Tax myths spread

By BERNARD CONDON AP Business Writer NEW YORK — As debate rages on extending tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, politicians are making misleading statements about who might be hurt or helped.

Before the midterm elections, President Barack Obama insisted that lower income-tax rates should be permanently extended only to those he called the “middle class.” People in the top two tax brackets would face higher rates.

Now, with Republicans triumphant, the White House is trying to hash out a compromise so rates don’t automatically revert to their higher, pre-2001 levels for everyone in the new year.

One possible deal: extending all the lower rates for a yet-undeterContinued on 9A

Clear skies for weekend

By LEANN ECKROTH Bismarck Tribune The wet, thick snow that blanketed much of the state was expected to clear early this morning after socking some of south central Nor th Dakota with more than 7 inches of snow.

A winter weather advisory was expected to be lifted by midnight for most of North Dakota, according to the National Weather Service in Bismarck.

Bismarck had 5.6 inches of snow as of 10 p.m., the Weather Service said.

T h e B i s m a rc k Po l i c e Department responded to 10 weather-related accidents by 3 p.m. Friday.

Steele to Jamestown received 7 to 10 inches.

Oakes reported more than 7 inches of snow as of 10 p.m.

W i l l i s t o n re p o r t e d 2.5 inches and Minot 4.3 inches, the Weather Service said. He said the system bringing precipitation from Nebraska should move out early this morning.

The playground slide at Roosevelt Elementary School in Mandan was a popular place for students out for afternoon recess who lined up to take a turn on Friday. “Whenever there is snow on it, they can slide really fast,” said playground supervisor Jean Hoerner. Bismarck and Mandan received more than 2 inches of fresh snow by mid-afternoon on Friday.

Bye bye, bake sales?

New child nutrition bill could limit school sales

By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON — Don’t touch my brownies!

A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama — and championed by the first lady — gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom.

Republicans, notably Sarah Palin, and public school organizations decry the bill as an unnecessary intrusion on a common practice often used to raise money.

“This could be a real train wreck for school districts,” Lucy Gettman of the National School Boards Association said Friday, a day after the House cleared the bill. “The federal government should not be in the business of regulating this kind of activity at the local level.”

The legislation, part of first lady Michelle Obama’s

“The most important rebuttal to all of these arguments is that schools can make money other ways — you don’t have to harm kids’ health.”

Margo Wootan, Center for Science in the Public Interest campaign to stem childhood obesity, provides more meals at school for needy kids, including dinner, and directs the Agriculture Department to write guidelines to make those meals healthier. The legislation would apply to all foods sold in schools during regular class hours, including in the cafeteria line, vending Continued on 9A

Antonio Rosas, left, and Levi Moch, both of Mandan, hold a tattered banner with the logo “Crankin’ for a Cure” they used to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society during their 61-day cross-country trip by bike this fall.

Mandan cyclists bike across U.S.

By BRIAN GEHRING Bismarck Tribune Levi Moch was 18 when his cousin, Ross Loibl, died of cancer. They were close — despite the 15-year difference in age.

“Since I could remember, he was always there for me,” the Mandan native said. “He taught me to ski, snowboard and took me to the mountains for the first time in my life.”

That was in 2003.

Moch wanted to do something as a tribute for his late cousin. So over the summer, Moch and his buddy, Antonio Rosas, also of Mandan, hatched a plan while working their jobs on a charter fishing boat in Alaska.

At 25, Moch has spent much of his post-high school life traveling around the world.

The charter fishing season

ended in September. Moch will head to Bridger Bowl, a popular ski area in Montana, for a winter job next week.

“I will work at the resort, but basically be a ski bum,” he said.

The idea Moch and Rosas came up with was to bicycle across America to raise money for cancer research.

Since they wouldn’t be able to hit the road until September, they decided to pedal the Southern Tier Route, a bicycle route roughly following Interstate 10, running 3,100 miles from San Diego to St. Augustine, Fla. Moch and Rosas said they began planning the trip in January and while raising money for cancer was the ultimate goal, getting sponsorships wasn’t a huge priority.

They managed to raise nearly $5,000, much of it

Canadian charged in crossbow killing of father TORONTO (AP) — A Canadian man was charged with first-degree murder Friday for fatally shooting his father in the back with a crossbow in a Toronto library as shocked mothers and children watched.

Zhou Fang, 24, appeared in court to face the murder charge a day after Si Cheng, 52, was killed in the library about an hour after a nearby school let out for the day. The judge ordered that Fang be held without bail.

Tony Vella said Cheng was pronounced dead at the scene and Fang was arrested later Thursday in a Toronto suburb.

“The use of a crossbow is definitely a unique case in Toronto,” said Vella. “You hear about guns, you hear about knives being used, but you definitely don’t hear about a crossbow.”

U.S. sends team, supplies to Israel WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is sending a team of expert firefighters and supplies to Israel to help the country contain the worst forest fire in its history, Obama administration officials said Friday.

President Barack Obama discussed the deadly fire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a telephone call from Air Force One after it departed from Afghanistan.

The blaze has killed at least 41 people and displaced thousands.

Nancy Lindborg, assistant administrator for democracy, conflict and humanitarian assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development, said a three-person U.S. Forest Service team experienced in aerial firefighting was en route to Israel and should arrive during the weekend.

THE INSIDE STORY

Disney town sees death for 2nd time in a week CELEBRATION, Fla. (AP) — The owner of a failed security business barricaded himself in his soon-to-be foreclosed home, shot at deputies and then killed himself in this well-groomed Central Florida town built by Disney.

The 14-hour standoff came just days after the town’s first-ever homicide, unsettling residents who moved to the community for its safety and small-town values. Authorities said the two deaths were not connected.

Craig Foushee, 52, barricaded himself in his home Thursday for more than 14 hours, according to an Osceola County Sheriff ’s Office report. He shot at deputies several times, but they never returned fire because they couldn’t get a clear shot.

WikiLeaks is still online

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER and PETER SVENSSON Associated Press LONDON — WikiLeaks became an Internet vagabond Friday, moving from one website to another as governments and hackers hounded the organization, trying to deprive it of a direct line to the public.

The organization that has embarrassed Washington and foreign leaders by releasing a cache of secret — and brutally frank — U.S. diplomatic cables found a new home after an American company stopped directing traffic to Wikileaks.org. Then French officials moved to oust it from its new site.

By late Friday, WikiLeaks was up in at least three new places.

“The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops,” tweeted John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the online free-speech group Electronic Frontier Foundation. His message was reposted by WikiLeaks to its 300,000-odd followers.

Legal pressure increased on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after Swedish authorities revised a warrant for his arrest in response to procedural questions from British officials.

British law enforcement authorities have refused to say if or when Assange would be arrested. His lawyers have said they believe they would be notified of any move to arrest him but had yet to be served with a warrant as of Friday afternoon.

The 39-year-old Australian is wanted on allegations of rape and other sex crimes that emerged after a trip to Sweden in August.

Assange said that his

RESPECTED MEDIA OUTLETS COLLABORATE WITH WIKILEAKS PARIS (AP) — The diplomatic records exposed on the WikiLeaks website this week reveal not only secret government communications, but also an extraordinary collaboration between some of the world’s most respected media outlets and the WikiLeaks organization.

Unlike earlier disclosures by WikiLeaks of tens of thousands of secret government military records, the group is releasing only a trickle of documents at a time from a trove of a quarter-million, and only after considering advice from five news organizations with which it chose to share all of the material.

“They are releasing the documents we selected,” Le Monde’s managing editor, Sylvie Kauffmann, said in an interview at the newspaper’s Paris headquarters.

WikiLeaks turned over all of the classified U.S. State Department cables it obtained to Le Monde, El Pais in Spain, The Guardian in Britain and Der Spiegel in Germany. The Guardian shared the material with The New York Times, and the five news organizations have been working together to plan the timing of their reports.

They also have been advising WikiLeaks on which documents to release publicly and what redactions to make to those documents, Kauffmann and others involved in the arrangement said. arrest would do nothing to halt the flow of American diplomatic cables being released by his group and newspapers in several countries, and he threatened to escalate the rush of information if he is taken into custody.

Hundreds of cables have been published by WikiLeaks and several newspapers in recent days. Assange said that all of the cables had already been distributed in a heavily encrypted form to tens of thousands of people.

If something happens to him, he suggested, the password needed to decrypt the data will be released and all the secrets will go out at once. “ H i s t o r y w i l l w i n ,” Assange said in a Web chat with readers of The Guardian newspaper, one of the media organizations helping to coordinate the documents’ publication.

“The world will be elevated to a better place. Will we survive? That depends on you.”

W i k i L e a k s d o e s n’ t depend entirely on its website for disseminating secret d o c u m e n t s ; i f i t w e re knocked off the Web, the nationless organization could continue to communicate directly with news organizations. But the site provides a direct line to the public, fulfilling the organization’s stated goal of maximum distribution for the secret documents it receives from mainly anonymous contributors.

In an online chat with readers of The Guardian, Assange promised to improve the availability of the website as soon as possible.

“Rest assured, I am deeply unhappy that the 3½ years of my work and others is not easily available or searchable by the general public,” Assange said.

EveryDNS — a company based in Manchester, N.H., that had been directing traffic to the website Wikileaks.org — stopped

doing so late Thursday after cyber attacks threatened the rest of its network. WikiLeaks responded by moving to a Swiss domain name, Wikileaks.ch — and calling on activists for support.

The loss of support from EveryDNS just a minor annoyance because the site can leap from one name to the next, said Fraser Howard, a researcher with In t e r n e t s e c u r i t y f i r m Sophos.

“The whack-a-mole analogy is fairly good,” he said.

The Swiss address directs traffic to servers in France, where Industry Minister Eric Besson called it unacceptable to host a site that “violates the secret of diplomatic relations and puts people protected by diplomatic secret in danger.”

The general manager of French web hosting company OVH, Octave Klaba, confirmed that it had been hosting WikiLeaks since early Thursday, after a client asked for a “dedicated server with ... protection against attacks.”

He said the company has asked a judge to decide on the legality of hosting the site on French soil.

“It is not up to the political realm or to OVH to request or decide the closure of a site, but rather up to the courts,” Klaba said.

WikiLeaks has been brought down numerous times this week by what appear to be denial-of-service attacks. In a typical such attack, remote computers commandeered by rogue programs bombard a website with so many data packets that it becomes overwhelmed and unavailable to visitors. Pinpointing the culprits is difficult. The attacks are relatively easy to mount and can be performed by amateurs.

Top generals buck W.H. on military gay ban

By ANNE GEARAN AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON — Bucking the Pentagon’s top leaders, the chiefs of the Army and Marines urged Congress on Friday not to allow openly gay people to serve in the military, at least not while troops are at war in Afghanistan.

The generals publicly rebutted their own bosses and the White House, arguing that it is too risky to change the policy now. That gave political ammunition to congressional Republicans trying to retain the ban known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

“It’s important that we’re clear about the military risks,” said Gen. George Casey, the Army’s top officer. “Repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ would be a major cultural and policy change in the middle of a war.”

President Barack Obama has promised to jettison a policy he says is discriminatory, and asked Congress to repeal the 17-year-old law this year. Chances of that were slim to begin with, and they sank lower after Friday’s blunt assessment that lifting the ban would tear the close bonds of the foxhole. Democrats have promised a vote this month.

Both Casey and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos

undercut Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ claim that the change is not too dangerous. Their views are the most closely watched because the Army and Marines are doing most of the fighting in Afghanistan, and did the same in Iraq.

The generals acknowledged that openly gay service was probably inevitable and they played down suggestions that recruiting would drop off or large numbers of soldiers would resign when it happens.

But they war ned of social upheaval among the tight units that live and fight side by side for months at a time on the front lines.

Lifting the ban will not be as easy or

safe as a Pentagon study released this week suggests, the generals said.

“My suspicions are that the law will be repealed” eventually, Amos told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “All I’m asking is the opportunity to do that at a time and choosing when my Marines are not singularly tightly focused on what they’re doing in a very deadly environment.”

The top Air Force officer also opposed repeal now, recommending delay at least until 2012. Only the Navy’s top officer signed up to Gates’ assessment that the ban can be lifted without undue risk.

Rearview cameras in cars going up WASHINGTON (AP) — Rearview cameras could become more common in future cars and trucks under rules proposed by the government Friday to address concerns about drivers unintentionally backing over children.

The new requirements from the Transportation Department are intended to improve rear visibility in cars by the 2014 model year. Most carmakers would comply by installing rear-mounted video cameras and in-vehicle displays. The government estimated that video systems would add about $200 to the cost of each new vehicle.

Congress in 2008 set in motion the safety upgrades in response to dozens of accidents in which children were backed over. At issue in particular were blind zones in large sport utility vehicles and pickups.

“There is no more tragic accident than for a parent or caregiver to back out of a garage or driveway and kill or injure an undetected child playing behind the vehicle,” Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. He said the changes would “help drivers see into those blind zones directly behind vehicles to make sure it is safe to back up.”

Reid pushes online gambling bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pushing behind the scenes for lame-duck legislation that would allow poker games over the Internet but restrict initial licenses to casinos and racetrack operators that have been in business at least five years.

Some of the biggest casino operators in Reid’s home state of Nevada are eager to get a piece of the online gambling industry, which generates an estimated $5 billion a year for offshore operators.

A congressional aide familiar with the issue said Reid aides were circulating the draft legislation, and a copy of it was obtained by The Associated Press. The aide was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and did so only on condition of anonymity.

Four years ago, Congress effectively banned online gambling, passing legislation that prohibits banks and credit card companies from making payments to gambling websites.

Supporters of online poker face less opposition with Democrats in charge of both chambers for another month. The House Financial Services Committee this year approved a bill that established a regulatory structure for online gambling.

Immigrant students give blood BOSTON (AP) — Immigrant advocates have staged sitins, held rallies and gone on hunger strikes in recent days in an 11th hour bid to get Congress to pass legislation that would give illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship by going to college or serving in the military.

As Congress gets closer to a possible vote on the bill, called the DREAM Act, college-age illegal immigrants are literally shedding blood for the cause.

On Friday, a group of illegal immigrant college students, or “DREAMers” as they called themselves, donated blood at Harvard University and other colleges. The students said they wanted to show the rest of the country that they are ready to perform community service and are good citizens, even if they don’t have U.S. citizenship.

“As someone who is undocumented ... I’m not scared about giving blood,” said Megha Sharma, 22, whose family came to Massachusetts from India seven years ago and who donated blood Friday for the first time. “I’m scared about the vote in Congress.”

Morrison pardon papers: Wild night TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — It’s a strange sheaf of documents for Florida’s governor to have. The thick notebook describes how Jim Morrison discussed sex with a lamb he held on stage, ordered fans to “love your neighbor ’til it hurts” and later, at trial, defended his boozy singing to a prosecutor.

But did the lead singer of The Doors show his genitals to the crowd at the 1969 concert in Miami, a charge on which he was famously convicted? Gov. Charlie Crist wants to posthumously pardon him of indecent exposure and profanity convictions, and the governor’s last chance is coming up at a Clemency Board meeting next Thursday. Crist leaves office in January.

