning coordinator meteorologist in Bismarck.

Martin said the marketplace, so to speak, in the weather business has changed quite a bit in recent years.

Not that predicting the weather is a competitive business necessarily, but it may explain to some why there sometimes are differences in weather forecasts.

Martin said there are many private weather forecasting companies today that media sources, broadcast and print alike, contract with to get forecasts.

For example, Martin said the Weather Channel is owned by NBC. Martin said there is no competition concerning who is right and more accurate.

He said in recent years there has been increased cooperation among the various weather outlets.

Recently, Martin said NWS staff has met with local media outlets to compare tricks of the trade, so to speak.

“The focus of those meetings was to find out how can we improve our service to help them ... we’re all in this for a common cause,” Martin said.

Scheck said another new focus of the NWS is improved public relations with media and others to get the latest and most accurate information out to the public. “ We h a v e m o re resources,” Scheck said. “I have a lot of respect for the local media guys ... we are a public service. We provide the data, collect it and store it and make that data available,” Scheck said.

Science in action The holiday snowstorm that pounded much of the state recently is a good example of just how dynamic and unpredictable storms can be.

Harlyn Wetzel is the lead forecaster at the Bismarck office with about 25 years of

forecasting experience.

He said forecasters began tracking that storm more than a week before it hit North Dakota, while it was still off the Pacific coastline.

Wetzel said about a week is the limit meteorologists can make forecasts with any degree of accuracy given all the variables that come into play.

“As far as sensible weather, it’s about seven days,” Wetzel said.

But that is vast improvement from just 25 years ago.

“Now we can forecast as well seven days out as we could three days out in 1985,” he said.

Computer models and other improvements in technology have been the difference, he said.

The Bismarck NWS serves 36 counties in western and central North Dakota. Wetzel said there is so much data available from different sources these days that the computer models are continuously being updated as forecasters track incoming weather systems.

He said there are dozens of sur face obser vation points in the western part of the state and the NWS uses data from sensors on aircraft coming into the Bismarck to add information.

And twice a day, at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., weather balloons

are launched to collect a variety of information up to 20 miles into the atmosphere.

The balloons gather data on air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and wind at different levels as it ascends into the sky.

All weather systems are different and it’s the differences in the measurements, both vertically and horizontally, that are entered into the computer model.

The model is a complex mathematical equation that measures millions of points for each time period, Wetzel said.

And, sometimes the models don’t agree with the timing, severity and tracking of storms.

Wetzel said the balloons are launched 300 miles apart and there may be different conditions between launch sites that may affect how a weather system reacts.

There are about a dozen separate weather radar sites in the region and forecasters use data collected from all sources, including other meteorologists. Wetzel said they use data on what is occurring at the present to forecast what will happen in the coming hours or days by building a consensus.

Like all things, there is a margin of error in weather

forecasting and the longer out the forecast, the larger the potential margin of error.

Martin said, bottom line, the NWS makes the data, current and historical, available for others to use as part of its mission to protect lives, property and enhance commerce.

How accurate is it? It depends on whose standards you follow. Is 1 inch of snow, give or take, acceptable? Five degrees either way?

Martin said one of the primary goals is consistency of the message. “Here is what we are forecasting and why,” he said.

Martin said the latest figures indicate a 4-to-1 payback for money spent by the NWS compared to what businesses save in losses through severe weather events.

“Ultimately, it all boils down to our mission,” Scheck said. “To protect lives and property.”

Indians. These were not articles looking back over Dorgan’s long Senate career.

They were news articles about what the senator was doing at year’s end for America’s Indians.

So ends one phase of the career of the man from Regent, N.D., population 211. In the political history of North Dakota, Dorgan has been one of the few giants. He has been a giant in the United States Senate.

Byron Dorgan is 68 years old. He’s not leaving the Senate feet first like some of his colleagues. He’s fit, immensely productive and at the top of his game. This much is clear. He won’t be sitting in a Barcalounger watching reruns of “The

Continued from 1C Andy Griffith Show.” He’s written two good books already and more are coming, and not just on policy concerns. He’s likely to be offered teaching gigs all over the country. I expect he’ll be a Cabinet secretary soon.

Still, I cannot think of his departure from the Senate without experiencing a spasm of pure loss.

Rural America has lost its finest advocate in Congress.

Dorgan Meanwhile, in his last days in office, he asked the U.S. Geological Survey to reevaluate North Dakota’s oil reserves. Several years ago, he took the lead in getting the first USGS study made of the Bakken’s potential.

That report indicated that the Bakken’s immense deposits might yield 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil. It would be impossible to exaggerate the importance of the USGS’s official imprimatur in what was then still widely regarded as a pretty dicey set of yield claims. Now Dorgan wants the USGS to try to figure out whether the Sanish/Three Forks deposits are part of what might be called the Greater Bakken field or dis-

tinct oil fields. Some industry insiders believe the volume of recoverable oil may reach 22 billion barrels.

As I was driving through the Rosebud Indian Reservation the other day, I picked up a couple of Native American newspapers. As I scanned the papers, I found no fewer than four articles lauding Dorgan’s efforts to investigate mismanagement in the Indian Health Service at Aberdeen, S.D.; his work to address the problem of diabetes among America’s Indian population; his leadership in providing increased and improved law enforcement systems on the reservations; and his hearings on the epidemic of teen suicides among American

Charismatic leader born in North Dakota The man called the “father of charismatic renewal,” one of the fastest growing movements in Christendom, was born in North Dakota.

Harald Bredesen was a third-generation Lutheran minister who later became the first to successfully introduce the Pentecostal experiences into a traditional Christian church. Bredesen met with many world leaders and had prayer sessions with at least four U.S. presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, Carter and Reagan.

He was a mentor to Pat Robertson and an early director of the Christian Broadcasting Network. Pat Boone likened Bredesen to “Abraham, Moses, Gideon (and) Elijah.”

Elmer Harald Bredesen was born Aug. 16, 1918, at the Rugby Hospital to Alfred and Dagny (Knutson) Bredesen. His father was the pastor of Lutheran Evangelical Church in Leeds and later accepted the position of Lutheran pastor at Morris, Minn., in 1919; Bricelyn, Minn., in 1922; and Decorah, Iowa, in 1930.

Bredesen was an excellent student but rebelled against becoming a minister like his father and grandfa-

ther. He also was opposed to attending Luther College in Decorah. Since his father was paying for his education, he had no other choice. After attending a sermon by his father that appeared to be directed at him during his senior year at Luther College, Harald enthusiastically embraced becoming a minister.

Prior to ordination in 1945, Bredesen was given the position of public relations secretary for the World Council of Christian Education.

At the council, Bredesen’s job was to enlist sponsors who would help them raise money to restore the Christian education systems in war-torn countries following World War II. Bredesen decided to start at the top and called Vice President Harry S. Truman.

Truman agreed to be the U.S. sponsor of the overall project and, shortly after accepting, became president. Soon Bredesen had enlisted American business leaders and then received agreements from the ruling monarchs in Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as Chiang Kaishek of China.

CURT ERIKSMOEN

With this success, Bredesen was invited to establish the Foreign Trade Corporation with retired Adm. Charles Freeman and William Kuo, the brother of Madame Chiang Kai-shek.

Bredesen was named secretary-treasurer. They also formed the China ImportExport Company in August 1947 with Bredesen as vice president.

The companies floundered, and when it became apparent that they might be sued for nondelivery of materials, Bredesen replaced Freeman as president of the Foreign Trade Corporation. Although the titles sounded impressive, Bredesen lost money.

Bredesen was now broke and decided to put his ministerial background to use — however, not in the Lutheran tradition with which he had been trained, but as a Pentecostal.

Bredesen said he had

received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at a retreat in New York in 1946. In the early 1950s, he began evangelizing in Florida and Arkansas. He believed he was successful, but he was still broke.

Bredesen then went to work for the Gospel Association for the Blind in New York. Soon, he made the acquaintance of a young lawyer who was attending the seminary, Pat Robertson. Bredesen convinced Robertson to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the two became good friends.

In 1957, Bredesen was called to be pastor of First Reformed Church of Mount Vernon, N.Y. He invited Robertson to join him as his assistant pastor. At first, Bredesen delivered traditional sermons, but later introduced Pentecostal experiences.

In the late 1950s, Bredesen visited a small church in a Brooklyn ghetto where he helped the pastor, David Wilkerson, launch a ministry to teenage gangs. The result was the popular book “The Cross and the Switchblade,” which was later made into a movie. In 1961, Bredesen helped Robertson

found CBN and later became head of the network.

In the 1960s, Bredesen began visiting colleges and the Saturday Evening Post dubbed him as the “Charismatic envoy to the Campuses.” Bredesen met with Boone, whose marriage was in peril because of excessive partying. Boone later introduced Bredesen to many of his friends in Hollywood, including future President Ronald Reagan.

With a letter of introduction from Boone, Bredesen met with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Bredesen and Sadat soon became friends, and the Egyptian president was encouraged to meet with President Jimmy Carter and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin at Camp David in 1979. For this brave move, Bredesen created the Prince of Peace Prize and awarded it to Sadat in 1980.

