While no one was saying the worst was over for the staggering financial system or troubled economy, buyers returned to the stock market with gusto, with some saying stocks had been driven down to fire-sale prices. The surge came as executives from leading banks were summoned by the Bush administration to Washington to work out a plan to get loans, the lifeblood of the economy, moving again. And it followed signals that European governments would put nearly $2 trillion on the line to protect their own banks.

Wall Street stormed back from last 1933, and by points it shattered the week’s devastating losses, sending the Dow Jones industrials soaring a previous record for a one-day gain of 499, during during the waning days of nearly inconceivable 936 points.

We still have many challenges up ahead.” Stocks opened sharply higher and never looked back. The Dow was up more than 400 points in the opening minutes of trading, and by lunch hour had crossed back through the same 9,000 level it crashed below last week. The rally intensified in the final hour of trading. In the moments before the closing bell rang, boisterous traders sounded horns on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and raucous applause broke out. “I would say this is closer to the bottom. I can’t say this is the bottom,” said Bill Schultz, chief investment officer at McQueen, Ball & Associates in Bethlehem, Pa. “I think it’s more relief, the rally today.” For Wall Street, it came not a moment too soon. The dismal week before wiped out about $2.4 trillion in shareholder wealth. The eight-day losing streak drained 2,400 points from the Dow, or 22 percent — roughly equal to the 1987 crash and enough to establish a bear market all on its own. U.S. stock market paper gains totaled $1.2 trillion Monday, according to the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which represents nearly all stocks traded in America. The massive rebound also pushed the Nasdaq composite index higher by 195 points, or nearly 12 percent, its second-biggest gain in percentage terms. The Standard and Poor’s 500, rose 104 points, its biggest point gain ever and an 11.5 percent gain, its greatest since 1933. About 3,030 stocks advanced on the New York Stock Exchange, while only about 160 declined — a reversal from last week, when declining stocks overwhelmed the gainers.

Authorities had been looking for salesman driving a blue or tan van after several people in the city reported the men as behaving strangely and being “pushy.” Wallace said the men were going door to door asking residents if they wanted to participate in a dish soap survey and also attempting to sell Kirby vacuums. Lt. Dave Wallace said the men were found at about 10 p.m. on Friday when their van was pulled over on Villard Street in Dickinson for having a broken taillight. Although authorities originally believed there may have been two separate groups, Wallace said it was just one group of salesmen. “It’s the same guys, they just have two different vehicles,” Wallace said. He said five of the individuals were from Colorado and one was Wyoming. The van had Wyoming license plates.

Police get reports of other thefts By Ashley Martin amartin@thedickinsonpress.com The Dickinson Police Department reported Dickinson’s Hillside Baptist Church on 10th Street West has been burglarized. According to the police report, there did not appear to be signs of forced entry and there was no damage done to the church, but $100 cash was taken. Church Secretary Stacy Norris reported the incident on Sunday, but it is unclear when the burglary actually occurred. Authorities said it is possible that the incident is related to similar burglaries that occurred last week at St. John’s Luther- an Church and St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Dickinson. Cash was taken from both churches. The police department received several other reports regarding thefts and break-ins over the weekend. According to the police report, a 40-inch flat screen TV and an Xbox 360 were stolen from Tyler Glick’s residence on Sixth Avenue Southwest in Dickinson. The items, which were reportedly taken between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturday, are worth a combined total of about $4,700. CHURCH/2 Democrat charges state Treasurer Kelly Schmidt with mismanaging Veterans’ Postwar Trust Fund By Janell Cole N.D. Capitol Bureau BISMARCK — Incumbent state Treasurer Kelly Schmidt is endangering the Veterans’ Postwar Trust Fund by putting its funds in risky investments, her opponent said Monday. “This fund is bleeding out and it needs to be stopped right now,” said Democrat Mitch Vance of Bismarck, who is seeking to unseat Schmidt, the Republican seeking her second term. He said the losses amount to at least $200,000. “This is not just paper losses. This will Index Local / 2 North Dakota / 3, 5 Obituaries / 4-5 Opinion / 6 Markets / 7 Jason Hopfauf President translate into loss of benefits,” Vance said. Schmidt countered that her investment choices are sound, pointing to the fact that the fund has lost less than most investments in this year’s stock market downturn. The fund is used for hardship grants to North Dakota veterans for glasses, hearing aids, dentures and rides to the Veterans Administration hospital in Fargo. Vance took his allegations to news conferences in Fargo and Bismarck on Monday and continues with another in Minot this morning. Weather Amusements / 8 Sports / 9-12 Classified / 12-14 Business / 15 Lifestyles / 16 He said that after Schmidt took office in January 2005, she took $2 million out of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, commonly referred to as TIPS, which provide a hedge against inflation plus a modest return, and put them into marketable securities and bonds through a retail brokerage, Edward Jones. Vance said the proper manager of the fund is not a retail broker but the state Retirement and Investment Office, which would not be charges fees as high as Edward Jones and would not expose the fund to risk.

BISMARCK (AP) — Residents of Beach were not seeing a beach when they looked out their windows Monday. They were seeing snowmen. The National Weather Service said the southwestern North Dakota town of about 1,200 people had 11 inches of snow after a storm that hit Saturday night and Sunday morning. “It kind of just falls off the roofs and hits the ground,” said Ivy Schantz, a receptionist at the Beach Co-op Grain Co. “It looks just like January out there,” she said. “We woke up (Sunday) and there it was.” Josh Hammond, an agronomist at the company, took his little boy out to enjoy the snow. he said the moisture is welcome, but too much wind could hurt safflowers and sunflowers still standing, making it hard to combine them. “It depends on how fast the snow melts,” he said. “This is perfect for the winter wheat that got seeded.” Williston got 7 inches of snow, knocking out power to some parts of the city when the wet snow caused tree branches to break and damage power lines. Montana-Dakota Utilities spokesman Mark Hanson said the company started getting calls about power outages at about 6 a.m. Sunday.

Ag commissioner seeks to provide crop insurance for buckwheat BISMARCK (AP) — Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson wants the federal government to provide crop insurance for buckwheat. Johnson wrote a letter to the Agriculture Department’s Risk Management Agency. He says plans to offer buckwheat insurance have been delayed by federal budget restrictions, but he’s urging the government to find a way. Johnson says rising production costs will lead farmers to switch to crops that are insured, and that will hurt the buckwheat industry. He says North Dakota is the leading buckwheat-producing state with about 40,000 acres.

Low-lying streets and roads were under water. The Wahpeton area reported nearly 5 inches of rain, and the valley’s sugar beet harvest was halted. Grand Forks set two rainfall records over the weekend. On Saturday, 1.16 inches fell, topping the mark set in 1961. That was followed by 1.12 inches Sunday, beating a 1981 record. Fargo reported a record 1.23 inches of rain on Saturday. American Crystal Sugar spokesman Jeff Schweitzer estimated about 68 percent of the co-op’s sugar beet harvest was complete, while Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative Vice President Tom Knudsen said about a quarter of the co-op’s beets were harvested before rain shut down operations. “We are sitting now on a lot of flooded fields that need to drain, and after they drain they need to dry, and after they dry, we need to get back to work and get the beets lifted,” Knudsen said. A freeze warning was in effect for Monday night, with highs Tuesday expected to range from 45 to 60. Treasurer / from Page 1 Vance said 72 percent of the fund’s total assets are in the marketable securities. He said that, had funds remained in TIPS, it would still be making money, He said that the fund, which was worth nearly $4.6 million in December 2004, is now worth $4.3 million. TIPS worth nearly $4.6 million in December 2004 are now worth $5.2 million. Schmidt said that currently, bonds and marketable securities at Edward Jones are worth about $3.18 million; the money market account, also at Edward Jones, is $175,800; CDs at various North Dakota banks are worth $1.07 million and a money market account at the Bank of North Dakota has $38,800, for a total of slightly less than $4.5 million. Vance said state auditors scolded Schmidt this year for not complying with “the prudent investor rule” in state law, citing working papers state auditors generated during a regular audit of the treasurer’s office for 2005-07 biennium. The documents spell out the losses incurred, the higher fees at Edward Jones and say Schmidt “is willing to accept up to a 20 percent loss in one year. Our interpretation of the prudent investment rule in (state law) does not include investing in securities that could lose 20 percent in one year. It appears the (state treasurer) has taken on more risk than a prudent investor would be willing to take.” Schmidt said she was given no such warning. That is probably true, said the auditor in charge of the audit. The statement in the working papers did not make it into the actual audit report, said Paul Welk, manager of the state audit section of the state Auditor’s Office, because there was not enough time elapsed to reach conclusions. Instead, it was made note for follow-up in future audits, he said. Janell Cole works for Forum Communications Co., which owns The Dickinson Press.

