A LITTLE OVERHEATED

Not so fast Committee work waters down teen driving bill

By REBECCA BEITSCH Bismarck Tribune A bill that would have put restrictions on teenage drivers through a graduated drivers license has been watered down through the committee process.

House Bill 1256, sponsored by Rep. George Keiser, R-Bismarck, would have greatly impacted the teen driving experience by requiring most teens to hold a permit for one year and then drive for one year with an inter mediate license before getting their full license at age 16.

“The makeup of the committee is such that I didn’t think they’d like the overall concept, and clearly, they didn’t.”

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE: Bismarck firefighters were called to extinguish a car fire in downtown Bismarck on Friday afternoon. The fire was confined the engine compartment, but the 1984 Honda was considered a loss, said owner John Prudente of Mandan. “I was just out and about for the day when it just started on fire,” said Prudente, “and I don’t think it’s fixable, the hood’s all damaged.” The fire caused the closure of Main Avenue between Third and Fourth streets until the vehicle was towed away.

Alternatives to sleeping separately to get good rest

By JENNY MICHAEL and LEANN ECKROTH Bismarck Tribune A 38-year-old Bismarck woman could face charges after allegedly fleeing her vehicle, with four children inside it, after a crash, then punching and kicking a police officer who stopped her.

According to a police report, six people were injured in the crash Friday morning on East Main Avenue in Bismarck. Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena said the crash remains under investigation, including how the vehicles collided. The incident involved a Toyota van driven by the 38-year-old woman, who had four passengers between the ages of 2 and 7, and a 1999 Chevrolet driven by a 24-year-old Mandan woman. No names are being released yet, because both drivers could face charges and the passengers are considered victims, Buschena said.

Buschena said officers responded to the crash on the 1000 block of East Main Avenue shortly after 9 a.m.

Wireless technology could signal demise

By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer NEW YORK — As cell phones have spread, so have large cell towers — those unsightly stalks of steel topped by transmitters and other electronics that sprouted across the country over the last decade.

Now the wireless industry is planning a future without them, or at least without many more of them.

Instead, it’s looking at much smaller antennas, some tiny enough to hold in a hand.

These could be placed on lampposts, utility poles and buildings — virtually anywhere with electrical and network connections.

If the technology overcomes some hurdles, it could upend the wireless industry and offer seamless

Some big names in the wireless world are set to demonstrate “small cell” technologies at the Mobile World Congress, the world’s largest cell phone trade show, which starts Monday in Barcelona, Spain.

“We see more and more towers that become bigger and bigger, with more and bigger antennas that come to obstruct our view and clutter our landscape and are simply ugly,” said Wim Sweldens, president of the wireless division of AlcatelLucent, the French-U.S. maker of telecommunications equipment.

Obama lauds Gibbs, returns tie WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made a rare appearance in the White House briefing room Friday to mark his longtime aide Robert Gibbs’ last day at the White House — and to give Gibbs his old tie back.

Gibbs is leaving the White House after two years as press secretary and one of the president’s closest advisers.

Gibbs, 39, has worked for Obama since his 2004 Senate campaign. He was with Obama in Boston during the Democratic convention that year when Obama delivered the keynote address that catapulted him into the national spotlight.

Obama said Friday that it wasn’t what he would say in that speech that caused the most concern that night: It was which tie he would wear.

“Then somebody turned and said ‘You know what, what about Gibbs’ tie? That might look good,’” Obama said. “And, frankly, Robert didn’t want to give it up.”

Gibbs eventually did hand over the blue tie he was wearing, Obama said. On Friday, Obama gave Gibbs that tie back, framed in a glass case, along with a photo of Obama from the convention.

Man gets 60 years in Levy slaying WASHINGTON (AP) — The man convicted of killing Washington intern Chandra Levy nearly a decade ago was sentenced Friday to 60 years in prison, a term that could keep him behind bars the rest of his life.

Ingmar Guandique would not be released from prison until he was at least about 80 years old, assuming he lives that long, said District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher. The judge, who called Guandique a dangerous person and sexual predator, said the sentence would ensure he was not a danger to the community if he is released.

Guandique was convicted in November of first-degree murder in Levy’s 2001 disappearance and death, despite a lack of witnesses and no DNA evidence linking him to the crime.

During Friday’s sentencing hearing, Levy’s mother, S u s a n L e v y, a s k e d Guandique directly if he had been responsible for her daughter’s death. He looked her in the eyes and shook his head.

“Mr. Guandique, you are lower than a cockroach,” Susan Levy told Guandique, calling him a “hideous creature” before closing her statement with: “(Expletive) you.”

Guandique, wearing an orange jumpsuit, said in a brief statement in Spanish that he was sorry for what happened to Levy. But, he added, “I had nothing to do with it. I am innocent.”

THE INSIDE STORY

Gas pump prices jump Highest ever for mid-Feb.

By CHRIS KAHN AP Energy Writer NEW YORK — U.S. gasoline prices have jumped to the highest levels ever for the middle of February. The national average hit $3.127 per gallon on Friday, about 50 cents above a year ago.

The price is about 6 percent higher than on this date in 2008. The next day, pump prices began a string of 32 gains over 34 days.

They rose 39 percent over five months, eventually hitting an all-time high of $4.11 per gallon in July.

Although gas prices are expected to rise, most experts aren’t expecting a reprise of 2008, when the price spike forced many drivers to join car pools and trade in gas-guzzling SUVs for fuel-efficient cars.

“It would be a mistake to think we’re going to have that all over again,” said OPIS chief oil analyst Tom Kloza.

He says oil demand will slide in the U.S. by May, as refineries slow fuel production while they switch to summer blends of gas.

World oil consumption also may not rise as much as expected.

And Kloza contends that oil traders are more cautious now, after getting burned when oil plunged to $33 per barrel in early 2009, just six months after hitting $147 per barrel. Even the most bullish traders no

The price of fuel is adjusted at a gas station in Lincoln, Neb., on Feb. 3. longer think they can chase commodity prices higher without risk, he says.

Still, Kloza expects gas to reach $3.50 to $3.75 per gallon this spring because of the usual run-up in prices ahead of the summer driving season. That would mean an increase of 12 to

20 percent from the current level.

Gasoline climbed almost 10 percent since November as oil prices rose because of factors including stronger demand from China, a frigid winter in the U.S. and tension in Egypt, Kloza said.

The price of Brent crude, a key oil contract that also influences U.S. gasoline prices, hit $100 per barrel in January for the first time since 2008.

“It was a perfect storm,” said Kloza.

Oil prices retreated Friday after Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak handed over power to the military and left Cairo.

Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for March delivery fell $1.15 to settle at $85.58 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That’s lower than the price on Jan. 25, when the demonstrations in Egypt began.

Investors have been concerned that the antigovernment protests over the past 18 days could spread to other parts of the Middle East and disrupt oil supplies. Now that Mu b a r a k h a s s t e p p e d down, the military says it will oversee a democratic transition to a new government.

“The market is getting whipsawed,” oil analyst Stephen Schork said.

“Everyone is playing the card that stability in Egypt is good for oil” shipments.

In other Nymex trading for March contracts, heating oil fell 1.49 cents to settle at $2.6958 per gallon and gasoline lost less than a penny to settle at $2.4652 per gallon. Natural gas lost 7.6 cents to settle at $3.910 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In London, Brent crude fell 50 cents to settle at $100.94 a barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange.

House GOP unveils deep cuts

By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Friday proposed cutting hundreds of programs across the face of government in a $61 billion package of spending cuts toughened at the last minute at the demand of tea partybacked lawmakers.

Few domestic programs were left untouched — and some were eliminated — in the measure, which is expected to reach the floor for a vote next week.

In contrast, spending on defense and veterans’ programs were protected.

The measure marks an initial down payment by newly empowered Republicans on their promise to rein in federal deficits and reduce the size of government.

Democrats harshly criticized the bill within moments of its formal unveiling, signaling the onset of weeks of partisan struggle over spending priorities.

But first-term Republican conservatives claimed victory after forcing their own leadership to expand a package of spending cuts headed for debate on the House floor next week. “$100 billion is $100 billion is $100 billion,” said Rep. Tim Scott R-S.C., referring to amount the revised package would cut from President Barack Obama’s budget request of a year ago.

That was the amount contained in the Republican “Pledge to America” in last fall’s campaign, and when party leaders initially suggested a smaller package of cuts this week, many of the 87-member freshman class who have links to the tea party rebelled.

In fact, even some Republicans acknowledged privately the legislation will cut about $61 billion from current spending on domestic spending.

No details were immediately available. The earlier draft legislation had called for termination of at least 60

federal programs and cuts in hundreds more.

While Republicans rejoiced, Democrats attacked.

“If we’re trying to improve the economy and get people back to work, this will be counterproductive,” said Rep. Norman Dicks of Washington, the senior Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.

While the 48-hour revolt by tea party-backed conservatives roiled the party this week, its conclusion could mean an easier path to passage for the spending cut bill when it reaches the House floor.

“The leadership responded to the concerns of those who are far to the right of the middle,” said Scott.

The cuts will become part of a spending bill that is needed to keep the government in operation through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. The current funding authority expires on March 4.

Passage in the Republi-

can-controlled House would send the bill to the Senate, where Democrats control a majority and are certain to support more generous funding levels.

Barring a compromise before March 4, the two houses will be under pressure to agree on a short-term bill to keep the federal government operating without interruptions.

Even that could prove difficult to achieve, though, and Democrats assert that Republicans will resort to a government shutdown in order to get their way.

“It is time for the House Republicans to stop with the games and finally rule out a government shutdown once and for all. Stop being coy about it and take it off the table,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Congressional Republicans were damaged politically in 1995, when a protracted dispute over funding with President Bill Clinton led to a government shutdown.

Cowboys waited months to seek seat permits

By SCHUYLER DIXON and DANNY ROBBINS Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys didn’t obtain a permit to install temporary seating at Cowboys Stadium until about three weeks before the Super Bowl, despite being informed of Arlington’s requirements five months ahead of the big game, according to records released by the city Friday.

City and stadium officials then scrambled to prepare the temporary seating for the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, the records show, but about 1,250 of the seats were deemed unsafe — and about 400 fans who had bought tickets with a

face value of $800 had nowhere to sit.

E-mails between Ed Dryden, Arlington’s chief building official, and Jack Hill, the stadium’s general manager, show the city began asking about the permit last September but didn’t receive a request for it until Jan. 13. The lack of a response during the intervening months prompted at least one reminder from Dryden.

Dryden told The Associated Press on Friday that the seats could have been installed properly despite the delay in getting the plans to his office.

Associated Press “It isn’t a real complex project,” he said. “There’s not a lot of detail A section of empty seats at Cowboys Stadium before the NFL football involved in the plan review, so it Super Bowl XLV game between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. would have been possible.”

Image of disfigured Afghan woman wins photo prize

By TOBY STERLING Associated Press AMSTERDAM — A South African photographer’s portrait of an Afghan woman whose husband sliced off her nose and ears in a case of Taliban-administered justice won the World Press Photo award for 2010 Friday, one of photojournalism’s most coveted prizes.

Jodi Bieber’s posed picture, which contrasts the woman’s arresting beauty against the results of the violence done to her after she fled an abusive marriage, was published on the cover of Time magazine Aug. 1.

Bieber, 44, a winner of eight previous World Press Photo awards since 1998, is a freelance photojournalist affiliated with the Institute for Artist Management/Goodman Gallery. She has published two books on her native South Africa.

Jury members said the photo, though shocking, was chosen because it addresses violence against women with a dignified image.

Bismarck Tribune ■ Bismarcktribune.com

The woman, 18-year-old Bibi Aisha, was rescued by the U.S. military and now lives in America.

“This could become one of those pictures — and we have maybe just 10 in our lifetime — where if somebody says ‘you know, that picture of a girl’ — you know exactly which one they’re talking about,” said jury chairman David Burnett of Contact Press.

The picture also gains part of its resonance from its similarity with the iconic 1984 National Geographic photograph of a beautiful young Afghan woman with a piercing gaze.

Time’s publication of the picture provoked international debate over the ethics of publishing — or not publishing — such a disturbing image.

“It’s a terrific picture, a different picture, a frightening picture,” said Juror Vince Aletti, an American freelance critic. “It’s so much about not just this particular woman, but the state of women in the world.”

Americans not keen on Iran, N. Korea NEW YORK (AP) — Americans are not too keen on Iran and North Korea, are all right with Canada and Britain, and are thinking better thoughts about France, according to Gallup’s annual World Affairs poll, released Friday.

Iran and North Korea have been the two lowest-rated countries in the poll every year since 2004. This year they tied at the bottom with only 11 percent favorability ratings, according to the poll.

The poll found that Americans have the most positive view of Canada, at 92 percent, followed closely by Britain at 88 percent. Those two countries have been the top-ranked throughout the 11-year history of the poll.

They were followed in the rankings by Germany (82 percent), Japan (80 percent) and India (72 percent).

France’s favorability rating

topped 70 percent in the poll for the first time since 2002.

Its ranking has steadily recovered since hitting a low of 34 percent in 2003 when Americans’ views of France soured in the run-up to the I r a q w a r, w h i c h Pa r i s opposed.

Americans’ favorable opinions of South Korea have also been steadily rising, from 49 percent in 2001 to 65 percent in the current poll.

The United States and South Korea reached a free trade agreement at the end of last year; it’s awaiting ratification in both countries’ legislatures.

At the same time, Americans’ opinions of Mexico have plummeted in recent years, from 74 percent in 2005 to 45 percent this year.

Gallup said the decline is likely attributable to the controversy over illegal immigra-

year — an 18-point drop from last year’s poll — the biggest change in any single country’s ratings from 2010.

The poll was conducted from Feb. 2-5 when Egypt was rocked by anti-government protests that made Americans more aware of the Mideast ally’s autocratic government, Gallup said. The protests forced Egyptan President Hosni Mubarak to give up power on Friday.

Israel was viewed favorably by 68 percent of Americans, while the Palestinian Authority only had a 19 percent favorability rating.

Americans were more evenly divided in their opinions about Russia (51 percent) and China (47 percent).

Mildred Swensrud STANLEY — Mildred Swensrud, 93, Stanley, died Feb. 8, 2011, in a Minot hospital. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14, at First Baptist Church, Stanley.

Egyptians in U.S. cheer on Arab unity

By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press NEW YORK — Waves of celebration rippled out of Egypt and washed onto U.S. shores Friday as EgyptianAmericans looked to a future of democracy and Arab unity after the departure of President Hosni Mubarak and his three decades of authoritarian rule.

Crowds gathered in New York, suburban Detroit and the nation’s capital to mark Egyptians’ success at toppling a leader after three weeks of sometimes-violent protests across Egypt that many feared would end in futility.

“I feel freer than I’ve ever felt in my life, although I’m 10,000 miles away from my homeland,” said Ashraf

Abdelhalim, 47, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side near one of the largest mosques in the New York area, where at least 60,000 Egyptian-Americans live.

Even while in America, he said, he felt “the oppression and the fear” from Mubarak’s reign. “Now the dictator is gone,” he said.

Sherine El-Abd found herself sobbing with joy at her home in Clifton, N.J. A board member of the Washingtonbased nonprofit Arab American Institute, she predicted that the military in Egypt will “oversee a clean, democratic election.”