After serving as a pastor at Victoria, British Columbia, and Van Nuys and San Marcos in California, Bredesen retired. He died on Dec. 29, 2006.

Here’s how to replant a cactus in another pot

I’ve attached two pictures with the hopes that you might be able to assist in recommending a way of mending the condition.

The problem could be due to mealybug activity.

However, I couldn’t see any problem from your photos.

Carefully knock the plant out of its container to see if there is something feeding on the roots. I am at the edge of my expertise on this, so I’m unsure what could cause this discoloration and collapse. The ball on top looks good, so there is no disease migration taking place. Sorry I can’t be more helpful than this.

“Every year they give themselves a raise for something and it’s about time we say no! The legislators want to raise their lodging pay to $1,228. That’s about what I take home for the month How do they rate?

I can guarantee that I work harder and longer than they ever did. So how do they justify getting more monies when the rest of the state is just trying to scrape by with what we got? So I say no to this! Its about time the legislators think about we the people for a change and give all of us a raise.”

“Get ready for the new recession. When gas gets so high, like it did before, people spend more on gas and less on other items, leading to layoffs and business failures and more layoffs and around and around it goes.

Continuing pro-growth strategy Farmers know when the crop goes in that unforeseen circumstances — no rain or too much rain, hail, bugs, weeds, falling prices — can ruin a crop and make the local banker your best friend.

Legislators should know the same thing.

North Dakota, as the Legislature begins to hammer out its 2011-12 budget, finds itself sitting pretty.

The state has a $1 billion budget surplus and its booming oil business just keeps getting better. While the rest of the nation plugs holes in leaky ships of state, North Dakota’s going fishing in a snug, dry boat — gonna catch the big one.

The farmer in us worries. What if that federal study of fracking in oil fields comes back bad and the Bakken gets shut down? What if Congress doesn’t have the wherewithal to rein in the EPA on green-

house emissions and power plants get stuck adding more scrubber-like technologies that drive up the price of electricity? What if there’s a major oil pipeline break that creates serious environmental disaster in the state? What if the bad thing happens?

Negativism? Maybe.

The Tribune thinks that lawmakers should continue to be aggressive in doing what they can to diversify the economy. The state should continue strong support of its centers of excellence. It should continue job training programs. It should continue to identify new business opportunities and provide practical support for them.

North Dakota should become the smartest energy producer around, whether it’s knowledge about fracking, carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emission or networking wind generation into the grid.

On the national policy level, the congressional delegation needs to own energy and any proposed regulation of carbon.

What we can’t do is let oil’s bounty distract the state from the path it has taken during the last decade — the creation of a pro-business environment that endeavors to add value to existing resources and convert university research into economic development.

Oil’s bounty shouldn’t distract North Dakota from diversification

For a long time, wheat was North Dakota’s economy. It’s still vitally important, but if you follow the news, oil has become the state’s new wheat. And what the state wants and needs is a fully diversified economy that takes advantage of wheat and oil, as well as lignite coal, information technologies and nanomanufacturing. We’ve been growing markets out beyond traditional rail heads in Duluth, Minneapolis and Spokane to include Korea and Kazakhstan. The state needs to stay the course.

If farming has taught us one thing, it’s that the optimism at spring planting can be hard to sustain in the face of a fickle Mother Nature. Oil isn’t a whole lot different. The Legislature should be mindful of what the history of farm and the oil industry can teach us.

Diversify. Add value. Grow jobs.

Mental health: Reaching out for help Former Bismarck resident Gerald Polley told a Tribune reporter in October 2007 that God told him to run for president. Polley claimed to be a psychic who had received a message from the afterlife.

Polley’s wife, Linda, said in the same interview that music from Beatle John Lennon was channeled to her from heaven, and that she was also psychic.

Polley said he received brain damage when a car hit him while riding a bicycle at the age of 11. He said he struggled with dyslexia, shot a man at age 17 and just before serving a three-year prison sentence realized he could speak to the afterlife.

“There are some who think we’re just nutty as fruitcakes,” he said in 2007.

Polley now lives in Maine, has said he is God and has announced a 2012 candidacy for president. In his last e-mail to the Tribune, he wrote: “on New Year’s God is going to curse every Christian church in Italy and take all power

Over the years, there have been many more readers who have seemed to reach out for help in their letters to the editor.

I’ve never been sure why so many people think editors have all the answers. We don’t.

Editors can often be good listeners and even problem solvers, but we don’t know much about mental health therapy. That means we are often confused about how to react, as best illustrated by a statement by my friend, Peter Bhatia, editor of the Portland Oregonian: “Ask any newspaper editor regarding some of the bizarre things they have witnessed, about the moments that are so funny you almost fall down laughing, and about the moments so sad you carry them around for weeks.”

I’ve carried some of my memories around for years.

They are not all funny.

Some are sad — but true — and I wish I had a better idea of what I could do to help some people.

Quality important in higher education

By DAVID FULLER Minot Higher education must continue to demonstrate that it is responsible to our state and communities, to address many demands. In the current debate about the value and cost of higher education, we shouldn’t lose sight of one of the most essential demands, and that is quality student learning.

That’s not to say that most observers of higher education — critics and Fuller defenders alike — are not concerned about learning.

Most recognize the importance of the learning of science and math, the ability to read critically, civic knowledge and the ability to contribute as citizens, ethical actions and effective writing and speaking.

But we’ve got to be careful that this learning doesn’t get overshadowed in our important discussions about student access, affordability and degree completion.

What I suggest is that we spend considerably more time and resources figuring out how we ensure and improve student learning and success. Completion rates, access and cost are virtually meaningless if we don’t ensure that our students learn the best of what we know and practice.

The American Association of

Colleges and Universities argues that to “regain our position as a world leader, the United States now must work both to increase degree attainment and to improve significantly the breadth, level and quality of students’ actual learning.”

The AAC&U urges that all of us “commit to civic, ethical and intercultural learning as institutional priorities.”

And the calls for that type of learning are not merely coming from educators; they are coming loud and clear from employers who recognize the essential role learning plays in their businesses and organizations. A 2009 survey of

ethical decision making and 79 percent on applied knowledge in real-world settings.

At this time, as we continue to discuss and debate the role of higher education and the job it does or doesn’t do, it is essential that significantly more attention is paid to the sciences, mathematics, humanities and other general and liberal education curricula, field-based learning activities and interdisciplinary studies that engage students in cross-disciplinary and global studies. At the same time, we need to make sure that students’ experiences in our classrooms are rigorous, challenging, meaningful and valuable for their growth as citizens and individuals.

Making that happen is not cheap, but as the educator and for302 employers revealed that a large mer administrator Derek Bok percentage of these owners and emphasizes, “If you think educaexecutives believed that colleges tion is expensive, try ignorance.” should emphasize more the knowlIn my view, all of us in higher edge of human cultures and the education, and policy makers and physical and natural world, intelleaders who are keenly interested lectual and practical skills, personal in education, should include in our and social responsibility, and debates about education the essenapplied learning. tial role quality learning plays, and Specifically, the survey found then, working hard to ensure that 70 percent indicated colleges access to effective college studies should do a better job of placing and assisting students in the more emphasis on science and rewarding efforts to complete their technology, 67 percent on global degrees.

Eagles, land’s health linked

By ANNE MARGUERITE COYLE

The Rust Belt revolutionary WASHINGTON — Consensus is scarce but almost everyone agrees with this: The government is dysfunctional and the Internet is splendid. But last month, the Democratic-controlled Federal Communications Commission, on a partisan 3-2 vote, did what a federal court says it has no power to do: It decided to regulate the Internet in the name of “Net neutrality.” The next morning, a man who can discipline the FCC said: Well, we’ll just see about that. “We are going to be a dog to the Frisbee on this issue.”

Rep. Fred Upton, 57, who represents southwestern Michigan, is now chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He notes that last summer the Progressive Change Campaign Committee got 95 Democratic congressional candidates to pledge support for federal regulation of the Internet. In November, all 95 lost. Upton will try to stymie the FCC’s impertinence by using the Congressional Review Act, under which a measure to reverse a regulation gets expedited consideration and cannot be filibustered in the Senate.

The capacious jurisdiction of Upton’s committee will allow him, if he so desires, to issue the biblical command “Let there be light” by pushing repeal of the 2007 law that, in 2014, effectively bans sales of incandescent light bulbs.

This law, which creates a captive market for those annoying, twisty, flickering fluorescent bulbs, is protectionism disguised as environmentalism: It is corporate welfare for U.S. bulb makers afraid of competition from imported incandescents.

But Upton has a bigger repeal in mind. He thinks enough Democrats will join all 242 House Republicans in voting to repeal Obamacare, and that repeal will come within 25 or so votes of the 290 necessary to override a presidential veto. This will intensify pressure on other Democratic members — imagine their town hall meetings — who could provide the veto-proof margin.