(AP) — A fire at the Western Sugar factory in Billings caused about $35,000 in damage. Firefighters were called to Western Sugar at about 10 p.m. Sunday after workers found a fire inside one of the factory’s pulp dryers. Fire Marshal Bill Tatum says machinery sustained moderate damage from fire and smoke. A Western Sugar employee was taken to Billings Clinic for treatment of minor smoke inhalation. His condition was unknown. Tatum says the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

And Sen. Byron Dorgan, DN.D., wants to double that impact. Dorgan announced Monday that his goal is for the research corridor initiative to create 10,000 additional jobs by 2015 from high-tech research and development that will attract new industries and build new jobs. A North Dakota State University study stated that between 2002 and 2006, 10,600 jobs paying an average of $56,000 a year were created because of the research corridor. The study also showed that the research corridor has had a $759 million economic impact in the region. “This is only a foundation and it is a foundation on which we are going to build very significant things,” Dorgan said. During the Red River Valley Research Corridor conference “Milestones and Horizons” in Fargo on Monday, NDSU and University of North Dakota leaders discussed how the research corridor helps their universities. “It’s allowed us to do things that we simply would not have been able to do if we had to depend on traditional sources,” said NDSU President Joseph Chapman. The corridor has created enthusiasm in the faculty, staff AP Photo Dean Kamen of DEKA Research and Deelopment, talks about some of his company’s inventions on Monday during the Red River Valley Research Corridor conference in Fargo. and students, and has fostered international partnerships with a profound impact on NDSU, Chapman said. UND President Robert Kelley said the research corridor has also led to strong growth in science and technology at UND. The conference, co-hosted by Dorgan and the research corridor, drew more than 400 people. Dean Kamen, founder and president of DEKA Research and Development Corp., was one of the conference speakers. He holds more than 440 patents, including for the first wearable insulin pump for diabetics and for the Segway twowheeled transportation device. Kamen talked about his inventions and current projects, including a device to bring water to the poorest countries and a prosthetic arm that can be manipulated like a real arm. “Technology’s a really cool thing, if you use it wisely,” he said. Another speaker was J. Craig Venter, one of two scientists who led the Human Genome Project, and founder and president of the J. Craig Venter Institute, a not-for-profit research and support organization. He discussed human, microbial, plant and environmental genomic research, and alternative energy solutions through genomics. “Biology is pretty amazing and I think we’re just discovering some of the earliest components of what can be done,” Venter said.

Prosecutor reflects on Duncan case IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — U.S. Attorney Tom Moss has prosecuted some of Idaho’s most high-profile murders, and he’s put three people on death row. But his most recent murder case — against convicted child killer Joseph Duncan III — was the worst, he told the Post Register. “What Duncan did was so horrific, it’s just something you can’t ignore,” Moss said. “The thing about the Duncan case that made it worse ... it involved children. It involved multiple murders. It involved extensive planning and premeditation. It involved a person who was out to kidnap, abuse and kill children. And he is a person who is fairly intelligent. And something about all that just makes it very vile and very violent.” The case began in 2005, when the bodies of 13-year-old Slade Groene, his mother, Brenda Groene, and her fiance, Mark McKenzie, were discovered in a Coeur d’Alene home. The two youngest children in the home — then-8-year-old Shasta Groene and her 9-yearold brother, Dylan Groene — were missing. Duncan, a convicted pedophile originally from Tacoma, Wash., had slain the family so he could kidnap the two children. He took them to a remote Montana campsite where he tortured and abused them for weeks, videotaping some of the abuse. He shot Dylan Groene to death at the campsite, and a few days later took Shasta back to Coeur d’Alene. The girl was rescued after a waitress recognized her while the two were at a local restaurant and called police. Duncan, who had moved to Fargo, was convicted in state court of the murders at the Coeur d’Alene house, but the federal court handled the charges related to the kidnapping, abuse and Dylan’s murder. Duncan pleaded guilty to the federal charges, but Moss still had to prove to a jury that he deserved the death sentence. After a harrowing two-week hearing earlier this summer, the jury agreed that Duncan should be executed. Duncan’s intelligence makes him “especially evil,” Moss said. “He was a very evil person, a very wicked person,” Moss said. “And he fit that category, in my opinion. He preyed on children. He preyed on defenseless people.” The case was so graphic that jurors were offered counseling afterward, but Moss said he simply focused on the job he had to do. Police officers, pathologists and others who saw the evidence firsthand at the scene had a much tougher job in that respect than prosecutors, Moss said. “You have a job to do and that’s it,” he said. “I don’t want to sound overly heroic because there are people out there whose exposure is much worse than mine.” While still a Bingham County prosecutor, Moss prosecuted Randall Lynn McKinney, who was convicted and sentenced to die for the 1983 shooting death of 25-year-old Robert Bishop Jr., of Pocatello. Another case he handled resulted in the death penalty for Paul Ezra Rhoades, who in 1987 raped and murdered Idaho Falls teacher Susan Michelbacher. Western states woo unemployed workers from Michigan WALKER, Mich. (AP) — A shortage of workers in North Dakota and a surplus of unemployed Michigan residents brought recruiters to suburban Grand Rapids for a well-attended job fair. Tracy Finneman of the North Dakota Department of Commerce was surprised by Saturday’s turnout at the Mega Employment Expo. She says job fairs in North Dakota don’t draw nearly as many people, since most of them already have work. North Dakota’s seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate in August was 3.3 percent, and officials there project a shortage of 16,000 workers in the next two years. Michigan’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate that month was 8.9 percent, worst in the nation. Finneman tells The Grand Rapids Press she hopes the prospect of work in North Dakota brings hope to Michigan residents who are unemployed or concerned about losing their jobs. ® AccuWeather.com 5-Day Forecast for Dickinson TODAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY off on Wall Street last week was driven by fear that mistrustful banks were choking off the everyday loans that businesses use to buy supplies and pay their workers. Monday was the Columbus Day holiday, and the U.S. bond markets and banks were closed, making it difficult to gauge the reaction of the credit markets to the measures taken by world governments. The Bank of England said it would use up to $63 billion to help the three largest British banks strengthen their balance sheets. The Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank also jointly announced plans to work together to provide as much short-term money as necessary to help revive lending. The heads of the five biggest U.S. banks — Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America — were meeting at the Treasury Department with officials from Treasury and the Federal Reserve. The discussions are aimed at finalizing details on the rescue package Congress passed Oct. 3. That package started with the idea that the government would buy the bad mortgagerelated debt off the books of banks. It now includes provisions for the government to buy ownership stakes in banks, among other steps. It is coming together against the backdrop of a presidential election that has focused squarely on the economy. Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain are to meet for a final debate Wednesday night on Long Island, with the state of the nation’s finances sure to be at the top of the list. Consolidated volume on the New York Stock Exchange hit 7.1 billion shares, down from 11.2 billion during Friday’s session but still very heavy. suggesting there was less conviction in the buying than during last week’s selling. At the close, the Dow stood at 9,387.61. That’s still a far cry from its peak of 14,165, set a little more than a year ago — and history suggests Wall Street could have a long climb back to the top of the mountain. After the Black Monday crash of October 1987, it took the Dow until August 1989 to set a new all-time closing high, almost two years after its previous peak. The 1987 crash took stocks down 36 percent from their pick — comparable to the 40 percent decline in this round of turmoil. The Bush administration said it was moving quickly to implement its financial rescue package, including consulting with law firms about the mechanics of buying ownership shares in a broad number of banks to help get lending going again. Neel Kashkari, the assistant Treasury secretary in charge of the program, said Monday officials were also developing guidelines to govern the purchase of soured mortgagerelated assets. He gave few details about how the program will actually buy bad assets and bank stock. And Wall Street still has a lot to worry about, including a housing market that is still groping for a low point in prices and shoppers who are spooked by job losses and other ominous economic signs and are cutting back on their spending. “I think we had enough negatives last week that if the government steps in we could have a pretty nice run,” said Denis Amato, chief investment officer at Ancora Advisors. “Is it off to the races? No, I don’t think so. We have a lot of stuff to work through.” It was also too soon to say for sure whether lending was finally loosening up.