To prepare for the meeting, Crist asked his staff to find whatever information they could about the Miami concert, and the governor received a three-ring binder with dozens of pages. The documents paint a vivid picture of a wild night.

Obama’s dilemma: Spending

By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WASHINGTON — In less than three hours Friday, the extraordinary forces tugging at Barack Obama’s presidency — and the Republicans who will soon take more control of Congress — came into sharp relief: a sky-high jobless rate, an out-of-control deficit and pressure to keep taxes down.

Together, they illustrate the difficulty of balancing immediate, costly fixes for the economy with the longterm austerity needed to control the nation’s debt.

What’s more, Obama must show that his handling of those challenges has been deft enough to earn him four more years in the White House.

To be sure, the competing demands create a conundrum for all of Washington — Democrats and Republicans alike. But it is the president who has claimed the mantle of honest broker and the price would ultimately be paid by him.

Between 8:30 and 11 a.m.

Friday, the Labor Department announced first that November’s unemployment

rate climbed to 9.8 percent, then a majority of the president’s deficit commission backed tough penny-pinching measures to slash $4 trillion from the budget over the next 10 years. In between, Democrats and Republicans continued to struggle for a compromise that would extend Bush-era tax cuts.

In one bright spot, the Obama administration sealed a trade agreement Friday with South Korea, further opening the 12thlargest economy as a market to American goods. The final deal, which eluded the president during his recent trip to Asia, is the largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico negotiated under President Bill Clinton.

The competing obligations were evident even while the president attended to yet another demand — a deadlier war in Afghanistan. As news of the unemployment rate hit, Obama was in the air on a secret visit to the troops, one year after expanding the U.S. military presence there.

“Jobs and growth are our

most urgent need,” Obama said, in thanking the deficit commission for its work.

“But if we want an America that can compete for the jobs of tomorrow, we simply cannot allow our nation to be dragged down by our debt. We must correct our fiscal course.”

The answers to both may seem contradictory. The long-accepted response to a recession, advocated by early 20th century British economist John Keynes, is for government to prime the economy with short-term spending that adds to the deficit. Ideally, an economic recovery then generates revenue that can offset those initial expenses.

So even as the administration welcomed the deficit commission’s work, the White House made a case that if taxes were going to remain low for even the highest-earning taxpayers, then spending to help middle income taxpayers and unemployed workers needed to be extended as well.

Obama and congressional leaders appointed a negotiating team to work out a compromise on the tax cuts.

Discussions center on

whether to extend them for one to three years and whether to include unemployment assistance. Officials said the deal could also include raising the debt limit, drawing yet more attention to the nation’s borrowing.

Administration officials on Thursday presented a menu of jobless benefits and tax credits totaling $150 billion for one year. Republicans insist that any spending be offset by reductions elsewhere, a step the White House opposes.

“Republicans arguing that we should immediately pay for emergency measures like unemployment insurance but we do not need to pay for a high income tax extension does not make any policy sense,” said Austan Goolsbee, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

But Republicans are rejecting that response.

“To restore American exceptionalism, we must end all this Keynesian spending and get back to the practice of free market economics,” Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, a leading House Republican, said this week.

Deficit-cutting plan fails to advance

By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s deficit commission failed Friday to forge consensus on what to do about an increasingly urgent debt problem, but the breakdown of its vote lays out the road map for how Congress might address it next year.

The 11-7 vote in favor of the panel co-chairmen’s recommendations for a painful mix of spending cuts and tax increases foretells a bitterly partisan and possibly unproductive debate in the House.

If there’s a deal to be had, it will likely be reached in the Senate. Fourteen votes were needed to officially send the plan to Congress now for quick action on it.

Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., was one of the 11 votes for the plan.

About $4 trillion would be slashed from the budget over the coming decade — threefourths of it through spending cuts and the other fourth from higher taxes. Deficits over the period are estimated in the $10 trillion range and are expected to require the

Associated Press

The Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform meets on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday. federal government to borrow up to 33 cents of every dollar it spends.

Five of six senators on the panel — two Democratic allies of Obama and three conservative Republicans — voted for the plan’s wrenching measures, including raising the Social Security retirement age, cutting future benefit increases and rolling back popular tax breaks like the mortgage interest deduction.

But only one of the halfdozen House members on the commission endorsed the proposal — Democrat John Spratt Jr. of South Car-

olina. And he doesn’t have to face voters in his district again; they decided last month to retire him from Congress.

No other House members were willing to swing behind the painstakingly assembled proposal by Democrat Erskine Bowles, a White House chief of staff in Bill Clinton’s presidency, and former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming. Republicans Reps. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Dave Camp of Michigan and Jeb Hensarling of Texas recoiled from tax increases and said it didn’t do

enough to rein in skyrocketing health care costs. Not one of them even attended the panel’s final meeting.

House Democrats Xavier Becerra of California and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, meanwhile, pressed for bigger tax increases and less dramatic cuts to spending.

“The Bowles-Simpson plan further erodes the middle class and threatens lowincome Americans,” said Schakowsky.

The ink wasn’t even dry on an earlier version of the proposal before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called it “simply unacceptable,” a move that Republicans said undercut the panel’s work.

The plan would nearly freeze the Pentagon’s budget and cut spending outright by most domestic agencies. It would nearly double the federal tax on gasoline with a 15 cents-per-gallon increase.

Income tax rates would fall, but only by eliminating or scaling back dozens of popular tax breaks, including the child tax credit, mortgage interest deduction and d e d u c t i o n c l a i m e d by employers who provide health insurance.

Afghanistan — In a rousing holiday-season visit, President Barack Obama on Friday told cheering U.S. troops in Afghanistan they’re succeeding in their vital mission fighting terrorism. But after h e f l e w i n s e c re c y f o r 14 hours to get here, foul weather kept him from nearby Kabul and a meeting to address frayed relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai Obama’s surprise visit to the war zone, his second as president, came 10 days before he is to address the nation about a new review of U.S. strategy to defeat the Taliban and strengthen the Afghan gover nment so American troops can begin leaving next year.

The trip also came at a particularly awkward moment in already strained U.S. relations with Afghanistan because of new and embarrassing leaked cables alleging widespread fraud and underscoring deep American concerns about Karzai.

There was no mention of that as the president spoke to more than 3,500 service members packed into a huge airplane hangar. After his remarks, he spent more than 10 minutes shaking hands, going around the hangar three times as they grabbed his hand and held cameras and cell phones high to take photos.

Drug gang made teen behead 4 CUERNAVACA, Mexico (AP) — In cargo pants and a T-shirt, the skinny, American-born 14-year-old looked like he should be in middle school. Instead, he was surrounded by three armed Mexican soldiers in ski masks and camouflage as he told reporters that he helped a Mexican drug gang behead four people.

Mexican officials say they arrested the youth known as “El Ponchis” late Thursday at an airport south of Mexico City with a 19-year-old sister who is accused of helping him dump the bodies. Authorities said he was caught with two cell phones that held photographs of tortured victims.

Many youths have been used by drug cartels in their bloody battles against the government and each other, but the story of El Ponchis may be the most shocking. A YouTube video that emerged a month ago sparked talk of a child hit man — said by some to be as young as 12.

“I participated in four executions, but I did it drugged and under threat that if I didn’t, they would kill me,” the boy said calmly when he was handed over to the federal prosecutor Friday morning, showing no remorse.

Hackers allegedly steal pop music BERLIN (AP) — Two young German computer hackers allegedly stole pop songs from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Ke$ha and Kelly Clarkson, selling them online and forcing the advanced release of several singles, officials said Friday.

An 18-year-old high school student from Duisburg and his alleged accomplice, a 23-year-old unemployed man from Wesel, are under investigation for using a Trojan Horse to hack into the artists’ computers for about 12 months before being discovered, Duisburg chief prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp told The Associated Press.

During that time, they earned more than $13,240 in illegal sales of tracks acquired from the stars’ computers. Haferkamp would not comment on specific songs that were stolen.

Both men live with their parents in the western German cities, which are about 20 miles apart.

Reached at his home the 18-year-old, an amateur disc jockey known as “DJ Stolen” whose name has been reported in the German media as Deniz A., told the AP he had been out of touch with his alleged accomplice, Christian M.

Scavengers speak out to U.N.

By CHARLES J. HANLEY AP Special Correspondent CANCUN, Mexico — Clambering over garbage heaps, rummaging through trash cans, Supriya Bhadakwad didn’t set out to save the planet when she was 13 years old, just her family.

But two decades later, in the global arena of climate negotiations, the sari-clad Indian woman and other scavengers are making their voices heard, tilting with big corporate players in a tug-ofwar over the world’s dumpsites.

The Goliaths they’re taking on are companies building incinerators worldwide to burn waste from landfills, material generations of “waste pickers” have survived on. Many of the projects are supported by private funds raised under the U.N. climate treaty.

Bhadakwad had come 11,000 miles to the annual U.N. climate conference in Cancun on behalf of 6,000 organized landfill recyclers in her native Pune, India, to demand access to the waste now trucked instead to a new incinerator. Without their dump, they’re trying to

Associated Press

A waste picker searches for recyclable materials at the main landfill in Managua, Nicaragua, on Thursday. survive by going door to door for trash in a community 12 miles away.

“We have a right to the waste that can be recycled,” Bhadakwad told a reporter.

“We want to continue making a living without interference from such big private companies.”

Their environmentalist allies say some 15 million people worldwide depend on scavenging for a meager livelihood. And these advocates and poor recyclers have an environmental

argument to make.

Incinerators not only produce toxic pollution, but “by burning waste they increase carbon dioxide emissions,” the biggest global warming gas, said Mariel Vilella, a campaigner with the international group GAIA, the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives.

By collecting and recycling plastic bags and bottles, glass, aluminum and other material, those 50 million scavengers “represent a huge opportunity to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions,” Vilella told reporters, since what’s destroyed must be replaced by items newly manufactured and transported in a process using up natural resources and producing more greenhouse gases.

In a report issued here Friday, the U.N. Environment Program saluted the waste pickers, saying, “The role of the informal recycling sector should not be underestimated.” A chart indicated the scavengers of New Delhi, for example, prevent several times more emissions than a large waste-to-energy plant in the Indian capital.

“For decades we’ve been part of the solution for solid waste management on this planet,” said Exequiel Estay, head of a Chilean scavenger association. “We demand that our jobs become sustainable.”

They’re also demanding that organized waste pickers and civic groups around the world have access to a global fund within the U.N. climate treaty structure to support local recycling programs.

Such a fund is one item under discussion at the Cancun conference.

Chicago Cubs great Ron Santo dies at 70

By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer

Santo was widely regarded as one of the best players never to gain induction into the Hall of Fame. The quiet sadness with which he met the news year after year that he hadn’t been inducted helped cement his relationship with the fans. “What a great loss for the Cubs and Cubs fan everywhere. Ron was such a wonderful person and friend. It is so unfortunate that he never became a Hall of Famer, as he should have long ago,� Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman said.

D o n Ke s s i n g e r, w h o played shortstop with the Cubs from 1964-75 and perhaps saw more of Santo’s play at third base than anyone, said what he remembers most is how hard his teammate played every single day. He said Santo deserved to be in the Hall of Fame, and cannot understand why he was never voted in. “It would have meant so much to Ron Santo to be elected,� he said.

The Cubs’ new owner, Tom Ricketts, praised Santo for his loyalty, courage and sense of humor. Commissioner Bud Selig called Santo a “magnificent, consistent ballplayer� — and a friend. “Ron’s playing and broadcasting careers shared a common thread: In both capacities, he was a staple of the Cubs’ experience every single day,� Selig said in a statement.

Santo never got to see his beloved Cubs win a World Series, something they haven’t done since 1908, and their last appearance came in 1945, when Santo was 5.

Yet he once said his associa-

Restaurant owner Kaufman dies NEW YORK (AP) — Elaine Kaufman was a 34-year-old waitress and restaurant manager from the Bronx when she opened her restaurant in 1963, serving unremarkable Italian food in a prosaic space on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. With the help of a public relations pal, a fondness for interesting people and a weakness for struggling writers, she turned the humble eatery into a celebri-

ty hangout that attracted the biggest names in film and literature and left New Yorkers wondering: How do I get a table at Elaine’s?

Woody Allen opened his movie “Manhattan� with a scene set there. Billy Joel immortalized it in the song “Big Shot.� Stuart Woods, author of dozens of popular mysteries, begins almost every book with his hero having dinner at Elaine’s.

Kaufman died Friday at age 81 in Manhattan. As recently as a month ago, she had been working seven days a week until 2 a.m., a schedule she had kept for decades, hosting famous faces for dinner, drinks and poker games.

Although she counted many celebrities as friends, Kaufman had a soft spot for writers who were trying to make it big and often let them eat for free.

(This letter refers to Clay Jenkinson’s column of Nov. 21, which responded to Rachel Dry’s retracing of John Steinbech’s “Travels with Charley” that appeared in the Washington Post. — Editor) I feel your pain (Clay Jenkinson’s column, Nov. 21_ about Ms. Dry’s phony road trip with her mother (I met them both in Chicago) and East Coast elites slumming through North Dakota in rented cars.

Dry and her mom stayed at the Ambassador East in Chicago, where John Steinbeck (as he described) stayed with his wife on his Charley trip in the fall of 1960; I met them while I was doing my recently completed 11,276-mile retracing of Steinbeck’s “Charley” trip.

My road blog is “Travels Without Charley.” Search for Beach and Alice to find what I wrote when I blew through North Dakota in 36 hours, as Steinbeck and Charley actually did.

I also agree that to do Steinbeck right, you have to circumnavigate the whole country to get the feel for what he did — replicating his trip is impossible 50 years later just as it would have been 10 minutes later.

I’d be careful invoking the spirit of Steinbeck, however, and using him or his trip to bash pseudo-Steinbeckians for their silly imitations.

His trip, as it is portrayed in “Charley” — and as iconized by the culture — is somewhere between a fiction and a fraud.

A look at a North Dakota decade The world, for North Dakota, was still round in 2000. It’s hadn’t yet flattened out, in Thomas L. Friedman terms. The state hadn’t yet gone global.

The observation comes up because of a recent Time Magazine issue pegged to a review of the first decade of this new century, the most remarkable highlights being that 10 years ago, there was no Facebook and no iPod. Technological change has compressed, becoming dense in relation to time.

Homes did not have flat screen televisions 10 years ago. Cars did not speak. And maps were still maps, typically folded in long rectangles or rolled up.

Phones did not take pictures.

Now, nearly every community in North Dakota has high-speed Internet and wireless. Standing on a butte in the middle of the North Dakota Badlands, a person can now access the Internet with a BlackBerry, Droid, iPhone or other hand-held device.

The Time piece gave me cause to think about the changes that have occurred in this state in the new century.

A simple lesson from Austria

By DONALD FEIMER Bismarck Your Sept. 21 paper had a headline that read: “Is the recession really over?” There is a simple way to tell when a recession will end. Watch for when government quits its attempts to make up for supposed flaws in the free market.