Upton thinks opposition to Obamacare is intensifying as people realize the reality behind Barack Obama’s slippery promise that if you like your present health care plan, you can keep it. The new law will not directly take it away, but its requirement that businesses either provide expensive government-approved insurance or pay a fine is designed to prompt businesses to drop their insurance, pay the fine and dump employees into Medicaid. Upton favors deregulating Medicaid by giving governors block grants and latitude: “Cut the strings and let the states figure it out.”

He majored in journalism at the University of Michigan and was a sports editor of the student newspaper, thinking he might eventually cover the Chicago Cubs.

He avoided that misery by coming to Washington in 1977 to work for the freshman congressman from his district, David Stockman, who in 1981 took Upton with him to the White House

GEORGE WILL

when he became President Reagan’s budget director.

Upton was elected in 1986 and has begun his 13th term. His state has more than its share of problems: The automobile industry is a shadow of its former self, the unemployment rate is 12.4 percent, 68 municipalities are on the state’s fiscal watch list (38 are rated worse than Hamtramck, which is seeking permission to file for bankruptcy), the 2010 Census will cost the state a House seat, and, worst of all, Michigan has lost seven consecutive football games to Ohio State.

Michigan’s power is waxing in Washington, with Upton’s boon companion Dave Camp, chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. They are part of a Midwestern ascendancy in the House, which also includes Ohio’s John Boehner (speaker), Michigan’s Mike Rogers (chairman of the Intelligence Committee), Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan (chairman of Budget), Minnesota’s John Kline (chairman of Education and Labor), and Missouri’s Sam Graves (chairman of Small Business).

The Midwest has much to lose from Obama’s agenda, particularly his animus against coal, which generates 60 percent of the region’s electricity — 90 percent in Ohio and Indiana.

Officials of a steel tank manufacturer in Niles, Mich., recently told Upton that cap-and-trade carbon regulation would have meant an instant 20 percent increase in electricity costs, which would have forced the company to operate only at night in order to take advantage of off-peak rates.

Such mundane matters may be intensely boring to Obama administration officials, to whom the private sector is as foreign as Mongolia. But the next presidential election probably will be won in the Midwest. Soon House Republicans from there will begin conducting a two-year tutorial on the reasons the region should continue to recoil from this administration.

It’s about responsible citizenship

■ Threat: Shooting.

Many eagles are shot. People shoot eagles and other raptors because they are concerned about predation of pheasants or livestock (sheep).

Although rare, eagles may prey on poultry, lambs and very small pets. It is important to Coyle note that raptors and eagles were in greater numbers years ago, and the habitat continued to supported a substantial pheasant population. Of all the nest sites visited during our study from 2002-08, only one nest had pheasant remains. Prairie dogs, turkeys, song birds, snakes, skunks, porcupines, rabbits, great horned owls, ducks, mink, pronghorn (fawn), coyotes (young), grouse and fish remains were found.

Solution: Do not shoot them. It is illegal to shoot any migratory bird (raptor or eagle). We encourage people that live in eagle habitat to attend their animals when they are outside and provide outside shelter.

We are more than willing to work with ranchers to assist with reducing loss from raptors.

There are costs to any type of activity. The question is not, “Is there an effect?” The questions are, “What is the cost?” and “Is it worth the benefit?” Being proactive and preventative is important for safety and is cost effective.

My father was in the oil industry. When his company had a tanker overturn and spill near a stream, he did not claim there was not an effect. He did the right thing. He was on the site, he ensured the safety of his driver, called the EPA and did everything possible to contain and clean the spill

to ensure the health of the community and wildlife.

He ensured his underground tanks met EPA standards before the rulings came into effect. Why? Because it would reduce loss of product, save money long term and it was best for the community and the health of the land.

His actions represent responsible citizenship.

To hold people or industry accountable, or to expect us all to work to protect species, the land, and maintain the health for local people, is not being against the people or industry. It is about expecting leadership, responsible citizenship and being concerned about people and the long-term health of the communities and land.

The challenge is to balance all activities on the landscape. Less habitat results in less land for cattle and wildlife. It will take innovation and the effort of people to compromise, work together, communicate and soar over boundaries to find solutions to these challenges.

So let’s work together.

I am willing. Are you?

The DSU STEM program provides a raptor information presentation for K-12. Anyone interested in booking a presentation can contact DSU STEM coordinator or Coyle at 701-483-2507.)

(Sources for current funding for her research include the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Dickinson State University and UnderGoldenWings. Past funding has come from the U.S. Forest Service, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, University of North Dakota and UnderGoldenWings.)

Med school falls short of mission Chapter 15-52 of the North Dakota Century Code states that “the primary purpose of the university of North Dakota school of medicine and health sciences is to educate physicians and other health professionals and to enhance the quality of life in North Dakota.”

As parochial as this may sound, the only reason North Dakota started a medical school was to “enhance the quality of life” by producing doctors who would practice in North Dakota.

Unfortunately, most of the graduating students are not staying here. Case in point: Of the 55 students who graduated last year, only seven are doing their residency in North Dakota.

This is a disastrous situation because students who leave the state to do their residency seldom come back. This large outmigration means that the medical school is serving the rest of the country

this is done, western legislators will have little reason to support construction money or anything else for a Red River Valley institution.

The state law provides for a 15-member advisory council but the council is of little help because it doesn’t represent the whole state very well. This was the judgment of Board of Higher Education Chancellor Bill Goetz when he proposed the formation of a new committee to study the situation. When asked why he didn’t use the existing advisory council, he said he wanted better representation from other parts of the state.

With an old population growing older, North Dakota is seeing Medicare and Medicaid grow by leaps and bounds. The need for doctors throughout North Dakota is becoming more critical as each year passes.

New strategies to recruit and keep doctors are sorely needed. Seven out of 55 tells us that.

VOICES OF THE PEOPLE Supreme Court did get it right

By ROBERT O. WELFALD Bismarck Our Supreme Court got it right in RecallND v.

Jaeger, 2010 ND 250.

Although Calvin L. Schaible argues our Supreme Court relied on language from the rejected work of the 1972 Constitutional Convention, a quick reading of the opinion clearly reveals that the recall provisions of our law do not allow a recall of any North Dakota United States

senator or United States representative.

It’s very simple. Sen. Conrad was elected for a term of six years and thus became a member of Congress representing North Dakota and subject to the rules of the United States Senate.

Our Supreme Court does not write “Nationalist,” “Republican,” “Democrat” or any type of “political” opinion. Our Supreme Court follows the United States Constitution, our North Dakota Constitution and the laws of our great state.

Besides, the people will have a chance to vote for or

against Sen. Conrad in 2012. not pulling over to the side of the road, you are putting a lot of people at risk.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard, right, takes his oath of office from David Gilbertson, South Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice, as first lady Linda Daugaard looks on Saturday at the state Capitol in Pierre, S.D.

Daugaard takes oath as S.D. gov.

By CHET BROKAW Associated Press

He leaves his wife of 60 years, Dod; his son, Tim Star, and daughter-in-law, Roxanne Swentzell; his grandson, Levi Star; Ruby Star; and his sister, Adele ( Tr a c y ) Ko e n i g . O t h e r beloved family members include his nephew, Kip (Ivy) Koenig; and his nieces, Dawn (Henry) Robard, Kim Smith and Brian O’Neill, Lori (Tim) Kelley, and Terri (Bob) Swanson.

Bill graduated from Jamestown College and the University of Colorado at Boulder. He taught chemistry and coached athletics in Linton and Mandan, Watsonville, Calif., and Milan, Italy. He was a well-respected chemistry teacher and coach. His teams loved him and his Watsonville crosscountry squads were nationally ranked.

Perhaps Bill’s happiest days were in Linton, where he coached when he was still kind of a kid himself. He and his track and basketball team members became good friends. They won championships. Now balding, they have remembered their glory days together.

After 30 years of teaching, Bill moved to Montana, for skiing, mostly; he loved skiing. He also enjoyed his commitment to the Lions Club and the tree-planting at Lions Park. He tried to enjoy golfing, but he really hated it.

Bill inspired us with his patience and courage during the last difficult years of his life.

Man pleads not guilty in stabbing

RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP) — A 31-year-old Rawlins man accused of stabbing another man in a street fight over a woman has pleaded not guilty of attempted murder and assault and battery.

Authorities say Babby Schaper stabbed a 23-year-old man on the street on Sept. 11 after the two fought over Schaper’s wife. According to an affidavit, the injured man started the fight by pushing or punching Schaper.

The 23-year-old victim was stabbed in the chest, but survived. The tip of the knife broke off and was embedded in a rib bone, where it was left.

Schaper is being held in lieu of bond.

Accident victim still struggles

By HEIDI SHAFFER For The Associated Press FARGO — On a January day in 1992, an accident on a central North Dakota farm forever changed John Thompson’s life.

The then-high school senior’s arms were severed by a tractor’s power takeoff and successfully reattached in an eight-hour surgery.

Today, the 37-year-old works as a real estate agent in Minot, where he has lived for the past 11 years.