Therapy helps patients get kidney transplants WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly one in three patients who need a kidney transplant may never get one because their bodies are abnormally primed to attack a donated organ. Now doctors are trying new ways to outwit the immune system and save more of those so-called “highly sensitized” patients — often with kidneys donated by living donors, considered the optimal kind. “I feel very lucky. Our son saved my life,” said Cynthia Preloh of Arlington, Va., after an unusual combination of blood cleansing and a cancer drug allowed her to receive a kidney from her son that her body otherwise would have destroyed. It’s promising work that comes as the nation’s kidney distribution system is beginning a major overhaul. Together, the two efforts aim to make a long-needed dent in the years of waiting it can take to get a kidney transplant. That’s crucial, because “your chance of getting successfully transplanted decreases with time,” says Dr. Keith Melancon of Georgetown University Hospital, Preloh’s surgeon and a leader in the small but grow- ing field of incompatible kidney transplants. More than 77,000 people are on the national waiting list to receive a kidney from a deceased donor. Yet fewer than 17,000 transplants a year are performed, about 10,500 of them from deceased donors and just over 6,000 from living donors, relatives or friends who offer to help a specific patient. The wait can stretch four to five years, and more than 4,000 patients die on the waiting list each year. The United Network for Organ Sharing is considering some big changes to the sys- tem. There’s no formal proposal yet, but there are options under discussion. Wait times might be defined by kidney function deterioration rather than how early someone gets on the transplant list, to level the field for patients who don’t see a specialist right away. In addition to wait time, matches may weigh recipient and kidney age and medical conditions to maximize what’s “life years from transplant.” One kidney might last longer in an older person without diabetes than in a younger diabetic. AP Photo Firefighters extinguish a burning storage yard that ignited from a wind-drive brush fire in Los Angeles on Monday. Wildfires force frantic evacuations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two huge wildfires driven by strong Santa Ana winds burned into neighborhoods near Los Angeles on Monday, forcing frantic evacuations on smoke- and traffic-choked highways, destroying homes and causing at least two deaths. More than 1,000 firefighters and nine water-dropping aircraft battled the 5,300-acre Marek Fire at the northeast end of the San Fernando Valley, and the 3,000-acre Sesnon Fire in the Porter Ranch area at the west end. Winds blew up to 45 mph with gusts reaching 70 mph. Authorities confirmed more than three-dozen mobile homes burned at the Marek Fire and TV news helicopter crews counted about 10 homes destroyed by the Sesnon Fire. Both fires also consumed commercial sites. Firefighters were struggling with the resurgent, dayold Marek Fire when the new blaze erupted at midmorning a few miles to the west. “It is a blowtorch we can’t get in front of,” said Los Angeles County fire Inspector Frank Garrido. Fire officials alerted communities as far south as Malibu, 20 miles away, as an ominous dark plume streamed over rows of homes. Fire officials could not immediately estimate how many homes were in the path of the Sesnon Fire. Residents were not allowed to drive into one of Porter Ranch’s gated communities because officials wanted to keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. Instead they parked their cars, ran to their homes and carried out whatever they could carry in pillow cases, in their arms, sacks and suitcases. Some ran out clutching paintings. Los Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman warned people not to stay home after evacuation orders had been given, as the flames were moving so rapidly. “You may not be able to even outrun this fire,” Freeman said. Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Frank Garrido said one person was killed in a head-on collision around midday when police closed the 118 Freeway because of flames. TV news helicopters showed vehicles turning around and driving against traffic to use an onramp as an exit. Earlier, a fatality was discovered at the Marek Fire, an area where neighborhoods abut rugged canyonlands below the mountainous Angeles National forest. The man appeared to have been a transient living in a makeshift shelter, officials said. About 1,200 people evacuated due to the Marek Fire, which was just 5 percent contained. “We could have had an army there and it would not have stopped it,” Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Mario Rueda said. “Wind is king here, it’s dictating everything we are doing.” Mobile home park resident Glenn Bell said he and another park resident broke a padlock on an emergency exit gate to escape at daybreak. “If we hadn’t broke open that gate, there would be people dead up there,” he said. Olive View-UCLA Medical Center moved five of its most fragile patients to other hospitals. Spokeswoman Carla Nino said the four newborns and the fifth patient were on ventilators and were the most difficult to transport. Some other patients were discharged but the hospital decided it was not necessary to evacuate about 180 others. The dry and warm Santa Ana winds typically blow between October and February. As they whistle through Southern California canyons and valleys, they accelerate, drying out vegetation and hastening the spread of any fires that erupt. “This is what we feared the most,” Los Angeles County fire Capt. Mark Savage said. “The winds that were expected — they have arrived.” Dickinson Press Carriers with no complaints for 9 Months, Jan. - Sept.