In U.S. history, we have had recovery in less than a year when government didn’t intervene with tax breaks, interest changes and road projects or pork.

What is the difference between pork and stimulus?

Both misdirect resources that would otherwise be applied to produce things that are wanted and needed.

They have the same effect.

If pork and stimulus had a positive effect, and one

considers how much government has spent, we should be prosperous beyond bound. Actually, we have porked and stimulated ourselves into debt that threatens our form of government and position as a world power.

The recipe to get an economy active is well described by what gets called Austrian economics. The promoters came from Austria, thus the name. The spark plug of this group was Ludwig von Mises. He explains its mechanics and theory. Our country’s founders would have gotten along fine with him; Jefferson commented: “He governs best who governs least.”

Consider the huge amount of government we now have active. Are we governing worst by governing the most?

Austrian economics is a collection of simple ideas, high school level or less. It is catching on in a few places.

May its influence grow

clean coal strategies.

Water has been an issue throughout the decade. The Southwest Water Authority has brought quality drinking water to small towns, farms and ranches from Lake Sakakawea across southwestern North Dakota.

Coffee became drinkable west of the river.

On the other hand, Devils Lake spread itself across thousands of acres of North Dakota farmland. The Red River Valley repeatedly sandbagged itself with each spring rise. The latter part of the decade has been wet — good for most crops and bad for people living on the banks of the state’s rivers and streams.

The world got a closer look at North Dakota as attention was turned to the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition 2004-06. It was cause for the state to build a solid infrastructure for its tourism industry — campgrounds, marinas, attractions, interpretation, programming.

In 1999, officials elected to statewide political office in North Dakota were split, about half Republicans and half Democrats. Today, there’s only one Democratic-NPL officeholder left — Wayne Sanstead, and he serves in the nonpartisan office of superintendent of public instruction.

enough in our time to restore our once-great country.

In addition to a stop of pork-stimulus, we should put an end to the Department of Education (started in the Reagan era but never accomplished), and the EPA (California has demonstrated that this area is best left to the individual states); also the Department of Energy (we are importing way more oil now than when this agency became active).

Tax myths spread mined period of time, perhaps two or three years.

Time is running out, as is patience. In a purely symbolic vote, House Democrats on Thursday passed a bill extending lower rates for everyone but those in the top brackets. House Republican leader John Boehner said the vote ran counter to efforts to forge a deal, dubbing it “chicken crap” political maneuvering.

Here are a few myths, half-truths and short-hand distortions that have marred the debate: ■ Under the Obama plan, taxes will increase for families making more than $250,000.

Wrong. Actually, a family could make a lot more and still not face higher taxes.

Obama wants to raise the top two brackets from 33 percent to 36 percent and from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The first of the two — 36 percent — is widely assumed to kick in at $250,000. Obama says that himself.

But that’s not right. The higher rate would apply to families with $232,000 or more of taxable income, or what’s left after personal exemptions and deductions have been subtracted from income. Deductions can be s i z a b l e, e s p e c i a l l y f o r wealthy people. Think state and local taxes, mortgage interest and charitable contributions. The result is that a family making $300,000 or even more could have taxable income of less than $232,000.

“A lot of people making more than $250,000 won’t be

Associated Press

From left, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., take part in a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday to discuss proposals to continue the Bush era tax cuts. paying higher taxes,” says Clint Stretch, a managing principal of Deloitte Tax. So where does the $250,000 come from? That’s a number for “adjusted gross income,” which is total income minus a few things like 401(k) contributions and alimony payments.

A family that had adjusted gross income of $250,000 and took two personal exemptions, plus a standard deduction instead of itemizing, would have taxable income of $232,000.

So $250,000 is distorting.

It refers to adjusted gross income, not total income.

And most people in that income range itemize their

deductions.

The key number for families is taxable income of $232,000; for individuals, it’s taxable income of $191,000.

Only 2 percent of U.S. households would face the 36 percent tax rate, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

■Tax hikes would prevent small businesses from hiring.

Well, maybe. But the numbers cited as proof are flimsy at best.

Critics say Obama’s plan to raise taxes on the highest earners would hobble the businesses that generate most of the nation’s new

jobs. Yet fewer than 3 percent of small businesses produce enough income to face the higher rates, according to the Tax Policy Center.

Some Republicans note that this tiny slice accounts for half of total small-business income. So the damage to the economy would be more than you’d think, they say. But many of these businesses aren’t what most people would consider small anyway.

The IRS doesn’t have a category of tax filers called “small business.” Analysts who study taxes use the next best thing, which isn’t very good at all: business owners who use their personal 1040

to file taxes instead of a corporate return.

For example, some hedge funds and law firms pay their taxes through the personal returns of their individual partners. While these are lumped in as “small businesses” and would pay higher taxes, they are far different from the retail stores and small manufacturers that most people associate with the term and which would not pay higher taxes.

■ Keeping Bush’s tax cuts for the top earners would swell U.S. debt by $700 billion, unconscionable in an age of budget-busting outlays.

Somewhat misleading.

The lower tax receipts would accumulate over 10 years — not one year. On average, that means $70 billion less for the government each year, or about 1/30th of all federal receipts.

■ Bush tax cuts for millionaires average more than $100,000 a year and should be eliminated.

Misleading, again. The term millionaire can include people making tens of millions or even billions. Their tax breaks are much larger.

An average doesn’t capture the benefit for most millionaires. According to Deloitte Tax, a typical family making exactly $1 million pays about $50,000 less each year in federal income taxes than it would if the Obama plan were rejected and the tax cuts expired.

■ The rich would pay 36 percent or more of their income in taxes under Obama’s plan.

Wrong. A rich family

Continued from 1A would pay 36 percent — and 39.6 percent — only on taxable income above $232,000.

The family would continue to benefit from the other four brackets established earlier this decade — 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent and 28 percent — on taxable income below $232,000.

A family with taxable income of $350,000 would pay a higher rate on $118,000. The family would pay $42,480 in taxes on that amount, or $3,540 more than it pays now.

Of course, for the really rich, the two higher brackets would take a bigger bite. A family making $2 million would pay about $100,000 more in taxes under Obama’s plan, according to the Tax Policy Center.

■ The tax debate is all about income tax rates.

Wrong. For all the attention given to higher taxes on earned income if current rates expire, the big hit to some families will come from taxes on capital gains and dividends. The government now takes 15 percent of both. If the Bush cuts aren’t renewed, the tax on long-term gains would rise to 20 percent.

And the rate on dividends would shift to your income tax rate, or a maximum 39.6 percent. Under Obama’s plan, the tax on dividends would rise to 20 percent for everyone.

If Congress doesn’t act to stop taxes from reverting to their pre-2001 levels, new limits would be placed on deductions and exemptions, too. And a $1,000 child credit would be halved.

Crankin’ for a cancer cure the road and when she asked if she could ride along, they told her about their tour which they dubbed, “Crankin’ for a Cure.”

“It was always personal to me,” Moch said. “She told us she had just lost her grandmother to cancer — then it became personal to her.”

Rosas said that sort of became the overriding theme of the trip.

“People were pretty amazing the whole way,” he said.

“People would give us $20 here and there and say, ‘Here’s for the cause.’”

A lot of nights the two spent in a tent at rest areas or by the side of the road, but often they were the recipients of the kindness of others they met along the way.

One such instance came in Sanderson, Texas. They stopped at a gas station for water and were planning on riding another 40 miles when they met the owner.

When she learned about Crankin’ for a Cure, she offered better accommodations than the sleeping bags they had become accustomed to.

“She said, ‘Why don’t you just come out and stay at my

bunkhouse?’” Moch said.

With no real timetable, they took her up on the offer and spent a couple of days there, attending a local 6-man high school football game and shooting the next day at a neighbor’s ranch. “ We w e r e c o m p l e t e strangers who just happened to walk into her gas station,” Moch said.

Rosas said other than a couple of incidents, it was like that for the 61 days they were on the road. He said they ended up on the starting line at a local drag strip one night after being introduced to the crowd by the public address announcer.

Then there was the bar and grill owner who invited them in for steaks and beers and live music; the list goes on, Rosas said.

“Everybody had a story about how cancer affected their lives,” Rosas said. “That’s what I will remember ... the stories and the hospitality.”

There were times though, when Moch said he questioned his sanity on the trip — 114 degrees, 90 percent humidity through the desert, sleeping on top of rest area shelters to get away from red

Louisiana, helped as well, they said.

During the trip, e-mail alerts would pop up on their phones letting them know folks had donated to Crankin’ for a Cure.

“Most of the donations were from people we didn’t know,” Rosas said.

Continued from 1A Moch and Rosas pulled into St. Augustine on Nov. 22 tired, hungry and in need of a shower.

As they posed for a photo at the sign at the city limits, marking the end of the saga, it started to rain, a downpour actually, Moch said.

Other than the desert heat, which Moch said it took him an IV and a few days to recover from, weather hadn’t been a factor.

Maybe it was a sign of another kind, Rosas said.

Maybe so.

For Moch and Rosas, they are hoping their ride and story will be passed along enough to keep the fight against cancer on the minds of people.

What it did for them, they said, will most certainly stay with them. It renewed their faith in humanity and in the generosity of people: something, they say, will always stay with them.

narrow-minded,” said Laura Shortway, whose 17-year-old daughter, Mallory, is a drummer in the band. “Having bake sales keeps these fundraisers communitybased, which is very appealing to the person making the purchase.”

Several school districts and state education departments already have policies suggesting or enforcing limits on bake sales, both for nutritional reasons and to keep the events from competing for dollars against school cafeterias. In Connecticut, for instance, about 70 percent of the state’s school districts have signed on to the state education department’s voluntary guidelines encouraging healthy foods in place of

high-sugar, high-fat options.

Under those rules, bake sales cannot be held on school grounds unless the items meet nutrition standards that specifically limit portion sizes, fat content, sodium and sugars. That two-ounce, low-fat granola bar? Probably OK, depending on what’s in it. But grandma’s homemade oversized brownie with cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips inside? Probably not.

One loophole in Connecticut: The nutritional standards apply if the food is being sold at a bake sale, but not if it’s being given away free, such as by a parent for a child’s birthday.

“If a mom wants to send in cupcakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, that would not

In New York City, a rule enacted in 2009 allows bake sales only once a month, and they must comply with nutritional standards and be part of a parent group fundraiser.

Wootan says she hopes the rules will prompt schools to try different options for fundraising.

“Schools are so used to doing the same fundraisers every year that they need a strong nudge to do something new,” she says. “The most important rebuttal to all of these arguments is that schools can make money other ways — you don’t have to harm kids’ health.”

It wouldn’t apply to afterhours events or concession stands at sports events.

Public health groups pushed for the language on fundraisers, which encourages the secretary of Agriculture to allow them only if they are infrequent. The language is broad enough that a president’s administration could even ban bake sales, but Secretary Tom Vilsack signaled in a letter to House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., this week that he does not intend to do that. The USDA has a year to write rules that decide how frequent is infrequent.

Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest says the bill is

aimed at curbing daily or weekly bake sales or pizza fundraisers that become a re g u l a r p a r t o f k i d s’ lunchtime routines. She says selling junk food can easily be substituted with nonfood fundraisers.

“These fundraisers are happening all the time,” Wootan said. “It’s a pizza sale one day, doughnuts the next... It’s endless. This is really about supporting parental choice. Most parents don’t want their kids to use their lunch money to buy junk food. They expect they’ll use their lunch money to buy a balanced school meal.”

Not all see it that way.

Palin mocked the efforts last month by bringing a plate of cookies to a school

speech in Pennsylvania. Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, the senior Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, said the federal government “has really gone too far” when it is deciding when to hold bake sales.

Some parents say they are perplexed by what the new rules might allow.

In Seminole, Fla., the Seminole High Warhawks Marching Band’s booster club held a bake sale to help send the band’s 173 members to this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.

Children rescued from smugglers PHOENIX (AP) — Ten children have been rescued from human smugglers who threatened to rape and kill some of them if their parents didn’t pay more money for their entry into the U.S., authorities said Friday.

The children, from 2 to 17 years old, were smuggled from Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were being held against their will at a drop house in Phoenix, authorities said.

Only one of them was being brought into the country with a parent.

The smugglers threatened to rape and kill three El Salvadoran sisters ages 12, 14 and 16 if their mother didn’t pay them $10,000, Arizona Department of Public Safety Capt. Fred Zumbo said.

The girls’ mother, who is living legally in the U.S. in the San Francisco area, called the FBI for help, and Phoenix police and other agencies took over from there. Police found the home where the girls were being held, and found them and the other children when a SWAT team raided it Thursday night.

None of the children appeared to have been harmed, and they had been fed and given water, Zumbo said.

“They seemed in fairly good condition considering what they went through,” said Zumbo, who leads DPS’ Illegal Immigration Prevention & Apprehension Co-op Team. “Who knows what would have happened if we hadn’t rescued them, especially if the mother couldn’t come up with the money.”

Bus of students on ski trip crashes PUTNEY, Vt. (AP) — Police now say 17 people were injured when a tour bus carrying University of Massachusetts students on a ski trip to Quebec crashed on a Vermont highway.

The bus slid down an Interstate 91 embankment in Putney, Vt., and came to rest on its side Friday afternoon.

The bus that crashed was one of three on a private ski tour. Not all passengers were students.

Police initially said 30 people were injured, three of them critically.

But police later reduced the number of injured to 17, and a spokeswoman cited the chaotic scene as a reason for the discrepancy.

Hospitals say 16 had minor injuries, and one victim — a non-student — was airlifted to a trauma center in New Hampshire.

State police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro says it’s not immediately clear how the crash occurred.

2 more rare red foxes confirmed RENO, Nev. (AP) — Federal wildlife biologists have confirmed sightings of two more Sierra Nevada red foxes that were once thought to be extinct.

The scientists believe the foxes are related to one that was photographed in August near Yosemite National Park. That female found in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest marked the first sighting of the species in two decades.

More importantly, scientists say DNA samples show enough diversity in the animals to suggest a “fairly strong population” of the foxes may secretly be doing quite well in the rugged mountains about 90 miles south of Reno.

Forest Service officials said Friday that the two additional red foxes — one male and one female — were photographed in September within about four miles of the original sighting.

Officials scrutinize warehouses

By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Workers at warehouses just feet from the U.S-Mexico border would come and go at odd hours. Few, if any, knew what their trucks carried.

Few knew, too, that the buildings sat atop the openings for two of the longest, most sophisticated tunnels ever built to smuggle drugs from Mexico to the United States.

“Look over there across the street, I have no idea what they do,” said neighbor Mario Rodriguez, 46, pointing to a large warehouse with no trucks outside.

Now, U.S. authorities are stepping up scrutiny of warehouses near San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing after the twin discoveries last month resulted in some of the largest marijuana seizures in U.S. history.

Federal agents are trying to enlist warehouse managers and workers to help recognize the telltale signs of tunneling. Watch for construction equipment and piles of dirt, they say. Listen for the sound of jackhammers. And recognize the scent of unburned marijuana.