Thompson still struggles daily with the results of that accident — both physically and emotionally, said his mom, Karen Thompson, who still lives on the Hurdsfield farm where the accident took place.

“The struggles have just changed him completely,” she said.

Thompson became an instant hero and received international attention after the accident. The story of a small-town North Dakota kid who dialed for help with a pencil clenched in his teeth and waited in the bathtub so he wouldn’t get blood on his mother’s carpet was featured in

“The attention was way harder. ...

Coming from a town of 70 people and not knowing anything, being thrown into the spotlight and being known around the world was just scary.”

John Thompson, whose arms were severed in a farm accident as a high school senior in 1992 national headlines.

Today, Thompson still gets recognized almost everywhere he goes, and it’s those details people remember, he said.

“That’s usually the first thing people say: ‘You’re the kid in the bathtub.’ I get that all the time,” Thompson said.

In 2 0 0 2 , T h o m p s o n published the book “Home in One Piece” about the accident. The book became a best-seller in the Midwest, and he hopes to republish it for the 20th anniversary of the accident, Thompson said.

Though he regained limited use of his arms, the physical limitations of Thompson’s 19-year-old injuries have been more p ro n o u n c e d i n re c e n t months, he said.

Last year, Thompson

began losing some strength in his hands, a problem made worse by the North Dakota winters, he said.

“When it gets cold, my hands don’t work at all,” he said.

His mom said the emotional scars and depression that followed the accident have been the hardest part of John’s struggle.

“I don’t care how old your child is, if your child is in pain, whether it’s physical or psychological, you feel it,” she said.

His disability has made finding work difficult, Karen Thompson said.

“That’s not easy to deal with as a young man and wanting to be independent,” she said.

But the attention that has followed him for the past two decades has been harder to deal with than

the actual disability, John Thompson said.

“The attention was way harder. There’s no comparison. Everyone says, ‘You’ve struggled so much with the accident.’ That was no big deal at all,” he said.

The attention left him feeling more like a sideshow than a person at times, he said.

“Coming from a town of 70 people and not knowing anything, being thrown into the spotlight and being known around the world was just scary,” he said.

But the publicity was positive in many ways, too, he said. His celebrity helped raise money for United Blood Services and other charities over the years.

“That’s always been a great thing about it,” he said.

RUGBY — Mark Koenig hopes an idea that began with a dangerously small baby can grow into something big.

“I sure wish this can end up helping a lot of babies,” he says.

The Rugby farmer has established “Bushels for the Boys,” a fund to help cover the ongoing medical expenses of his infant grandson, Tu c k e r, a n d t w o o t h e r Rugby-area baby boys with severe medical problems.

Mark Koenig wants the program, perhaps someday renamed as “Bushels for the Babies,” to spread across North Dakota and help other babies in need. He’s looking for an organization or two, possibly area cooperatives, to pick up the program and expand it.

The program began with what Koenig calls a “lifechanging experience” — the phone call informing him that Tucker was born prematurely, on May 12, weighing only 2 pounds, 8 ounces.

Tucker and his mother, Miriah, were taken to the neonatal intensive care unit in a Minneapolis hospital.

Two other babies from the Rugby area — Aspen Heisler and Pierce Casavant — also were being treated at the hospital. The mothers of all three boys stayed at the Ronald McDonald House, a place for families of sick children.

Mark Koenig says seeing

“I’ve had people come up to me and shake my hand and say,‘I’m not a farmer but I want to help.’ And in their hand there’s a $20 or $50 bill.”

Mark Koenig of Rugby, founder of the “Bushels for the Boys” fund the three mothers together reinforced his desire to help the babies.

Mark had talked about finding ways to help babies in need before Tucker even was born, says Levi Heisler, Aspen’s father and the proprietor of North Central Ag in Rugby.

“It’s not just because of his own grandson,” Levi Heisler says of Mark Koenig’s desire to help babies.

But it wasn’t until fall, during harvest, when Mark figured out how to do it. He launched Bushels for the Boys, in which farmers can donate a bushel or any other amount of grain to help cover the medical costs of the three boys.

“We were blessed with such a good harvest. This is a chance for farmers to give back,” he says.

Mark and his family designed posters for the pro-

gram and put them up at the Rugby Farmers Union Elevator Co. “It seems to be wellreceived,” Tim McLay, elevator manager, says of the program.

Fundraising for the program also is under way in Rolette and Harvey.

Farmers aren’t the only ones contributing to the fund.

“I’ve had people come up to me and shake my hand and say, ‘I’m not a farmer but I want to help.’ And in their hand there’s a $20 or $50 bill,” he says.

Mark says the program has raised thousands of dollars for the three boys, though he declines to be more specific on the amount.

The fund is set up at Merchants Bank in Rugby.

Tucker’s weight has risen to 15 pounds and he’s doing as well as can be expected, as are the other two boys, Mark Koenig says.

Many boys and girls across North Dakota are born every year with serious health problems, and they need help, too, Koenig says.

He hopes some company or organization, or perhaps several working in unison, can sponsor such a program or provide the support it would need.

“There’s just got to be some way we can get together and help kids across the state,” he says.

Cooperatives, relatively common on the Northern Plains, would seem a good fit, he says.

Closed dental chain had 40,000 N.H. patients

Study: Health care varies by region

By PATRICK SPRINGER For The Associated Press FARGO — A recent study on regional variations in health care found 29 percent of elderly cancer patients nationally die in hospitals.

The proportion of cancer patients dying within a hospital setting in the Red River Valley and nearby service areas generally was lower, although there were variations within service areas, according to an analysis by the Dartmouth Institute of Health Policy and Clinical Practice.

The variations among Medicare cancer patients — the best data set available — ma y b e i n f l ue n c e d by numerous factors, including individual patient choices for type of treatment and the availability and setting of hospice services.

Health policy analysts track the number of cancer deaths in hospitals as a rough indicator of how aggressive cancer treatment is for patients at the end of life.

In the Fargo service area, 26.4 percent of cancer patients died in a hospital from 2003-2007, compared to 22.6 percent in Bismarck, 29.4 percent in Minot and 29.3 percent in Grand Forks.

Elsewhere in the region, rates generally were lower.

In Sioux Falls, S.D., 22.3 percent of elderly cancer

“What’s the root cause of the variation? Is 18 percent best practice, or is it 23 percent? I don’t know, but we want to look at what is the best practice.”

Dr. Rhonda Ketterling, chief medical officer, Sanford Health Fargo region patients died in the hospital, compared to 18.6 percent in Rapid City, S.D., 21.1 percent in St. Cloud, Minn., and 21.4 percent in Rochester, Minn.

What accounts for the differences?

“Many of these choices are individual patient choices,” said Dr. John Thomas, medical director of Hospice of the Red River Valley, based in Fargo.

Some patients want aggressive cancer treatment even though the prognosis is grim, hoping they might somehow beat the odds and survive, he said, while others focus primarily on comfort care.

For instance, hospice recently cared for a 45-yearold man who has undergone three or four rounds of treatment, even though his chance of survival probably is low.

“He has small kids and wants to see them grow up,” Thomas said. A patient with different life circumstances might make a different choice.

Dr. Rhonda Ketterling, chief medical officer for Sanford Health’s Fargo region, agreed that lots of patient variables apply, including age and how

aggressively a group of oncologists are in treatment practices.

The availability and setting of hospice services also can be a factor. Sanford Health has hospice cottages available to patients in Sioux Falls but not in Fargo, for instance.

Instead, Sanford has a palliative care unit in its hospital campus on South University Drive in Fargo.

“The family can be with them there in a more intimate setting,” compared to a normal hospital room, Ketterling said.

Nonetheless, the patient still is in a hospital, something that could explain why Fargo has a higher proportion of cancer patients dying in a hospital than Sioux Falls, according to the statistics analyzed in the Dartmouth Atlas Project.

The authors of the study, which examined records of more than 235,000 Medicare patients, concluded that in some hospitals, patients weren’t receiving adequate counseling about their prognosis and options.

That could lead some patients to “acquiesce to more aggressive care without fully understanding its impact on the length and

quality of life,” said Dr. David Goodman, one of the lead investigators of the study.

Chemotherapy and other aggressive treatments can prolong life, but for frail, elderly patients — and any patient with advanced cancer — research has shown that such treatments have limited or no benefit, the Dartmouth report said.

Patient counseling and education do play an important role in end-of-life care, Ketterling said.

“Maybe we’re not having those conversations with patients early enough in the process,” she added.

Regional variations in medical practices exist throughout health care, as the Dartmouth Atlas Project has documented for years. A goal of health care reform is to reduce the variations and to cluster around what data and studies determine to be “best practices.”

“What’s the root cause of the variation?” Ketterling asked, referring to the percentage of cancer patients dying in the hospital. “Is 18 percent best practice, or is it 23 percent? I don’t know, but we want to look at what is the best practice.”

providers. On an alternate website it set up, the company said it was forced to shut down quickly after a plan to gradually close underperforming offices while raising capital failed and it was unable to get financing.