But Craig Mundie couldn’t call, text or e-mail anyone with his own phone. “I’m sitting here with my cell phone and it doesn’t work here,” Mundie said Monday, after speaking to a group of employees. “This has a Bluetooth radio, a WiFi radio and GSM radio, and I can’t use it.” Mundie has spent 15 years leading Microsoft’s campaign to improve wireless broadband capacity in the United States and around the world. For the last several years, he’s been working with government regulators on the possibility of using the unused spectrum between television channels to deliver broadband access. The so-called “white spaces proposition” could help rural states like North Dakota, where companies don’t find it economical to build cell towers because of the small population. “To me, the power of this white spaces is that if you want to build a community alternative, where you could at least have the equivalent of a cell phone walkie-talkie capability just to make local calls in Fargo, that would probably make a lot of people happy,” Mundie said. “It at least creates an alternative.” Once the broadband problem is solved, Mundie expects people in rural areas to demand technology that will allow remote working capability. That means communication North Dakota in Brief Charges dropped against two men accused of rape in Cass County FARGO (AP) — Cass County prosecutors have dropped charges against two men accused of raping a Fargo woman in January. Emmanuel Addai (AW’-day) and Kofi Avortri each were charged with one felony count of gross sexual imposition. Avorti’s trial was scheduled to start on Tuesday and Addai’s trial had been set for Oct. 21. The men told police they had sex with the woman, but denied the rape charges. Minot police arrest men found in home MINOT (AP) — Minot police say a woman found two strange men in her apartment about 5 a.m. She told authorities one was taking a bath and the other was asleep in her couch. Sgt. Winston Black says the men, ages 24 and 21, were arrested on criminal trespass charges. He says authorities don’t know why they were in the woman’s apartment. Black says officers also found one of the men was wanted in Fargo for failure to pay fines and failure to appear in court. He says one of the men has a Minot address and the other is from Fort Totten. Prescribed burn held in park AP Photo Craig Mundie, left, chief research officer of Microsoft Corp., talks with the company’s Fargo campus employees Don Morton, center, and Tom Miller on Monday. systems will have to be linked, he said. “Today, in a simple sense, the closest form of a telepresence you have is your phone, or maybe a little Web cam, if you’re lucky. None of these are very natural,” Mundie said. “In your office, you have a computer and you have a phone, and they’re not integrated. “My belief is that the cost of these technologies can be driven down and novel ways of programming them from a software usage point of view will allow them to become more integrated,” he said. Mundie was in North Dakota to speak at a technology conference and visit the Fargo divi- sion, which handles software for businesses and other operations, including customer support, payroll and information technology. He cited his relationship with Doug Burgum, the former head of Microsoft’s Fargo operation, and Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. “I think the two of them conspired to decide to ask me to come and talk (at the conference),” Mundie said. “And I wanted to visit the Microsoft Fargo campus, so it was sort of a ‘twofer’ at that point.” Mundie joined Microsoft in 1992 to create and run the company’s consumer platforms division and eventually became a chief technical officer. He was promoted to his current post after Bill Gates announced he was giving up day-to-day duties of running the company. Mundie, who reports directly to CEO Steve Ballmer, currently oversees technology and research projects and works with government and business leaders around the world on technology policy and regulation. “It’s startling how often somebody would come up to me or Bill Gates and say, ‘Well, this software thing, I guess we’ve kind of seen it all,”‘ Mundie said. “It’s just hilarious because we’re just at the tip of the beginning of this thing. We haven’t seen it all.” Stenehjem, Hamm escape injury when vehicle strikes large deer at Anamoose By Janell Cole N.D. Capitol Bureau BISMARCK — Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm escaped injury Sunday afternoon when Stenehjem’s SUV struck a large deer near Anamoose, Stenehjem said. Stenehjem’s Cadillac Escalade has about $5,000 in damage to its left front corner. The buck ran off into a field and probably died, he said. The attorney general said he and Hamm were on their way to a District 7 Republican rally in Rugby when the accident happened about 3:30 p.m. Sunday on a paved road about five miles north of Anamoose and south of state Highway 19. Stenehjem said a large buck — “I’m thinking 12-point buck, at least”— emerged at a run from a corn field on the right side of the highway, ran parallel to his SUV for a short distance and then suddenly turned left and ran across ditch and onto the pavement in front of the vehicle. Stenehjem said that though he braked as soon as he saw the deer, he still struck its left hindquarters. The deer ran into another cornfield on the left side of the road, “and, I’m sure, expired.” If the collision would have been a second or so sooner, he would have “had a lap full of deer.” The accident knocked out the Cadillac’s left headlight, but it was still drivable. Stenehjem said Monday that he and Hamm turned around and headed back to Bismarck and canceled their appearance in Rugby. He said he didn’t want to be driving home after dark with only one headlight. There was no cell phone service where the accident happened, he said. Hamm tried using his Blackberry and Stenehjem tried using his laptop with a cell phone modem, but without luck. Stenehjem said they eventually connected with the McHenry County sheriff’s office about the time they were nearing Wing. When a recording at the sheriff’s office advised callers to contact State Radio, he arranged with its dispatchers to meet with a Highway Patrol trooper when they arrived back in the capital city about 5 p.m. Janell Cole works for Forum Communications Co., which owns The Dickinson Press. Everything you need for the Halloween Party of the year!! Candy to Party Supplies! WATFORD CITY (AP) — Officials of Theodore Roosevelt National Park say 667 acres were burned in the park’s north unit late last week, under the watchful eye of firefighters. The prescribed burn happened Thursday at the unit’s northwest corner. McKenzie County residents could see white smoke in the distance. The prescribed burns are expected to continue in the park through the end of the month. Fire management officer Rod Skalsky says the burns help the park diversify its plants, and that leads to more diversity in animals and insects. Park officials say the fires are carefully planned and they keep in close contact with the National Weather Service to check on any changes in temperatures or wind speed. Fargo house party involves children FARGO (AP) — Authorities in Cass County say children as young as 12 were drinking hard liquor and energy drinks at a house party in Harwood and that a 12-year-old boy was taken to a hospital for observation. Law officers say eight juveniles are being referred for consuming alcohol at the Friday party. They said the partygoers were between 12 years old and 16 years old. A parent who arrived to pick up her daughter reported the party. Authorities say no charges are expected against the homeowner, the uncle of one of the youngsters, who was away at the time. Man pulled from floodwaters arrested FARGO (AP) — According to Cass County authorities, a Fargo man was arrested for drunken driving after being rescued from floodwaters Sunday night. Chief Deputy Jim Thoreson says 37-year-old Matthew Flaig apparently lost control of his car and ended up in a water-filled ditch about two miles north of the airport. According to Thoreson, a passerby saw Flaig’s vehicle in about 4 feet of water and called for help. Thoreson says the deputy who responded helped Flaig from the vehicle and placed him under arrest. He was released on bond later. Killing frost needed for late crops FARGO (AP) — The Agriculture Department says North Dakota farmers need a killing frost to help with the dry down of corn, soybeans and sunflowers. The sunflower harvest began last week, while the flaxseed harvest neared completion. The soybean harvest was 37 percent done, which was behind last year and the average. Ranchers were weaning calves, hauling hay and cutting silage last week. Pasture and range conditions were rated 50 percent very poor to poor. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated 67 percent adequate to surplus, compared to 58 percent on average.