“Listen, if the person with the thickest skin and the densest brain in the world — Mubarak — got the message the military gave him, the message is loud and clear,”

FROM 1A

was nothing that could be done. It’s good that he did what he did,” former Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, who knew Mubarak well and spoke to him just a day earlier, told Israel TV’s Channel 10.

The boisterous street celebrations erupted within moments of the dramatic announcement by Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman that Mubarak had stepped down. The success of Egypt’s protesters in ousting a longtime ruler came less than a month after a pro-democracy movement in Tunisia pushed dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali into exile in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 14.

The breakneck speed of developments, after decades of authoritarian rule in many Arab countries, left some of those celebrating Friday wondering where regime change might come next.

El-Abd said.

People gathering at the Lebanese American Heritage Club in Dearborn, Mich., the heart of the nation’s largest Arab-American community, expressed hopes for a domino effect in the Arab world.

“The Arabs were taken for granted,” said Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani. “And you know what happened? The Arabs presented to the world one of the most wonderful revolutions in modern history.”

In Washington, a small group gathered before a rally at the Egyptian Embassy, signing the Egyptian national anthem. Two young girls held signs reading, “EGYPT CHANGE.” “This is a new day for Arabs all together,” said

Radia Daoussi, a 40-year-old Tunisian who said she wanted to show solidarity with the Egyptian people.

Hisham Morgan, 34, director of the MuslimAmerican Society Youth Center in New York, agreed it was time to congratulate the Egyptian people — and the world.

“I am very hopeful for Egypt,” he said. “I see a lot of love between the Egyptians — Christians, Muslims, the youth, everyone.”

Gatherings were also happening today in Los Angeles, in addition to larger, betterorganized ones nationwide set for Saturday.

Nearly 200,000 U.S. residents identify themselves as Egyptian, according to a 2009 survey by the Census Bureau.

Omar Zaki, a 44-year-old

insurance agency owner who lives in Riverside, Calif., said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he read the caption under the television images of jubilant protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

“I almost had to pinch myself,” he said. He believes the movement will ripple throughout the Middle East, noting the old Arabic saying that Egypt is the “mother of the world.”

“What happens there makes a significant difference,” he said.

Spontaneous celebrations dotted the New York area.

People met up near the Egyptian Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan or waved flags Friday after noon prayers on Steinway Street in Queens’ Astoria neighborhood.

seemed overwhelmed during the upheaval, fumbling to juggle its advocacy of democracy and the right to protest, its loyalty to longtime ally Mubarak and its fears the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood — or more radical groups — could gain a foothold. Mubarak’s fall came 32 years to the day after the collapse of the shah’s government in Iran, the prime example of a revolution that turned to Islamic militancy.

In Egypt, persecuted democracy activists frequently denounced the U.S. government for not coming down harder on Mubarak’s rights abuses. Washington’s mixed messages during the crisis frustrated the young protesters. They argued that while the powerful Brotherhood will have to be allowed to play a future political role, its popularity would be

diminished in an open system where other ideologies are freed to outweigh it.

“This is the greatest day of my life,” Nobel Peace laureate Mo h a m m e d E l Ba ra d e i , whose young supporters were among the organizers of the protest movement, told The Associated Press.

“The country has been liberated after decades of repression,” he said adding that he expects a “beautiful” transition of power.

Perhaps most surprising was the genesis of the force that overthrew Mubarak. Up to the last hours, Mubarak sought to cling to power, handing some of his authorities to his newly appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman while keeping title.

Bu t a n e x p l o s i o n o f protests Friday rejecting the move appeared to have pushed the military into forc-

ing him out completely.

Hundreds of thousands flooded the main squares of cities around the nation. Soldiers stood by, even threw cookies and biscuits to protesters who massed in front of Mubarak’s palaces in Cairo and Alexandria, chanting for him to go. Others blockaded the towering State Television and Radio Building overlooking the Nile River in Cairo, blocking employees from entering.

The ousted Mubarak himself flew to his isolated palace in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, 250 miles from the turmoil in Cairo.

Suleiman — who appears to have lost his vice president’s post as well in the military takeover — appeared grim as he delivered the short announcement on state TV Friday night that Mubarak was stepping down.

Continued from 1A “In these grave circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave his position as president of the republic,” he said.

“He has mandated the Armed Forces Supreme Council to run the state. God is our protector and succor.”

The question now turned to what happens next. Protesters on Friday had overtly pleaded for the army to oust Mubarak. The country is now ruled by the Armed Forces Supreme Council, consisting of the military’s top generals and headed by Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi After Mubarak’s resignation, a military spokesman appeared on state TV and promised the army would not act as a substitute for a government based on the “legitimacy of the people.”

network has been hammered by an onslaught of data-hungry iPhone users, and this is one way of moving that traffic off the cellular network.

Smaller cells could do the same job, but for all phones, not just Wi-Fi enabled ones like the iPhone. They could also carry calls as well as data.

San Diego-based Qualcomm will be at the Barcelona show with a live demonstration of how “heterogeneous networks” — ones that mix big and small cells, can work. A key issue is minimizing radio interference between the two types of cells. Another hurdle is connecting the smaller cells to the bigger network through optical fiber or other high-capacity connections.

“That’s an impediment that we’re seeing many oper-

ators struggling with right now as data volumes have increased,” Hays said.

LM Ericsson AB, the Swedish company that’s the largest maker of wireless network equipment in the world, is also introducing a more compact antenna at the show, one it calls “the first stepping stone towards a heterogeneous network.”

Small cellular base stations have already penetrated hundreds of thousands of U.S. homes. Phone companies like AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. have for several years been selling “femtocells,” which are about the size of a Wi-Fi router and connect to the phone company’s network through a home broadband connection.

The cells project radio signals that cover a room or two, providing five bars of coverage where there might

Continued from 1A otherwise be none.

British femtocell maker Ubiquisys Ltd. will be in Barcelona to demonstrate the smallest cell yet. It’s the size of a thumb and plugs into a computer’s USB drive.

According to Ubiquisys, the idea is that overseas travellers will plug it into their Internet-connected laptops to make calls as if they were on their home network, but there are potential problems with interference if used that way.

According to Ruper t Baines, marketing head of Picochip Ltd., a more realistic application for a tiny plug-in cell is to make it work with cable boxes or Internet routers, to convert them into femtocells.

A key part of the “small cell” idea is to take femtocells outside the home, into larger buildings and even outdoors.

disappointed that our interim work did not yield the result that would prove a meaningful deterrent for intentional and needless cruelty to animals.”

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, which is based in Cotati, Calif., ranks North Dakota as one of five states where animal protection laws are the most inadequate.

North Dakota has no felony penalty for animal

cruelty or abandonment, does not restrict animal abusers from owning animals in the future, and does not require mental health evaluations or counseling for offenders, the organization said in a 2010 report.

Daryl Lies of Douglas who tours county and state fairs with a “racing pigs” entertainment show, said he was troubled by several aspects of the proposed new animalcruelty law.

Continued from 1A One provision would allow a law officer to seize an animal for its own protection without a warrant if the officer believed the animal was being abused, he said.

“They can come take them on a report of a jealous neighbor. They can come and seize them on false reports of lack of water,” Lies said. “Be careful what you do. Be careful what you ask for.”

The bill is SB2365.

‘Egypt is free’ protesters in Tahrir Square.

An astonishing day in which hundreds of thousands marched on Mubarak’s palaces in Cairo and Alexandria and besieged state TV was capped by the military effectively carrying out a coup at the pleas of protesters. After Mubarak’s fall, the military, which pledged to shepherd reforms for greater democracy, told the nation it would announce the next steps soon. Those could include the dissolving of parliament and creation of a transitional government.

Mubarak’s downfall at the hands of the biggest popular uprising in the modern history of the Arab world had stunning implications for the United States and the West, Israel, and the region, unsettling r ulers across the Mideast.

The 82-year-old leader

epitomized the complex trade-off the United States was locked into in the Middle East for decades: Support for autocratic leaders in return for stability, a bulwark against Islamic militants, a safeguard of economic interests with the oil-rich Gulf states and peace — or at least an effort at peace — with Israel.

The question for Washington now was whether that same arrangement will hold as the Arab world’s most populous state makes a potentially rocky transition to democracy, with no guarantee of the results.

At the White House, President Barack Obama said “Egyptians have inspired us.”

He noted the important questions that lay ahead, but said, “I’m confident the people of Egypt can find the answers.”

The United States at times

The end of cell towers? are partially if not mostly to blame for this.”

Alcatel-Lucent will be at the show to demonstrate its “lightRadio cube,” a cellular antenna about the size and shape of a Rubik’s cube, vastly smaller than the ironingboard-sized antennas that now decorate cell towers.

The cube was developed at the famous Bell Labs in New Jersey, birthplace of many other inventions when it was AT&T’s research center.

In Alcatel-Lucent’s vision, these little cubes could soon begin replacing conventional cell towers.

Single cubes or clusters of them could be placed indoors or out and be easily hidden from view. All they need is electrical power and an optical fiber connecting them to the phone company’s network.

The cube, Sweldens said, can make the notion of a

conventional cell tower “go away.” Alcatel-Lucent will start trials of the cube with carriers in September. The company hopes to make it commercially available next year.

For cell phone companies, the benefits of dividing their networks into smaller “cells,” each one served by something like the cube antenna, go far beyond esthetics. Smaller cells mean vastly higher capacity for calls and data traffic.

Instead of having all phones within a mile or two connect to the same cell tower, the traffic could be divided between several smaller cells, so there’s less competition for the cell tower’s attention.

“If it is what they claim, lightRadio could be a highly disruptive force within the wireless industry,” said Dan Ha y s , w h o f o c u s e s o n

telecommunications at consulting firm PRTM. Rasmus Hellberg, director of technical marketing at wireless technology developer Qualcomm Inc., said smaller cells can boost a network’s capacity tenfold, far more than can be achieved by other upgrades to wireless technology that are also in the works.

That’s sure to draw the interest of phone companies. They’ve already been deploying older generations of small-cell technology in areas where a lot of people gather, like airports, train stations and sports stadiums, but these are expensive and complicated to install.

In New York City, AT&T Inc. has started creating a network of outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots, starting in Times Square and now spreading through the midtown tourist and shopping districts. Its

Felony charge proposed penalties for animal cruelty.

However, they preferred a legislative study of the issue, rather than approval of the pending bill, they said. It is sponsored by Sen. Jim Dotzenrod, D-Wyndmere.

Woody Barth, a Farmers Union spokesman, said the legislation had grown to a 14-page bill after starting out as a four-page measure.

Julie Ellingson, director of the Stockmen’s Association, said association officials

wanted to make sure the legislation would not cause unintended problems for livestock operations.

Should a study take place, the subject of appropriate penalties for animal cruelty would be examined by an interim legislative committee, which could then recommend a bill for the 2013 Legislature.

Barth said the job of drafting legislation for the 2011 session stalled when the

leader of the effort, Cynthia Feland, a former assistant Burleigh County state’s attorney, was elected to a state district judgeship last November.

Buchholz said she did not want a delay, and said she preferred to have egregious first-time offenders prosecuted for felonies.

“We feel as we wait to discuss the matter further, more animals will suffer abuse and neglect,” she said. “We are

Not so fast Continued from 1A allowed to have other passengers in the car, other than siblings they were taking to school. There also was no driving past 9 p.m. unless the driver was going to school, work or a religious activity.

Drivers also would not be able to use cell phones or iPods while driving, except in case of an emergency. GPS devices are permitted.

Approved amendments to the bill have changed all that. An original amendment from Rep. Robin Weisz, R-Hurdsfield, would have

scrapped the intermediate phase in its entirety. Ultimately, the committee decided that for the first year of the license, teen drivers would not be able to drive past 9 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes second.

Another amendment extended the restrictions on electronic devices to cover all drivers up to age 18.

House Transportation Committee Chairman Rep. Dan Ruby, R-Minot, said the bill was having trouble winning over rural legislators

even with a farm exemption portion that would have allowed teen drivers to operate certain vehicles. The committee took out the farm exemption and greatly tweaked the intermediate phase, loosening restrictions on all 15-year-old drivers.

Keiser said he was not in favor of the change to the bill.

“It basically makes it the current law with minor changes,” he said.

“The bill was designed for teens to learn to drive more safely and this kind of takes

that out,” Keiser added later.

R e p. L o i s D e l m o r e , D-Grand Forks, introduced the amendment that would put the nighttime driving restrictions back onto the bill.

“I could kind of see where the committee was taking the bill, and I wanted to save this one portion to protect our young drivers,” she said.

The one added portion of the bill that Keiser approved of was extending the ban on using electronic devices up to age 18, rather than limit-

ing it to an intermediate process.

Still, he believes overall the bill has been significantly reduced.

“The makeup of the committee is such that I didn’t think they’d like the overall concept, and clearly they didn’t,” Keiser said. The committee voted 9 to 5 to give the bill a “do pass” recommendation.

House Bill 1460 would require landowners with a turbine on their property to compensate adjacent landowners if the towers were in effect stealing their neighbors’ wind. The bill would apply only to cases where a turbine was built

within a half mile of a property line, and neighbors would not be able to halt a project. The Public Service Commission would be charged with overseeing the policy, known as unitization.

Rep. Curt Kreun, R-Grand Forks, read directly from testimony provided by the PSC in explaining the Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s “do not pass” recommendation. Kreun said committee members were opposed to the PSC taking on new responsibilities that might mean it

would have to settle disputes between companies and landowners.

Those in favor of the bill said it would help spur wind development.

Rep. Jon Nelson, R-Rugby, said the bill would give companies greater freedom to put turbines in the most ideal location without worrying about upsetting nearby landowners.

Sponsor Rep. George Keiser, RBismarck, said the bill would help protect the rural lifestyle that so

Zumbathon Rep. Larry Klemin, R-Bismarck, reintroduced his ban on texting and driving from last session, which passed during Tuesday’s floor session. Rep. George Keiser, R-Bismarck, reintroduced a bill that would put more restrictions on teenage driving, not letting teens get a full license until age 16.

Rep. Thomas Beadle, R-Fargo, has reintroduced a bill to open up North Dakota’s pharmacy laws to allow for big box store pharmacies. The same concept was introduced last session by Rep. Bob Martinson, R-Bismarck. House Bill 1434 will have a hearing soon.

Of course, not all bills are straight reintroductions. Some are remixes.

There have been bills in the past to open up horse slaughtering plants in the state. The bills never passed, but now Rep. Marvin Nelson, D-Rolla, has introduced a bill to allow for private slaughter of horses by removing a provision of the law that lets the agriculture commissioner ban the slaughter of horses in cattle slaughtering facilities.

People would be able to have a horse slaughtered only for their personal use, not for resale.

Nelson said he doesn’t understand why horses are being singled out.

“If you go into town, you can get buffalo, ostrich, or a lot of other exotic animals, but you can’t get horses,” Nelson said.

“It’s a pet thing. It’s taboo in a lot of cultures.”

Opponents of the bill say cattle slaughter facilities just aren’t suited for horses, with the shorter walls and bolts that are less effective on a longer skull, making the process cruel.

Nelson said not all cows fit the current process well, and slaughter would be another option for people with aging horses.

The bill already passed the House unanimously and now goes to the Senate.