The company said it was working day and night to transfer patients to other dentists and provide them with their records. In Ohio, a network of 14 dental offices h a s a g re e d t o t a k e o n patients, and dental boards in other states also were providing assistance.

In New Hampshire, the attorney general’s office

opened the two Allcare offices for one day Thursday so patients could get their records. Reimers said about 800 people did so, though many were not able to get copies of their X-rays.

B e c a u s e t h e A l l c a re offices lacked proper equipment, other dentists in the area volunteered to make the copies. But one of those scanners broke, Reimers said, allowing just a fraction of those who requested X-rays to get them.

The Allcare website said an update would be posted Friday but nothing new had appeared by mid-afternoon.

Man sentenced on weapons charges FARGO (AP) — A North Carolina man who sold a stolen revolver to an undercover police officer in Grand Forks has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Danny Whitley had earlier pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

He had been convicted on multiple felony charges in North Carolina between 2002 and 2008.

Authorities say the 33-year-old Whitley sold the revolver for $350,000 when he knew the gun had been stolen in Montana.

The second charge was for possession of a .22-caliber rifle.

Whitley had faced a maximum sentence of 20 years.

Man gets 14 years for sex abuse MINOT (AP) — A judge says a Belcourt man must serve 14 years in prison on a sex abuse charge.

Garrett DeCoteau was convicted in federal court of aggravated sexual abuse. Authorities say DeCoteau engaged in a sexual act with his victim after repeatedly threatening and assaulting her at her home on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ordered the 36-yearold DeCoteau to pay nearly $6,500 in restitution and register as a sex offender.

DeCoteau faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

High-level official visiting Minot base MINOT (AP) — A high-level Air Force official is making a visit to Minot Air Force Base.

Lt. Gen. James Kowalski took over as commander of Global Strike Command during a ceremony at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on Thursday. He’s visiting airmen in Minot on Monday.

Global Strike Command was formed about a year and a half ago to oversee the nation’s nuclear-equipped missiles and bombers. The Minot base has both.

Cass County administrator resigning FARGO (AP) — The administrator of North Dakota’s most populous county plans to step down in June, after the 2011 Legislature and anticipated spring flooding in the Fargo region.

Cass County Administrator Bonnie Johnson has worked for the county for nearly 34 years. She began as a child support investigator and has been the county administrator since 1990, when the position was established.

County Commissioner Darrell Vanyo says she’ll be hard to replace.

Rauhauser scored twice and his younger brother, Alec, added a third as Century topped archrival Bismarck 3-1 on Saturday.

That Logan Rauhauser would have a hand in all three goals in a huge win for Century is no surprise.

The senior forward has 10 goals on the season and 60 for his career.

“Logan is one of those natural goal-scoring kids,” Olson said. “He has a nose for the net, he goes hard and he makes things happen.”

But Alec, a sophomore defenseman, is developing into an offensive threat in his own right. He has seven goals in as many games this season.

“Ni c e p re s e n c e o n (defense), moves the puck well, keeps his head up,” Olson said. “He obviously likes to jump into the play.

He does some things that are tough to coach.”

Century came into the game unbeaten in the West

Century 3, Bismarck 1 Region, but with a long history of struggling against Bismarck. Added to that list was a 2-1 loss to the Demons in a nonconference game at the Stadstad Classic in Grand Forks earlier this season.

But the Patriots came out fired up and snatched the lead after just 55 seconds on a goal from Logan Rauhauser.

“I just put it on net and the goalie got a piece, but didn’t get enough of it,” Rauhauser said. “... It kind of set the tempo for the rest of the game.”

Both teams struggled to generate chances the rest of the first period, but that wasn’t the case in an action-packed second.

Early in the period, Alec Rauhauser hit the right post with a long shot. The younger Rauhauser had better luck a few minutes later. After taking a feed from Logan, Alec took his time teeing up a wrist shot from the top of the right circle, firing it past Bismarck goalie Brett Malkmus. The power-play goal gave the Patriots a 2-0 lead with 8:53 left in the period.

The Demons countered with a couple of strong Continued on 6D

Century’s Zach Holmen, right, and Brady Spooner watch a goal get past Bismarck’s Brett Malkmus.

It’s true. The big Mo — momentum — has changed the outcome of many an athletic event over the years.

But Bismarck’s wrestlers showed Saturday that he’s susceptible to a firm punch in the nose and kick in the shins.

Friday’s action in the Bismarck Rotary Tournament ended with Sturgis, S.D., galloping up on Bismarck’s tail.

Saturday the Demons turned things around with a strong wrestleback performance and went on to win the Rotary by a comfortable 34 points, 213-179.

Bismarck outscored Sturgis 23-8 in wrestlebacks to start the day. Kip Jangula, the BHS 160-pounder, provided the centerpiece of that display, pinning Sturgis’ Clay

Kopplin in 2:35 to put the Demons in command 191 to 160.5.

Bismarck co-coach Scott Knowlen pointed to the Jangula-Kopplin match as pivotal before the day began.

Jangula felt the same way.

“It was a big match. Bismarck High and Sturgis were No. 1 and No. 2 in the tournament, and it means a lot when you can win under those circumstances,” Jangula said.

Comeback foiled

Holt makes it happen for Grovers in win

Thunderbird women run out of time in loss

By MICHAEL WEBER Bismarck Tribune One can’t help but wonder what might have been for Fargo Oak Grove had Evan Holt played in the 2010 Class B boys basketball state tournament last March.

Holt was the Grovers’ leading scorer (16.6 points per game) when he was ordered by his doctor to stop playing basketball and allow a fractured vertabrae in his lower back to heal.

That was late in the regular season. Oak Grove went on to qualify for the state tournament and finished sixth.

“Yes, we did miss Evan last year. We managed to make it to the state tournament, but we sure missed his scoring,” Oak Grove coach Kyle Card said. “He’s a very talented player who has the ability to score in bunches, and from anywhere on the court.”

On Saturday, Holt scored a gamehigh 23 points as the second-ranked Grovers improved to 10-0 with a 6454 victor y over 10thranked Dickinson Trinity during the Shiloh Christian New Year Invitational.

Holt tossed in 25 points the previous night in an 8365 victory over Solen.

“It’s great to be back again. I can’t tell you how tough it was having to sit out the whole postseason last year,” said Holt, a 6foot-3 guard. “It means a lot to be able to play my senior year. We have a lot of seniors and the expectations are pretty high for us.

We feel we have the talent to go a long way.”

It would have been easy to write off the United Tribes women’s basketball team Saturday against Dawson.

The Thunderbirds looked lethargic in the first 30 minutes of the MonDak contest, resulting in an 18-point deficit. What could have been a yawner turned into an exciting finish at the UTTC gym.

United Tribes put forth a charge but came up short in a 70-65 loss to the Buccaneers.

The Dawson men recorded a 77-64 triumph over the United Tribes men.

“We dug ourselves a big hole,” United Tribes coach Daryl Bearstail said. “In the first half we looked sluggish. We had no intensity, and it carried half way through the second half. It was too little too late.”

United Tribes looked to center Olivia Spotted Bear and guard Ashley Ross in its comeback. The pair combined to score 18 of the Thunderbirds’ final 25 points.

“We started looking to Olivia more,” Bearstail said, “and she started working harder to get open. Ashley was feeling it in the second half. She was big in our comeback. She started attacking and making good decisions.”

Wolves regress with 2 poor efforts in row

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer MINNEAPOLIS — When the week began with a narrow loss in Boston, Kurt Rambis and the Minnesota Timberwolves were speaking optimistically about being “this close” to turning the corner and piling up some victories.

Then came home defeats to short-handed Charlotte and Portland in which the young team showed little to no energy in the opening 24 minutes, and suddenly a fan base that was starting to show interest for the first time in years is asking — Are these the same old Timberwolves?

The talent says no. The record says yes.

A year ago the Wolves were 8-29 and muddling through what team President David Kahn called the tear-down before the rebuild. Roster decisions were based more on finances than wins and losses, and the disjointed team stumbled to a 15-67 finish, tied for the worst in franchise history.

There is no disputing that the Timberwolves have more talent and are in a better position financially this season. Kevin Love leads the league in rebounds and is pushing for an All-Star berth while Michael Beasley has

UP NEXT Minnesota at San Antonio, 6 p.m. today shown the potential to be the dynamic scorer that the team desperately needs. They also have about $14 million in cap room, an exorbitant amount that positions them well to improve the roster going forward.

Despite all those steps in the right direction, they are 9-28, just one win ahead of where they were at this time last season. All their talk of being close is starting to ring hollow, especially in the wake of consecutive lackluster efforts against Charlotte and Portland this week.

Players aren’t always following the coaches’ game plans. Rambis is making some puzzling strategic decisions and the team has been lifeless in front of its home crowd, a troubling development for a team that knows it cannot rely on mere talent to win games.

“The last two games, it’s been a little lackadaisical and nonchalant,” Beasley said. “You can’t do that, especially in the position we’re in trying to win every game we can.”

That doesn’t reflect well on the players or Rambis, 24-95 since tak-

ing over at the beginning of last season.