In 1956, several corporations started mining multiple uranium-rich lignite coal mines and ashing facilities in Southwest North Dakota, including an ashing facility located 1-mile southeast of Belfield. At a Belfield Chamber of Commerce meeting in April 1963, Dr. R.C. Vickers, representing GeoResouces Exploration overviewed the plans of the ashing facility and emphasized the potential these facilities could have on the economy in the Belfield area. During this meeting, members of the public and the chamber expressed concerns about potential environmental and human health impacts this ashing facility could have, but were reassured that the facility posed “minimal” risk to human health and that when finished the site would be remediated. However, nothing was written down on paper; thus, these companies left the state, leaving area residents to deal with the radioactive-contaminated material left behind. In 1979, the Belfield site was designated for cleanup and stabilization in which the state of North Dakota and the Department of Energy entered into an agreement to remediate with the State only responsible for 1 percent of the total cost. Unfortunately, in March 1995 the state requested that the Belfield site be removed from remedial designation due to limited State funding and a low “perceived” public and environmental risk. Consequently, after 42 years of radioactive contamination in our backyards, no remediation has taken place and the contamination remains. Thus, the recent actions by the Stark County Commission and Zon- ing Board, leaving all the environmental regulatory components of the proposed GNPD/GTL facility near South Heart up to the North Dakota Department of Health and Public Service Commission, may be misguided if the history of these agencies (on these uranium facilities) is taken into consideration. Therefore, residents surrounding the proposed facility have every right to demand to know what is going to happen and how agencies will respond when things go awry. When representatives of GNPD/GTL and the Stark County Commission/Zoning Board use words such as minimal, negligible, inconsequentia, and insignificant when talking about potential environmental and human health impacts, it raises our ire. Joshua Steffan, cancer researcher, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shrezeport, La. and former South Heart resident North Dakota may hold answers to oil issues Last January Rep. Shirley Meyer, D-36, and I announced the formation of an Oil Refinery Task force to look at increasing refining capacity in North Dakota and we were greeted with intense scrutiny. We formed this task force because we believed it was so important to be able to find solutions to untimely fuel shortages and some of the highest fuel prices in the nation, all happening right here in a state where we are sitting on top of the largest contiguous oil fiend in the lower 48 states! We decided that the questions were too important to leave unanswered. Let’s add value to North Dakota oil. Why ship our unrefined oil somewhere else when we could potentially hold the solution right here in North Dakota? We create new jobs and secondary businesses for the by-product such as fertilizer plants, tire and plas- tic manufacturing plants. The discussion we held is critically important to North Dakota’s energy future. Building a refinery is more than possible. Our suspicions were correct. It won’t be necessary for the state to own the refinery, rather; assist in the citing and permitting of such a facility. The investors are eager to start investing in North Dakota! The developers with the three affiliated tribes and Northwest Oil Refinery are right on track and may soon be a reality. Task Force attention has helped them solidify assistance from other state agencies and move these projects forward. And, the best news is that these refineries are being planned using new technologies that will build clean, green facilities. North Dakota has critical issues of stranded oil. Capacity limitations are having a negative affect on our state and its royalty owners. Sen. Dorgan’s congressional hearing in Bismarck to discuss stranded oil was extremely timely and highlighted the need to find additional solutions for pipeline capacity and refining capabilities. The work of the Oil Task Force has been very thorough. We held many meetings all across the state and received input and testimony from dozens of industry, state and community leaders on these issues. Through our efforts we have been able to create an important discussion across the state about North Dakota’s energy future. Our work is not done. Together, we can create a new and exciting future for North Dakota. We are a stalwart and stouthearted people, and never more so than in hard times. People weep in the dark and arise in the morning and go to work. The waves crash on your nest egg and a chunk is swept away and you put your salami sandwich in the brown bag and get on the bus. In Philly, a woman earns $10.30/hour to care for a man brought down by cystic fibrosis. She bathes and dresses him in the morning, brings him meals, puts him to bed at night. It’s hard work lifting him and she has suffered a painful hernia that, because she can’t afford health insurance, she can’t get fixed, but she still goes to work because he’d be helpless without her. There are a lot of people like her. I know because I’m related to some of them. Low dishonesty and craven cynicism sometimes win the day but not inevitably. The attempt to link Barack Obama to an old radical in his neighborhood has desperation and deceit written all over it. Meanwhile, stunning acts of heroism stand out, such as the fidelity of military lawyers assigned to defend detainees at Guantanamo Bay — uniformed officers faithful to their lawyerly duty to offer a vigorous defense even though it means exposing the injustice of military justice that is rigged for conviction and the mendacity of a commander in chief who commits war crimes. If your law school is looking for a name for its new library, instead of selling the honor to a fat cat alumnus, you should consider the names of Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, Lt. Col. Mark Bridges, Col. Steven David, Lt. Col. Sharon Shaffer, Lt. Cmdr. Philip Sundel and Maj. Michael Mori. It was dishonest, cynical men who put forward a clueless young woman for national office, hoping to juice up the ticket, hoping she could skate through two months of chaperoned campaigning, but the truth emerges: The lady is talking freely about matters she has never thought about. The American people have an ear for B.S. They can tell when someone’s mouth is moving and the clutch is not engaged. When she said, ‘One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let’s commit ourselves just every day, American people, Joe Six-Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say never again. Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those who are managing our money and loaning us these dolGarrison lars,’ people Keillor smelled gas. S o m e Syndicated Republicans Columnist adore her because they are pranksters at heart and love the consternation of grown-ups. The ne’er-do-well son of the old Republican family as president, the idea that you increase government revenue by cutting taxes, the idea that you cut social services and thereby drive the needy into the middle class, the idea that you overthrow a dictator with a show of force and achieve democracy at no cost to yourself — one stink bomb after another, and now Governor Palin. She is a chatty sportscaster who lacks the guile to conceal her vacuity, and she was Mr. McCain’s first major decision as nominee. This troubles independent voters, and now she is a major drag on his candidacy. She will get a nice book deal from Regnery and a new career making personal appearances for forty grand a pop, and she’ll become a trivia question, ‘What politician claimed foreign-policy expertise based on being able to see Russia from her house?’ And the rest of us will have to pull ourselves out of the swamp of Republican economics. Your broker kept saying, ‘Stay with the portfolio, don’t jump ship,’ and you felt a strong urge to dump the stocks and get into the money market where at least you’re not going to lose your shirt, but you didn’t do it and didn’t do it, and now you’re holding a big bag of brown bananas. Me, too. But at least I know enough not to believe desperate people who are talking trash. Anybody who got whacked last week and still thinks McCain-Palin is going to lead us out of the swamp and not into a war with Iran is beyond persuasion in the English language. They’ll need to lose their homes and be out on the street in a cold hard rain before they connect the dots. Rep. Kenton Onstad (D-4), Parshall Mathern will improve lives, develop resources My interest in politics began as a 7year-old watching the Kennedy Nixon debates on a black and white television with my grandmother, in a farmhouse without running water. I come from humble beginnings. My grandmother was tickled to discover that we both preferred the same candidate. Over the years she and my grandfather took delight in my political enthusiasm. They displayed President Kennedy’s portrait in their home long after the man himself was gone. The party was for the working people and farmers like us and the Republican Party was the rich man’s party. That premise has certainly rung true for me throughout my life as I reflected on local and national politics. This week I met Tim Mathern, the democratic candidate for governor of North Dakota at a fundraiser in my neighborhood. As I listened to him speak about his dreams for North Dakotans I was reminded of my own grandparents’ dreams, trials and tribulations.

He cited how under our current administration North Dakota’s vast wind energy potential has not yet been tapped to the extent that Minnesota’s has with far less potential. As governor he will not only increase the wind energy tapped in North Dakota but will also make sure that the majority of the profits stay here. I was so moved by him I thought that if more North Dakotans could hear his message their choice for governor would be clear. As governor of North Dakota, Tim Mathern will work to improve our lives and to develop our resources.

Markets The Dickinson Press Tuesday, October 14, 2008 7 Manic Monday: Dow roars back from worst week ever NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street stormed back after its worst week ever and staged the biggest single-day stock rally since the Great Depression on Monday, catapulting the Dow Jones industrials to a 936-point gain and finally offering relief from eight consecutive days of stock market carnage. While no one was saying the worst was over for the staggering financial system or troubled economy, buyers returned to the stock market with gusto, with some saying stocks had been driven down to fire-sale prices. The surge came as executives from leading banks were summoned by the Bush administration to Washington to work out a plan to get loans, the lifeblood of the economy, moving again. And it followed signals that European governments would put nearly $2 trillion on the line to protect their own banks.

Wheat Futures MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Monday: cent, its biggest one-day rally since 1933, and by points it shattered the previous record for a one-day gain of 499, during during the waning days of the technology boom in 2000. Stocks opened sharply higher and never looked back. The Dow was up more than 400 points in the opening minutes of trading, and by lunch hour had crossed back through the same 9,000 level it crashed below last week. The rally intensified in the final hour of trading. In the moments before the closing bell rang, boisterous traders sounded horns on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and raucous applause broke out. For Wall Street, it came not a moment too soon. The dismal week before wiped out about $2.4 trillion in shareholder wealth. The eight-day losing streak drained 2,400 points from the Dow, or 22 percent — roughly equal to the 1987 crash and enough to establish a bear market all on its own. U.S. stock market paper gains totaled $1.2 trillion Monday, according to the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, which represents nearly all stocks traded in America. The massive rebound also pushed the Nasdaq composite index higher by 195 points, or nearly 12 percent, its second-biggest gain in percentage terms. The Standard and Poor’s 500, rose 104 points, its biggest point gain ever and an 11.5 percent gain, its greatest since 1933. About 3,030 stocks advanced on the New York Stock Exchange, while only about 160 declined — a reversal from last week, when declining stocks overwhelmed the gainers. But the trading volume of 1.82 billion shares was lighter than it had been last week, suggesting there was less conviction in the buying than during last week’s selling. At the close, the Dow stood at 9,387.61. That’s still a far cry from its peak of 14,165, set a little more than a year ago — and history suggests Wall Street could have a long climb back to the top of the mountain. And Wall Street still has a lot to worry about, including a housing market that is still groping for a low point in prices and shoppers who are spooked by job losses and other ominous economic signs and are cutting back on their spending. It was also too soon to say for sure whether lending was finally loosening up. The sell-off on Wall Street last week was driven by fear that mistrustful banks were choking off the everyday loans that businesses use to buy supplies and pay their workers. The heads of the five biggest U.S. banks — Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America — were meeting at the Treasury Department with officials from Treasury and the Federal Reserve. The discussions are aimed at finalizing details on the rescue package Congress passed Oct. 3. That package started with the idea that the government would buy the bad mortgage-related debt off the books of banks. It now includes provisions for the government to buy ownership stakes in banks, among other steps. It is coming together against the backdrop of a presidential election that has focused squarely on the economy. Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain are to meet for a final debate Wednesday night on Long Island, with the state of the nation’s finances sure to be at the top of the list. Consolidated volume on the New York Stock Exchange hit 7.1 billion shares, down from 11.2 billion during Friday’s session but still very heavy.