Persistence is not just limited to legislators, however. It was a group of students who pushed for the reintroduction of a bill that would stop adults from being able to smoke in their cars if a child under 13 is present.

Following its predecessor bill, it died in the House, but you never know if someone else will do a cover of it next session.

Taxes The federal government has extended the tax deadline to April 18 instead of the usual April 15 due to a holiday in Washington, D.C. State taxes also will be due three days later, said Tax Commissioner Cory Fong, because most people file the two together.

Always quotable “How do I help victims? By holding them responsible for their problem. I reveal to them the optical illusion that is causing them to attract their tormentors. … Are bullies shooting up schools? Are they going on violent rampages at work? No. Bullies may not be saints, but the heinous acts of violence are all committed by people acting as victims.”

many have sought in the country.

Keiser said the turbines can affect property values, and those who are affected by a turbine on neighboring land should at least be compensated.

Keiser said action also was needed because of the state’s future potential for transmission lines.

“We’ll have wind farms all over then, and it’s going to be bad,” Keiser said, if there are no wind rights laws on the books.

Zumba instructor Magen Dinga, front, leaps in the air while leading a class at Bismarck High in the Karlgaard Gym on Friday morning. Also leading classes was instructor Sarah Hatzenbuhler.

Exercising for a cause

By SARA KINCAID Bismarck Tribune Latin-inspired dance moves create an exercise routine that anyone can do.

“It doesn’t feel like a workout,” Zumba instructor Magen Dinga said. “You are not counting reps, you can add your own style.”

Dinga and colleague Sarah Hatzenbuhler from Let’s Dance Studio taught Zumba in physical education classes at Bismarck High School on Friday. They had about 150 to 200 students in the Karlsgaard Gym moving to the upbeat music.

The instructors are at the front of the room and the class mimics their movements. At times, Dinga saw a few students also pulling down their shirts, when she was adjusting her clothes. That wasn’t part of the routine.

The intensity of the workout can vary depending on

how much emphasis people place on the movements.

The more exaggerated the movements, the more of a workout it is. Someone who is unfamiliar with the moves and doesn’t work out as much doesn’t have to go through the full range of motion that the steps can have.

In some cases, the women from Let’s Dance have seen people just free-style dance through the class.

That’s OK, too. They offer two classes a week at Let’s Dance. Other places, like the YMCA and other fitness centers, offer Zumba, as well.

Let’s Dance is hosting a Zumbathon on Feb. 26. The Part Hearty Zumbathon will raise money for the American Heart Association. Local business donated prizes for the event. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. All proceeds go to the heart association. The event is from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Let’s Dance Studio.

An immense herd of bison on the Wilder Ranch continues to lose animals, even as the county sheriff spends hours every day making sure they are getting food and water.

Corson (S.D.) County Sheriff Keith Gall said two more adults and two calves died during a very frigid night Wednesday, adding to the dozens of animals already dead of apparent starvation.

South Dakota authorities issued an impoundment order against ranch owner, Florida real estate owner Maurice Wilder, on Feb. 1, taking over day-to-day oversight of the bison until a long-term management plan is signed by a district judge.

The order covers somewhere between 4,000 and 6,000 bison owned by the Wilder Ranch, a vast pasture and feedlot operation that stretches from McLaughlin, S.D., to near Selfridge on the North Dakota side.

An i mp o u n dmen t o rder would normally result in the animals being removed, but the number of bison and the snowy conditions caused authorities to leave them in place.

Corson County State’s Attorney Eric Bogue said Wilder has submitted a management plan, which is under review by South Continued on 6B

The wheat belt wonders about oil wells Farmers predict getting ready will be a challenge

By LAUREN DONOVAN Bismarck Tribune REGENT — Local farmers piled into the old Regent American Legion Hall on Wednesday, navigating snowy roads and dodging pheasants by the hundreds to get there.

Fortified with sweet rolls and coffee, they gathered for the annual meeting of the county crop improvement association.

Among routine sessions on field chemicals and dry land corn strategies was a whiff of something dramatically new in the traditional wheat belt of Hettinger County.

Hettinger County farmers heard a whiff of something new at their annual crop improvement meeting Wednesday in Regent. Oil development may be coming and they’re already concerned about the combination of combines and tanker trucks on old-time rural roads. tryside, but one farmer, Scott Monke, had his doubts.

“I’m not sure if we can get ready.

The townships out here, we don’t have the money to get ready,” he said.

Monke said he’d be just as

happy if landowners got the money for leases but drilling never came.

“It’d be nice if we never had to worry about the rest of it. A lot of people have that feeling because of the roads,” he said.

There has been some leasing

activity in northwestern Hettinger County, in the rural area near New England.

Based on geological maps, that area of the county is in a hot zone for the Tyler formation, one that has been vertically drilled in the past couple of decades in Stark and Billings counties and one that state oil officials think would respond to horizontal fracture treatments, similar to what’s working in the Bakken further north.

Lease offers seem to be fairly modest at about $200 an acre, much lower than Bakken acreage bonuses and an indication that oil developers aren’t willing to bet much on future value until someone proves up horizontal drilling success.

Even so, it’s a worrisome prospect in this county where agriculture always has been king.

In the growing season, Hettinger County deploys an army’s worth of equipment to plant, fertilize and harvest row crops and that equipment gets bigger all the time.

Monke said he can’t quite picture rig moves, tanker trucks and Continued on 6B

Burleigh sets up sandbag site

NUBS OF THE NEWS

Burleigh County officials have set up a site for people to fill and take sandbags for free in anticipation of a February thaw.

High temperatures are expected to be above freezing into next week, leading to the possibility for some early overland flooding. The temporary sandbagging site is at the Missouri Valley Complex. People who need sandbags should bring their own shovels, enter on Bismarck Expressway and exit on Main Avenue to the north.

Emergency Manager Mary Senger also suggests people consider purchasing flood insurance.

The National Weather Service has said the upcoming warm spell will cause minor melting and compaction of the heavy snowpack in western and central North Dakota, but significant melting is not expected in rural areas. Runoff into rivers and creeks should be minimal, except in extreme southwestern North Dakota, where thinner snowpack and steeper terrain could lead to surface runoff later next week.

Snow melt may cause pooling water and minor flooding in urban areas where drainage systems are blocked by snow banks and ice.

Questionable sites for Elton tickets Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. today for the April 6 Elton John concert at the Bismarck Civic Center.

But there maybe some confusion if you are surfing the Internet for tickets.

Charlie Jeske, manager of the Civic Center, said ticket prices are as have been advertised; $29 for behind the stage, and $79 for upper level and $129 for lower level seats.

Some websites are advertising the tickets for more — a lot more.

One site, www.coasttocoasttickets.com, is offering floor seats up front for as much as $1,138.

A Google search for the Bismarck Civic Center turns up a site, www.bismarckcenter.com/Tickets, and shows the cheapest seat at $89. Floor seats for the first 13 rows are advertised for $1,205 on that site.

Jeske said tickets can be purchased only through the Civic Center’s authorized ticket agent, Ticketmaster.

Tickets are available at Ticketmaster outlets, the Civic Center box office or charge by phone at 800-745-3000.

Jeske said the Elton John concert is being brought to Bismarck through a Wisconsin promoter and the Civic Center did not “buy” the show.

He said the promoter, Frank Productions, has yet to send a signed copy of the lease agreement for the night of the concert. Jeske said he will release terms once the contract has been signed.

FARGO (AP) — A Toronto man has pleaded guilty to credit card fraud in North Dakota.

Adekunle Adetiloye was accused of falsely representing himself to obtain credit cards from a Fargo bank. Authorities say the case involved hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He faced multiple mail fraud and wire fraud counts, and pleaded guilty to one count. He faces up to 30 years in prison when he’s sentenced April 26.

Devils Lake expansion will magnify GRAND FORKS (AP) — A University of North Dakota geography professor says the flooding Devils Lake likely will swallow up more land at a much faster rate than before.

The lake has quadrupled in size because of almost two decades of wet weather and is expected to reach another record level this year. Paul Todhunter says the lake is at the point where there will be a greater expansion of area for each foot of rise.

He says that since the wet cycle began, the lake has expanded at an average rate of about 11 square miles a year.

He says the 3-foot rise expected this spring could cause an expansion of more than 50 square miles.

The lake covers 252 square miles, compared to 70 in 1993.

Man accused of stealing from business GRAND FORKS (AP) — A manager at a Grand Forksbased company that makes pickup bed covers is accused of stealing more than $250,000 worth of the product.

Fredlund was a manager at Applied Products. A telephone listing for him could not immediately be found. He is due in court March 17 on a theft of property charge.

Answers to last week’s Prizeword

House doesn’t want to set tuition rates Lawmakers say they don’t want to set tuition rates for North Dakota’s public colleges.

The North Dakota House defeated a pair of tuition bills Friday.

The Board of Higher Education now sets tuition rates for the state’s 11 public colleges. One of the defeated bills sought to give the Legislature the job of setting tuition.

The second measure would have set minimum tuition rates for most out-of-state students at North Dakota colleges. It would have been pegged at no less than the average cost of education for undergraduates.

The bill exempted Minnesota students.

Valley City Rep. Phil Mueller says the Legislature isn’t qualified to set tuition rates.

Tioga Rep. David Rust disagrees. He says the Legislature should set tuition because lawmakers get blamed anyway for rising college costs.

Shirley Ohlhauser, 41, 809 N. Woodland Drive, Mandan, 18 months suspended for two years with supervised probation, also driving under the influence (second in five years): $500 and 20 days, also driving under revocation (third offense): 20 days, jail time served concurrently.

ACROSS 1. REPORTED not deported. His activities, good or bad, could have been REPORTED by authorities, such as the media, the government or the legal profession. In order for the ex-husband to be deported, the activities would more likely be of a nefarious nature, but the clue gives no indication of that fact.

9. HEELED not keeled. If a boat has keeled over (i.e., overturned), it’s unlikely it could cross the finish line. But a vessel that has HEELED (e.g., tilted) could do so.

11. NEAT not near. There is no suggestion in the clue as to the size of the house. If, for instance, it is a large one with many rooms, the student might not feel that the roommate is close at all. But sharing quarters with a NEAT person could make her feel comfortable.

13. TRIO not trip. TRIO is apt because it is well established that a TRIO is a performing threesome, which can indeed bring enjoyment. Many a trip may be valuable from a business standpoint but not intended for enjoyment purposes.

14. TELLS not sells. If a man sells this vital information, he definitely is a traitor. If he TELLS it, through an act of greed or stupidity, it might warrant declaring him a traitor.

19. WASTE not haste. WASTE has a direct connection to a well-organized home and gardens show host whom one would expect to have an efficient system for recycling and dealing with unexpected WASTE. Unforeseen instances where haste is required (e.g., phone or door bell ringing) could happen to anybody.

20. RAG not rug. Leaving scattered bits of a RAG is a straightforward answer. The rugs in a villa may be too heavy or too securely installed to be torn into pieces.

21. PEST not past. It is not the entire past that may worry someone; rather it is certain events in the past that could be worrisome.

PESTS have certainly been known to cause anxiety, sometimes almost beyond endurance.

22. EWES not eyes. It could be difficult for anybody, not just a young wife, to protect one’s eyes against a harsh environment. The clue word “farm” has a direct link to EWES, making it the best answer.

DOWN 2. PICKING not packing. There is nothing in the clue to indicate the “passenger” is carrying any luggage into which the purchased items must be packed. If, for instance, the passenger has simply gone ashore on a day tour, there might be little or no baggage at all.

PICKING is best.

3. TIDY not tiny. The clue doesn’t reveal the size or age of the “other students” who, if in kindergarten for example, may all be relatively small. If so, the tiny child might be able to hold his own. But children who tend to be rough when playing could cause quite a mess, which may well be upsetting to a TIDY youngster.

4. DAY not Dad. An outing suggests a picnic or trip outdoors, which depends on the kind of DAY it is, weather-wise. Anyone taking part in the outing can tend to spoil it, if they are acting gloomy, so there is no reason to specify only dad.

5. CRIME not chime. Coming up with a perfect

CRIME may appear to be impossible to some, but with enough research, a person might find sufficient theories or story plots to argue that a perfect CRIME does exist. But chimes are normally produced in multiples, emitting a series of sounds rather than just one tone, so that finding a perfect chime would be impossible.

6. CRUISES not cruiser. A yacht could be defined as a cruiser; therefore, it’s reasonable to assume that in some cases there would be no crew at all, because one person can operate a small one without assistance, especially if only traveling a short distance. CRUISES is a better answer.

8. YALE not sale. YALE, being a worldrenowned university, is the more definite answer. A scintillating sale depends much on what kinds of purchases were made and whether they are of particular interest to the female friend.

10. LARGER not larder. The kitchen staff may well need a LARGER area. However, the definition of a larder is a place where food is kept, making it superfluous when linked to the clue word “provisions.”

16. SHADE not shape. The clue word “painting” links up directly with SHADE. Shape is less definite because it can apply to other forms of art, including, for example, sculpting.

Abortion bill bans embryo destruction

By DALE WETZEL Associated Press North Dakota’s House on Friday approved two antiabortion bills that would ban the destruction of human embryos and regulate drugs that a woman may use to end her pregnancy.

Critics of the measures said they amounted to state intrusion into personal freedoms. “We are deciding what is OK for a single person,� said Rep. Kathy Hawken, R-Fargo. “I don’t believe that is our role.�

Representatives endorsed both measures, 68-25. They now move to the North Dakota Senate for additional review.

The embryo legislation is intended to regulate in vitro fertilization, during which a woman’s egg is fertilized outside the woman’s body. The egg is then implanted in the woman’s uterus to develop.

North Dakota law already bans doing harm to embryos through experimentation.

The legislation approved Friday would prohibit intentional destruction of embryos, although they could be frozen, implanted in another woman’s body, or put up for adoption.

The law does not apply to embryos that are destroyed by “morning-after� contraception or some medical treatments, such as chemotherapy to fight cancer.

A supporter, Rep. Robin Weisz, R-Hurdsfield, said the legislation was written to take into account the unintentional loss of embryos during in vitro fertilization. “In the process, there are going to be many embryos that don’t make it. (The law) doesn’t disallow that,� Weisz said during House debate on the legislation. “If an embryo dies in the process, that happens, but you can’t willfully, or purposely, cause injury or destroy that embryo.�

Amy Jacobson, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, argued the legislation could make illegal some treatments for infertility and tubal pregnancies. “Its scope and impact could upend North Dakota criminal law,� Jacobson said in a statement. “It could take years for the North Dakota courts and Legislature to clarify their legal meaning.�

Christopher Dodson, director of the North Dakota Catholic Conference, which supports the legislation, said it was much different than a so-called “personhood� bill the North Dakota House approved two years ago that conferred human rights on a fertilized egg. The conference did not endorse the legislation, which was defeated in the state Senate.

Dodson said the new bill’s definition of a human being as “an individual member of the species homo sapiens at every stage of development� is confined to North Dakota’s criminal code, rather than applying to state law generally. Dodson said he did not believe the legislation would ban abortion in North Dakota.

The second measure changes North Dakota’s primary anti-abortion law to regulate the use of drugs to end pregnancies. The law now refers to abortions performed by a doctor, rather than through use of a drug.