For owners, they should think twice when tenants pay rent in cash, the agents say. Or if tenants offer little information about their businesses.

And if workers come and go at odd hours.

“There is obviously a major prob-

The San Diego Tunnel Task Force agents began visiting owners and tenants last week to gather intelligence on some of the 12,000 businesses in the industrial complex near one of the nation’s busiest border crossings for trucks.

The agents peppered managers with questions before asking to look around: What line of work are you in?

Who is your landlord? How many

neighboring suites are leased?

“We’re trying to get as many eyes and ears in the community as we can,” Jonathon White, the Drug Enforcement Administration’s San Ysidro agent in charge, reassured one manager, a customs broker, during a visit Thursday.

More than 125 cross-border tunnels have been found along the U.S.-Mexico border since the 1990s, though most are crude and incomplete. In Nogales, Ariz., smugglers tap into vast underground drainage canals. California is popular because its clay-like soil is easy to dig with shovels.

No search planned for missing boys over weekend MORENCI, Mich. (AP) — Hundreds of searchers combed the southern Michigan and northern Ohio countryside again Friday for three young brothers last seen at their father’s home on Thanksgiving. With the search ending unsuccessfully, authorities prepared to use the weekend to determine what else should be done to find the boys.

Morenci police had said Friday’s search would be the last organized one of the week using volunteers,

and fire official Bob Mohr said Friday evening that no search was planned for today or Sunday.

Still, it’s unlikely those who have turned out will stop looking for Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner Skelton, 5.

The search has consumed Morenci, a town of a b o u t 2 , 0 0 0 re s i d e n t s 75 miles southwest of Detroit. Today’s annual Christmas parade has been cancelled, and City Hall shut down so it could be used as a command center.

Much of the search in recent days has centered on three counties in the northwestern corner of Ohio. Dive teams dove into lakes, rivers and a gravel pit, while buses carried hundreds of volunteers to remote roads and fields.

The boys’ father, John Skelton, faces three kidnapping charges and is fighting extradition from Ohio to Michigan. He remains jailed on a $3 million bond.

Morenci police Chief Larry Weeks said earlier

this week that Skelton, 39, has provided some information, but authorities have had no contact with him during the past few days.

The boys’ mother, Tanya Skelton, 44, reported them missing Nov. 26 after their father didn’t return them from a court-ordered visitation. Police say John Skelton lied to investigators when he said he gave the boys to a female acquaintance to hand over to their mother before he tried to commit suicide.

City buys strip mall

thing with the property now.

“The Civic Center is hemmed in by other properties,” Wocken said.

The city purchased the strip mall — home to a sandwich shop, a tobacco store, a fitness center, a vacuum shop, a podiatrist and a salon — on Aug. 24 from DuWayne Ternes of CCC Properties, Wocken said.

The money for the purchase came from the cash balance of the city’s hospitality tax, Wocken said.

The rents collected by the city will go to pay back the purchase cost over 12 to 14 years. Rocky Gordon and Co. will manage the property.

“I think it was a smart move on

their part,” Ternes said. “Looking down the road, it was the right thing to do.”

Ternes had owned the strip mall since 1993, he said.

Ternes said that the purchase addresses a parking shortage shared by the Civic Center and the strip mall, both of which use the parking lot on the other side of Bowen Avenue from the property.

“Obviously, parking could be a use,” according to Wocken, who said there are no plans yet for the mall. “It’s fully occupied and it’s doing well.”

Hoeven will light the tree at 5 p.m. Monday in Memorial Hall while he and first lady Mikey Hoeven emcee the ceremony, which includes music and dancing.

The next public ceremony Hoeven will be involved with is his own resignation on Tuesday.

Starting at 11:30 a.m., Hoeven will make the announcement, followed by the swearing in of governor-designate Jack Dalrymple and his lieutenant, Drew Wrigley, by Supreme Court Chief Justice Jerry VandeWalle.

Dalrymple and Wrigley also will make speeches; a receiving line and reception will follow in Memorial Hall. The public is welcome to attend the ceremony and reception.

GOP hiring The state Republican Party has begun its search for a new executive director pending the departure of director Adam Jones by the end of the year.

Interim party chairwoman Carma Hanson said the search will be in full swing after the Dec. 11 election of a new chairman and she outlined the requirements for the job.

While a bachelor’s degree is preferred, the candidate must have two to five years of campaign and management experience. The executive director also will be in charge of updating the party website and maintaining finances.

In addition to working with the Legislature, party officials and district chairmen, the executive director also must “build relationships with major donors and maintain an aggressive fundraising campaign,” Hanson wrote in an e-mail.

Salary is commensurate with experience; applicants must include their salary history and requirements. Jones made more than $70,000 a year in his time with the party.

Crisis averted?

Legislation has been crafted by the Tax Department to address a small increase in state taxes that comes with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts.

Married joint filers could see an increase of up to $94 because the provision that allows joint filers twice the standard deduction of single filers is set the expire as well. That will bring in another $6.7 million in revenue per biennium unless the Legislature passes this state level bill to correct the disparity.

Rep. Mike Nathe, R-Bismarck, is the primary sponsor of the bill when the session starts in January.

Goings on The Pride of Dakota Holiday Showcase is going on now at the Civic Center through Sunday. It costs $2 to get in and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Sheriff’s Department gives up tresses for local charity

By JENNY MICHAEL Bismarck Tribune A makeshift barber shop was set up in the lobby of the Burleigh County Courthouse as six members of the sheriff’s department lost their locks for charity.

It all started when Maj. Kelly Leben teased Detective Ron Mehrer that the latter would be as bald as the former if he would clip his tresses as closely. Mehrer said he would shave his dome if $75 was raised for a charity in time for Christmas. Before long, the ante had been upped to all of the investigators plus Maj. Les Witkowski shaving their heads if $500 was raised. An extra $500 would mean Sheriff Pat Heinert would lose his mane.

The sheriff’s department decided any money raised would be given to Neighbor’s Network, a local service that connects mainly p ov e r t y- l e v e l f a m i l i e s w i t h resources to keep children from having problems that could affect their school success and social or emotional development.

A Mandan native will be among five women featured in a three-part reality series to air this month on the TLC network.

Stephanie “Dakota” Redding, 25, a 2004 graduate of New Salem High School, is part of the cast of “Bama Belles,” to be shown on three one-hour segments at 9 p.m. Sunday and Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.

The series is intended to eliminate the stereotypes of Southern women and give a genuine look at what their lives are like.

Redding is a staff sergeant in the 100th Division of the Army Reserves, where she teaches combat medicine, emergency medical technician training and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

In the three-part series, she is known as “Dakota.” Redding said she earned the nickname early on when she first moved to Alabama and it stuck. “They called me that because I was from North Dakota and they thought I talked funny,” she said.

Other cast members are Val Tignini, an Internet entrepreneur; Amie Pollard, a radio talk show disc jockey; Melissa Henderson-McLaney, who runs her own water sports business; and Jana Roberts, a beautician.

It appears the Southern lifestyle agrees with Redding. “I like the South. I don’t like cold,” Redding said of North Dakota.

If the show finds an audience, Redding said it might run longer.

She is now living in San Antonio, Texas, but said she may return to Alabama.

The three episodes were filmed in September. Redding said she is the youngest of the women; the oldest is 39.

“We each live separate lives,” she said of her group of friends.

Redding is the daughter of Carol Schmidt of Mandan and Ray Schmidt of Center.

N.D. man among 9 pardoned by Obama Charges included cocaine use, adultery WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has granted the first pardons of his presidency, to nine people including a North Dakota man.

The list of those pardoned, announced Friday, includes Edgar Leopold Kranz Jr. of Minot, N.D. The announcement said Kranz received 24 months of confinement and a pay reduction for cocaine use, adultery and bouncing checks.

The White House declined to give details on the cases or comment on why the nine were selected by a president who previously

had only pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys.

No telephone listing could be found Friday for Kranz, and Minot police said they knew nothing about his background.

“I don’t think it’s one of our local cases. Looking at the charges, it sounds like a military case,” Minot Police Department Sgt. Shawn Wegner said.

Kranz, 56, is serving at the Minot Air Force Base, according to Minot’s KXMC-TV. Base officials told KXMC that he was sentenced in 1994 for wrongful use of cocaine, adultery and writing three insufficient fund checks.

The base said Kranz was promoted to the rank of master sergeant in 2006.

Sheriff’s Dept. probes voter fraud

Bismarck Tribune ■ Bismarcktribune.com

‘THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES’

The Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department is investigating whether two men committed voter fraud by voting twice in the general election.

Burleigh County Sheriff’s Det. Ron Mehrer said County Auditor Kevin Glatt reported two men may have voted in the early voting for the November general election, then also voted on Election Day. One voted at BECEP, which is the former Richholt Elementary School, and one voted at Prairie Rose Elementary School, Mehrer said.

Glatt said the possible irregularity was discovered during an audit.

“The potential exists that somebody who voted at an early vote precinct also attempted to vote on Election Day,” he said.

Mehrer said officers will speak to the men and try to determine whether they voted twice. Glatt said such incidents are rare, but it has happened twice in the past. In those cases, people voted absentee very early, then attempted to vote again on Election Day by mistake, he said.

Man faces charge in fatal crash FARGO (AP) — Cass County prosecutors have filed a reckless endangerment charge against a man who allegedly was street-racing his brother when the brother died in an Oct. 17 crash in Fargo.

Assistant State’s Attorney Tristan Van de Streek said that a reckless endangerment charge against Sammy Perales was being filed Thursday.

Fargo police say Sammy’s brother, 23-year-old Ruben Perales, was driving at up to 108 mph when he struck a pillar and died at an Interstate 94 underpass.

Reached by phone Thursday, Sammy Perales told the newspaper he didn’t know he was being charged and had no comment about it.

Man pleads not guilty in standoff FARGO (AP) — A Kindred man has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a 12-hour standoff at his homein October.

Robert Lee Bodin Jr., 39, entered pleas on Thursday. He was charged with aggravated domestic assault and preventing arrest following the incident.

Bodin is accused of injuring his wife’s hand while trying to take vehicle keys from her.

The arrest came after Bodin was forced out of his garage when members of Red River Valley SWAT deployed tear gas.

Police investigate rape in W. Fargo WEST FARGO (AP) — West Fargo police are investigating the reported rape of a 15-year-old West Fargo girl at her home.

West Fargo Assistant Police Chief Mike Reitan said that the girl’s mother had left to run a shopping errand just before the sexual assault occurred Thursday night and the girl’s father wasn’t home. When the mother returned, the daughter reported the rape.

Reitan says the suspect entered the home through the unlocked front door, went downstairs to the girl’s bedroom, assaulted her and left through the front door in an unknown direction.

Reitan says the victim indicated she didn’t know her assailant. She was taken to a local hospital to be examined.

Man dies 7 months after bar fight BUFFALO, Minn. (AP) — A former student body president at the University of North Dakota has died, seven months after a fight outside a bar in Minnesota.

The cause of Baker’s death has not been released yet. A witness told police Baker’s head hit concrete after he was punched in the jaw in St. Michael on May 2.

Wright County Attorney Tom Kelly says his office plans to add a charge of second-degree unintentional homicide against 24-year-old Alexander Tuomisto.

Tuomisto is charged with first-degree assault and remains free on $100,000 bail pending trial.

Tuomisto’s attorney says his client is saddened by Baker’s death, and that Baker’s injuries were unintentional.

Fargo police seek gas station robber FARGO (AP) — Fargo police are investigating an armed robbery at the M&H gas station on Main Avenue.

BIRTHS Medcenter One

ACROSS 4. SOLD not bold. Having a “quota” means there’s an expectation to make a set number of sales. So, whether the “student” was bold or otherwise, the ultimate “error” was not having “SOLD enough.”

6. CONCERTS not concerto. One can hardly “build up a name” from a repertoire of one concerto. Performing multiple CONCERTS might indeed “enable a virtuoso pianist to” become a success.

7. ILL not all. There are likely to be a number of

“people” who don’t “like being fussed over” at all. But oftentimes when “people” are ILL, it is natural for them to “like to be” given a certain amount of attention.

10. ROUND not wound. Any wound would certainly “cause concern” whether it’s a “bad” one or not. But in regards to a ROUND, a golfer, for example, “might” be worried about “a bad” one he’s had on the course, but it largely depends on how seriously he takes the game.

13. LUCK not lock. There is no indication in the clue that the robbery “victim” has had a lock broken during the “theft.” She therefore may have little cause to “feel confident.” But a “change” in her LUCK may be enough reason to “feel better.”

15. BOW not vow. A person “taking a vow” is usually genuinely “sincere,” especially if doing so before a judge or a religious leader. “An air of sincerity” is not necessarily genuine, which fits well with BOW because many a BOW is done in jest.

17. TALK not tale. “A TALK” implies a presentation or speech to a gathering with those in attendance likely “frustrated” if the speaker “leaves” without “finishing.” But a tale can be as simple as a bedtime story that might be left “unfinished” because the child listening has fallen asleep.

19. SEEDS not deeds. The “gardener” is likely to be “generous” with the fruits of her labor by giving some of what she has grown to others.

“Repaying” her “with good SEEDS” is certainly apt. “Good deeds” as a “repayment” is less direct and may not apply to “gardening” at all.

20. LEATHER not weather. She may well have “LEATHER in mind” when “shopping” for footwear because it’s a direct link to “shoes,” but it would be more accurate to refer to the “New Yorker” as having the season “in mind, when shoe shopping.”

DOWN 1. FOOL not foal. “In spite of everything” indicates that something could possibly be done to prevent “excitement.” This could apply to a person behaving FOOLISHLY but young foals would naturally tend toward being highly “excitable,” and little could be done to stop that.

2. BEARD not bears. The clue word “best” implies there are numerous ways to “describe” what’s in the “photograph.” This fits well with a BEARD, which might be “described” in many ways, one of which is “grizzly.” However, there is one definitive “grizzly bear,” because such an animal is distinctively different in size and fur, from others of his species.

3. STAG not star. Although many might be “thrilled” when “first seeing” a TV or movie star, the celebrity’s significance may mean nothing to a “youngster” who is not media-savvy. But the size, grace and power of a STAG, upon “first”

glance from a child’s perspective, “will” likely be impressive.

8. LEG not log. You can certainly “lose” your “balance standing on one LEG.” However, there are many large logs that could easily accommodate a person “standing” on them.

9. LOT not pot. The “player” may well celebrate “winning the LOT” (i.e., all that has been wagered), although “ pleased” does not necessarily apply to “winning” the “poker pot” because it might be a small one.

11. NEATLY not nearly. “Most nearly cut” is too vague because the clue doesn’t mention the qualifiers; for instance, it could mean “most nearly cut” to a specific point or “cut” clean through. NEATLY is far more straightforward answer.

12. LONELY not lovely. “At a dance, a lovely woman” is sure to “attract” some “attention.”

But it might not be obvious at first that the “woman” is LONELY and therefore, she might “possibly attract attention,” or not at all.