The Wolves trailed by 16 in the first half on Wednesday night against the Bobcats, who were missing leading scorers Stephen Jackson, Gerald Wallace and starting center Nazr Mohammed, and lost an eight-point lead with less than three minutes to play in a 108-105 overtime loss.

More of the same on Friday night against Portland, when Blazers guard Wesley Matthews scored 29 points in the first half and the Wolves trailed by as much as 24 points in the second quarter.

“That’s really they’re job. That’s what they have to figure out,” Rambis said about the poor starts.

“That’s the mark of a pro.

A real professional is somebody that delivers consistently night-in and night-out and not just every once in a while.

Because anybody can do that. ... And it’s hard. It’s not easy. It’s hard to gear yourself up and get ready to play each and every night.”

Making matters worse for Rambis, the coach has made two glaring tactical errors that have contributed to two of the team’s worst losses of the season.

Against Charlotte, Rambis sat starters Luke Ridnour and Darko Mili-

When the unit on the floor gave away the eight-point lead in the final three minutes, Rambis put Ridnour and Milicic back in the game cold, and both played poorly as the game slipped away.

Rambis later admitted that he “let some guys get too stiff on the bench” while trying to get struggling backup Jonny Flynn some more confidence by playing him late in the game.

Tw o n i g h t s l a t e r,

Matthews came out firing, hitting all five 3pointers he shot in the first quarter. He added two more from deep in the second period while rookie Wes Johnson and Beasley failed to close out on him time and again.

It wasn’t until the third quar ter that Rambis elected to put his best p e r i m e t e r d e f e n d e r, swingman Corey Brewer, on Matthews full-time.

Brewer held Matthews one field goal for the entire second half.

PGA: Tournament of Champions KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Robert Garrigus recovered from an atrocious start Saturday by holing a 50foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to join Steve Stricker and Jonathan Byrd in the lead at the Tournament of Champions.

In the notorious Kona wind — the toughest at Kapalua — Garrigus chunked a 4-iron into a hazard to open with double bogey and fol-

lowed with a bogey to quickly fall out of the lead. By the end of the third round, he was back where he started.

The eagle gave Garrigus a 4-under 69 and gave him a good chance to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2000 to win the season opener after winning the final event of the previous year.

Stricker turned an impossible lie into an unlikely birdie on the 12th hole, avoiding a loose piece of grass

behind his ball in the bunker by hitting a 4-iron to 5 feet. It was part of a five straight birdies that carried him to an 8-under 65, a score he didn’t think was possible in wind that makes the Plantation Course play at its longest.

Byrd was steady as usual. He nearly holed a wedge on the 16th and settled for a tap-in birdie, but his pitch to the 18th was just long enough that it trickled down a slope.

Grovers take down Titans

Dickinson Trinity’s Isaac Black blocks a shot by Fargo Oak Grove’s Shayden Akason on Saturday in the Shiloh Christian New Year Invite.

With Holt scoring 16 points and a relentless pressure defense wreaking havoc, Oak Grove built a 36-19 halftime lead and never looked back.

Holt closed out the first quarter with backto-back 3-pointers to give the Grovers a 16-9 advantage.

That capped off a 102 run. Later, he finished a half-ending 9-1 run with a dunk.

“That had to be one of the best halves of basketball we’ve played this

Bismarck 130-pounder Ryan Blees, one of three BHS individual champs, agreed.

“Those guys coming on strong on the back side was a huge help in winning the tournament,” he said.

The Demons strong consolation bracket effort was reflected in the numbers — 10 placers, including six in the top four.

All four Bismarck finalists — Bless, 145-pounder Drew Spaulding and 285-pounder Nick Nelson garnered championships. Jangula and Joe Schumacher at 140 added third-place finishes.

Defending champion Rapid City Stevens boasted nine placers, including 152pounder Jarrett Jensen and 171-pounder Kris Klapprodt, both of whom won the Rotary for the fourth time.

Sturgis, which was open at three weights, placed eight men, champions Tanner Bothwell (125), Terrance Maier (189) and Clint Wilson (215) among them.

Blees, a freshman, overcame a No. 5 seed to win the 130-pound title. He knocked off the No. 4, No. 1 and No. 3 seeds en route to the championship. Yet he denied pulling off a huge upset.

“I just wrestled tough. I wrestled the way I needed to wrestle to win them,” he said.

And that means ... “making as few mistakes as possible and staying tough the whole match.

“I knew there were some guys who were better than me that I had to beat to get to the finals, but I pulled it off,” he added.

This championship is the Demons’ third title in four years and Spaulding has had a hand in each one of them.

He’s reached the finals the past four years, winning twice.

Spaulding was seeded second at 145 pounds behind Napoleon’s Jared Reis, but scored the only two takedowns of the championship match. The only points he surrendered were two escapes and a stalling penalty.

“I felt I should beat him no matter what the seeds were,” Spaulding said. “He’s a great wrestler’ but I had to tell myself I was going to win.

But that was probably my toughest match of the year so far.”

Spaulding, a senior, said

Bismarck’s Ryan Blees, bottom, keeps a hold of Napoleon’s Ryan Becker for the 130-pound crown.

TOM STROMME/ Tribune coupling an individual title with a team championship in Bismarck’s home tournament makes for a nearly perfect weekend. “For me it was a great weekend,” he said.

Nelson echoed that.

“I was looking for the team to win it ... and this is the first time I’ve ever won the Rotary,” he said.

“When a coach gets me a good seed, that’s (the place) I want to get or I feel like I’ve let them down,” said Nelson, who was the top seed at 285.

St u r g i s a n d St e v e n s appeared to be strong contenders going into the tournament, but Jangula was confident the Demons

would win.

“Our team is almost fullstrength now, and this is just kind of what I expected,” the 160-pound junior said.

Ineligibilities and injuries have kept the BHS lineup in a state of flux all season.

Bismarck has now won 21 titles in the 44-year history of the Rotary. No other team has won more than five.

Jangula said the weekend’s effort augurs well.

“Winning a state championship is more than possible for our team when it’s at full strength,” he said. “... We’ve got to keep working hard in practice and everyone has got to do his part.”

It’s great to see your team play so well against good teams.”

The Grovers stretched their lead to 52-28 in the third quarter, but the Titans battled back to make it a nine-point game at 60-51 with 3:15 remaining in the contest. However, Trinity didn’t get closer the rest

of the way.

“We battled back ... we didn’t quit and we’re happy about that,” said Trinity coach Gregg Grinsteinner, whose team fell to 7-2. “But Oak Grove outexecuted us on both ends of the court, especially in the first half. They’re a very athletic team and we knew that coming in. They really rattled us with their pressure and they made the simple plays.

Dylan Dangerfield and Shayden Akason, who started on Oak Grove’s state tournament team last year, added 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Patriots beat Demons Continued from 1D chances of their own, but Century goalie Devon Butz was able to keep them off the board. The junior netminder came up with a nice pokecheck to stymie a Brandon Oliver breakaway.

Two minutes later the Demons had another breakaway, only to have Butz make a pad save on Jared Connell’s backhand.

“He came to play today for sure,” Olson said.

“When we had a lull and let down, he picked us up. ... I thought he had a great game.”

The Demons had a golden opportunity to get back in it when the Patriots took three quick penalties, resulting in a long 5-on-3 advantage for Bismarck.

BHS did capitalize, scoring on Jordan Hochhalter’s shot from the left point, which deflected off something on the way to the net.

That made it 2-1 with 7:46 still to play.

But two minutes later Century picked up another power-play goal of its own.

Again it was Logan Rauhauser, driving to the net and converting Spooner’s centering pass with 5:42 to go.

“Troy just wants us going hard to the net and putting p u c k s o n t h e n e t ,” Rauhauser said. “He doesn’t care for the cute goals. He wants the dirty goals.”

For Bismarck, which has scored just one goal in its last two games, it was a frustrating night.

H OMESTYLE

S ECTION E

Ashes to ashes, dust to ...

Wood-burning stoves, space heaters and furnaces all are popular ways to supplement — or even replace — the usual gas- and oil-fired furnaces in homes.

My neighbors, for example, have a wood-fired furnace and go through enough firewood each winter that they have three stacks out back and in their side yard.

STEVE BATIE

The stacks are different ages.

They burn the oldest pile one winter while the others weather and dry for next year and the year after.

It’s all very environmentally friendly and eco-good, because their wood comes from scrap oak and shelter-belt trimmings.

It all would have wound up in a dump or even been burned on site if they hadn’t salvaged it.

Of course, wood-burning is not without it problems.

Somebody has to cut the wood into stove-sized chunks, and someone has to stack it a termite-safe distance from buildings, and someone has to haul it to the basement and someone has to keep the fire stoked and bank it overnight.

In my neighbors’ case, someone is John.

And then there’s the issue of what to do with the leftovers.

Because after you’ve sucked the heat out of a pile of firewood, you still have the ashes to deal with.