North Dakota has only one clinic that offers abortions, the Red River Women’s Clinic in downtown Fargo.

Jacobson said North Dakota already has abortion laws that are among the strictest in the nation. “Abortion may make many of us uncomfortable, but one thing we can all agree on is that personal medical decisions are best made by a woman, her family and her doctor, not the government,� Jacobson said.

The bills are HB1450 and HB1297.

Record number using food stamps

By JAMES MacPHERSON Associated Press A record number of North Dakotans are using food stamps to buy groceries, coinciding with the state’s population growth but contrary to its robust economy, the director of the state Data Center says.

North Dakota had an average of 59,888 people per month receiving food assistance in fiscal 2010, up from 53,070 in 2009, said Richard Rathge, the Data Center director and North Dakota demographer. The fiscal year ended Sept. 30.

Rathge said the federal Agriculture Department figures show “an apparent contradiction� with North

Dakota’s strong economy that has been fueled largely by the state’s booming oil patch.

North Dakota’s unemployment rate of 3.8 percent is the nation’s lowest. “We have a growing and robust economy but this is a reminder that there are still folks out there in need,� Rathge said.

Part of the increase in the number of food stamp recipients is likely due to the state’s recent spike in population, he said.

The U.S. Census Bu re a u’s m o s t re c e n t count pegged North Dakota’s population last year at 672,591, up from 635,938 in 2005. The number of food stamp recipients has jumped by 17,684 during

that time, federal figures show.

The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, paid out more than $95 million in fiscal 2010, up from $79.5 million in 2009, USDA figures show. The jump reflected a one-time increase of $12.9 million in federal stimulus funding, state officials said.

North Dakotans enrolled in the program received an average of $132.21 monthly in fiscal 2010, up from $124.94 for the same period in 2009.

Nationally, an average of $134 was paid out monthly in the last fiscal year, up from $125 in 2009, the USDA said.

Federal figures show

8 . 9 p e r c e n t o f No r t h Dakotans get food stamps monthly, compared with 13.1 percent nationally.

Congress adopted the Federal Food Stamp Act in 1964 to help needy people buy groceries. The state Department of Human Services heads the program in North Dakota.

A family of four in North Dakota can apply for food stamp aid with a gross income of less than $2,389 per month. The qualifying monthly income limit for a one person household is $1,174, the agency said.

Human Services Department spokeswoman Heather Steffl said about 42 percent of the households that get assistance have earned income.

Williston might regulate strip clubs WILLISTON (AP) — The Williston City Commission is considering an ordinance to govern where adult entertainment businesses can set up shop.

The proposal calls for such places as strip clubs to be located only in areas zoned industrial. They also would have be a certain distance from churches, schools, hospitals and public playgrounds, and they would not be allowed to have explicit signs or images on their exteriors.

If the ordinance is adopted, existing adult entertainment businesses would be allowed to stay where they are until their ownership changed.

Club owner Grace Delling says that still would hurt businesses because it would make it more difficult for an owner to sell a club.

Red River Valley winter not that cold

Bismarck Tribune ■ Bismarcktribune.com

VALENTINE

GRAND FORKS (AP) — It’s been a cold winter in the Red River Valley of North Dakota, but the National Weather Service says it really hasn’t been all that bad.

Data manager Mark Ewens said that so far it’s only the 26th-coldest winter on record for Grand Forks, and only the 46th-coldest for Fargo.

Ewens says that two-thirds of the way through winter, there’s only been one real cold snap.

It has been a snowy winter, though. Grand Forks is nearly 11 inches above normal and Fargo about 30 inches above.

Woman accused of stealing from tribe MINOT (AP) — A woman is accused of stealing money from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.

Nicole Azure is charged in federal court with embezzlement and theft from an Indian tribal organization, and false statements. She has pleaded not guilty.

Authorities say Azure failed to report changes in employment and income while receiving general assistance benefits.

Trial is set for April 5 in Minot.

Farm and ranch count changes little FARGO (AP) — North Dakota had an estimated 31,900 farms and ranches last year, down 100 from the previous year.

The USDA’s Agricultural Statistics Service said 42.7 million acres were committed to agriculture, unchanged from 2009.

Farms with sales of $1,000 to $9,999 totaled 10,500. There were 9,200 operations with sales of $10,000 to $99,999; 4,600 in the $100,000 to $249,999 range; 3,700 in the $250,000 to $499,999 category, and 3,900 with sales of $500,000 or more.

Insect colonies destroyed in NDSU fire FARGO (AP) — North Dakota State University says insect colonies being used by researchers were destroyed in a fire at a metal storage building on campus.

Early reports said farming equipment was destroyed in the midday Wednesday fire. Unit manager Terry Skunberg says that NDSU’s entomology department also used the building to raise colonies of wasps and aphids in isolation so they wouldn’t contaminate other insects.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated, and a damage estimate isn’t immediately available. No one was hurt.

Dalrymple issues disaster declaration Gov. Jack Dalrymple issued a statewide disaster declaration on Friday in preparation for possible spring flooding around the state.

He cited heavy snowpack and flood outlooks that show the potential for flooding in the Devils Lake, Souris River, Red River, James River and Missouri River basins.

Dalrymple said in a statement that the declaration is a step toward having state resources available and ready when needed.

Man sentenced for abusing 4 children HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) — A 33-year-old Victor man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting four different children over a period of three years.

The Ravalli Republic reports James F. Wages was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison with 10 suspended for four felony counts of assaulting minors. District Judge Jeffrey Langton added the condition that Wages could have no contact with any children without permission from the court or his parole officer.

Langton said Wages’ actions were degrading to the children, who ranged in age from 2 to 8 years.

Court records say Wages twice picked up a 5-year-old girl by the hair, once to spank her and once to remove her from a room where he and friends were smoking drugs.

3 more flu deaths in S.D. PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The state Health Department reports three more deaths in South Dakota caused by respiratory flu.

Officials said five people have died and 84 have been hospitalized this flu season.

Four of those who died were age 64 or older. One was 30 to 39.

Meanwhile, the department said it is seeing a spike in cases of stomach flu and said people should use good personal hygiene.

Survey shows Minn. smoking rate down ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A new survey shows the adult smoking rate in Minnesota has declined, but the use of smokeless tobacco is on the rise.

The survey says the smoking rate has dropped to 16 percent, down a full point from three years ago. It was conducted by the Department of Health and ClearWay Minnesota, a nonprofit anti-smoking group.

Smoking opponents say additional restrictions on where people can smoke and a couple of large cigarette tax hikes mostly likely influenced more smokers to quit. There’s also a decline in the number of people exposed to secondhand smoke. Exposure has dropped 11 percent from the last survey three years ago. The state first banned smoking in bars and restaurants in 2007.

Mandan disputes state opinion

By LEANN ECKROTH Bismarck Tribune The city of Mandan disputes an opinion from Morton County State’s Attorney Allen Koppy that four homes don’t qualify for its tax break because the city let those exemptions lapse.

Koppy’s opinion states home tax breaks cannot be applied retroactively to 2010 property taxes because the Mandan City Commission did not renew its two-year $75,000 new home tax break in time.

The commission passed a resolution Jan. 4 renewing its tax limit break on new homes at $75,000, according to county Auditor Paul Trauger.

Koppy’s opinion said the

tax statements were sent out in December, and Mandan acted too late to make the homes eligible for the abatements.

Mandan City Administrator Jim Neubauer said the city believed its twoyear tax exemption on new homes “was perpetual” unless the city decides to change it.

After speaking to the North Dakota Tax Department, the city imposed its $75,000 tax break on Jan. 4, even though commissioners believed it was still in effect and their action was unnecessary, Neubauer said.

Koppy’s opinion says that before granting an exemption, the city governing body, must pass a

re s o l u t i o n s t a t i n g t h e exemption will be allowed.

Since Mandan had not renewed its policy, the abatement requests for the homes do not qualify, he said.

The exemption “must be in effect before the benefit of the exemption can be sought,” the opinion says.

City Attorney Malcolm Brown is reviewing Koppy’s opinion, Neubauer said Friday.

Mandan’s existing tax break allows only single family homes and condo-

miniums that are purchased to qualify for the $75,000 new home tax break.

The city will consider the Bismarck-Mandan Homebuilders Association request to raise the limit during its 2012 budget process. State law allows a cap of up to a $150,000 for both purchased and speculative homes. The policy varies for different entities around the state.

Teen sentenced for July shooting MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 17-year-old was sentenced to 34 years in prison for fatally shooting another teen in Minneapolis last Fourth of July.

Kenneth Lee Johnson apologized to the family of the victim, 16-year-old Anthony Titus, in court Thursday.

Johnson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. Prosecutors dropped other charges as part of a plea deal.

Johnson will be eligible for parole after 22 years.

Another shooter, 21-year-old Ryan Eugene Loyd, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month and was sentenced to 39 years in prison.

Johnson and Loyd got out of a sport utility vehicle and shot at an alleged gang member but instead struck Titus in the back, killing him. Police say Titus was not a gang member.

Number of S.D. farms up slightly SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The federal government said it counted 300 more farms and ranches in South Dakota in 2010.

The number of farms and ranches with sales of $1,000 to $99,999 declined, as did the number in the $250,000 and above range. The number with sales of $100,000 to $249,000 declined from the previous year.

U.S. rig count down by 18 this week

BROOMBALL

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. decreased by 18 this week to 1,721.

Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc. reported Friday that 906 rigs were exploring for gas and 805 for oil. Ten were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, the count was 1,346.

Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, North Dakota gained two rigs and Texas gained one.

Oklahoma declined by six rigs, Colorado lost four, Louisiana dropped two, and Alaska, Arkansas, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wyoming each lost one rig. California and West Virginia remained unchanged.

The rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981, the height of the oil boom. The record low of 488 was in 1999.

Date set for Barnes County bond vote LEAL (AP) — An April 19 date has been set for a second bond vote in the Barnes County North School District in southeast North Dakota.

The school board has decided to put the matter back on the ballot after voters last September rejected the $14.5 million measure to replace the district’s three facilities with a centralized school near Leal. The measure got 51 percent approval but needed 60 percent to pass.

Superintendent Doug Jacobson says consolidation would mean the elimination of 15 teaching positions, about half through retirement.

Suspect identified in reported rape WEST FARGO (AP) — West Fargo police say they have identified a 22-year-old man as a suspect in the reported rape of a 15-year-old girl in her home in early December.

Authorities say they are awaiting forensic evidence in the case.

Police believe the girl and the man met on the Internet, leading to texting and phone calls. They do not believe the alleged assault was a random act.

Man pleads guilty to selling meth GRAND FORKS (AP) — A Fort Totten man has pleaded guilty to selling bags of methamphetamine to a government informant on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.

Kyle Robertson is charged in federal court with three counts of selling a controlled substance. Authorities say he sold meth on three separate occasions in March 2010.

The 24-year-old Robertson faces up to 20 years in prison.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 18.

Warm weather is expected to last into next week with daytime highs remaining above freezing.

Whistleblower protection measure debated by reps

By REBECCA BEITSCH Bismarck Tribune A law giving state employees whistleblower protection for bringing to light the wrongdoing of their colleagues is once against under the scrutiny of the North Dakota Legislature.

An expansion of the law is being proposed by Rep. Eliot Glassheim, D-Grand Forks, and House Bill 1234 had its first hearing Friday in front of the Government and Veterans Affairs Committee.

The bill codifies many practices that are already followed, Glassheim said. It expands the law, however, by adding a provision that allows for review of complaints both by the Labor Department and the auditor’s office, which would investigate any financial claims as well as making sure all procedures were properly followed. Glassheim said the bill offers additional steps before a whistleblower brings a complaint to the court system.

“HB1234 gives employees

choices of formal mediation by the labor commissioner and binding adjudication by an administrative law judge well short of time and money-consuming legal and publicly embarrassing legal action,” Glassheim told the committee.

Still, the main point of criticism of the bill was that it might result in more lawsuits even if that was not the intent.

Labor Commissioner Tony Weiler said that would be costly to the state.

“What you can’t do right now is you can’t go directly to district court,” Weiler said, something that was changed last session because of the costs. “I litigated for quite a few years and I know it can be time- consuming and it can be expensive for both parties. I think this (current) process is more efficient, but you still have all your due process protections.”

Rep. Lonnie Winrich, D-Grand Forks, said Weiler’s premise didn’t make sense because both sides are equally affected by going to court.

“Going to district court is expensive for the person filing the suit and that would seem to be a deterrent,” he said.

Weiler also found fault with having both the Labor Department and auditor’s office investigate claims.

“The bill appears to set up dual investigations by my office and by the auditor’s office. I do not think that would be efficient or in the employee’s best interest. My other concern is, what if we investigate a case and then the auditor’s office investigates a case and we come up with different determinations? That, to me, could put a potential drain on the system,” Weiler said.

Glassheim said the investigations wouldn’t be dual.

The auditing job would be done later and would only concern procedural and financial factors, he said.

The committee took no action on the bill.

FARGO (AP) — Three men have been arrested in a prostitution sting in Fargo.

Police say the sting involved an advertisement in the “escort” section of a local website. Authorities say three men offered a female police informant money for sex and were arrested on a misdemeanor charge.

The men are from Fargo, West Fargo and Barnesville, Minn.

Wyoming House panel backs bill allowing concealed-carry CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming residents would be able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill that advanced in the Legislature on Friday, bringing the state one step closer to joining three others with similar laws on the books.

The House Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee voted 8-1 in favor of the bill sponsored by Sen. Kit Jennings, R-Casper. It already has cleared the Senate and now goes to the full House.

The committee amended the bill to specify that people

couldn’t carry concealed guns while intoxicated.

Wyoming already issues state permits allowing people to carry concealed guns.

The state permit system, which requires firearms training and a background check, would continue if Jennings’ bill passes because the permits allow reciprocity to carry concealed in other states.

Only Alaska, Arizona and Vermont don’t require citizens to have permits to carry concealed weapons.

The Wyoming House last year passed a bill that would allow residents to carry

handguns concealed without a permit, it didn’t pass in the Senate.

Jennings’ bill would still restrict people from carrying guns into bars, schools and some other places. Yet the prospect of generally unrestricted carry of concealed guns has galvanized debate in Wyoming, a top state in per-capita gun ownership.

Some law enforcement officials oppose the bill while many gun-owners strongly favor it.

Bill co-sponsor Rep. Allen Jaggi, R-Lyman, said he doesn’t expect the bill will create extra problems.

pensate its road department and it has plunked down another $40,000 in fuel bills every month of winter so far.

While the snow is deep — in the range of 50 to 60 inches — it isn’t a record. But Dukart said the abnormal wind directions from the south and east are causing an unusual drifting pattern.

One equipment operator said he was dealing with 10- to 12-foot snow banks right up against the rural electric poles and didn’t have anywhere to go with more snow, Dukart said.

“If we’re impacting the public, we’re making sure there’s an alternate route,” he said.

The 25 miles represent a small portion of the county’s 900-mile road system.

The road department is running 13 graders, four payloaders and two “cats” to try to stay ahead of the snow, he said.

Dakota’s state veterinarian.

Bogue expects it will take until at least Monday before the state vet’s office will have completed the review and made any modifications. A judge may have to resolve any disagreements and a court order involving the animals would give authorities more recourse, including contempt of court charges, if terms are not met, Bogue said.