14. COT not cat. There is nothing in the clue to indicate the condition of the COT, which might be in perfectly good shape in spite of its age and therefore, something well worth keeping. “An old cat” might be in considerable pain from some age-related illness that could be a concern to the “housewife,” who might not like the idea of its continued suffering.

Ranchers try to satisfy demand for bison meat

By CODY WINCHESTER For The Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The view from a bison ranch is pure South Dakota postcard, herds of the shaggy beasts ambling slowly across the waving prairie grass.

The animal that was hunted almost to extinction a century ago has returned as a popular and profitable livestock animal, and ranchers will tell you that the best way to preserve the bison is, strangely enough, to eat it.

As bison meat has grown in popularity, prairie states such as South Dakota, traditional home to large herds of bison, have become the center of the ranching industry.

But as herds dwindle and demand for the meat spikes, producers are facing a new problem: too many customers, too few bison.

“Consumer demand is outstripping our available supply of animals,” said Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association. “Our business has really turned around in five years.”

Former Sioux Falls Mayor Rick Knobe, who runs a few dozen head of bison in McCook County, about four miles north of Lake Vermillion, can attest to this.

“Demand for the meat has gone up about 10 percent every year, which is a nice problem to have,” he said.

The buffalo boom is a result, partly, of savvier marketing on the part of ranchers and industry groups, but it’s also because of a supply bottleneck.

“The buffalo market is real unstable. When there’s demand, the price goes so high because the numbers aren’t there,” said Mike Dejonge, owner of Western Meat and Locker in Sioux Falls. Dejonge said he has been processing fewer bison as the price of meat

Associated Press

Bison roam free at Rick Knobe’s pasture near Montrose, S.D., on Nov. 26. has gone up.

Although South Dakota has the most bison of any state, herd numbers have fallen from 40,168 in 2002 to 38,701 in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent census.

Ranchers say that number now is closer to 27,000. The number of bison ranches also has dropped, from 204 to 179.

As a result, industry groups are encouraging ranchers to expand their herds. They’re also actively recruiting people into the bison business. That was the goal of a bison ranching workshop Nov. 19-20 at Custer State Park, timed to coincide with the park’s annual buffalo auction.

The auction is “kind of the bellwether for buffalo prices,” Knobe said. Buffalo traditionally aren’t traded on major commodity markets, so ranchers tend to rely on regional auctions and USDA bulletins to establish price signals.

Like many bison ranchers in the state, Knobe is looking to grow.

“We’re working on a business plan right now to

Woman accused of killing husband ‘execution style’

By ANDREA COOK Lee News Service South Dakota prosecutors claim a woman fired two shots into her husband’s head about six hours apart, and say the final shot was fired at point-blank range, “execution style.”

Amanda Kaur, 27, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder Wednesday in the death of her 26-year-old husband, Ira, at their New Underwood home last Sunday.

Staff Sgt. Ira Kaur was a military pay technician at Ellsworth Air Force Base.

Amanda Kaur is being held in Penn i n g t o n Ira Kaur County Jail on a $1 million bond set Thursday morning during her initial court appearance via video conference from the jail.

She allegedly bought the .45-caliber handgun used to kill her husband the day before the shooting, Pennington County Deputy State’s Attorney Joshua Zellmer said in court.

Ira Kaur was found lying under blood-soaked blankets on a futon in the basement hallway of the Kaurs’ home Sunday afternoon, according to an affidavit requesting a search warrant for the couple’s home.

Amanda Kaur’s first shot was fired at about 7 a.m. into the right side of Ira Kaur’s head, but the shot did not kill him, Zellmer said.

Amanda Kaur allegedly then “manufactured a suicide scene,” Zellmer said, and “she then took the kids to breakfast.”

When she returned to the house, she allegedly discovered her husband was still

alive. Zellmer said that she continued to doctor the scene.

A neighbor told investigators that a “somewhat frantic” Amanda Kaur knocked on her door at about noon, asking for zip ties. She even offered to pay for the zip ties, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Six hours after Ira Kaur was first shot, a second shot was fired into his forehead, Zellmer said.

According to the affidavit filed by authorities, Amanda Kaur claimed she left the couple’s home with her children at about noon to go grocery shopping at Ellsworth Air Force Base. She returned around 1 p.m. and was in the house for 20 minutes before claiming to find her husband on the futon.

“Amanda then took the gun upstairs, wiped it off with a washcloth. She then wrapped the gun up in the washcloth. Amanda then covered Ira with a blanket and called 911,” the affidavit states.

Amanda Kaur was arrested Wednesday afternoon on the service road east of New Underwood, according to authorities.

If convicted, Amanda Kaur could face the death penalty or life in prison.

“We have not made a decision yet on whether to seek the death penalty,” Pennington County State’s Attorney Glenn Brenner said Thursday afternoon.

Zellmer said Amanda Kaur may have been trying to flee the area, something that she denied in court Thursday.

“I was not trying to flee,” she said. “I was taking clothes to my children.”

Kaur’s next court appearance has not been set.

expand the herd, and get some more land, and get some financing to make that happen,” he said.

T h e re a re t w o m a i n obstacles to breaking into the bison business. The first is financing the up-front

capital expenditure, which can be substantial. Bison haven’t been selectively bred for docility for thousands of years, as cattle have, so corrals and fencing have to be sturdier.

The second is finding

stock animals, which now are scarce. And supply stability remains the biggest challenge for the industry.

“It’s keeping a level number of animals available, growing the herds back,” Knobe said. “The demand got so high that some people were processing heifers and younger cows.”

Another problem is distribution. Most of the big processing plants are West River, near the bigger bison ranches. This poses a problem for The Co-op Natural Foods in Sioux Falls, which does not have space to store a lot of bison meat (they freeze it).

“We can’t take 600 pounds at once, because we don’t have the storage facilities for it,” said Molly Langley, the co-op manager. “Why would (a West River processor) make the trip for 50 or 100 pounds? Economy of scale is a bit of an issue for us.”

But the demand is there.

Recently, the co-op had a pound of ground bison at

$7.89, and still couldn’t keep it on the shelves, Langley said.

At the Hy-Vee on Minnesota Avenue, meat market manager Mike Steffen had a pound of fresh bison chuck going for $6.99. He also has seen the price rise steadily, about 20 to 30 cents each month, and he thinks it’s nearing its upper limit.

“Customers are starting to shy away a little bit,” he said. “It’s starting to price itself out.”

Bison ranching remains a profitable enterprise, although the payoff can be years away. “We’re not in the chicken business,” Carter said. “You can’t turn this around in eight weeks.”

It generally takes two years before an animal is ready for slaughter, partly because most bison ranchers don’t use growth hormones or antibiotics. No need, they say. Thousands of years of evolution on the prairie have made bison perfectly suited to South Dakota.

‘Incriminating’ statement heard

By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press

Associated Press

Fargo Police Detective Paula Ternes describes a photo taken near the Philip Gattuso residence in Fargo while giving testimony Friday during the Michael Nakvinda trial at the Cass County District Courthouse.

No DNA matches to defendant FARGO (AP) — Testimony in the trial of a man accused of killing a Fargo dentist in a murder-for-hire scheme wrapped up Friday with a report from the woman who analyzed DNA samples in the case.

Michael Nakvinda of Oklahoma City is accused of beating Philip Gattuso to death with a hammer in October 2009. Authorities believe Gattuso’s father-in-law didn’t want Gattuso raising his granddaughter and paid Nakvinda $3,000 for the hit.

Nakvinda says that he wasn’t in Fargo during the murder.

Hope Olson, director of the North Dakota crime lab, testified Friday that she analyzed more than 30 DNA samples from items submitted by investigators. She said none of the samples could be matched to Nakvinda.

Testimony in the state’s case is scheduled to resume Monday.

Fraud case appeal ‘has no merit’ FARGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors say an appeal by a former Minot commodities broker convicted for defrauding investors out of millions of dollars was filed too late and has no merit.

Frederick Keiser Jr. was convicted in March 2007 on 22 counts and sentenced to 12 years in prison. He filed an appeal last month claiming that a blood infection affected his capacity to defend himself or decide whether he should use a lawyer.

The government says Keiser should have raised the issue before sentencing and says the appeal is not supported by fact.

One of Keiser’s former associates, Verlin Swartzendruber, was sentenced earlier this week to five years in prison.

Prosecutors said during sentencing that Swartzendruber received less time than Keiser because he hired a lawyer and negotiated a plea.

Fargo students study South Pole FARGO (AP) — A group of eighth-grade students from Fargo has been sharing research on Antarctica with North Dakota State University scientists who are 300 miles from the South Pole.

About 140 students from Ben Franklin Middle School have been working on the project since October. They’re able to connect with the researchers through live Internet video.

NDSU officials say the students and scientists have talked about global warming, fossils, meteorites, volcanoes, ultraviolet rays and what it’s like for the researchers to be in a place where they can’t shower for weeks.

Ben Franklin science teacher Barry Olson says that the project is a way to show students about opportunities in scientific research. He says the eighth-graders can also see what it’s like to prepare for a two-month trip in the field.

Aquash six months before Aquash was killed. The judge deemed it hearsay.

But under questioning from prosecutors, she was allowed to say that Peltier made an “incriminating” statement.

At the 2004 trial of Arlo Looking Cloud, an alleged co-conspirator who was convicted of taking part in Aquash’s slaying, Ecoffey testified that Peltier told her and Aquash that he killed two FBI agents during a June 1975 shootout at a Pine Ridge ranch.

“He said the (expletive) was begging for his life, but I shot him anyway,” Ecoffey testified then.

Peltier was convicted of shooting the agents in 1977 and is serving a life sentence.

E c o f f e y a l s o w a s n’t allowed to tell jurors Friday about an alleged incident at a national AIM convention a few weeks before the shootout with the FBI agents. In 2004, Ecoffey testified that she was told Peltier held a gun to Aquash’s head and asked her if she was a government informant.

On Friday, Ecoffey only said Aquash appeared nervous and upset in discussing what happened at the convention.

RAPID CITY, S.D. — A witness testified Friday that an American Indian Movement activist later convicted of killing two FBI agents made an “incriminating” statement in front of her and a n o t h e r group member who was later shot and killed.

Darlene “Kamook” Ecoffey was testifying at Graham the tr ial of John Graham, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of first- and second-degree murder in the 1975 slaying of a fellow AIM member, Annie Mae Aquash, near South Dakota’s Pine Ridge reservation. Graham, a 55-year-old Southern Tutchone Indian from Canada, could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.

Ecoffey, the former common-law wife of AIM leader Dennis Banks, was forbidden by Circuit Court Judge John Delaney from telling jurors exactly what she a l l e g e s g ro u p m e m b e r Leonard Peltier told her and

Prosecutors allege that Graham, Looking Cloud and Theda Clark killed Aquash because AIM leaders believed she was a government spy, which authorities have denied. Aquash’s killing has become synonymous with AIM and its violent clashes with federal agents during the 1970s.

Graham’s attorney, John Murphy, will question Ecoffey on Monday.

Also testifying Friday was Cleo Gates, the ex-wife of Richard Marshall, a man once accused of providing the .32-caliber pistol used to kill Aquash. Marshall was found not guilty earlier this year and is expected to testify Monday.

Gates said Aquash sat inside their Pine Ridge home in late 1975 while Graham, Looking Cloud, Clark and Marshall met inside a bedroom, where prosecutors allege Marshall passed along a gun.

Gates testified that she didn’t see a gun and didn’t believe Marshall kept any weapons inside the house.

Candy Hamilton, a legal defense worker at the time of the incident, testified that she heard AIM supporters talking to Aquash inside a Rapid City building, before

prosecutors believe she was taken toward Pine Ridge. But Hamilton dismissed rumors o f Pe l t i e r t h r e a t e n i n g Aquash as “gossip,” and when prosecutor Rod Oswald asked her if she thought an FBI agent could have killed Aquash, she replied the agent “didn’t pull the trigger, but I think he could make it happen.”

Aquash, a member of the Mi’kmaq tribe of Nova Scotia, was 30 when she died.

Her death came about two years after she participated in AIM’s 71-day occupation of the South Dakota reservation town of Wounded Knee.

AIM was founded in the late 1960s to protest the U.S. government’s treatment of Indians and demand the g ov e r n m e n t h o n o r i t s treaties with Indian tribes. It gained national attention in 1972 when it took over the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington, but has since faded from public view.

Graham was first indicted in 2003, and extradited to South Dakota four years later to face federal murder charges. But after federal courts ruled that U.S. prosecutors didn’t have authority to prosecute Graham, he was indicted in state court.

Fallen pilot’s remains heading home FA R G O ( A P ) — T h e remains of a fallen U.S. pilot who went missing during the Vietnam War are finally coming home to North Dakota.

After more than 40 years of not knowing what happened to Tom Beyer, his widow will travel from Fargo to Hawaii with their children this month to accept his remains and a box of his personal items.

“I always worried he could have been a prisoner of war, that was my biggest fear,” said Karen Beyer, who never remarried after her husband disappeared. “It’s a relief to know he hasn’t been

alive over there and suffering all these years.”

A funeral for her husband is planned for Dec. 18.

For 42 years, family photos and her children were Karen Beyer’s main connection to her husband.

“They don’t remember him. They were 1 and 3 when he left,” she said of her children, Steve and Sandra, who are now grown with children of their own.

Last spring, she received a phone call informing her that a wedding ring had been found at a site in Vietnam.

But she couldn’t identify it from the photos she was sent. Another call came let-

HOT & JUICY

ting her know that identification and credit cards had been turned over to U.S. authorities by someone in Vietnam.

Then, bone fragments were found and identified through DNA tests as belonging to Tom Beyer.

In a way, she found the news comforting, Karen Beyer said.

She recently learned that

American soldiers reported seeing his plane fly overhead, followed by the sound of an explosion, but no wreckage was recovered.

“His fellow pilots told me it was the worst terrain there.

The jungle just swallows up these small planes,” she said, adding that she believes her husband’s plane was probably brought down by ground fire.

When it was all over, small piles of hair remained on the floor of the courth o u s e l o b b y. L e b e n laughed, touching his own noggin, close cropped by nature and his own hand, when asked why he wasn’t getting sheared along with his co-workers.

City buys strip mall Ternes said that the city made an informal pledge not to do anything with the strip mall property for five years and that his tenants were satisfied with the arrangement.

The property will stay on the tax rolls because it has a commercial use and not a m u n i c i p a l o n e, w h i c h would be exempt. A similar arrangement applies to the

Bismarck Airport, which is owned by the city.

“Just because the city owns it doesn’t mean it won’t pay taxes,” he said.

The city had the strip mall appraised before the purchase and the City Commission discussed an offer price in a closed executive session at its Aug. 24 meeting. Commissioners unanimously approved the deal

following the closed discussion.

State open meeting laws allow public bodies to discuss transaction details in private. Wocken said the closed discussions are standard procedure when discussing negotiations of contracts.