The Astrology end result Columnist could be quite impressive and actually lead to a new job or career opportunity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Even if you feel that your thinking is far better than that of your contemporaries, don’t push your beliefs on them. Be prepared to accept their ideas, or you could come off as being a know-it-all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Just because you might recognize certain inadequacies in yourself, don’t point out the flaws in others, even if you’re right. They won’t take kindly to your trying to correct them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Should you run into someone whose strong opinions diametrically oppose yours, don’t take it personally. Although you will handle the clash well, fruitless combat is a waste of time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — When you run into a congested roadblock, unless you’re willing to scout out routes less cluttered, you will make life much harder on yourself than it need be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It is OK to be a bit assertive, but don’t let any aggressiveness spill over into social situations. Friendship can only survive with giveand-take. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you plan to make purchases that will spruce up your home, be careful that you don’t go overboard just because the bargains are few and far between. Wait until another day. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — In reality, some of your first thoughts will be your best ones, yet you might not trust your judgment simply because they could be based more upon feelings than logic. Don’t discount sentiment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be careful when it comes to household repairs. Getting a friend to do these jobs might prove to be an expensive mistake, especially if you can’t point out what you don’t like. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Although you might be adept at managing your personal affairs, don’t attempt to tell others how they should run their lives. It won’t go over too well, even if you mean well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A number of things might turn out to be a bit more difficult than usual to achieve, owing to a lot of small problems going against you. However, don’t use this as a cop-out to throw in the towel. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if someone close to you does something you don’t approve, don’t make a big thing of it. All that will do is create a chasm between the two of you that won’t be easily rectified. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Running around with high rollers might give you delusions of grandeur, but the price you pay may be more than you’re prepared to handle. Trying to match their spending would be folly. Born Loser Grizzwells Dilbert For Better or Worse Retail Alley Oop NEA Cryptogram Philip Alder on Bridge It goes redouble, penalty double Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2008 Journalist and humorist Kin Hubbard said, “The safe way to double your money is to Philip fold it over Alder once and put it in your pockBridge et.” Columnist You can increase the number of bills folded in your pocket by playing bridge for money and knowing when to double your opponents for penalty. Partner opens one of a suit, the next player makes a takeout double, and you redouble. What does your call mean? First, you promise at least 10 high-card points. Next, you have fewer than four cards in partner’s suit if he bid a major, and probably not four if he opened in a minor. And if you are short in partner’s suit, you should have “penalty” firmly in mind. After this redouble, either the opening side wins the auction or the opponents play in a contract doubled for penalty. In today’s deal, South makes a textbook takeout double, but gets killed. After West redoubles, North has nowhere to go, and neither does South. One spade redoubled would make three (plus 920) or four (plus 1,120). One no-trump doubled would probably go down four, minus 800. With careful defense, declarer gets only the spade king and his two aces. Two diamonds doubled is no better. West leads the spade queen. East wins with his ace and returns the eight, the lowest card being a suit-preference signal for clubs. West ruffs and shifts to a club, East winning cheaply and leading the spade nine. South does best to pitch a club loser, but if East shifts to a red suit, the contract would still go down four, minus 800.

Dickinson’s Tyler Rapp is one of two automotive trade students in the country selected for a weeklong internship that will let him work alongside a pit crew for a NASCAR Nationwide Series race. Rapp, who graduated from the Wahpeton college this year, will travel to the Chip Ganassi Racing facility with Felix Sabates in North Carolina on Oct. 26. While there, he will help prepare the No. 40 Fastenal Dodge racing car for the team’s Nov. 1 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Rapp Speedway. Rapp will then travel to Texas and join the crew in the pits during the race. The No. 40 car’s scheduled driver is international racing legend Juan Pablo Montoya. Rapp, 22, wants to work in the racing industry and said he’s excited to learn from some of the best racing mechanics in the world. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” Rapp said. Fastenal Co., which sponsors the internship, selected Rapp based on his academic record and personal essay. Paul Mosey, associate professor of automotive technology at NDSCS, said Rapp is a hard-working and dedicated student who sought out this internship opportunity on his own. It’s the first time an NDSCS student has been selected for the internship, Mosey said. “This falls right into what his goals and ambitions are,” Mosey said. The internship program also will fly Mosey to the race, where he’ll have pit row seats. Rapp works as a Chrysler technician in Dickinson. In January, he will begin the motorsports vehicle technology program at Lanier Technical College in Georgia. The Forum and The Dickinson Press are both owned by Forum Communications Co. Browns roll Giants for needed win By Tom Withers Associated Press CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns may have flipped around their season. Led by tumbling wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who announced his team’s return to Monday night after five years by sticking an Olympic-caliber cartwheel and back flip during pregame introductions, Cleveland ended New York’s 11-game road winning streak with a 35-14 win over the defending Super Bowl champions.

Eli Manning and returned it 94 yards for a touchdown and the Browns (2-3) finally looked worthy of a prime-time TV slot. Anderson finished 18-for-29 for 310 yards, Edwards caught five passes for a careerhigh 154 yards and Jamal Lewis scored on a 4-yard run for the Browns, who won a Monday night game for the first time since 1993 and handed the Giants (4-1) their first loss, leaving the Tennessee Titans as the NFL’s only unbeaten team. Manning was picked off three times and the Giants, so dominant through their first four games, were roughed up by a Cleveland team running out of time to make good on lofty preseason expectations. In the closing minutes, Browns fans chanted “Over-rated” at the New Yorkers. Aside from some more silly penalties, the Browns were superior to the Giants, who BROWNS/10 Press Photo by Dustin Monke Dickinson Trinity senior Breanna Messer goes up for a kill during practice on Monday at Knights of Columbus Activities Center. The Titans travel to face Hazen at 7 tonight in a pivotal District 14 match at Bison Sports Arena. Major match LOS ANGELES — The Philadelphia Phillies used their favorite staple, the long ball, to move within one win of the World Series. Shane Victorino and much-traveled pinchhitter Matt Stairs hit two-run homers off two of Los Angeles’ most reliable relievers in the eighth inning Monday night, lifting the Phillies to a 7-5 victory over the Dodgers and a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series. It was the first time the visiting team has won a game in 12 meetings between the teams this year.

With a runner at first and one out in the eighth, Victorino lined Cory Wade’s first pitch into the right-field bullpen to tie the game at 5. Then, after a two-out single by Carlos Ruiz, Dodgers manager Joe Torre called upon closer Jonathan Broxton, the seventh Los Angeles pitcher. Broxton tried to throw a 3-1 fastball past Stairs, and the 40-year-old left-handed hitter drove it halfway up the the right-field pavilion to put the Phillies ahead. Broxton, the seventh Los Angeles pitcher, allowed only two homers in 69 innings during the regular season. The Phillies picked up Stairs from Toronto on Aug. 30. PHILLIES/12 Trinity and Hazen face off to determine District 14’s top seed By Dustin Monke dmonke@thedickinsonpress.com Dickinson Trinity knows it isn’t going to see the same Hazen volleyball team it played on the first day of the season. “A lot has changed,” Trinity senior Breanna Messer said. Both teams have established themselves as two of the state’s best since the Titans won a twogame match 25-17, 26-24 in Hazen’s Coal Country Tournament on Aug. 30. With the postseason rapidly approaching, there’s a lot and the line and little room for error when the District 14 rivals face off at 7 tonight at the Bison Sports Arena. The winner walks away with the top seed in the district tournament while the loser is relegated to the third seed. “It is a big game,” Trinity coach Melini Grosulak said. “The girls are going to be fired up going into the game. Both teams are going to be playing hard. It’s going to come right down to the wire.” Tiebreaker rules come into Titans at Bison Dickinson Trinity visits Hazen for a match at 7 p.m. today. The winner earns the top seed in the upcoming District 14 tournament. effect tonight if Trinity is victorious. Hazen is 4-0 in the district while Trinity is 3-1 with its only loss coming at home to Beulah in a five-game match. Tiebreaker rules state that if Trinity wins, it wins the regularseason district title because it earned game wins over Beulah. Hazen swept Beulah 3-0. The fact that they have to win in order to clinch the district — which also gives them a prized bye in the first round of the tournament — is a motivating factor for the Titans. “We have to come in with a lot of focus and we just have to come into it with the mindset that it’s going to be a battle to the end,” Trinity senior setter Sheyenne Plummer said. Hazen coach Kim Wolf knows her team has to be ready for a long game, but said she has a feeling the Bison (29-4 overall) are up to the challenge. “Getting up for the Trinity match is never a problem,” Hazen coach Kim Wolf said. “The rivalry that’s developed between the two teams, the respect, now it’s just channeling it appropriately.” Wolf said she feels the Titans and Bison have proved throughout the season they should be considered two of the top teams in Class B. Because there are no state media rankings for North Dakota high school volleyball, coaches gauge teams by their finishes at weekend tournaments. Trinity took second place and Hazen third at the difficult Des Lacs-Burlington Laker Invitational last weekend. Still, just because the Titans finished better at a tournament doesn’t mean they are better — and Trinity knows it too. “We can’t come out too confident,” Messer said. “We know they’re a good team. We need to play intense, stay intense and keep building.” AP Photo Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino celebrates his two-run homer to tie the game against Los Angeles Dodgers in the eighth inning in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series Monday at Dodger Stadium.