In the meantime, Bogue said the sheriff’s office is doing a great job.

Gall said the operation continues to be plagued with equipment problems.

“They have some breakdowns and they don’t have what they should have. I didn’t realize their equipment was in as bad a shape as it’s in,” he said.

He said the bison are being fed between 70 and 100 bales of hay daily, along with distillers grains, cake, and other supplements.

“Many of them are looking pretty good, but there are older animals that are thin and weak,” he said.

The sheriff said there are five ranch employees on site who are trying to do their best. The operation has seen a turnover in managers and currently there is no manager, though Wilder has had two of his people

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A longtime advocate for Native Americans, Thelma Rios saw her good works overshadowed by her involvement in the 1975 slaying of another Americ a n In d i a n Mov e m e n t activist.

Rios’ attorney Matt Kinney said she was diagnosed with lung cancer shortly after he negotiated a plea deal for her in the woman’s death.

She pleaded guilty as an accessory to kidnapping in November. The office of another of Rios’ attorneys, Randy Connelly, told The Associated Press she died Wednesday at a Rapid City Hospital. She was 65.

Connelly called her death a “sad day” for the Indian people on whose behalf she often worked.

“She was a warrior. There was no greater warrior for her people and her fellow man than Thelma. She

assisted her people in many, many ways,” said Connelly, who had known Rios since the 1970s.

Rios was convicted for her role in the death of Annie Mae Aquash. She admitted in court last fall that she relayed a message to other AIM members to bring Aquash from Denver to Rapid City in December 1975, because they thought she was a gover nment informant. Investigators have denied Aquash was a snitch. Rios also said she opened up her apartment so Aquash could be interrogated.

Aquash was later found shot to death on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Two men have been convicted of murder in her death.

Rios was sentenced to five years in prison, but a judge suspended the sentence and ordered her to serve five years of probation.

resource and people wonder where all the water for drilling fracture treatments would come from in their fairly arid county.

Tom Irwin, an agronomist for Southwest Grain, of New England, said he’s worried about the potential dust from oil traffic.

He said the dust that settles on crops Irwin along rural roads will deactivate herbicides like Roundup.

“We see it just from the wheels on the sprayers. I can only imagine it will get worse,” he said.

He said rural roads were built when seed drills were 10 feet wide, not 60, and combine headers were 12 feet wide, not 30.

“Things are getting bigger and bigger and the roads are not,” Irwin said, about the combination of oil traffic and farming in the county.

Gall said he thinks the Wilder operation needs to be closely watched for a long period of time. “It’s not stretching to say a minimum of a year. I would not be against myself being allowed or ordered to come on the ranch frequently to make sure things are being done,” the sheriff said.

Besides the starving animals in Corson County, some of the Wilder bison are apparently loose in Sioux County, near Selfridge.

The sheriff said he’s heard some 70 animals are loose and eating privately owned hay. He said the ranch hands are trying to get a pair of snowmobiles to locate the straying animals.

The Sioux County sheriff was not available for com-

The wheat belt combines with 30-foot headers sharing the same rural road system.

“It’ll be a mess trying to farm if we can’t get our equipment on the roads,” he said.

Jon Wert, 39, of rural New England, said his generation doesn’t tend to own the minerals beneath their farms, but will pay the price anyway.

“I’m very Wert passionate about farming. Anything that changes the landscape is hard,” he said.

Wert said he knows oil development, if it comes to Hettinger County, will be great for the economy and for the small towns like Mott, Regent and New England. As a farmer, he’s fueldependent and would like to see less oil money spent “overseas.”

Hettinger County doesn’t have much of a gravel

Dunn county closes Wilder bison some snowed-in roads Dunn County has taken the seldom-taken step of closing some roads in the county until it either quits snowing or spring comes, whichever is first.

The county commission took the action Thursday, when it held a special meeting to declare an official countywide snow emergency.

Commission Chairman Daryl Dukart said the county closed about 25 miles of road in scattered sections to save overtime and wear and tear on men and equipment.

The short road sections are mostly shortcuts that save mail route miles, he said, but at least one family will have to go 15 miles of out the way because of it.

Dukart said the county spent $20,000 in overtime pay alone in January to com-

Cole Gustafson, a researcher from the North Dakota State University extension branch, told the 50 or so in the audience that now is the time to do some planning and thinking.

He said no one is bound by confidentiality until they sign a lease and encouraged neighbors to talk to neighbors.

People who don’t own minerals acres may see opportunity in hauling gravel, or water to oil sites, he said.

“This is the time to become familiar with the technology and the value o f m i n e ra l r i g h t s,” Gustafson said.

He said farmers should be prepared to see more competition for labor.

“They’re going to have to be competitive, but it’s not always just about money.

Sometimes, it’s about time off, or an opportunity to get into farming. Not all people live for the top dollar,” he said.

ment on the situation.

The Wilder Ranch had similar problems two winters ago, when hungry animals broke down fences to find hay and feed on private land. Wilder was charged w i t h a n i m a l t re s p a s s , though those charges didn’t stick, and paid costs for fence repair and ruined hay.

At that time, both North Dakota and South Dakota animal health officials were involved and a management plan was agreed upon at that time.

Leading up to the impoundment order, the South Dakota vet office’s ongoing on-site investigation over the past several months found inhumane conditions, including empty feed bunks, snowfilled feed bunks, and bison running at large.

House rejects Continued from 1B Those opposed to the bill said the measure takes away local control because local governments can already chose to unitize.

Rep. Todd Porter, R-Mandan, said the bill promoted “citing and socializing.”

Rep. Mike Brandenburg, R-Edgeley, said the dramatic increase in the number of wind farms in the last several years showed the state was doing something right.

“That’s what will kill wind farms — restrictions,” he said, adding that the only people complaining are the ones without turbines.

Nelson said those arguments sound familiar.

“The arguments against this are the same that were made against oil and coal at their start, but the state eventually stepped in to protect landowners,” Nelson said.

The billed failed with 36 in favor and 57 against.

Space makes Mandan church ‘user-friendly’

By KAREN HERZOG Bismarck Tribune Like many churches built a half-century ago, Mandan United Methodist Church followed a traditional design — sanctuary above, fellowship room below — that served well for decades.

The challenge of those traditional designs today has become, most often, accommodating people with handicaps and disabilities who find it difficult to negotiate steps, and wheelchairs that need extra room in corridors and bathrooms.

Since July, Mandan United Methodist, at 610 12th St. N.W., has addressed those problems for its congregation members.

Adding 6,000 square feet of room, spacious handicapaccessible bathrooms on two floors, ground-level entry and a lift for traveling between floors, even for wheelchairs, has made the 51-year-old church “totally user-friendly,” said building committee chairman Ken Welk of Mandan.

“We had a lot of seniors and people with handicaps,” he said, including some who didn’t attend services as often as they wanted to because they were daunted by walking distances

A healing service is planned at 6 p.m. Sunday at Cowboy Community Church, 105½ Third Ave. N.W., Mandan. The public is welcome.

For more information, call the Rev. Gordon Brown at 400-5936.

Winter tea in Wilton on Feb. 26 A Winter Wonderland Tea is planned at 2 p.m. Feb. 26 at Mission Evangelical Free Church, 701 Seventh St. N., Wilton.

For fellowship, those attending are asked to bring their favorite tea cup.

Tea cups will be provided if needed.

Women’s Sunday at McCabe UMC Sunday is United Methodist Women Sunday at McCabe United Methodist Church, 1030 N. Sixth St., Bismarck.

Services will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Ken Welk holds the door on the lift, a type of elevator with room for two wheelchairs.

Welk said the church opted to purchase a lift as a cost savings over the price of an elevator.

from rear parking spots, as well as handling steps.

“They can now come in on the main floor and reach the fellowship area from the main floor,” he said.

Expanding to the east side of its property, the church now has a large library on the main floor with its own adjacent “family bathroom.” It makes it appropriate for families to gather during funerals as well as for brides to use as a preparation room before their weddings, Welk said.

The main floor also has new pastor and staff offices off the ground-level entry, large new accessible restrooms and a roomy coatroom just off the sanctuary, which remains in its original spot.

At a cost savings of $71,000, the church members decided to install a lift rather than an elevator. The lift can accommodate two wheelchairs or one wheelchair and one person, Welk said. The only difference in use is that the button must be depressed continuously to move the lift between floors.

On the lower level, a classroom with daylight windows has been added, along with a large utility room, which could

accommodate utilities when and if the church decides to redo its sanctuary area, Welk said. The church also replaced all its windows and the kitchen has received upgrades, including new countertops, a commercial dishwasher and refrigerator.

The dishwasher was a $6,000 investment, Welk said, but it can wash a load of dishes in 20 seconds, which frees up time to use regular dishware instead of plastic or paper, so it’s “green.”

The building was done by Curtis Construction of Fargo, which works only with churches, Welk said. The project came in at a cost of $671,000, including air conditioning, which was much less than quotes from other contractors, he said.

“We built what we could afford,” said the Rev. Steve Johnson, the church’s pastor. “We’re growing, with younger families with children.”

“We wanted to make the best use of the space and funds,” Welk said.

The church building can now accommodate more youth activities, community groups and kids’ and youth sleepovers, Welk said, particularly with the

“We wanted to make the best use of the space and funds.”

The Rev. Steve Johnson enlarged bathroom spaces.

A room has been fitted with speakers so that nursing mothers and those with young children can use it and still hear the services, he said.

Church members are truly proud that the building can accommodate people, Welk said: “We wanted and have a totally user-friendly church.”

Much of the construction work of the original church was done by its members, Johnson said. Mandan United Methodist has consolidated with First United Methodist in Mandan; that downtown Mandan building is now being used by another denomination, he said.

Construction work is now essentially done, they said. The only remaining work is the concrete parking lot.

“All the focus is on reaching out,” Johnson said.

Pa. church official is charged in scandal PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nearly a decade after the scandal over sexual abuse by priests erupted, Philadelphia’s district attorney has taken a step no prosecutor in the U.S. had taken before: filing criminal charges against a high-ranking Roman Catholic official for allegedly failing to protect children.

“I love my church,” said D i s t r i c t At t o r n e y Se t h Williams, himself a Catholic, “but I detest the criminal behavior of priests who abuse or allow the abuse of children.”

Williams announced charges Thursday against three priests, a parochial school teacher and Monsignor William Lynn, who as secretary of the clergy was one of the top officials in the Philadelphia Archdiocese from 1992 to 2004.

The three priests and the teacher were charged with raping boys. Lynn, 60, was accused not of molesting children but of endangering them. A damning grand jury report said at least two boys were sexually assaulted because he put two known pedophiles in posts where they had contact with youngsters.

“The rapist priests we accuse were well-known to the secretary of clergy, but he cloaked their conduct and put them in place to do it again,” the report said.

The grand jury report went further and suggested that the archbishop at the time, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, who retired in 2003, may have known what was going on. But no charges were brought against him. The report said that there is no direct evidence against the cardinal and that his lawyer testified that the 87-year-old Bevilacqua is suffering from dementia and cancer.

“On balance, we cannot conclude that a successful prosecution can be brought against the cardinal — at least for the moment,” the grand jury said.

Lynn could get up to 14 years in prison if convicte d . Hi s a t t o r n e y, To m Bergstrom, said: “We certainly don’t concede for a moment that he knew he was putting children at risk.”

Mark Crawford, New Jersey state director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, joined a few other activists for a rally Friday outside the archdiocese headquarters to welcome the indictment.

“It’s really incredible it’s taken this long to say, ‘Enough is enough,’” he said.

WH contenders woo activists

By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Appearing before conservatives who hold huge sway in the GOP presidential nomination fight, a stream of would-be Republican candidates called President Barack Obama weak and suggested they alone possess the talents needed to beat him and lead a country in crisis.

In unrelenting attacks on Obama, the lineup of potential contenders took on the president’s economic team, his advisers and even the first lady’s vegetable garden.

They did little to hide their disdain for the man they hope to replace.

“Two years ago, this new president faced an economic crisis and an increasingly uncertain world; an uncertain world has been made more dangerous by the lack of clear direction from a weak president,” former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota said concerns about the threats of a nucleararmed Iran and Islamic

extremists are overshadowed by worries about Obama’s handling of those threats.

“The only thing more alarming than these threats is the president’s weak response. We can’t win a peace with apologies and reset buttons,” said Thune, who is contemplating a presidential bid but has yet to lay the groundwork to start a full-fledged campaign.

The annual gathering marked the unofficial start of the GOP presidential nomination fight. Not a single Republican has announced his or her candidacy and there is no clear front-runner among the potential candidates to take on the Democratic incumbent.

But many of the speakers are all-but-declared contenders. When Romney couched his ambitions — “if I were to decide to run for president,” he began one part of his speech — the crowd in the ballroom laughed.

They also rose to their feet when he talked about an out-of-work Obama as early

as 2013.

“It’s going to take a lot more than new rhetoric to put Americans back to work.

It’s going to take a new president,” Romney said to cheers.

Thune, too, looked ahead to the next election.

“If we’re going to solve our entitlement problem in this country, we need to solve our White House problem by electing a conservative president in 2012,” Thune said.

The start of the 2012 presidential campaign has been slower than the beginning of the last cycle, when candidates hired staff in the days after the 2006 midterm elections and shortly afterward opened campaign offices in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

This time, there has been a more tepid start, in part because potential candidates are still contemplating the role of the tea party in the nominating process and, in part, because no one else is fully in the race.

Would-be contenders were using the three-day event to test messages,

introduce themselves and gauge support. They also sought to prove their mettle among the strongest conservative activists who are looking for a candidate who can level a devastating attack on the incumbent president.

For all the talk of a weak Obama, the candidates overlooked their own vulnerabilities: ■ Romney didn’t mention his role in Massachusetts’ health care overhaul that has many similarities to Obama’s national effort.

■ Thune did not mention his vote in support of the 2008 Wall Street bailout that has become anathema for conservatives and resulted in several Republicans losing to primary challengers in 2010.

Romney’s speech even took a swipe at first lady Michelle Obama’s White House garden in a dig at Obama’s new effort at bipartisanship rolled out in the State of the Union.

“He sounded like he was going to dig up the first lady’s organic garden to put in a Bob’s Big Boy,” Romney said, referencing the burger chain.

Energy budget calls for several cuts

By FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will propose significantly cutting fossil fuel research and closing two facilities, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Friday.

“Fiscal responsibility demands shared sacrifice — it means cutting programs we would not cut in better fiscal times,” he wrote in a blog post Friday outlining the cuts, as well as a big increase for clean energy, that will be proposed in next year’s budget.

Chu said that the budget proposal, which will be released Monday, would cut the Office of Fossil Energy by 45 percent, or $418 million. That includes eliminating the Fuels Program, the Fuel Cells Program, the Oil and Gas Research and Development Program and the Unconventional Fossil Technology Program.

The budget would also save $70 million by reducing funding for the hydrogen technology program in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The administration would also end operations at the Tevatron facility at Fermi National Laboratory in Illinois, saving $35 million, and close the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facil-

ity at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, saving $10.3 million. The department made the decision to close that facility in January.

Chu said the budget would also cut DOE corporate management by nearly 13 percent, saving nearly $45 million.