“We don’t buy property very often,” said Commissioner Mike Seminary. He

Continued from 1B said the strategic location of the commercial property justified the purchase of the building, even if city officials had no plans to do anything with the location yet.

“Right now, nothing is going to change,” Seminary said.

Man to plead guilty in Bismarck heist One of three Bismarck men accused of stealing $330,000 from an armored car in February says he will plead guilty in federal court.

Matthew Fiechtner, Michael Link and Nathan Tuenge are charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States and bank larceny. A plea agreement signed by Fiechtner was released earlier this week.

State court documents accuse Link of providing keys for the truck, Fiechtner of making duplicates of the keys, and Fiechtner and Tuenge of removing money from the truck while dressed to resemble drivers. The case was eventually moved to federal court.

Trial is scheduled for Jan. 11.

Ex-basketball player suing hospital A former Williston State College basketball player whose leg was amputated after an injury is suing the Minot hospital where she was taken for emergency care.

Lenishka McDonald of Freeport, Grand Bahamas, injured her knee in a collision with another player during a scrimmage in October 2009. Doctors in Williston had her transferred to Trinity Health in Minot after it was discovered she had artery damage behind the knee.

She later was flown by air ambulance to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where her right lower leg was amputated.

McDonald’s federal lawsuit accuses the hospital of failing to provide the necessary testing and care in a timely matter.

She’s seeking unspecified damages.

FAITH Oblate meeting at monastery is Sunday

S ECTION C

A refuge from the storm

The oblates of Annunciation Monastery, Bismarck, will meet at the monastery from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday. Oblates will spend time in Advent scripture reflection and discussion based on the book “Spirituality for Everyday Living,” by Brian C. Taylor.

Oblates are women and men who associate themselves with a monastery, seek God and live according to the Rule of Benedict in their everyday lives. Anyone interested in the oblate program is welcome to attend.

Oblates also are invited to Eucharist at 11 a.m., followed by lunch in the monastery dining room.

For more information, contact Sister Patricia Schap at 255-1520.

Shoeboxes can still be packed online Operation Christmas Child has announced that the Bismarck collection center has contributed more than 8,700 shoeboxes filled with gifts for children overseas. The shoeboxes were collected during National Collection Week in November and will be shipped to children in three different areas in India.

This year, there is another way to contribute a shoebox, even after National Collection Week. The new program, “Build a Box,” is a way to pack a box online. People can get more information or pack a box at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ. There, donors select a child’s age and gender; shop through an online selection of toys, necessity items and school supplies, and finish with a personal note of encouragement. The gift boxes will be assembled by volunteers at Operation Christmas Child’s processing center in Charlotte, N.C. Donors can track their boxes under “follow the box.”

Gayla Sherman, harp, and Jeremy Overbeck, cello, will perform as soloists. Featured musicians include the Rev. James Baneck on organ, Pierette Johnson, flute, the Rev. Mark Drews, trumpet, and Renae Hoggarth, piano, as well as a string quartet from Century High School.

A spacious solarium near the main entrance of St. Alexius Medical Center is a quiet and restful place for visitors, as well as patients and hospital staff.

Meditation room, solarium accommodate people of all faiths

By KAREN HERZOG Bismarck Tribune The patterns of sacred colors pressed in glass on the doors of St. Alexius’ meditation room are rounded, reminiscent of Chippewa art and decoration, as well as geometric motifs like the Lakotas’.

The colors and patterns also are appropriate for a room used by Muslim medical staff for prayer since there is no depiction of the human form, which is forbidden in Islam.

The colored doors and side windows designed by artist Butch Thunderhawk allow light into the simply-furnished room. Rows of chairs line soft sand-colored walls.

Natural materials complete the space — a wood plank ceiling and slate floor. The back of the room curves into a gentle bow to suggest the circular themes in Native American spiritual practices and the ceiling is inset with a large louvered ventilation cover. The ventilation was built in so that the room can be used for smudging and the use of incense or the ritual pipe.

Smudging, or using the smoke from smoldering herbs and plants such as cedar, sweetgrass and sage, is associated with healing and prayer, said the Rev. Julian Nix, a chaplain at St. Alexius for 21 years.

The smoke is gently fanned across the people present with a feather or fan of feathers, representing healing purification and the rising of prayers, Nix said. Religious practices that use incense or smudging, anything involving fire, were difficult to do in patient rooms, both for space and for the risk of fire, he said.

The meditation room is a separate space just off the solarium on the main floor at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck.

The solarium’s winding paths and standing greenery are meant to give a park-like feel to the space.

A large open-air gathering space just outside the solarium is furnished with tables and benches, large potted plants and a life-size sculpture of St. Vincent de Paul and a group of children, its tawny finish now interspersed with white where snow has come to rest.

Both the solarium and the meditation room were created in 2005, designed in collaboration with St. Alexius staffers and people from the Standing Rock, Three Affiliated Tribes and Turtle Moun-

THE MEDITATION ROOM AT ST. ALEXIUS

The Rev. Julian Nix stands in the austere meditation room inside St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, where people from different cultures can gather and conduct religious ceremonies. tain communities.

The staff was asked what they would like, and the solarium — a place for both staff, visitors and families to unwind, pray or just sit in silence — was the result. Consultations with the Muslim doctors on staff, those from India, Buddhists, and elders and others from North Dakota’s tribes found that they wanted a space that could be used for ceremonies and prayer practices that wouldn’t be suitable in St. Alexius’ Christianthemed chapel.

The whole process included educational sessions for the entire

staff on the spiritual practices of other religions and cultures, Nix said.

In the solarium, a large manmade tree has been placed under a glassed-in dome, while nooks of seating make the large space feel like an intimate collection of private spaces. The winding floor leads toward a large fireplace.

Soothing music is played there, ranging from Native American flute to Eastern “world” soundscapes.

Both spaces were dedicated to recognizing “the whole person, and all the people,” Nix said. Mod-

■ Is designed to accommodate the cultural and religious practices of other faiths for whom the main chapel in not suitable.

■ Adequate ventilation has been built into the facility to accommodate the burning of incense and allow for the practice of “smudging” in Native American ceremonies. The ritual use of sage, sweetgrass, cedar and tobacco burned in a bowl or pipe is permitted. Candles are permitted.

The use of feathers by Native Americans is permitted.

St. Alexius is a Roman Catholic institution. The Pastoral Care Department approves all uses of the Meditation Room. While respecting the cultures of patients, some activities are not permitted, such as: ■ Fires, or fire if anyone participating is using an oxygen mask; no electrical appliances or extension cords.

■ No use of illegal or controlled substances such as peyote or hallucinogenics.

■ No piercing, cutting, scarification or mutilation of people.

■ No activity which harms an animal, or the use of animal blood or body parts.

■ Any form of sexual activity.

■ The practice of any religion or act which is diametrically opposed to the Catholic Church. The priest who is chaplain makes the final determination in all cases.

■ In the solarium, no food, no promotional or sales activities, no meetings, no staff-related celebrations, are permitted. ern medicine has to fit into the lives of the people coming there, he said.

“Healing is not just physical, but (takes place) in the mind and spirit as well,” he said.

The best medical care can be defeated by fear, but thrives in a place where your beliefs can be freely expressed, Nix said.

‘Scum of the Earth’ tends to outsiders

By DAVID YONKE New York Times Service DENVER — A part of the Bible frequently cited by pastors as the role model for congregations is Acts, Chapter 2. Those verses describe first century Christians experiencing “many wonders and miraculous signs,” breaking bread and praising God together and enjoying “the favor of all the people.”

Little wonder the chapter is so popular.

On the other hand, there’s only one church I know of that quotes St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 4, verse 13, as a role model: “We have become the scum of the Earth, the refuse of the world” (New International Version).

After writing from a distance about this Denver church founded in 2000 by the Rev. Mike Sares, a Toledo native, I had the opportunity to attend a Sares service at Scum of the Earth.

I didn’t get the full experience because the church’s main service is on Sunday nights, drawing 200 to

300 people compared to about 40 for morning services. And the church temporarily has been uprooted because the city has ordered fire-code upgrades to the 120-year-old building it calls home — at an estimated cost of $50,000 to $100,000.

Meanwhile, another Denver church lets Scum use its trendy office complex several miles south of downtown. The morning service starts at 10:30, but members arrive early because meals are served at Scum before every service.

I was at a table with Mr. Sares, eating a breakfast casserole cooked by a church member, when a battered blue car with no front bumper pulled up to the building.

“Here comes our celebrant for today,” Mr. Sares said.

Out stepped Marcus, a skinny guy in jeans and dark plaid shirt, wearing a silver-and-blue Mexican wrestler’s mask. The mask is cool, Marcus explained, because it has a cross on the forehead. He peeled it off and handed it to a grade-school boy named Rocket (“Rocket’s his real name,” Mr. Sares said. “His father’s an aeronautical engineer.”)

Scum of the Earth calls itself a “church for the right-

brained and the left out,” and its ministry is to artists, skateboarders, goths, punk rockers, the tattooed and pierced and anyone who would feel unwelcome in a traditional church setting.

Mr. Sares, meanwhile, looks like a normal, welladjusted, middle-aged, ordained, seminary-school grad and pastor. He didn’t want to call the church Scum of the Earth, but the young people on staff insisted.

The average age of Scum attendees is about 24 or 25.

They come to hear Biblebased sermons and to hang out with other Christian outsiders. Aside from its name and the way people look, it’s not much different from many modern churches.

On Sunday morning, people sat in a circle of couches and folding chairs.

The service began with a few songs led by a woman playing an acoustic guitar.

During several responsorial readings, the crowd read from words printed on a handout sheet.

Mr. Sares introduced himself, saying, “I’ll be your sermonator today,” and preached from Mark, Chapter 10, in which Jesus heals Blind Bartimaeus.

When the blind beggar shouted at Jesus, the disciples told Bartimaeus to be quiet. The modern church

too often tries to shut people up, Mr. Sares said. The church can be a hindrance.

“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked Bartimaeus, Wasn’t it obvious, Mr. Sares asked. Bartimaeus was blind; he wanted to see.

Jesus’ real question was about how much faith Bartimaeus had “sloshing around in his soul?” How much faith would you have if Jesus asked you that question?

The service ended with Communion, with a guy in a Chuck Norris T-shirt holding a clay chalice and another person holding the bread. People lined up to break a piece of bread, dip it in the wine, then partake of the sacrament.

I asked a middle-aged woman who helps teach at Scum and whose husband is a noted Scripture scholar and seminary professor why they became involved with the church.

Because at most churches, she said, you have to behave and believe before you can belong. At Scum, you belong first. Then the hope is that you’ll believe.

And after that, maybe behave — with or without tattoos, piercings and black T-shirts.

Explain to Mom, lovingly, the perils of mothballs Dear Annie: My mother-in-law is coming to stay with us for a weeklong visit. We get along OK for the most part. The problem is that she packs all of her belongings in mothballs — every last item. She keeps mothballs in her closets, her dresser drawers, her bathrooms and bedrooms. She even keeps a big box of them in the hallway of her home.

When Mom comes to visit, the stench of the mothballs gives me such a bad headache that I often have to make excuses to leave the house. The mothballs also have caused my daughters to have bad allergic reactions when their grandmother is around. The last time she was here, my baby got an eye infection from rubbing her eyes so much while Grandma was carrying her.

Child vomits in restaurants

BRIDGE

DEAR DR. GOTT: My healthy and smart 8-yearold daughter vomits in restaurants. When she was 3, she had a spell of vomiting over the course of a couple of weeks that we could not explain. Her pediatrician suggested keeping track of what she ate to see if there was a pattern with certain foods, because there was no abdominal pain and it was not consistent with motion sickness. We discovered that the vomiting often occurred after she consumed dairy products, so after another doctor visit, we limited dairy and used Lactaid tablets.

The vomiting did not occur a s o f t e n ; h owe v e r, we noticed it was still a problem in restaurants. Then our daughter revealed something: She got nervous in restaurants. She was afraid she would vomit and be embarrassed and got herself so worked up she got sick.

Back to the doctor we went.

The doctor said kids usually grow out of lactose intolerance as she probably had but “some kids just barf a lot.” He said she would grow out of that, too.

She still has the problem.

It does not happen at home or school, or in the homes of others. We are at a loss. Eating out is not enjoyable because everyone is on edge wondering if she will get sick. We have had her talk with our pastor. We have tried rewards, praying, breathing exercises and distractions. Some things work for a little while, maybe even months, but then it will suddenly and unexpectedly happen again. Could a medical issue be the cause?

Please, Dr. Gott, any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. My husband and I are desperate to help our daughter get over this.

What would you do?

No r t h’s t h r e e - s p a d e response was a splinter bid, showing four-plus hearts, at least game-forcing values, and a singleton (or void) in spades.

DR. PETER GOTT

DEAR READER: You certainly appear to have covered many of the bases but still have not hit a home run in resolving the problem. I do not believe the stress and anxiety your daughter undergoes is related to an underlying medical condition, nor do I feel she does it for attention, but I don’t know her. Speak with her physician to be assured of her medical well-being.

Vomiting can be the result of fear or emotional stress but can also represent a viral infection, milk allergy, a blocked intestine, tumor, gastritis and the reaction to specific smells or odors.

These potential conditions are relatively easy to rule out with the assistance of laboratory work and X-rays.

Again, because she doesn’t complain of pain, fever, diarrhea, headache and other common symptoms, my guess is that her testing will be normal. However, her pediatr ician would be remiss if he or she did not consider the big picture. If her tests fail to reveal anything and she is an otherwise normal, physically healthy child, request a referral to a child therapist with whom she feels comfortable and can see regularly.

While you might give the therapist a heads-up, she should be allowed to speak freely without a parent sitting nearby coaching her.

Then back off as much as possible when an 8-year-old is involved. Allow your daughter to establish a rela-

tionship with the therapist, one she feels will help her now and in the future when other issues could come to light. Everything may be stress related, but it may be difficult to understand why she only reaches her limit when in a restaurant. This should be investigated and dealt with.

You have indicated that you are on edge when dining out, expecting a repeat of her normal pattern.

Whether you express it outwardly or not, I am sure she is perceptive enough to sense how you feel. And she picks up on that, no matter how well you think you are concealing your feelings.

A step you may or may not have considered is to stay away from restaurants.

From my perspective, it doesn’t appear worth putting your daughter through the trauma of public embarrassment. If there are compelling reasons for eating out, perhaps you can pick a corner table away from the hub of activity. Consider allowing her to bring a friend along so they can talk and giggle to reduce the tension level. Select a “restaurant” that has outdoor tables, and weather permitting, eat out of doors. Allow her and her friend to bring a hand-held game board to divert her attention away from her surroundings.

Rule out potential medical conditions, assure her that she can speak frankly with a professional therapist and see what transpires.

the very least mentioned the gift.

She said they are in constant contact, and after all, the person who gave him the car is her father. I think the son’s oversight was extremely thoughtless. A close relationship means respect and courtesy, and it should go both ways. The son should understand that his lack of communication was rude. — Mother of Two Grown Sons Dear Mom: Respect is indeed a two-way street. Sonny Boy is an independent adult who is not obligated to tell his mother everything.