By Dave Goldberg Associated Press The Washington Redskins and their fans have discovered the futility of looking at a schedule and projecting into the future. As in, “We have three easy games coming up and will be 7-1.” Yes, that was the mood in the capital city before the Skins stumbled Sunday. “The headlines got good. We were saying ‘Yeah, we’re here.’ We’ve got three games we can win,” Clinton Portis said after the Redskins lost the first of those three, at home to winless St. Louis. “And we overlooked a team today that came in here ready to play.” This weekend offered what the NFL loves: The “on any given Sunday” theme first enunciated by Pete Rozelle. Not only did the Rams win, but Houston got its first victory over a Miami team that already had shocked the league by doubling its 2007 win total with victories over New England and San Diego, the AFC’s two finalists last season. And Detroit, as futile as St. Louis over the first quarter of the season, barely lost 12-10 in Minnesota; the Vikings benefited from a somewhat dubious 42-yard interference call to kick the winning field goal. In fact, it was a strange enough day that even the seemingly impregnable NFC East took two hits, the Redskins loss and Dallas’ overtime defeat in Arizona. Given that Tony Romo broke a finger in OT, it might have been better if Nick Folk had missed the 52-yard field goal that tied the game at the buzzer — at least the Cowboys would have gone home healthy. And the Lions’ loss was marked by one of the strangest plays ever, the safety taken by Detroit QB Dan Orlovsky. With the ball at his 1-yard-line, Orlovsky took a snap, rolled to his right over the back line of the end zone and continued to look downfield as if everything was fine. “When they started blowing the whistle, I was like, ‘Did we false start?’ Were they offsides? And then I looked and was just like, ‘You’re an idiot.’ “ Still, the most startling result was in Washington, where the Redskins and their fans were on a high following consecutive road wins in Dallas and Philadelphia, the final victories in a four-game winning streak. In fact, the conventional wisdom was that even their openingnight loss to the Super Bowl champion Giants was an aberration because they were still adjusting to a new offensive system. With the Rams next, followed by Cleveland and a game at Detroit, fans were getting ready to book tickets to Tampa, where the Super Bowl will be played Feb. 1. Browns / from Page 9 had reeled off 11 straight wins — 12 counting the Super Bowl — outside of New Jersey since Week 1 last season. But Manning was not himself and New York, which embarrassed Cleveland during the exhibition season, missed an opportunity to open a two-game lead in the brutal NFC East. Edwards’ 11-yard TD reception on the first play of the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 27-14 lead, and he punctuated it with a reverse dunk over the goal post. The score capped an 87-yard drive which was bogged down by five Cleveland penalties. The Giants then drove to the Cleveland 9, but on second-and-4, Manning locked onto wide receiver Amani Toomer, allowing Wright time to dart in front, make the interception and tiptoe down the sideline to the end zone. It was a satisfying turn for Wright, who was burned twice by the Giants during the Aug. 18 matchup between the teams. While Browns fans danced in the aisles, Anderson hit Edwards for the 2-point conversion to put the Browns ahead by 21. Cleveland had its best game this season despite playing without Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow, who was hospitalized last week with an undisclosed illness. Manning went 18-of-28 for 196 yards and threw a 22-yard TD pass to Plaxico Burress, who was back after serving a one-game suspension for violating team rules. Moments after New York went up 7-3 on Brandon Jacobs’ 7-yard run, Edwards turned cornerback Aaron Ross around with a nice outside fake and hauled in a 70-yard pass from Anderson to set up Cleveland’s first TD, a 4-yard run by Lewis. On the Browns’ next possession, Anderson put together his bestlooking drive of the season. Given time to throw, he made all the correct reads and went 5-for-5 for 74 yards, threading a 22-yard TD pass over the middle to backup tight end Darnell Dinkins to give Cleveland a 17-7 halftime lead. Manning countered with an 80yard scoring drive — helped by a critical Cleveland penalty — to pull the Giants within 17-14. From the 3, he lofted a perfect 3-yard TD pass to Burress, who easily ran past defensive back Terry Cousin. Three plays earlier, Manning had been sacked and fumbled on third down, but Browns safety Mike Adams was called for illegal contact, giving New York a first down. Browns defensive end Corey Williams had provided the Giants with some bulletin-board material leading into the game. Williams, who was with Green Bay last season and lost to New York in the NFC title game, had said Cleveland’s defense planned to “hit him (Jacobs) in the mouth” and that “their ain’t nothing physical” about the Giants’ offensive line. Williams also said he was going to try to knock Jacobs’ head off, remarks that were prominently displayed on the back pages of New Sports The Dickinson Press Sports in Brief Hafner to have shoulder surgery CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday on the strained right shoulder that kept him on the disabled list for more than three months. Noted orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews examined Hafner in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday and will perform the surgery. Hafter is a native of Sykeston. Andrews will clean out the shoulder and investigate why it’s causing pain, Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff said. Soloff didn’t indicate how long Hafner will be out and said he would know more Tuesday about what the procedure will involve. There were no tests or images that indicated the shoulder needed to be repaired or reconstructed, Soloff said. Hafner returned from the disabled list in September, but was restricted from playing more than two days in a row. An exam at the end of the season indicated his shoulder strength declined from 75 percent to 70 percent. “We want Travis to be unrestricted with regards to baseball activities in spring training and the beginning of the season next year,” Soloff said. At the time Hafner went on the DL in May, he was batting just .217 with four homers. Tests showed the left-handed power hitter had lost nearly all the strength in his shoulder. Hafner, nicknamed “Pronk,” hit .197 with five homers and 24 RBIs in 57 games for the Indians last season. He entered the 2008 season with a .290 career average and averaged 32 homers and 108 RBIs in the previous four seasons.