He did not say how much of an increase or decrease the administration would seek for the overall DOE budget, and a spokeswoman declined to provide that information Friday.

Following up on President Barack Obama’s State of the Union call for the nation to get 80 percent of its electricity from clean sources by 2035, Chu said the budget would include over $8 billion for research, development, and deployment investments in clean energy technology programs. A White House fact sheet last month said that represents a one-third increase.

Obama, in that speech, also called for eliminating billions in tax breaks to oil companies, and Chu said that the administration will propose repealing several tax preferences for fossil f u e l s. C h u s a i d t h o s e repeals, which are not part of the DOE budget, would save $3.6 billion next year and $46.2 billion over 10 years.

The cuts and increases, which were first reported by National Journal, are only proposed; any changes would have to be approved

by Congress.

Another energy program not part of the DOE budget, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, would be cut in half — by about $2.5 billion, two people familiar with the budget proposal told The Associated Press this week. That program provides home heating aid program for the poor.

Bill Wicker, a spokesman for the Senate energy committee chairman, Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said that “some of the cuts DOE is proposing seem sensible to

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Coast Guard says the cleanup of oiled beaches along the Gulf of Mexico has reached the point where they should be left alone to avoid further damaging the ecosystem.

A Coast Guard report released Friday says the crews of workers, heavy equipment and thorough scrubbing of the shores now could cause more damage than leaving the remaining oil there to slowly degrade.

It says birds, sea turtles, fish and other species are more likely to be damaged by an aggressive cleanup.

The report is designed to guide the remaining cleanup of the BP PLC spill from the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police are searching for a man they say went on an 11-hour deadly stabbing spree, killing his stepfather, then his girlfriend and her mother, and injuring two others as he escaped.

Police say the suspect’s stepfather, 54-year-old Aleksandr Kuznetsov, was found with multiple stab wounds early Friday in his home in Brooklyn. About 11 hours later, police found the bodies of his stepson’s girlfriend and her mother a few blocks away. They have not been identified.

Police say the suspect, 23-year-old Maksim Gelman, escaped in a Lexus he stole Friday. They say he drove a few blocks north, then stole another car by carjacking and stabbing its driver. He hit a pedestrian as he escaped.

The pedestrian was hospitalized in critical condition. The driver is stable.

Experts think whale may have scoliosis HONOLULU (AP) — Whale experts believe a sick whale spotted off Kauai this week may be suffering from scoliosis or curvature of the spine.

It’s a rare disorder but scientists say they have seen it in other marine mammals like dolphins.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s marine mammal response coordinator, David Schofield, says officials are confident the whale was either born with the condition or acquired it over the course of its life.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Friday Schofield ruled out a boat collision, saying it’s not plausible an animal hit by a boat would have retained the shape of such an injury.

A flight instructor on Kauai spotted the white, emaciated whale with a severely deformed spine on Monday. He said the 50-foot whale “appeared to be bent in half.”

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont lawmakers are considering making it a crime for convicted sex offenders to use false names on social media sites like Facebook, after one such incident was reported in the state.

Only two states have related measures, said Erik Fitzpatrick, a lawyer on the research staff for the Vermont Legislature: New York and Illinois bar convicted sex offenders from using social networking sites at all as a condition of their probation. The National Conference of State Legislatures was unaware of similar laws or pending legislating in other states.

A former teacher at a school for boys who had committed sex crimes told a state Senate committee Friday that he spotted a Facebook profile last fall with a picture of a former student in the program who was using an alias.

Chuck Laramie, the former teacher, said the 26-year-old man had become Facebook friends with 14- and 15-year-old girls.

Rangers kill more poachers this year JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Park rangers in South Africa are cracking down, hard and with lethal force, on rhinoceros poaching. Nine alleged poachers have already been killed this year by rangers, twice as many as in all of 2010.

The sharp increase in the number of poacher deaths has gone hand-in-hand with an uptick in the number of killings by poachers of rhinos for their horns, which fetch top dollar in Asia where they’re prized for their purported medicinal powers.

The rangers only fire on poachers in self-defense, insisted Bandile Mkhize, chief executive of KwaZulu-Natal parks and a former top manager at South Africa’s premier Kruger park.

“The major problem is that the poachers are heavily armed,” he said. “Do we allow them to shoot our rangers as well as our rhinos?”

Last year, 333 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa, nearly three times as many as in 2009. Park rangers have responded by stepping up training and patrols. South African army troops are even expected to join anti-poaching patrols in Kruger, which is the size of Israel and is in northeast part of the country near Mozambique, later this year.

Chinese asylum seeker freed Friday TORONTO (AP) — A young Chinese asylum seeker who boarded a flight from Hong Kong to Canada disguised as an elderly white man has been released from Canadian custody after more than three months in detention, his lawyer said Friday.

Lawyer Daniel McLeod said his client was released on condition he post a $5,000 bond and report weekly to the Canada Border Services Agency.

The identity and age of the man, who did not appear in the Immigration and Refugee Board hearing but was listening to the translation through a telephone, cannot be revealed due to a publication ban.

Colombian rebels free 2 captives BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian rebels released to the International Red Cross on Friday two more captives, a young marine they captured eight months ago and a 48-year-old town councilman seized in 2009.

That brought to three the number of captives that the leftist The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, have released this week. Two more liberations are slated for Sunday.

The two were flown to safety from remote southern Colombia in a Brazilian military helicopter.

However, hopes that a new batch of liberations by the FARC could augur peace talks were dampened by the kidnapping Wednesday by suspected rebels of two men authorities identified as paper company employees.

Magnitude-6.8 quake hits Chile

By EVA VERGARA Associated Press CAUQUENES, Chile — A magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck central Chile Friday, centered in almost exactly the same spot where last y e a r ’s m a g n i t u d e - 8 . 8 quake spawned a tsunami and devastated coastal communities.

Electricity and phone service were disrupted and thousands of people fled to higher ground following Friday’s quake, but the government quickly announced that there was no risk of a tsunami, and there were no reports of damage or injuries.

Hours later, magnitude5.3 and magnitude-6.3 temblors shook the seismically active area.

President Sebastian Pinera appealed for calm and praised his government and Chileans in general for responding quickly.

“Today we’re better prepared,” Pinera said. “I think we’ve learned the lesson of Feb. 27, 2010.”

Rodrigo Ubilla, the vice interior minister, said the navy had “totally discounted any risk of a tsunami.”

Still, the strong earthquake frightened many Chileans, especially along the coast, where people quickly moved to higher ground.

“There was a preventive s e l f - e v a c u a t i o n ,” s a i d Vicente Nunez, who directs the National Emergency Office, ONEMI. But he said Chileans could safely return home.

Residents fled their homes in Talcahuano, a port city whose center was ravaged last year by huge walls of water that sent shipping containers and fishing boats into downtown buildings and streets, municipal spokesman Javier Gonzalez told The Associated Press.

Skyscrapers swayed in the capital of Santiago, and in the inland town of Cauquenes, mothers ran into the streets carrying babies in their arms.

The earthquake struck offshore, about 30 miles north of the city of Concepcion. The epicenter was relatively close to the coast, at 36 degrees south latitude and 73 degrees west longitude — almost exactly where the Feb. 27, 2010

Friday’s quake was half as deep, at 11 miles, as the devastating temblor of Feb. 27, 2010.

And while last year’s massive quake killed at least 521 people and left 200,000 homeless, this time it seemed that Chile emerged relatively unscathed.

The reason last year’s quake generated a tsunami while Friday’s quake at roughly the same spot didn’t spark a warning was largely a function of strength, with the 8.8-magnitude quake being about 800 times larger in terms of energy released, said Na t h a n B e c k e r, a n oceanographer at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

“This is just another example of Republican big government intruding into my life.

“While I do own a cell phone and know how to use it, my main job in my vehicle is to be in as much control of it as possible. Those who ‘multitask’ as in texting, eating, fixing make-up or lighting up are the ones who really should have a chauffeur, and the ones who feel the absolute need to have a phone in their ear require some counseling. Do you really think you are that important to put others at risk while not being aware of your surroundings?

VOICES OF THE PEOPLE More than a political label

ing divorce, abstinence education, smoking rights, hate crimes or home schooling, which were the concern of the editorial.

I ask your readers not to be misled into thinking it does. We want to see the same kind of religious freedoms we have here in North Dakota extended to our religious brethren in Turkey.

By BRENT MCCARTHY Bismarck The most important fact to know about American politics is that all Democrats are liberals, but not all Republicans are conservatives.

Democrats and Republicans were indistinguishable by the 2006 midterms.

In our last presidential race, conservatives had a choice between two socialists; one had an “R” beside his name.

In Washington, newly elected Republicans will be considered uninvited guests of the ruling class political elite and their biased liberal media.

Republicans who support pieces of their Marxist agenda will be accepted into this exclusive club.

They will receive invitations to the cocktail parties and to appear on network socalled “news” programs without the “gotcha” questions.

About the only differences between President George W. Bush and a Democrat were his honesty, integrity, tax cuts, reverence for our military and the ‘R’ beside his name. He was never a conservative. He did things like expand entitlement programs and called for amnesty for illegal aliens. The mainstream media still campaigned against him. Democrats are still obsessed with him.

John McCain is a liberal who spent his career voting

This election is no emergency

By LYNETTE LEWIS Bismarck

like a Democrat. He and candidate Barack Obama didn’t disagree on much.

Once the media secured McCain’s nomination over more conservative challengers in the primaries, it dumped him to campaign for the unqualified radical with the “D” beside his name.

Americans have expectations of Republicans that don’t include compromise.

We expect things like deep cuts to entitlement spending, permanent tax cuts, drilling and the full repeal of the unconstitutional Obama/Conrad-care.

We expect our borders to be secured and illegal aliens sent home.

If Republicans stand up for freedom, they will be despised by the ruling class.

They will miss the cocktail parties. They will be demonized by the media. They will be loved by the people.

Support freedom of religion for all

By THE REV. OLIVER HERBEL Fargo Your editorial of Feb. 3 mentioned SCR 4014. It is a resolution asking the government in Turkey to grant religious freedom to the office of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

The Ecumenical Patriarch works in concert with the other patriarchs to lead the Orthodox Churches.

The question is: Who will be expendable?

The nation’s important conversation about reducing the federal debt has to come around to deciding what the cuts will be and what actions Congress must take to accomplish fiscal responsibility. Up to this point, we’ve been focused on whether to cut $38 billion, $40 billion or $100 billion from the 2011 budget. The conversation has been about dollars that must be cut before 2012 elections — a political deadline, not a fiscal one.

It has not been a discussion about people. It should be about both.

Even more worrisome was Sen. Kent Conrad saying this week that, basically, we still don’t get it. He described the $32 billion in cuts proposed by House Republicans as “small

Absolutely, there’s waste in the federal budget — duplication, fraud, excess, grapes.” The Hill quoted greed.

When we’re talking about Often, when a demand is

We talk about making cuts but we don’t talk about the consequences

made to know what the cuts will be, it’s an attempt to scare people. That’s not the intention here. Rather, if we are down to identifying the cuts, then people need to have an opportunity, a right, if you will, to prepare the way.

Depending upon the specifics, the state might pick up the slack. Or not.

Same goes for school and park districts, county and city commissions and numerous boards.

If the way federal government does business changes, those changes will ripple across the country.

I noted last week that the city of Mandan picks up about $1 million in federal funding each year, mostly for streets and roads. If in reaching a rational federal budget it is necessary to squeeze transportation dollars, what’s the city to do?

What’s the plan?

To answer that and other questions, citizens need to be engaged in the process.

Unless, of course, gridlock — with the U.S House headed one direction and the U.S. Senate the other — shuts it all down.

Hopefully, those in Washington have figured out that this is serious business. that progress must be made on debt reduction and defict reduction, and hopefully without throwing the economy into a dive.

The American people are extremely resilient. Tell them what must be done and they will do it.

The idea that we are all couch potatoes and entitlement-dependent sponges isn’t accurate.

Make your proposals.

Explain the consequences.

Tell the truth as you know it. In return, the people will do the necessary heavy lifting.

Right now, we are not having that kind of discussion, and we need to.

Wildcats pick right time to get a win Center-Stanton stops 3-game losing streak

By MICHAEL WEBER Bismarck Tribune The Center-Stanton boys basketball team had its ups and downs during the regular season, but it started the postseason on a high note Friday afternoon.

The Wildcats cruised after the first quarter, rolling past the Flasher Bulldogs 60-29 at

the Mandan High School gym in the quarterfinals of the District 9 tournament.

C e n t e r- St a n t o n , t h e fourth seed, improved to 910 overall and snapped a three-game losing streak.

“We began the season with just one starter from last year, so we knew there would be some growing pains,” Center-Stanton coach Jamie Entzi said. “We got better through the course of the season and now is the time to play your best basketball. We started this tournament with a good

Center-Stanton 60, Flasher 29 effort. Hopefully we’ll keep it going.”

The Wildcats will take on top-seeded Solen in a semifinal. Solen won the regular season meeting in overtime.

In other quarterfinal games Friday, second-seed-

ed Shiloh downed New Salem-Almont 60-44, and third-seeded Standing Rock outlasted Grant County 3732. Shiloh and Standing Rock will meet in tonight’s other semifinal. The Skyhawks defeated the Warriors 53-49 in the regular season.

Center-Stanton trailed 15-13 in the opening minute of the second quarter, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Wendlin Berger sparked a 12-0 run that made it 25-15 Wildcats with 1:38 left in the first half. Later, Adam Berg Continued on 4D

Marauders senior sinks free throws, Wildcats

Bismarck’s Sam Dougherty is sandwiched between two Austin defenders Friday in Central Division play.

Fighting way to the victory

By CINDY PETERSON Bismarck Tribune University of Mary point guard Anthony Moody stood at the free-throw line and went through the motions of shooting a gift toss.

Moody had confidence in his ability to knock down freebies, but he just wanted to get in some practice. The 6-foot senior netted 4 of 4 attempts from the foul line in the final 18 seconds to help the Marauders overtake the Wayne State Wildcats 62-59 in Northern Sun men’s basketball action on Friday night.

U-Mary, the No. 2 team in the NSIC and the No. 5 team in the Central Region, registered its 11th straight victory.

The No. 9-ranked Wayne State women topped the U-Mary women 79-67 at the McDowell Activity Center. The Wildcats are the top team in the NSIC. Moody’s first pair of free throws came with 18.8 seconds remaining to give the Marauders a 59-56 lead.

Teammate Alex Dorr hit the first of two attempts with 11.4 seconds to go for a 6056 U-Mary advantage.

But Wayne State made things interesting.

Bismarck, Bruins go at it in second

By LOU BABIARZ Tribune Sports Editor The Bismarck Bobcats’ 2-0 win over the Austin Bruins on Friday night was about as routine as it gets — except for the giant line brawl.

With 5:24 to play in the second period and the Bobcats clinging to a 1-0 lead, Bismarck’s Grant Mindt delivered a check from behind, and tempers quickly escalated.

All 12 players on the ice — including Bismarck goalie Ryan Faragher and his Austin counterpart, Keegan Amundson — got involved in the fracas.

“I thought we got the most momentum out of that, because I think all of our guys came out on top,” said Bobcat forward Dan Zawacki, who scored Bismarck’s first goal. “That was our first line brawl of

Bobcats 2, Austin 0 the season, and it got us pumped up.”