He did not intend to hurt her feelings, nor was he rude. He was exercising his right to privacy. Our advice stands.

You are invited to a Public Dedication of

Temple B’nai Ephraim December 11, 2010 10:00 AM ñ Service & Dedication

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). You emulate a wellrespected leader. You strive to acquire this one’s stellar listening skills and ability to reply honestly to others in a way that makes them feel satisfied and maybe even important.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you want to keep a secret, don’t tell it to a known blabbermouth. Right about now, you have something to publicize. You can be sure everyone will hear it if you call it a “secret” and tell it to said blabbermouth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s something you would love to do if you only had the money. Pretend you do have the money, and keep dreaming about this. It is possible. You just have to believe.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you’re not getting through to someone, the usual reaction is to raise the v o l u m e . Tr y a n o t h e r approach today. Back off.

Walk away. You’ll be most effective in making your point.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Remember, you’re going after a certain goal. Don’t stubbornly stick to your path to such a degree that you won’t get off of it when you see that there’s a better,

HOLIDAY MATHIS

quicker way to get to your goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You’ll receive valuable views from others, though it comes in a rough form. If only people could communicate more directly and give you only what you need. Since they can’t, you’ll have to sort through the muck to find the gems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Humility is the best antidote to the kinds of problems you encounter today. When you consider a situation without pride or prejudice, you see a smart, quick way to get what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you do out of the goodness of your heart is so rewarding to you that you wouldn’t even want any other kind of reward for it.

That would only cheapen the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). There’s something you know would enrich your life. Perhaps it’s read-

ing a book, volunteering a service or having children.

Do not put this off until you have the time. You may never have the time. Do it now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You can do something truly spectacular with an upcoming presentation or event. This happens only through a lot of unglamorous labor. The time you spend in preparation will make all the difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will get comments you were not expecting, and this may catch you off guard.

You’ll handle your surprise with grace and will be able to make the most of the opinions you gather.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As ridiculous as some people may seem about keeping silly little personal policies and rules, you have to recognize that a boundary is a boundary. Cross at your peril.

Power play, penalty kill lead way in Bobcats victory Bismarck scores two with extra man, doesn’t allow a goal in 7 PK chances

seven of their power-play opportunities in a 5-1 NAHL victory at the VFW Sports Center.

Four of those power-play stops came in the second period, while Bismarck held a 3-0 lead.

“Our guys really stepped up on the penalty kill tonight, especially in the sec-

ond period when (the Wings) had several opportunities to get back in the game,” said Sedevie, whose team improved to 15-8-1 and remained one point behind first-place Owatonna in the Central Division standings.

“The power play and the penalty kill are so important.

They’re difference makers.

That’s why we work hard on them every day. Tonight we were able to take advantage of some of our chances, while denying them on all of theirs.”

Bismarck goaltender Ryan Faragher was brilliant during the penalty kill, and the entire game for that matt e r. T h e Fo r t Fr a n c e s ,

Lacking consistency Wizards unable to come all the way back late

Baley’s big plays Marauder does it late on both ends of floor

By CINDY PETERSON Bismarck Tribune St. Cloud State threatened the University of Mary’s perfect record on Friday night at the McDowell Activity Center.

U-Mary guard Baley Johnson got defensive.

Johnson provided the Marauders with two big defensive plays and a big 3pointer during overtime to help his team record an 8481 victory in Northern Sun men’s basketball action.

The U-Mary men remained unbeaten on the season at 5-0. The U-Mary women dropped a 73-71 heartbreaker to the St. Cloud State women. It was the NSIC opener for both teams.

St. Cloud State guard Ta y l o r W i t t g a v e t h e Huskies a 75-74 lead with a jumper from the left baseline with 2:55 remaining.

On U-Mary’s next possession, Johnson lined up to the hoop from the right wing and drained a 3pointer with 2:41 to go to give the Marauders a 77-75 advantage. It was Johnson’s

U-Mary men 84, St. Cloud State 81, OT first and only points of the contest, and it was a lead U-Mary didn’t relinquish.

“We do motion shots every day,” said Johnson, a 6-foot-3 junior from Des Moines, Iowa. “I saw the opening. They thought I wasn’t a shooter, and I’m not saying I am. I got my feet set. Followed through.

It went in.”

After Johnson’s field goal, he breathed some life into U-Mar y with his defensive play, causing two steals. The first one led to a three-point play from Jalen Jaspers with 1:46 to go and to put the Marauders up 80-75. The second defensive play led to an Eric Erdmann field goal from the right wing with 23 seconds remaining to put U-Mary up 82-79.

“I pride myself on my defense,” Johnson said.

“I’m usually not a scoring threat. I saw an opportunity on the first steal and gambled a little bit. I like to Continued on 4D

If there is one thing the D a k o t a W i z a rd s h a v e proven this season, it’s that they’re resilient.

But they’re still not consistent. Until they can be, the Wizards are likely to have a lot of comebacks fall short, which happened in Dakota’s 97-88 loss to Reno on Friday.

The Wizards overcame a 16-2 deficit at the start of the game and took the lead.

Then, after falling apart again, they nearly came all the way back from a 20point deficit in the fourth quarter.

But the erratic play that dug those holes is lethal when it comes against a team as good as the Bighorns. At 6-0, Reno is the last remaining unbeaten club in the D-League. “(Reno) is a great team,” Wizards coach Rory White said. “They’re 6-0 right now.

You can’t take possessions off. We fell asleep on a couple of offensive rebounds, a couple of back cuts. You just can’t afford that against a team like that.”

The Bighorns looked ready to run the Wizards (15) out of the gym while scoring 16 of the game’s first 18 points. Patrick Ewing Jr., scored seven of his 13 points in that opening surge.

B u t Wa l t e r S h a r p e helped revive his new team. The power forward, making his Dakota debut after being acquired from Idaho earlier this week, immediately gave the Wizards a spark.

Sharpe hit a jumper from the top of the key and made a couple of dunks.

Stevens standout closes in on crown Rapid City senior looks for fifth Lions title

By STEVE THOMAS Bismarck Tribune

TOM STROMME/Tribune

Fargo North’s Delson Saintal, left, battles Bismarck’s Drew Kary in an 189-pound match at the Mandan Lions Tournament on Friday.

Kris Klapprodt knows all about the thrill of w i n n i n g . H e’s w o n wrestling championships on the state, regional and national level.

Now, the senior 171pounder from Rapid City, S.D., is on the verge of pulling off something

he’s never accomplished before.

Klapprodt owns four individual championship trophies from the Mandan Lions Tournament, but none of those has been accompanied by a team title. In fact, Stevens has never won the championship in the Lions tourney, now in its 40th year.

Klapprodt gave no indication he’s let up. He posted a 14-second pin, a 32-second pin and a technical fall in Friday’s three rounds of round-

INSIDE Results from the Mandan Lions tournament, Page 4D robin competition.

And Stevens ended the first day of competition in first place with 94 points. Bismarck, a 22time Lions champion, stands close behind in second place with 90.5.

Defending champion Sturgis, the winner four of the last five years, is in

third place with 73.5.

Klapprodt, who has accepted a wrestling scholarship to the University of Iowa, has some ambitious goals for his final season at Stevens.

“I do want to have a state team title, and an individual title, also,” said Klapprodt, who is also a football standout for the Raiders. “I also want to leave a legacy of being a very intense and aggressive wrestler.”

There should be no problem with that.

Freshmen have created a quick spark for Bison FARGO (AP) — First, a history lesson: North Dakota State won a 1983 Division II national football championship behind the freshmen backfield of quarterback Jeff Bentrim and running backs James Molstre and Chad Stark.

Now, a historical perspective. The five Bison freshmen who will start today when NDSU plays at Montana State in the second round of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoffs may not have the resume of the Big Three. But their contributions as a whole, at the least, would rival ’83 as one of the best freshman classes ever.

Certainly, it contradicts the common-held belief that winning seasons lead to quality recruits. NDSU went 3-8 last season.

“No, not at all,” said Billy Turner, a true freshman offensive lineman who has started nine games this sea-

Redshirt freshmen quarterbacks will be the key BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Two redshirt freshmen will be calling the signals when Montana State hosts North Dakota State in the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs today.

Bobcat quarterback Denarius McGhee averages 267 yards passing and has thrown for 22 touchdowns this season, while North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen averages 115 yards passing and has thrown for six scores.

A key player in the Bison offense is halfback D.J. McNorton, who averages 102 yards rushing and 33 yards receiving and has 13 touchdowns this season.

Orenzo Davis is averaging 97 yards rushing and has nine touchdowns, while three Bobcat receivers average about 50 yards per game and have a total of 12 scores.

The game kicks off at 1 p.m. in Bozeman. The winner meets the winner of the Southeast Missouri State-Eastern Washington game next Saturday.

UP NEXT WHO: NDSU vs. Montana State WHAT: Second-round playoffs WHEN: 1 p.m., today WHERE: Bobcat Stadium, Bozeman, Mont.

ON: NBC TV and KXMR radio son. “I knew from the past of watching Bison football, hearing about Bison football and the tradition they had going up here that it would only be a year or two before we were back to where we belong.”

The Bison went 10-1 and 10-1 in 2006 and 2007, yet only linebacker Preston Evans from the ’07 signing day class will start against Montana State. And Evans played as a true freshman.

The ’06 class is better, with

seven starters.

Bison head coach Craig Bohl said the relationship to winning and recruiting is subjective. He was an assistant at the University of Nebraska in the 1990s when the Cornhuskers won the Fiesta Bowl and that team was considered one of the

best in college football history.

“And we had a hard time recruiting that year,” he said.

“So every year is a different type of year.”

The Bison may have hit the jackpot with this group of freshmen, a combination of redshirts and first-year

Turner is on pace to be a four-year starter, as are five of his teammates. For the record, the 1983 team had nine freshmen starters.

“If we keep developing, we’re going to have a bright future,” said freshman linebacker Grant Olson. “But we’re not looking to next year. We’re focusing on the now. We’ll wait until after the season to worry about the future.”

In line for a big win: Woods extends lead in Chevron Challenge

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Tiger Woods is starting look like his old self at the Chevron World Challenge.

Woods got off to a blazing start Friday and a solid putting stroke enabled him to play bogey-free in the second round for a 6-under 66 that gave him a four-shot lead going into the weekend of his final tournament this year.

Woods was at 13-under 131, his best 36-hole score this year by six shots. And the four-shot lead over U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell had to be a refreshing change for a guy who has been at

least nine shots back through 36 holes in seven tournaments this year.

“I’ve been here before, so it’s not a strange feeling,” Woods said. “It’s just one of those things where tomorrow is the same game plan, just go out there and plot my way along and take care of the par 5s.”

He did that again on a pleasant day in the Conejo Valley, and now has played the five par 5s at Sherwood Country Club in 10 under through two rounds. That included an eagle on the second hole, and perhaps Woods’ most impressive shot of the day, if not the year. He hit a 4-iron from a hanging lie so severe that it caused Woods to stumble down the hill after impact.

The ball landed 8 feet away to the right of the pin.

And on the next hole, when Woods made a superb par save with a putter through a swale to about 3 feet, caddie Steve Williams walked off the green and said, “The tide is turning.”

McDowell keeps plugging away in his sixth straight week of competition, playing well enough to keep pace except for a few mistakes. He took a double bogey on the ninth hole, and failed to save par from a bunker on the 18th.

He was at 9-under 135, and will be paired with Woods in the final group Saturday.

“Sometimes in a four-round tournament, you get a round

where you don’t really play your best,” McDowell said. “To shoot 3 under and not play my best, I’m pretty happy with that.”

Rory McIlroy played with Woods for the first time in competition — the Skins Game at the Memorial d o e s n’t c o u n t — a n d w a s impressed with what he saw. McIlroy caught flak at the Ryder Cup for saying he would love to play Woods if his game didn’t improve, although he doesn’t regret what he said — even Woods would agree with the “if his game didn’t improve” part — and both played well.

McIlroy only fell apart at the end.

He hit 5-wood on the par-5 16th

that covered the flag and just went over the back of the green. On firm turf, however, he hit a thin chip some 20 feet away, narrowly missed the birdie putt, then watched his 2½-foot par putt circle the cup and stay out.

LPGA Tour Championship ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Amy Yang held firm atop the leaderboard at the LPGA Tour Championship, taking a three-shot lead by the time the second round was called for darkness.

Yang finished with a 3-under 69 on Friday. Maria Hjorth (68) and Seon Hwa Lee (73) were three back.

World No. 1 Jiyai Shin (75) is 8-over par and projected to make the cut.

Wizards

Bobcats win

Continued from 1D He even made a nice pass to Mike Anderson for a slam dunk. Powered by a 12-0 run, the Wizards were up 30-28 by the end of the first quarter.

Sharpe, who contributed eight points in that period and finished with 13, to go with five rebounds and five assists.

“He hasn’t played since last Saturday, so I knew the second half was going to be a factor for him,” White said. “He took 3-point shots a little too much in the second half, but I’m not worried about that too much because he’s going to help this team quite a bit.”

The game stayed tight until midway through the third quarter, when the Dakota offense suddenly went dead.

After a baseline jumper by Renaldo Major with 7:03 to play in the third, the Wizards made just one field goal in the next 10:02.

That allowed Reno to go on a 24-3 run, turning a onepoint deficit into an 83-63 lead.

The drought was reminiscent of Dakota’s last home game, when the Wizards scored just three points in the final 7:37.

“It’s lack of concentration,” White said. “You’ve got to have a floor leader out there that’s an extension me, to know what plays to run, who to take advantage of. They’re opposite of me in the second half, so I can’t really control the offense.

“It’s a learning curve. I’ve got to teach them.”

The Wizards did have

“They say the best penalty killer is the goaltender,” Sedevie said.

“Ryan’s been solid all year. He’s our leader and he played like one tonight.”

The Bobcats, who defeated Aberdeen for the fourth time in seven meetings, scored on two of their first three powerp l a y o p p o r t u n i t i e s.

F r a n k D e Au g u s t i n e buried the puck with 17:44 to play in the first period after taking a nice centering pass from John Furgele. The second power-play goal came off the stick of Tom Rizzardo with 18:44 remaining in the third. The goal made it 5-0.

“The power play is something we’ve been struggling with, so it was good to see us take advantage of some chances,” Sedevie said.

“Getting that first one early in the game set the tone for us.”

The Bobcats added two more goals before the first period expired.

Sam Dougherty lit the lamp at the 16:09 mark, and DeAugustine netted his second goal with 11:21 remaining. DeAugustine’s 10th and 11th goals of the season pulled him into a tie for the team lead with Matt Gates.

“We came out and played with lots of intensity,” Sedevie said. “We

Spurred on by some terrific defense, the Wizards got back in it with a 16-2 spurt. Darren Cooper contributed a pair of 3-pointers in that stretch, and Sharpe added five free throws.

The Wizards got as close as 90-86, with 2:38 to go, but missed several chances to make it a one-possession game.