Once again, my friends at “This Old House” come to the rescue, offering a bunch of suggestions for using wood ashes … and I’ve added a couple of my own.

■ De-skunk pets. A handful of ashes rubbed into your hunter’s coat neutralizes the lingering odor from an unfortunate run-in.

■ Hide stains on paving.

Keep a can of ashes handy when you’re painting near the driveway or walks. Sprinkle a handful on wet paint spatters, then blend them into the concrete with a boot scuffle.

■ Enrich compost. Before the organic mix is applied to soil, enhance its potassium content by sprinkling in a few ashes. But don’t over-do it.

Ashes, like lime, raise the soil’s alkalinity, so avoid using them around acid-loving rhododendrons, azaleas and junipers.

■ Block garden pests. Spread evenly around garden beds, ash repels slugs and snails. Dusted over growing plants, it keeps beetles and caterpillars at bay.

But you have to have a big supply of ashes; they wash off in the next rain.

■ Melt ice. Wood ashes add traction, and the dark color absorbs solar heat to melt ice without hurting the soil or the concrete underneath.

■ Control algae in your pond or other “water feature.”

One tablespoon per 1,000 gallons adds enough potassium to strengthen other aquatic plants that compete with algae, slowing its growth, ■ Pump up tomatoes. For the calcium-loving plants, place 1/4 cup of ashes in each hole when planting, ■ Clean fireplace doors. It seems counter to all logic, but a damp sponge dipped in the dust is said to be just abrasive enough to scrub away sooty residue from glass doors.

Today’s dining rooms are versatile

By MELISSA RAYWORTH For The Associated Press For generations, families ate in their kitchens and only ventured into their dining rooms on special occasions. The dining room was a place for guests, where stiff-backed chairs and fragile china kept everyone on their best behavior.

But as our lives have changed, so have our dining rooms.

Today’s dining rooms are used in more ways than ever before, says HGTV host Genevieve Gorder. They merge comfort and beauty to create a space where people want to linger.

Gorder and interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn of decordemon.com and Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles share the trends they’ve spotted and offer tips to create a perfect — and perfectly useful — dining room.

Multi-tasking at the table Many home-owners now see the dining room as a flexible space where meals are not the only priority. In many homes, the dining room table is the go-to location for working on art projects, wrapping gifts and doing homework, says Flynn. So people are seeking durable tables that can withstand plenty of attention, rather than carefully polished ones that are easily scratched.

Dining room storage has also changed: The dining room may double as a home office, with a laptop and paperwork stashed in the sideboard during meals.

Many people have moved their formal dishes to kitchen cabinets, where more storage space allows the good china to be stored alongside the everyday dishes and displayed in glass kitchen cabinets.

Dining room storage may now be filled with anything from office supplies to children’s toys.

Burnham recently designed built-in cabinets for a client’s dining room that were made to hold art supplies rather than dishes.

Mixing and matching The days of the perfectly matched suite of furniture — the “dining room set” — are over. In designer-decorated homes, you’re more likely to see deliberately mismatched chairs and a table that contrasts starkly with the room’s other furniture.

“Even retailers like West Elm are catching on” with this trend, Flynn says. They may offer matching chairs for the ends of the table and then a mix of seating for the sides that includes benches and chairs.

People are also mixing materials and textures: “The dining table may be some type of stone and the chairs some type of wood,” Flynn says, “and the sideboard may be made with mirror or metal or clad with a decorative finish. Everything has its own evolved, separate look.”

Flynn likes to buy “six or eight chairs that are all different, or maybe just two or three are the same,” he says. “Then I strip them myself with sandpaper, add spray

Burnham advises testing out new dining chairs before you buy them, since you want your table to be a place where people will enjoy lingering for hours.

primer, then spray on a glossy spray-paint” to make every chair the same color.

He upholsters all the chairs in the same fabric to bring a cohesive look to this eclectic mix of furniture styles.

Using mismatched china is also big, Gorder says, including “mixing a few pieces of Grandma’s china” with sleek modern dishware.

Table linens can be a broad mix of casual cottons and formal linens layered together.

The dining room can be a perfect place to let your creativity run wild, Burnham says. If you don’t spend extended hours there during a given week, then bolder colors and patterns work well.

Dining without fear We’ve moved away from “the severity of antiques we’re afraid to touch,” Gorder says, and moved towards “the rustic elegance” of the big farmhouse tables you might

find in Provence or Italy.

“It feels like, ‘Yes, this is a very special piece. But I can drop a plate on it and not cry and not get in trouble,’” she says.

As comfort has become a priority, pretty but unforgiving chairs are definitely out.

Burnham advises testing out new dining chairs before you buy them, since you want your table to be a place where people will enjoy lingering for hours.

The goal is a comfortable, welcoming space that is special but not intimidating.

Flynn likes to create new pieces that give a nod to the formality of the past: “For a custom-looking sideboard,” he says, “find an old dining room table at a flea market” that has some ornate woodwork.

“Saw it in half the long way, directly down the middle and fix it to a wall, and paint it a bold color.”

Not handy? It should be relatively inexpensive to hire a carpenter for the job.

Embracing the cooking In the past, “cooking wasn’t something to be looked at” when guests came over, Gorder says. “Now it’s become a performance,” so people are knocking down walls to give the dining table a better view of the kitchen.

“The kitchen is now the stage, where everything happens, where everyone wants to be,” she says. “It’s the sexiest thing going on.”

The popularity of open-plan houses has meant that separate, formal dining rooms are less common.

“There are still dining rooms in older homes that are completely separate and completely wonderful,” Gorder says, but they aren’t the only option.

Over the decades, one detail hasn’t changed: Warm, soft lighting in a dining room remains important. In addition to an overhead fixture, Burnham likes including a lamp or two to bring a gentle, flattering glow.

“It’s always kind,” Burnham says, “to make people look good.”

HOROSCOPES

BY HOLIDAY

Woman in affair is reaching her limit

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Merely being in the vicinity of a certain person changes your whole outlook and experience. Is this connection you feel physical, psychic or cosmic? Perhaps it’s all three.

Dear Annie: Five years ago, I became friends with “Jim.” As our friendship deepened, it turned into something more. I’ve never had a relationship with such mutual respect and understanding. We even started a business together.

The problem is, Jim is married. From the beginning, he made no promises, and I had no expectations that he would change his life for me.

I’ve dated a few other people during this time, which has made Jim extremely jealous.

And, frankly, my love for Jim has made it impossible for me to fully open myself up to anyone else.

After all this time, I want to stop worrying about getting caught. I know I should walk away, but with our mutual business interests, that would be both difficult and suspicious. And even if we did try to end things, our constant contact would make it nearly impossible to keep our personal distance.

HOLIDAY MATHIS

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your essence radiates beyond what is contained in your skin. The substance of the stars shines through your every cell, and the light reaches to the far corners of the universe.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be in harmony with someone who knows how to bring out the best in you. It’s like your heart is made of chimes and this person is the wind. You make beautiful music together.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be wary of anyone who is just saying what he or she thinks you want to hear. If the words feel false and don’t resonate with you, look elsewhere for answers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Ask for what you really want, and you’ll get it. If you ask for what you think you should want, it’s not the same thing. Your needs are different from those of others. Figure out what they are and ask.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You are your own best opponent. You offer just the challenge that will be most motivating. You will try to beat your own last score and do the best you’ve ever done.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you give, it obligates the other person to reciprocate — but that’s not why you do it. Your gift comes purely from the heart, and you will be received in kind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s no joy in getting credit for something you didn’t do. You’ll be praised for one thing when you really ought to be recognized for something else entirely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Keep it real.

Just because you are being yourself does not mean everyone will accept you.

But those who do will accept the real you, and that feels good and right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Having a greater number of relationships (or virtual relationships, as the case may be) might mean you are popular, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re happier. Focus on your closest relationships now.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20Feb. 18). To get closer to someone, you must depend on this person and have this person depend on you. That’s why doing everything yourself doesn’t work. It breeds resentment. Let down your guard. Ask for help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The need to please is a kind of disease that separates you from who you really are. Please yourself.

Life will get much simpler, and you’ll have a blast catering to your own needs.

Got pinkeye? Here’s how to deal with it My eye is red and itchy. Do you think I have pinkeye?

Conjunctivitis is a term to describe inflammation or irritation to the conjunctiva; the protective layer covering the sclera, or white part of the eye. When the conjunctiva is inflamed, dilated blood vessels make it look bright red, which is why the condition is more commonly called pinkeye.

Besides redness of the eye, symptoms of conjunctivitis include itching, burning, mattering around the lashes and puffiness and redness around the eyes. Often, people feel a sandy or gritty sensation, as if something is stuck in the eye.

There are several causes of conjunctivitis, the most common one being infection. Eye infections can be caused by viruses or bacteria; often it is difficult to distinguish between the two.

Vegan diets become more mainstream

By MICHAEL HILL Associated Press You’ve come a long way, vegan.

Once mocked as a fringe diet for sandal-wearing health food store workers, veganism is moving from marginal to mainstream in the United States.