The confusion that ensued resulted in a 10minute delay. The penalties posted on the NAHL’s Pointstreak website didn’t match what was announced at VFW Sports Center, and also don’t add up given neither team received a power play. But unofficially, 152 of the game’s 170 penalty minutes resulted from the brawl, with 10 more coming from when Bismarck’s Ro d n e y L a L o n d e a n d Au s t i n’s No l a n K i r l e y dropped the gloves just two seconds later.

“It is what it is,” Bobcats coach Layne Sedevie said.

“Guys have to protect everybody on that team out there. It’s part of hockey.”

Schwagler eyes No. 1 Mandan senior not happy being ranked second at 160 pounds

By STEVE THOMAS Bismarck Tribune Polls. Rascally, provocative polls.

Mandan wrestler Tate Schwagler won’t make derogator y comments about polls. But he doesn’t shy away from speaking his piece when he disagrees with them, either.

For instance, Schwagler, last year’s Class A 152p o u n d champion, doesn’t buy the idea he’s t h e No. 2 1 6 0 pounder in the state.

T h e s t a t e Schwagler wrestling coaches’ poll has him second behind Valley City’s

UP NEXT West Region tournament, 9 a.m. today at Mandan Middle School Brandon Larson.

Purely hypothetical, according to Schwagler.

“I won’t see him until the (state) finals. I’ve never wrestled him before,” Schwagler said.

Likewise, he says the Braves are getting short shrift in the team rankings at No. 7.

“We should be able to do better. If all our guys come to wrestle we should be in the top five,” Schwagler said. “... Bismarck, Century, Fargo South and West Fargo are pretty tough but I can see us taking fifth.”

The road to the Class A state tournament begins today with regional tournaments in Mandan and Wahpeton.

Gunderson gets it done in bareback Cowboy takes ‘short’ trip north from Agar, S.D.

By STEVE THOMAS Bismarck Tribune In rodeo cowboy terms, Bismarck is just up the road from Agar, S.D. — fewer than 150 miles.

So it’s natural that Joe Gunderson, an Agar resident, is a regular visitor to the Bismarck PRCA Championship Rodeo.

“I try to come up here

every year ... but I haven’t had too good luck up here,” Gunderson said.

That changed on Friday, though. Gunderson, a 25year-old cowboy from Agar, rode Teardrop for an 85 to leap to the top of the bareback standings.

Gunderson’s ride was six points better than that of runner-up Scott Montague of Rapid City, S.D. A good score, but not unreachable, according to Gunderson.

The 85 will have to withstand the efforts of the competitors at tonight’s 7:30 per-

“I hope it holds up. It should get a check, but it’s not unbeatable,” he said.

Gunderson is off to the best start he’s experienced in his six years as a professional. He’s gotten a score in all eight outings this season and cashed a check in Billings, Mont., Kansas City, Brook-

ings and Rapid City, S.D. “I’ve gotten a quality ride in all of them ... but there aren’t many buck-offs in bareback riding,” Gunderson said.

Gunderson said he knew nothing about Teardrop prior to Friday’s ride. “He’s just a colt. He’s new and green, but he’s a pretty good horse and tonight went really well,” he said.

Going into Friday’s performance, Gunderson sat second in the world PRCA bareback standings.

Fighting Sioux get win with team effort GRAND FORKS (AP) — Senior forward Matt Frattin had a goal and two assists to lead fifth-ranked North Dakota to a 6-1 win over Alaska-Anchorage on Friday.

The Fighting Sioux (20-82, 15-6-0) moved into sole possession of second place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, one

point behind conferenceleader Denver.

UND goalie Aaron Dell made 21 saves to get his WCHA-leading 19th win.

“We got some great plays ... and some solid play from everybody in the lineup,” North Dakota coach Dave Hakatol said.

UND was playing without

injured players Chay Genoway (leg) and Danny Kristo (frostbitten toes). But the Sioux got points from 10 different players.

Jason Gregoire, Jake Marto and Evan Trupp had a goal and assist each. Derek Forbort had two assists.

Frattin’s goal just 5:54 into the game helped North

Dakota take a 3-0 lead after one period. Frattin leads the WCHA with 22 goals.

Marto’s goal followed Frattin’s by 17 seconds and Mario Lamoureux’s four minutes later.

Jason Gregoire and Corban Knight also scored for the Sioux.

Bobcats

District 9

Continued from 1D Austin leads the Central Division in penalty minutes and major penalties (46), and the Bruins and Bobcats have had a few dustups this season.

“It was a physical game,” Zawacki said.

“They’re a rough team. ...

They’re a team that likes to fight, and we’ve got some good fighters. Emotion gets the best of you out there sometimes.”

There was little emotion in a listless first period, but the Bobcats dominated the second, outshooting the Bruins 17-5.

Bismarck broke the scoreless deadlock at 5:41 when Zawacki scored off the rebound of a Nikolaj Rosenthal shot.

“The puck went off a shin pad, and it bounced right out to me,” Zawacki said. “I was trying to get a one-timer, and the goalie wasn’t there.”

The Bruins thought they knotted it up on Bismarck’s second manadvantage. On an oddman rush, Cody Hotchkin fired one off the underside of the crossbar.

Hotchkin began pumping his fists believing it was a goal, but the red light never came on and the referee clearly signaled no.

The line brawl came about a minute later, but things settled down after that and the ensuing skirmish between LaLonde and Kirley.

Continued from 1D made a steal near midcourt and dropped in a layup just before the halftime buzzer sounded to give the Wildcats a 28-17 advantage.

“We started a little slow and I think part of it was having one player with district tournament experience,” Entzi said.

“But then we picked up the defensive intensity, and started pushing the ball more. After we got a few shots to fall, we relaxed a little and played our game.”

Center-Stanton took command after halftime, opening the third quarter with a 9-2 run to stretch its lead to 37-19. It carried a 45-26 advantage into the final eight minutes.

Joey Barth scored 14 points in the second half and finished with a game-high 17. Berger added 16.

Entzi said the regular season ending three-game losing streak didn’t leave his team discouraged.

“We lost to Shiloh by six points, Hazen by three and Turtle Lake(-MercerMcClusky) by two. Those are pretty good teams,” he said. “We had a chance to win all of those games … we just couldn’t finish any of them out. But we know we’ve improved a lot. We feel we’re ready for this time of the year.”

MIKE McCLEARY/Tribune

Bismarck’s Donald Olivieri skates past Austin’s Alex Tesensky on Friday at the VFW Sports Center.

Bismarck wasn’t satisfied taking a one-goal lead into the second intermission.

With 28.6 seconds left in the period, Nikolaj Rosenthal whipped a wrister from the right circle past Austin backup goalie Eamon McAdam, making it 2-0.

Bobcat backup Tommy Burke finished off the shutout Faragher had started. Burke was credited with five saves and Faragher 15.

Bismarck has frustrat-

ed the Bruin offense all season. In seven games against Austin, the Bobcats have surrendered a total of eight goals. Not coincidentally, the Bobcats have won six of those games.

“I don’t think it’s anyt h i n g s p e c i a l w e’r e doing,” Sedevie said.

“We’ve been playing well defensively lately in general.”

The Bobcats, who host Austin again tonight, have won three straight.

“With the new guys

coming in at the trade deadline, I think those were the pieces of the puzzle we were missing,” Zawacki said.

U-Mary Continued from 1D Brad Starken drained a 3pointer from the upper right side with 3.7 seconds left to slice UMary’s lead to 60-59.

Moody stepped to the line again with 1.9 seconds to go and drained another pair to ice the victory.

“In previous games, I thought about it too much,” Moody said of shooting free throws. “I knew this was a big game for us. I stepped up with great confidence, and I was able to knock them down.”

Moody and Eric Erdmann led the Marauders in scoring with 14 points apiece. Starting guard Cameron Lee added 10 points.

Post Alex Dorr came off the bench and tacked up nine points to go along with 11 rebounds.

The Marauders avenged a 6655 loss from Dec. 11 at Wayne, Neb. U-Mary coach Randall Herbst believes his team is much better from early December.

“We have more toughness,” Herbst said. “We were playing at home, and that’s always a positive. When we went down there last time we were still licking our wounds when Augustana took it to us.”

The Marauders appeared to be in control when Eric Erdmann converted on a bucket while driving the left baseline. The senior forward put U-Mary up 57-48 with 4:19 remaining.

The Wildcats, again, make matters interesting. Wayne State reeled off a quick 8-0 run with Derell Williams, Vontrell Seroyer and Jason Jensen scoring field goals. Amry Shelby added a pair of gift tosses. Jensen narrowed the deficit to 57-56 when he slashed to the hoop with 27 seconds to play.

From there, Moody and Dorr sealed the victory from the freethrow line.

Moody and Herbst credited Wayne State’s defense in helping the Wildcats close in. The Wildcats switched between man-toman, a 3-2 zone and a 1-3-1 trap.

“We had to switch up a lot of

Wayne State didn’t allow a UMary field goal in the final 4:19.

“We would beat their pressure or trap,” Herbst said. “We didn’t turn the ball over, but somebody needed to make that next play.

Nobody made a play to finish it off.

“We had some match-up issues. They got some penetration, which hurt us a bit. We played too far off their 3-point shooters, and we goofed up on a couple switches.”

Starken led Wayne State with 18 points. Shelby and Jensen added 13 each. Nine of Shelby’s points came in the first 2:30 of the second half.

Wayne State 79, U-Mary 67 Ashley Arlen and Mara Hjelle provided the Wildcats with a nice 1-2 punch in the paint. Arlen, a 6foot-2 junior, finished with a double-double, recording 19 points and 11 rebounds. Hjelle, a 6-2 senior, added 13 points and four blocked shots. Guard Alisha Brown tacked up 15 points.

“They are as well-rounded as they come,” U-Mary coach Fred Fridley said. “You have to guard them inside and out. If you double the posts, then they start drilling 3s. Then you have to come outside and they can throw it inside to Arlen or Hjelle.

There’s a reason why they are 171 in the conference.”

The Wildcats finished the contest shooting 56.3 percent from the field (27 of 48) and shot an impressive 13 of 21 in the second half for 61.9 percent. The

Wildcats netted 9 of 17 attempts from the arc.

U-Mary hit 23 of 62 attempts from the floor, including a 6-of18 effort from the 3-point line.

Guard Ali Collins led the Marauders with 23 points and eight steals. McKenzie Foster added 14 points, Cassandra Kelsch 11 and Shaunna Knife 10.

“We had looks. We just couldn’t get shots to drop,” Fridley said. “All of our looks from the 3point line were open. We had 18 uncontested 3s. I will take that with this group. I was happy with our execution.”

Bismarck PRCA Championship Rodeo Continued from 1D This year’s fast start is a carryover from last season’s strong finish. “Last year I made the NFR and ended up 11th in the world. I had a really good year,” Gunderson said.

Shiloh 60, New Salem-Almont 44 Shiloh dominated the last 10 minutes and defeated a game New Salem-Almont team that entered the postseason with a 1-18 record.

The Skyhawks (9-11) led by only 35-29 late in the third quarter before catching fire. Zane Miller started a quarter-ending 9-0 run with a basket, and back-to-back scores by Matt Rask followed. Later, Joey Dwyer beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer and suddenly it was 44-29 Shiloh.

“We struggled some offensively for a good part of the game, but then all of a sudden we started executing and knocking down some shots,” Shiloh coach Mike Dwyer said. “That was a big run for us. It put us in control.”

Shiloh started the fourth quarter with seven unanswered points — four by Aaron Hultstrand — to all but put it away.

The two teams were engaged in an allout battle the first 22 minutes, with Shiloh leading 13-12 at the end of the first quarter and 30-22 at halftime.

“Give New Salem lots of credit.

They’ve had a challenging year, but they came to play,” Dwyer said. “I admire the effort and the energy they brought to this game. I always tell my kids that at tournament time, every game’s a dogfight. We were in one tonight.“ Joey Dwyer led a balanced Shiloh scoring attack with 15 points. He also dished out seven assists. Hultstrand contributed 13 points, and Miller and Rask each added 10.

Standing Rock 37, Grant County 32 The last quarterfinal game of the day had little to offer in the way of offense, but the ending sure was entertaining.

After a 10-0 Grant County run evened the score at 29 with 2:32 left, Standing Rock scored five unanswered points in the next 1:29 and held on for the victory.

“It was ugly, but we won the game,” Standing Rock coach Juno Pintar said.

“There was no consistency on offense, but our defense played well. That was the difference.”

The Warriors led 29-19 with just under six minutes left in the contest, but the Coyotes erased the deficit behind Kalin Bachmeier. The junior scored eight points in a 10-0 run, the final two on a scoop layup that tied the game. However, Kerby St. John scored 11 seconds later to put the Warriors ahead to stay.

St. John scored again after a Grant County miss, and later made one of two free throws with 1:03 to play to make it 34-29.

A Bachmeier 3-pointer with 36 seconds left pulled the Coyotes within two, but after Standing Rock’s Steath Keener missed the front end of a bonus, Grant County’s Brett Ulrich misfired on a 10footer that would have tied the game.

Later, the Warriors’ Marcus White Bull went 0-for-2 from the charity stripe with 14.9 seconds to play, but teammate Kelly Leingang stepped in and grabbed the second miss. St. John then netted a pair of free throws with 10.7 seconds left to extend Standing Rock’s lead to 36-32.

“I was happy with the way the guys responded in the fourth quarter,” Pintar said. “They could have buckled, but they made plays to win the game. When we had to have a play, we got one.”

White Bull topped the Warriors with 16 points. St. John added 14.

Bachmeier scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 20.

Mandan’s Tate Schwagler

TOM STROMME/Tribune

Mandan’s Tate Schwagler is the second-ranked wrestler in the state at 160 pounds. The Braves senior won a state title at 152 last year.

Each region will send eight qualifiers per weight class to next week’s state tournament at the Fargodome. There are nine West Region teams, and each team can enter 17 wrestlers — an extra in each of three weight classes.

Schwagler’s road to last year’s state title wasn’t an easy one. He dutifully climbed the ladder to a state championship rung by rung, not skipping one.

Schwagler qualified for the state tournament with losing records as a seventh and eighth grader. Then, as a freshman, he went 15-7 and placed fifth at 140. The next year he was a state runner-up with a 30-7 mark at 145.

Last season he won the 152-pound title with a 38-5 record. He’ll take a 20-5 record into the regional tournament, which begins at 9 a.m. today at the Mandan Middle School.

At the start of the season, Schwagler was the state’s top-ranked 152p o u n d e r, h a v i n g dropped from his 170pound summer rodeo weight.

“That was a tough cut,” he admits.

He moved up to 160, leaving behind St. Mar y’s 152-pounder Brock Krumm. Krumm,

ranked No. 1 at 152, is the only in-state wrestler to defeat Schwagler. The Mandan senior’s other three losses are to outof-state opponents.

Krumm won 7-1 in early December at the Mandan Lions Tournament and 6-1 in the Dickinson Classic just before Christmas.

“Right away there was a lot of pressure (as a returning champion),” Schwagler said. “I was pretty upset after I lost that match to Brock Krumm at the Lions. I started training way harder after that loss. It gave me a lot of motivation.”

Schwagler said he has since come to terms with life as a defending champion.