Aaron Miles helped Reno salt it away, hitting a pair of free throws, then making a steal that led to a layup by D.J. Strawberry. Miles finished with 18 points and seven assists.

“You’ve got to play 48 minutes, not 24, not 36. That’s what’s killing us right now — we play in spurts,” White said.

“Once we get there, we relax and all of a sudden they go on another run. You’ve got be

consistent, play across the board, play evenly.”

Chris Johnson had 17 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for the Wizards, while Major chipped in 17 points.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Wizards, who travel to Iowa to take on the 6-1 Energy on Sunday.

“We have to find a way,” White said. “We have to keep working hard. The main thing is to watch film so they see what they’re doing wrong.”

■ CHANGES COMING: White said to expect some roster shuffling in the near future.

“I’m not going to hold back,’ White said. “We need a point guard, and we need another outside shooter, a veteran who when it comes down to these stretches stays

confident and won’t get rattled.

■ MASKED MAN: Wizards guard Willie Kemp was wearing a mask. Kemp broke his nose in four places in a practice collision with Cooper.

However, the Bismarck coach was frustrated with his team’s performance in the second period.

“I’m happy about the penalty kill, but we were undisciplined and we can’t have that,” he said.

“We played very well in the first period, but then we lost our focus. We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties.

Fortunately, none of them hurt us.”

Bryce Schmitt scored Bismarck’s other goal with 19:12 remaining in the third period.

Cooper wins calf roping in NFR debut LAS VEGAS (AP) — Calf roper Clif Cooper won in his National Finals Rodeo debut Thursday night, taking the first round with a 7.9-second run.

Cooper, from Decatur, Texas, is one of three calf roping brothers who qualified for the NFR. Younger brother Tuf, second in the world standings, was fourth in 9.50, and Clint Cooper was 11th at 17.8.

“I was telling my brother out back right before I roped that I wasn’t nervous, for some reason,” Clif Cooper said. “It really surprised me because I thought I’d have those jitters, those butterflies. I prepared really, really hard, and I felt good.”

Trevor Brazile, also from Decatur, was seventh at 10.10.

He’s the world leader with $142,736.

Fred Whitfield of Hockley, Texas, making his 19th NFR appearance, was third in 9.10.

In saddle bronc riding, Dickinson’s Shaun Stroh finished third with an 86. He won $10,451.

In steer wrestling, Berthold’s Dane Hanna sits in 13th after a first-round 6.0.

In bareback riding, Joe Gunderson of Agar, S.D, also won in his NFR debut, scoring 88 points on Good Times.

“This whole year has been a dream come true for me, and I’ve been fortunate with the way everything’s gone,” Gunderson said. “I don’t have anything to complain about, and the way the finals have started it can’t get any better than

that.”

In saddle bronc riding, defending world champion Jesse Kruse of Great Falls, Mont., won the opening round with an 87 on Lipstick & Whiskey.

World leader Wade Sundell of Boxholm, Iowa, was second with an 86.5 on Vidalla. Kruse, appearing in his second NFR, is fifth in the standings, but only $13,837 behind Sundell.

“It’s (being the defending world champ) not a whole lot different, aside from that they announce you as the world champion,” Kruse said. “It starts all over right here pretty much, and everybody has to bear down and go after it because everybody has a chance.”

In steer wrestling, Billy Bugenig of Ferndale, Calif., notched his first NFR win with a 3.4-second run.

“This is quicker than any start we got all year,” Bugenig said. “When I went to Luke’s (Branquinho), and Wade’s (Sumpter) and Kenneth’s (Lewis) to practice, I thought I (had) a good start, and they’d all tell me I missed it by a foot and that I had to go faster. I never really felt like I could go as fast as they were saying. It felt like I was going to break the barrier, but I guess I didn’t.”

Greenway on rise EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — Chad Greenway’s career could have been over before it started.

He was an eager rookie in 2006, a first-round draft pick from tiny Mt. Vernon, S.D., who was finally realizing his dream of playing for the Minnesota Vikings. Amped up for his first play, Greenway tore up his knee on the opening kickoff of the Vikings preseason opener.

The rehab would keep him out for his entire rookie season, and there were days when Greenway wondered if he’d ever make it all the way back.

“You always have a little bit of doubt creep in,” Greenway said. “For one thing I had never played in the NFL when I had the injury. So you never really know what’s going to happen. You don’t know what kind of player you’re going to be. You don’t have the chance to go prove yourself before you got injured. But I think I took the approach that I can’t do anything about it. You’ve just got to fight back as hard as you can.”

He’s been scratching and clawing for five years now, and the work ethic borne on the family farm in rural South Dakota has officially made Greenway one of the top linebackers in the league, a bright spot in what has been a disappointing season for the Vikings.

Greenway has 108 tackles,

ranking him third in the NFL and tops in the NFC, ahead of such well-known tackling demons as San Francisco’s Patrick Willis, Baltimore’s Ray Lewis and Washington’s London Fletcher as he chases his first Pro Bowl appearance.

“He’s having a Pro Bowl season,” said Vikings interim head coach Leslie Frazier, who has been Greenway’s defensive coordinator the last three seasons. “I hope he gets the attention that he deserves. He’s having a great season.”

Attention has never been high on Greenway’s list of priorities. He grew up working 18hour days on that farm, long, exhausting summer days that actually made him yearn for t h e s c h o o l Greenway year to come.

He starred on the nine-man football team and, upon graduating with 28 classmates from Mt. Vernon, went on to a superb career at Iowa.

The Vikings drafted him 17th overall in 2006, and from that point forward, Greenway set a goal of consistent improvement from one year to the next — a practical approach from practical workhorse.

Over the last five years,

Peterson, Harvin questionable EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — Minnesota’s three best offensive players, running back Adrian Peterson, receiver Percy Harvin and left guard Steve Hutchinson, are listed as questionable for the Vikings game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Peterson, the third-leading rusher in the NFL, has a sprained right ankle.

Hutchinson, the perennial Pro Bowl left guard, has a broken right thumb. And Harvin, their most versatile player and a Pro Bowl kick returner, went to the doctor Friday while dealing with migraine headaches.

Coach Leslie Frazier said he was optimistic Peterson will play after he practiced on a limited basis Friday.

It’s not quite as clear-cut for Hutchinson, who did not practice all week and is trying to figure out how effective he can be with a cast on his right hand. Harvin, receiver Greg Lewis (concussion) and defensive end Ray Edwards (high ankle sprain) will be game-time decisions

as well.

Frazier said Harvin got the migraine, which has been a recurring problem for him for most of his adult life, during practice Wednesday and will be evaluated further Saturday. He hasn’t missed a game this season despite having the headaches several times during the week of practice.

If Hutchinson cannot play, rookie fifth-round pick Chris DeGeare would get the first start of his career.

Peterson was injured in the second quarter Sunday at Washington, and rookie Toby Gerhart responded with the best game of his career, rushing for 76 yards and his first touchdown in the 17-13 win.

Cornerback Chris Cook was ruled out, with team doctors wanting him to rest both knees. The rookie tore the meniscus in both knees earlier this year.

“Just advice that we got from the doctors where he needs to rest,” Frazier said.

“He needs to get off his legs.”

Joe Gunderson of Agar, S.D., won in his National Finals Rodeo debut Thursday, scoring an 88 in bareback riding. $306,862. He has a $169,400 lead over second-place Curtis Cassidy of Donalda, Alberta.

Brazile is trying to break the record he shares with Ty Murray by winning an eighth allaround gold buckle.

In team roping, header Colby Lovell of Madisonville, Texas, and heeler Kory Koontz of Sudan, Texas, won with a 4.1-second run. World header

leader Clay Tryan of Billings, Mont., and heeler leader Travis Graves of Jay, Okla., earned a paycheck by coming in sixth in 5.3.

In barrel racing, Lisa Lockhart of Oelrichs, S.D., won with a time of 13.84 seconds. World leader Sherry Cervi of Marana, Ariz., the career earnings leader in barrel racing, was 10th at 14.30.

Just how much longer this will be home is up for discussion. Greenway is in the final year of his rookie contract and will be coveted on the free agent market. He and his family hope he stays in purple, but no long-term extension has been worked out.

“There’s going to be emotions involved,” he said.

“Everyone likes to say it’s strictly a business decision but you have to come down to what’s best for you, what’s best for your family and what’s best for your future and weigh your options. We have five games left here to see what happens with the team and just move forward from there.”

When he went down as a rookie, Greenway leaned on his hardworking roots, throwing himself into the arduous rehab process.

Along the way, he has earned the respect of veterans who have watched him grow up before their eyes.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Relentless linebacker Clay Matthews can’t stand coming out for one play in a game and he rarely does.

Practice is a different story for the NFL’s sacks leader.

“Fortunately for me, missing practice isn’t the worst thing,” Matthews said.

He made that comment before the Green Bay Packers’ season started, after he had missed most of the preseason because of a hamstring injury.

Those words are applicable again a few months later.

The Packers have been holding back Matthews, who has a bothersome shin injury, on the practice field the last several weeks to preserve him for game day.

“Ideally, we’d like to have him out there taking all of the reps,” defensive coordinator Dom Capers said Friday. “But, with where we are right now, that’s not the case.”

Matthews was a limited participant in all three days of practice this week as the Packers prepare to play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. That also was the case before each of the previous three games after Matthews felt some discomfort in his left shin following Green Bay’s win against the New York Jets on Oct. 31.

“I’d say it’s more a nagging thing,” Matthews said.

“It’s just sore and constantly

UP NEXT WHO: San Francisco vs. Green Bay WHAT: Week 13 — 2010 season WHEN: Noon, Sunday WHERE: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis ON: FOX TV, KFYR radio annoying than anything else. It’s fine, and I’m fine on Sundays. It’s a little sore after the game, and it’s all about getting it right the next week.”

Matthews, who has 111/2 sacks, is probable for Sunday. Instead of potentially aggravating the injury further, Matthews does considerably more observing than moving in practice.

Capers said Matthews has been limited to just participating in the jog-through period at the start of practice. Matthews then is relegated to the sideline as his teammates put on the helmets.

“He’s right there with the script and watching things,” Capers said. “But, it’s not like you’re out there doing it. I think that, obviously, you would like to have the guy out there practicing because you get a look at all the different plays that you’ve seen and the angles and people coming at you and all those things.”

Matthews has compen-

sated for the missed practice time with a greater attention to studying film of the opponents. “ O f course, you’d like to have Matthews reps out there in which you could see things live,” Matthews said.

“It’s tough. But, aside from missing time and seeing things develop, Sundays is really when it counts. If I’m doing everything to get healthy for Sunday, then that’s all that matters.”

Coach Mike McCarthy suggested this week that Matthews would be on the reduced practice schedule the rest of the season.

“The early indication is it’s probably going to be a season-long issue with Clay,” said McCarthy, referring to the shin injury.

“That’s why we’ve taken the approach we have here in the last couple weeks.”

Matthews said the shin flared up after he had reinjured the hamstring in the same left leg three weeks earlier during an overtime loss against the Washington Redskins The hamstring injury kept Matthews out the following game.

Although Matthews has been a full-time player since returning, his production has dipped somewhat.

Stocks recover after report NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks staged a late afternoon rally after spending most of the day weighed down by an unexpected rise in the unemployment rate. Indexes wound up closing higher for the third straight day.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 2.6 percent for the week, its best weekly gain since hitting a 2010 high on Nov. 5. The Dow is now just 0.5 percent below that level.

Materials and energy companies led the rebound.

Newmont Mining Corp. gained 3.1 percent and oil field services company Schlumberger Ltd. added 2.5 percent. The dollar fell 1.4 percent against an index of six other currencies. Oil and gold prices rose.

Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group in Westport, Conn. said the relationship between a weaker dollar and stronger stocks followed a recent trend.

“You don’t see it every day, but it’s a clear inverse

WASHINGTON — The nation added only a trickle of jobs in November, far fewer than experts had expected and a reminder that the economy is still recovering only fitfully.

The job market was weak all around: Stores, factories, construction companies and financial firms all cut positions. The unemployment rate nudged closer to double digits again — 9.8 percent, after three straight months at 9.6 percent.

Employers added 39,000 jobs for the month, the Labor Department said Friday.

They added 172,000 in October — enough to qualify as a hiring spurt in this anemic post-recession economy.

“Just when it was safe to believe the labor market was firming and job growth was coming back, we were reminded that this recovery is proceeding with fits and starts,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.

The report caught economists off guard. They had predicted 150,000 new jobs, based on a raft of recent positive reports that showed busier factories, rising auto sales and a healthy start to the holiday shopping season.

The stock market seemed to take the bad news in stride.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up about 20 points at 11,382, not far from its post-recession high.

The November jobs report may prove to be just a temporary setback because economic recoveries are often bumpy. But for now, hiring is so weak that the economy isn’t creating even enough jobs to keep up with the growth in the work force.

It takes about 125,000 new jobs a month to do that and keep the unemployment rate stable. Economists say it would take up to 300,000 new jobs a month to reduce the unemployment rate significantly.

“It will be a long haul back to normalcy,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

The rate, now at a sevenmonth high, has exceeded 9 percent for 19 straight

months, the longest stretch on record. It could pass 10 percent, as it did briefly in late 2009, again next year.

“Employers are still cautious about hiring and are testing waters before taking on full-time employees,” said Sung Won Sohn, economist at California State University, Channel Islands.

Vice President Joe Biden called the unemployment figures disappointing and pressed lawmakers to extend long-term unemployment benefits, which expired this week, before Congress adjourns for the year.

Programs that provide up to 99 weeks of extra aid to nearly 2 million unemployed people expired at the end of November because Congress failed to extend them. Some of them are starting to lose their benefits as the holidays arrive.

Congressional negotiators are considering extending tax cuts temporarily, for one to three years. The tax cuts, enacted in 2001 and 2003, are set to expire at year’s end. Democrats and the White House also want to

extend unemployment benefits for one year as well as several tax credits included in the 2009 economic stimulus.

The jobs picture may actually be brighter than the report suggested because it was more difficult than usual for the government to come up with the November figure.

That’s because the previous two Novembers were volatile, and the government uses previous years to make seasonal adjustments in the figures.

As disappointing as November’s report was, erratic job growth after a recession is hardly unusual.

After the 2001 downturn officially ended, for instance, the economy lost jobs in 16 of the following 24 months.

Private companies, the backbone of the economy, created only 50,000 jobs for the month. That was down from 160,000 in October and the fewest since January. Private sector hiring has at least grown for 11 straight months.

Yet companies are still not prepared to hire in great numbers. They have the cash to do it — corporations had amassed $1.84 trillion of it as of June 30, a record — but are not yet satisfied that customer demand is really back.

Despite robust sales growth at Allied PhotoChemical, a Michigan manufacturer of color coatings used on golf clubs and other things, CEO Mike Kelly has not hired full-time workers. Instead, he brought on a few people part time and without benefits to do accounting, handle legal matters and oversee the website. Kelly said he is too worried about the economy to bulk up hiring now.

“The economy is improving, but only one slow step at a time,” he said.