The vegan “Skinny Bitch” diet books are best-sellers, vegan staples like tempeh and tofu can be purchased at just about any supermarket, and some chain restaurants eagerly promote their plantonly menu items. Today’s vegans are urban hipsters, suburban moms, college students, even professional athletes.

“It’s definitely more diverse. It’s not what you would picture 20 years ago, which is kind of hippie, crunchy,” said Isa Chandra Moskowitz, author of vegan cookbooks like the new “Appetite for Reduction.”

She says it’s easier being a vegan now because there is more local produce available and more interesting ways of cooking.

“It’s not just steamed vegetables anymore and brown rice and lentils,” she said.

Veganism is essentially hard-core vegetarianism.

While a vegetarian might butter her bagel or eat a cake made with eggs, vegans shun all animal products: No meat, no cheese, no eggs, no honey, no mayonnaise. Ethical vegans have a moral aver-

sion to harming animals for human consumption, be it for a flank steak or leather shoes, though the term often is used to describe people who follow the diet, not the larger philosophy.

It’s difficult to come up with hard numbers of practicing vegans. There’s a blurry line between people who define themselves as vegan and vegetarian and some eaters dip in and out plantonly diets. For instance, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman has described his “vegan till 6” health plan, in which he becomes more omnivorous in the evening.

In a 2009 survey, advocates at the not-for-profit Vegetarian Resource Group

Exhibit A would be the “Skinny Bitch” diet books, which provide vegan lifestyle tips in a blunt, girlfriend-onthe-phone style (Sample passage: “Soda is liquid Satan. It is the devil.”).

Ve g a n i s m h a s b e e n buoyed by the same healthconscious wave that has drawn Americans in unprecedented numbers to low-fat, vegetarian and organic foods. The idea of eating lower on the food chain is especially attractive to environmentally conscious consumers, since large-scale meat production is a major source of greenhouse gases.

reported about 1 percent of Americans are vegan, roughly a third of the people who reported being vegetarians. A separate survey released last year by the same group found a similar breakdown for Americans ages 8 to 18.

That makes veganism something short of a fad sweeping the nation like low-carb once did. Consider that while Kraft Foods reports that it shipped out more Boca Original Vegan Burger Patties and Boca Ground Crumbles last year, the increase was a modest 1 percent. Still, there are plenty of signs that vegans have pushed beyond their old, exclusive cocoon that

This guy may be old, retired and lonely. Maybe mowing keeps him busy.

Perhaps she could meet with other neighbors and let them know how kind he is, and then suggest they invite him to mow their lawns, too.

— Focusing on the Good Dear Focusing: You are probably right. Still, “Nervous” has already asked the guy to stop, and since she is home alone all day, his unexpected presence is making her uncomfortable. There may be no reason to worry, but these days, you never know.

China plans marriage database BEIJING (AP) — China’s exploding wealth has created a culture of secret mistresses and second wives.

Now officials are putting marriage records online so lovers and spouses can check for cheaters.

State media on Wednesday said Beijing and Shanghai will be among the first places to put marriage databases online this year. The plan is to have records for all of China online by 2015.

But the Ministry of Civil Affairs a few years ago said such a project would be

operational by last year. Officials have not explained the delay, but not all areas have their databases ready yet.

Ministry numbers show 23 of the country’s 22 provinces, four regions and four municipalities do.

Bigamy is illegal in China, and corruption inspectors with the ruling Communist Party have said several officials have been guilty. That includes the former head of the National Bureau of Statistics, Qiu Xiaohua, expelled from the party in 2007.

Scholarship fund The city of Fargo recently honored its military members by donating to a new scholarship fund created for military families. The city donated $1,000 to the North Dakota Dollars for Scholars Military Scholarship Fund, with funds being reserved for full-time students who are dependents of North Dakota military members.

For 2011, the fund will provide a minimum of 10 $1,000 scholarships. More will be provided as donations are received. The criteria for selection for the award include: applicant must have a 2.5 grade-point average or higher and be a fulltime student; must be the dependent of a member of a No r t h Da k o t a m i l i t a r y unit/installation; and must be a graduate of or currently live in a Dollars for Scholars community.

JOB WEEK

GET YOUR MONEY RIGHT GRADUATING TO A FIRST JOB. READY, SET SAVE!

By Melanie Wanzek CTW FEATURES Finally, a job! For young people settling in their first job post-graduation, it's tempting to focus on earning money. Saving for the future is way down on the To Do list.

It's understandable. Students graduate with more debt than ever before.

According to a recent report by The Project on Student Debt, college seniors who graduated in 2009 carried an average of $24,000 in student loan debt, up 6 percent from the previous year. But when they land that first job, experts say it's time to start saving.

"Oftentimes young adults will postpone saving for retirement because they want to get out of debt before they start to save," says Matt Brandeburg, certified financial planner and author of "Financial Planning for Your First Job" (Booksurge Publishing, 2009). "This is very idealistic, but not very practical. If we all waited to be debt-free to begin saving, very few of us would ever be able to retire."

Brandeburg recommends young workers attempt to deposit 5 to 10 percent of their gross income (total income before taxes) in savings, investment or retirement accounts.

He says people need an average of 25 times their annual living expenses saved up by the time they retire.

Though that number might seem staggering - someone living on $50,000 each year would need to save around $1.3 million - even saving $25 to $50 each month can start good saving patterns.

A slow, methodical plan implemented over the course of many years will then eventually achieve the goal.

Brian Levy, consultant for Retirementplanning.net, says compounding interest can mean a young person who starts saving a little each month in their 20s will end up with much more than someone who starts saving even just 10 years later.

offers to match what you save. If so, Levy says the employee should take full advantage of it as soon as possible. In addition, set up a savings account or CD as a cash reserve. To determine an amount of savings to aim for, add up all monthly expenses (including rent, food, utilities and other regular expenditures) and aim for 3 to 6 times that number. Though it may take awhile to build up, setting a goal will help ensure steady progress.

Brandeburg says young people also forget that saving sometimes means spending. Purchasing adequate insurance is important to protect oneself from unexpected events that could drain savings. He recommends auto, homeowner's, health, disability and possibly life insurance as a minimum.

"When you think about managing your money, you need to look beyond investing and what's in your retirement accounts," he says. "It's during difficult times such as this that a traffic accident, house fire or medical crisis could devastate your plan. There are money-saving strategies you can employ for each type of insurance if you know where to look and what questions to ask."

Remember, financial planners aren't just for the well established.

Brandeburg says it takes a financial planner an average of three to five years to erase a new client's past mistakes. Once they're earning money, even young people can and should take advantage of expert assistance to start a savings plan off on the right foot.

"The more you save now, the earlier you can retire," Levy says. "By having a solid retirement plan, you can retire more comfortably. Money won't dictate your choices. You can work on passion projects or do the things you've always dreamed of." (c) CTW Features

"Young people may not have much money to invest, but time is a very valuable asset," he says. After starting a job, check right away whether the company offers an employer-sponsored 401(k) program and whether it

TA-TA, MENTOR? By dawn klingensmith CTW FEATURES

Are mentorships dead? If not, perhaps they should be, argue some business leaders and career coaches.

"A lot of people ask how to find a mentor. The answer is, don't bother," says Priscilla Claman, president of Career Strategies Inc. in Boston..

She believes traditional, one-on-one mentorships are so outdated that she likens them to avocado-hued appliances from the 1960s. But though that may be funny, she has also gone so far as to say that relying on mentorships for career development is dangerous.

While there are still corporate-sponsored mentorship programs, "The career strategy of hitching your future to some rising manager has a lot of potential to backfire," Claman says.

Middle- and senior-level managers are no longer the ones with stable jobs, she points out. "The chances in this climate that your mentor will be fired, move on or be merged out of existence are

high. If you are considered your mentor's special protégé, you could share the same fate or face the difficult challenge of reestablishing yourself."

What up-and-comers need instead is a carefully selected board of directors for their career, Claman says. Also called a personal developmental network, this group is consulted regularly for advice and feedback, though there are no formal meetings. In fact, "There's no need to even inform each person of his or her status as a board member," Claman says.

Board members should know more than the up-and-comer about something he or she needs to get ahead and they should provide the person with different points of view.

Like a real board of directors, a personal board is made up of specialists. There may be subject or industry experts, someone skilled in communication and workplace politics, a risk management person and a visionary.

No single mentor can contribute as much to a person's career, or do as much to broaden his or her network, than a personal board of directors, Claman argues.

However, there are still career management consultants who say there's no substitute for one-on-one mentoring.

"More than anything, you want a mentor who has done exactly what you're trying to do," says Linda Henman, president, Henman Performance Group, Town & Country, Mo. "Who wants a ski instructor who has never been down a hill?"

The problem with the board concept is that even though one person in particular may have the best answer, "Too often, the person needing the mentoring will work for consensus," Henman says.

However, a "mastermind group" can be a great addition to a mentor, she adds.

These are goal-oriented people who meet regularly to exchange ideas, offer encouragement and constructive criticism, and hold one another accountable. (c) CTW Features