“Being ranked No. 1 isn’t all that important,” he said. “... I still want to win just as bad, but if I don’t take state and I go out and give my 100 percent I can live with it.”

“Winning state last year took the pressure off because I already have a state championship,” he added.

Schwagler said he’s become more otherfocused as a senior. Last year at this time he said he was chasing down his goal of an individual state championship.

This year he’s putting

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Steve Marino made seven birdies for the second straight day and shot a 6-under 66 to build a four-shot lead in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Marino finally made his first bogey of the tournament on the par-5 14th at Pebble Beach when his third shot bounced along the ledge of a bunker before falling in. He followed that by making three birdies on his final four

The West Region’s state dual qualifiers have already been announced. Based on the regional dual standings, Bismarck (8-0) advances as No. 1, Century (6-1) is No. 2, Turtle Mountain (62) finished third and Dickinson (4-4) earned the No. 4 spot in a tiebreaker with Mandan. ... Fargo South is the East Region dual champion, followed by West Fargo, Valley City and Grand Forks Central. ... West Fargo is the defending state dual champion. Bismarck won the individual tournament last wint e r. . . . T h e We s t Region tournament finals are expected to begin about 5:45 p.m.

Bismarck and West Fargo are the defending regional tournament champions.

Continued from 1D more effort into making the Braves a better team.

“Last year I wasn’t much of a leader. ... This year I’m trying to lead by trying to get the team ready to wrestle,” he said.

Krumm (152) is among nine top-ranked wrestlers who will compete in the West Region tournament. Others who were rated No. 1 in the final Class A coaches poll are Ryan Blees (130), Joe Schumacher (140), Drew Spaulding (145) and Nick Nelson (285) of Bismarck; T.J. LaVallie ( 1 1 2 ) a n d Ka m e ro n Hamley (135) of Turtle Mountain; Paul Michaelson (125) of Williston; and Meyer Bohn (215) of Century.

Bismarck tops the team poll (170 points), followed by Century (149), West Fargo (126), Turtle Mountain (119) and Fargo South (112).

Although Schwagler left the door slightly open to a collegiate wrestling career, he could well be competing in the final few bouts of his life.

Rodeo competition is a big deal to him, and that’s probably what he’ll devote himself to in college. He was the allaround champion in the No r t h D a k o t a Hi g h School Rodeo last

spring, finishing fourth in team roping with teammate Brandon Thomas and second in bareback.

He placed 26th in bareback in the National Hi g h S c h o o l F i n a l s Rodeo last spring and, along with Thomas, finished 21st in team roping in 2009.

“Wrestling and rodeo are pretty equal, but it’s more likely to be rodeo,” Schwagler said.

SPORTS DIGEST Bonds to enter plea for a third time

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds’ perjury trial is fast approaching and the lawyers and judge are still scrambling to set limits and rules for the month-long proceedings scheduled to start March 21.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ordered Bonds to enter a plea for the third time since he was initially charged in 2007 with lying to a grand jury about his steroid use. The new plea was needed because prosecutors Thursday filed a revised indictment, cutting the number of charges Bonds faces from 11 to five.

Bonds is expected to plead not guilty when he is arraigned March 1, the same day the judge ordered the slugger’s former trainer to appear in court. Illston wants Greg Anderson to reiterate in front of her and under oath his refusal to testify against Bonds during the trial. Illston plans to jail Anderson on contempt of court charges for the duration of the trial if he follows through on his pledge.

Clemens issues subpoena to House oversight panel WASHINGTON (AP) — Roger Clemens has issued a subpoena to the House committee that he’s accused of lying to about using performance-enhancing drugs during his pitching career.

The former baseball star wants all interview summaries, notes and memoranda related to the hearing on steroid use in Major League Baseball held three years ago by the House Overs i g h t a n d G ov e r n m e n t Reform Committee.

That includes communications between the comm i t t e e a n d 2 0 p e o p l e, including retired baseball players Jose Canseco, Chuck Knoblauch and Andy Pettitte. The committee revealed Friday that the list also includes Clemens’ former personal trainer Brian McNamee, who told investigators he injected Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs.

Mubarak quits, stocks rally NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks ended the week with a moderate gain Friday after the resignation of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak eased investors’ fears about a spread of violence to oilproducing countries.

The Dow Jones industrial average, down nearly 50 points early in the day as Mubarak tried to remain in office, closed up 44. The price of oil fell to a 10-week low.

Investors have been concerned during the nearly three weeks of anti-government demonstrations in Egypt that the unrest could spread to countries like Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s biggest exporters of oil. Traders’ uneasiness didn’t stop the market from rising in response to strong fourth-quarter earnings, and it didn’t’ stop the Dow from making its first move past 12,000 since June 2008.

But Egypt nonetheless has been a nagging concern.

“The market is relieved that the unrest in Egypt has

WASHINGTON — The trade deficit widened in December as rising oil prices pushed the value of imports up faster than U.S. exports.

The deficit increased 5.9 percent in December to $40.6 billion, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

U.S. exports of goods and services rose to $163 billion, a 1.8 percent gain and the best showing since July 2008.

Sales of industrial machinery, civilian aircraft and autos and auto parts led the export gain.

But imports rose even faster. A 2.6 percent gain pushed total U.S. imports to $203.5 billion, the highest level since October 2008. The i n c re a s e w a s l e d by a 16.8 percent rise in imported oil. The average price for a barrel of imported crude oil climbed to $79.78 in December, the highest point since crude imports averaged $91.73 per barrel in October 2008.

A widening deficit is bad for the U.S. economy. When imports outpace exports, more jobs go to overseas workers than to U.S. workers.

For all of 2010, the U.S. trade deficit rose to $497.8 billion, a 32.8 percent surge. It was the biggest annual percentage gain since 2000. In 2009, the deficit had fallen to the lowest point in eight years as demand for imports plunged.

The widening of the trade deficit cut one-half percentage point from overall economic growth last year.

Many private economists believe trade will not act as a drag in 2011 because they expect gains in exports to offset increased imports.

Over the next decade they are projecting significant strength from exports.

“American companies are very competitive right now, especially with a weaker dollar. They are poised to enjoy strong global growth in coming years,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

President Barack Obama, looking for ways to attack high unemployment, has set a goal of doubling the nation’s exports in five years,

a goal private analysts believe is achievable. He recently pledged to move forward this year to win approval of a free trade pact with South Korea.

New trade deals remain a sensitive political issue.

Labor unions charge that previous pacts failed to protect American workers from unfair foreign competition and have cost millions of American jobs. Much of the criticism is focused on China, which critics allege is manipulating its currency to gain unfair trade advantages

and erecting barriers to keep U.S. products out.

For 2010, the deficit with China rose by 20.4 percent to hit an all-time high of $273.1 billion, the largest imbalance the United States has ever recorded with a single country. The United States has had its biggest trade deficit with China since 2000 when that country surpassed Japan.

The expectation is that trade tensions between the two largest economies will only intensify in coming years.

Do children need to protect Dad from stepmom?

Dear Annie: My father married my stepmother 20 years ago. Three years ago, he suffered a stroke.

Though moderately disabled, he is still mentally sharp, didn’t lose his speech and is able to do most things for himself.

He is happy as a homebody, but my stepmother has made it increasingly clear that he will be going off to a care facility soon. Dad has reluctantly agreed. The problem is, the place she’s chosen is nowhere near any family members. She claims she will visit him often, but we know she is planning to do more traveling, and my father will be left completely isolated. She refuses to consider a closer alternative and shuts anyone down who mentions it. Dad is afraid to speak up.

We are all heartbroken. What can we do? — Need To Protect Dad Dear Need: Is this possibly a financial issue? Is the chosen facil-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

ity less expensive than one near you? Could you contribute to the cost? Otherwise, if your stepmother is deliberately isolating Dad, it could be considered elder abuse.

Explain the problem to Dad’s doctor and ask for assistance. You also can contact the local Adult Protective Services or get information through the Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116) and the National Center on Elder Abuse (ncea.aoa.gov).

Husband vs. niece Dear Annie: After 47 years of

marriage, we have a problem we can’t resolve.

My husband does not like my only niece, “Gina,” and doesn’t want her to visit our home. He expects me to tell her she’s not welcome. He believes Gina is a user, but she has never done anything to him or taken advantage of us.

Gina lives 300 miles away, and I love her and enjoy her rare visits.

On top of that, my 97-year-old mother lives with us, and I think Gina has the right to see her grandmother whether my husband likes it or not. He thinks I should forbid Gina to come to our home because our wedding vows included “forsaking all others.” It would break my niece’s heart if I told her she cannot see her grandmother. I won’t do it. Am I wrong to think he’s being unreasonable? — Frustrated and Depressed Dear Frustrated: “Forsaking all others” does not mean cutting off

your family. It means married people don’t have affairs. And although Hubby’s feelings should be taken into consideration, so should yours. He is being extremely unfair to you and your mother.

Decisions like this should not be unilateral. Everyone who lives in the house gets a vote. If your husband doesn’t want to see Gina, he can absent himself when she comes for her infrequent visits to Grandma.

Compassion for smokers Dear Annie: I thought your response to “Still Smoking” was very polite. I find it hard to be that nice since my stepfather was addicted to smoking and lost most of his tongue due to cancer. Dad used to take offense when we didn’t agree that it was his right to smoke and refused to join him in the smoking sections of restaurants. That story has changed now

Chronic ear drainage has many causes

By DR. PETER GOTT DEAR DR. GOTT: I have had an ear problem for approximately two years.

My ear built up with fluid. A tube was inserted. Now my ear continues to drain a clear fluid, like when your nose runs. When I wake up, it is full of liquid. After turning over, it drains out. I have been to four doctors without any help.

DEAR READER: Several things can cause chronic ear drainage, but without further details, I cannot begin to guess what the cause of yours may be.

You don’t mention if you have any other symptoms.

Why did your ear first build up with fluid? Did you have an ear infection? Do you have any loss of hearing?

Pain? Is the fluid crystal clear, or is there some cloudiness to it? Is there any blood present or an odor?

Which ear does it occur in, or does it affect both? Do you have headaches, dizziness or blurred vision? Do

you have any skin disorders or other medical problems?

Are you currently taking any medications — prescription, herbal or over-thecounter? Does it occur every day? Several times a day?

Does anything make it better or worse? All of these are important questions that need to be answered before a proper diagnosis can be made and treatment provided.

You also don’t mention what type of doctors you have been seeing. I assume that at least one was an earnose-and-throat specialist because a tube was inserted at the beginning of your symptoms.

Because I don’t have the answers to any of these, I can only offer some general information about potential causes. The most common is wax. Earwax, however, is not clear. It is typically yellow or brownish. Another common cause is ear infection. This can be chronic but is often associated with some degree of pain and yel-

low, pus-like drainage. Some may experience partial or total hearing loss in the affected ear.

Allergies can be another cause. This is often seen with other Tumors or cancer near the ear or within it can cause an ear discharge; however, this is rare and often is accompanied by ear pain and hearing loss.Finally, a CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leak can be a cause.

This, also, is rare and most often occurs because of trauma to the head.

I suggest you seek out the help of an ear-nose-andthroat specialist, perhaps one associated with a teaching hospital or university, for a complete examination and testing.

Be sure to provide a complete medical history to include medications, previous surgeries, illnesses, injuries and more.

Also, you will need to give a thorough description of the events preceding and during the beginning of your symptoms.

Taking omeprazole

18). You are graciousness personified. You take care of your friends with a compassionate and selfless attitude.

You are moving up on everyone’s “favorite person” list.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March

20). It’s easy for you to be all sweetness and smiles because you are inwardly trouble-free. However, when it’s time to protect the happiness of your loved ones, you will get tough fast.

DEAR DR. GOTT: This is in response to the writer diagnosed with GERD and a hiatal hernia who questioned taking omeprazole.

Several years ago, I suffered with the same symptoms and the same diagnosis.

Medication did not help me, and finally, after a CT scan, gallstones were discovered. I had laparoscopic surgery to remove my gallbladder and repair the hernia. I have not had any problems since.

DEAR READER: When gallstones form, they can cause a blockage that may cause bile to build up, leading to inflammation and/or pain. The pain can often be confused with that caused by stomach acid.

Surgery to repair a hiatal hernia is fairly straightforward. Essentially, a portion of the stomach is wrapped around the hiatus in an attempt to strengthen the muscle and prevent the backwash of acid into the esophagus.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

By HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not like it when someone disagrees with you, but in today’s case, you will be much better off because of it. You’ll build a better argument for next time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes it feels as though your personal stock is not quite as high as you’d like it to be. However, you can always raise your perceived value by adjusting your own thinking about what you have to offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whatever your beliefs are, you feel them with more passion today. So much so that someone who didn’t share your convictions may suddenly be converted.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be pulled in at least three different directions, mostly due to the fact that you have three people who adore you and want your attention. There’s a way to satisfy all of them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll be drawn in by the mysteries of your ancestors.

You can find the answers if you ask the right questions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You’ll find a worthy discussion partner — someone who can lead you into deep and compelling conversation. There are financial opportunities present today, as well, especially in the afternoon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You may realize that what you thought was no big deal is, in actuality, a very big deal. There are complexities involved that you didn’t understand before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are open-minded.

The more people you query the smarter you become.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). There is very little that can surprise you today.

Even when you are technically out of your element, you are still within reach of the sophistication and confidence of your own mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-

Jan. 19). Keep your eyes open because it’s a lucky day for conversation-worthy objects.

You’ll be drawn in by oddities, and you could even find a curio for your collection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

that he has to eat with a stomach tube. While we enjoy family dinners, he watches from the sofa. He has lost his career as a trial lawyer because he can no longer speak.

It is compassionate to explain that you value your health enough to move away from a smoker, and smokers should not take offense.

In fact, if they could meet my stepfather, they’d quit on the spot.

— Compassionate Non-Smoker Dear Compassionate: We wish your guarantee worked for everyone, but people drift into smoking and later find quitting nearly impossible. We appreciate your taking the time to write and know your letter will help others.

BRIDGE

By PHILLIP ALDER It is ideal if you can find a line of play that gives the defenders no chance. We had one example earlier this week; here is another.

How would you plan the play in six spades after West leads the club queen?

West used the Unusual No-trump, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits.

North jumped into Blackwood.

East, showing no regard for vulnerability, bid five clubs in the hope that his opponents had not agreed on how to show aces after interference.

However, this pair was prepared, using DOPI: double zero, pass one, first step two, and so on.

When South bid five diamonds, he was showing two aces.

South took the first trick with dummy’s club king and discarded a diamond from his hand.

He drew trumps ending in his hand, then led his second low diamond.

However, West did not err.

He won with his ace and returned a diamond.

Now declarer had to lose a heart to go down one.

It is possible to make the contract if you take the first trick on the board and dis-

card a heart, but it requires perfect card-reading (which, admittedly, is easier given West’s overcall).

However, there is a much better line, which just assumes that West has the diamond ace.

South should play low from the dummy at trick one and ruff in his hand.

He then draws trumps and leads a low diamond from his hand.

What can West do to defend?

If he wins with his ace, dummy’s heart loser disappears on South’s diamond queen.

A n d i f We s t d u c k s , declarer wins with dummy’s king and discards his other two diamonds on the top clubs to lose only one heart.