Sports 12 Tuesday, October 14, 2008 The Dickinson Press Phillies / from Page 9 Photo by Carrie Snyder/The Forum/Forum Communications Co. North Dakota State’s D.J. McNorton, right, tackles Western Illinois’ Tim Jackson during on Saturday at the Fargodome. Looking for answers NDSU searches for ways to fix crumbling season By Jeff Kolpack The Forum FARGO — North Dakota State will be looking to right its football ship on Saturday at Northern Iowa. It’s a boat that is bruised and battered and taking on water. It is a boat that at one time was an aircraft carrier ranked No. 1 in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision coaches poll, but is perhaps one game from sinking out of the playoff race. At 3-3, with three of the losses coming in their last four games, the Bison cannot realistically lose another game and expect a post-season phone call at the end of November. It is a boat that lost a couple more sailors last Saturday in a 27-22 loss to Western Illinois and the recipients are familiar. Middle linebacker Tyler Henry and strong safety Cyrus Lemon may both be lost for the second time this season. Henry sprained his ankle and currently is in a walking cast. He’s already missed two games this year with a knee injury and his spot will be taken by true freshman Preston Evans, who will get his first career start. Sophomore Matt Anderson, who started in place of Henry at Wyoming and Youngstown State, is sidelined with a pinched nerve. Lemon has a shoulder injury, which comes on top of missing playing time this season with a hip pointer. The situation looks even more ominous on the offensive line. Starting left guard James Septak is battling a knee sprain. More alarming is left tackle, where starter Gerry Ebel and top backup Michael Arndt are questionable at best for the Panthers. Ebel has some type of back injury and Arndt also sprained his ankle. Head coach Craig Bohl said Monday he wasn’t sure who would start in their place if one or both can’t make the trip. Bohl also didn’t close the door on making personnel changes. He said the coaching staff discussed the possibility “at length” on Sunday. “When you lose, you have more of a tendency to take a critical eye,” Bohl said. “I think when you have that type of performance you have to look at what you’re teaching, how the players are performing and if we need to either change some of the models of what we’re teaching or change the players. So we’re going to take a critical eye at that over the course of this week. “I think it’s always dangerous to make wholesale changes. When you have urban renewal, typically those things tend to backfire but for us to just look at schematically and players that we’re putting out there and what we’re teaching them, I think that needs to be adjusted for us to produce a little bit better.” When asked if there are any particular positions up for grabs, Bohl said the first area of concern is the health of the current starters. “It’s not so much the productivity,” he said. “We’re looking at some of the guys who are just trying to stay healthy. … We need to improve here. What things can we do either schematically or putting players in different positions or different players in the game.” Losses aside, the Bison are still very much in the postseason hunt on paper. They fell to 16 in the coaches poll, which has some influence on at-large selections to the 16-team playoff field. Moreover, NDSU is just one game out of the league lead at 1-2 with five games yet to play. But that is not part of the discussions with the Bison these days. “You’re looking at a football team that has to get better this week to have an opportunity to win,” Bohl said. The Forum and The Dickinson Press are both owned by Forum Communications Co. Edwards upset about last week Driver says he wouldn’t mind reliving the bad seven-day span By Jenna Fryer Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If Carl Edwards fails to win the Sprint Cup title this year, he’ll likely always blame a six-day tailspin of trading paint, insults and shoves. It culminated Saturday night when his 33rd-place finish at Lowe’s Motor Speedway dropped him from second to fourth in the standings, a distant 168 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson with five races to go. “I can guarantee you that if I had the week to do over again, the last seven days would be a lot different,” Edwards said. It all started with a 12-car wreck at Talladega that opened up Edwards to severe criticism from rival Kevin Harvick. Upset with Harvick’s attack, Edwards left him a sarcastic note at his airplane, then confronted him in the garage at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Photographs show Edwards grabbed Harvick by the neck before Harvick shoved him onto the hood of his car. After all that excitement, Edwards had little to say the rest of the week. “It seems the more I do or say this week, the worse off I am, so I just wanted to get to the end of the race,” he said Saturday night. “I’ve never been so excited to race at Martinsville in my life.” A new location, however, doesn’t mean the topic of conversation will change. No other sport is quite like NASCAR, with a grueling 38weekend schedule that forces its drivers, crew chiefs and owners to live inches apart three nights a week in motorhomes. In that tiny mobile racing community, everyone knows everybody and everything that’s going on — even if there weren’t photos of the two tussling in the garage. It’s been a good long while since NASCAR had a drama this good play out so publicly. Sure, you still hear whispers that Driver A spun Driver B in a spat over a girl, or so-and-so punched so-and-so when at the airport after a race in which they’d tangled. But this — complete with the five photographs — has everyone abuzz. It doesn’t help Edwards that his spat is with a driver who loves being the center of a storm. If Edwards is the Eddie Haskell of NASCAR (as Tony Stewart once called him) then Harvick is the Bart Simpson. Harvick has battled with Ricky Rudd, Greg Biffle, both Busch brothers, Juan Pablo Montoya, NASCAR and anyone else who gets in his way. He’s not shy to voice an opinion on other people’s business, never minces words, doesn’t back down from a fight and loves every minute of it. Not convinced? The smirk on his face Friday, when he shared his version of the garage incident, said it all. And he was quick to point out he didn’t care what Edwards has on the line. Was he trying to get in Edwards’ head through the entire episode? “That’s not that hard to do,” he said with a smile. Harvick doesn’t really care what people think about him, and that confidence has helped him rebound from every tussle over the past eight seasons. Edwards might be better off taking a similar approach. This time last year he threw a fake punch at teammate Matt Kenseth that was caught on videotape and ended up on YouTube. Although several rival drivers took their shots at him the next weekend, the criticism faded and Edwards moved on. It won’t be as easy this time around. Edwards accepted full responsibility for the Talladega wreck and apologized for taking out several championship contenders. But he couldn’t quite shake Harvick dissing him on national TV, which turned into a garage-area altercation. Then that 33rd-place finish capped off a horrible week. He’ll argue it was an ignition problem that derailed his race, but his body language all weekend indicated he’d already been defeated. But just because Edwards said he’d do things differently, it doesn’t mean he did them wrong. He has played for 11 teams in his career. The Phillies hit an NL-leading 214 homers during the regular season, and have nine in eight postseason games, good for 17 of their 35 runs. There were no brushback pitches or other trouble Monday night, unlike Game 3 when the benches and bullpens emptied in the third inning, moments after Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda threw a pitch over Victorino’s head in retaliation for Philadelphia’s high and tight pitches earlier in the series. Brad Lidge, the Phillies’ sixth pitcher, got four outs for his fifth postseason save in five chances, but it wasn’t easy. Lidge, a perfect 41-for-41 in save opportunities during the regular season, entered a game in the eighth for the first time this year, coming in with two outs and nobody on. Manny Ramirez greeted him with a double, and Russell Martin struck out but reached first on a wild pitch before James Loney flied to left. Lidge retired the side in order in the ninth, giving the Phillies an 85-0 record when leading after eight innings this year, including six wins in the postseason. The Dodgers scored twice in the sixth for a 5-3 lead. Casey Blake, who struck out in his first two at-bats, greeted reliever Chad Durbin by hitting a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall for his first postseason homer. Juan Pierre, making his first start of the postseason, followed with a double and pinchhitter Matt Kemp walked. Scott Eyre relieved and first baseman Ryan Howard threw wildly past first on Rafael Furcal’s sacrifice bunt, allowing Pierre to score and putting runners at second and third. Andre Ethier lined to first and, after Ramirez drew his second intentional walk of the game to load the bases, second baseman Chase Utley snared Russell Martin’s liner and turned it into a double play. The Dodgers took a 3-2 lead in the fifth, scoring twice with Ramirez delivering the key blow. Rafael Furcal walked and Ethier singled before Ramirez lined Joe Blanton’s first pitch to left to drive in Furcal, who ran through third base coach Larry Bowa’s stop sign and barely beat Pat Burrell’s throw home. Ethier scored on Russell Martin’s grounder. The Phillies tied it in the sixth when Howard scored from third on Chan Ho Park’s two-out wild pitch. Then, with Joe Beimel pitching and runners at first and third, right fielder Ethier made a diving catch of pinch-hitter So Taguchi’s blooper to end the inning. Jimmy Rollins singled off Derek Lowe to start the game, took third on Jayson Werth’s hit-and-run single and scored when Utley doubled on an 0-2 pitch. Werth came home on Howard’s infield out to make it 2-0, and Burrell walked before Victorino grounded into an inningending double play. Furcal bunted for a base hit on Blanton’s first pitch in the bottom half, popping the ball over the head of charging third baseman Greg Dobbs. Furcal later scored when James Loney doubled on an 0-2 pitch. rifice fly in the 11th inning won Game 2, hit a three-run homer in the third that sailed completely out of the park. Longoria added a solo shot later in the third — also off Lester, who pitched a no-hitter at Fenway in May and was 11-1 at home this year. Baldelli added on a threerun shot in the eighth and Pena made it 9-1 in the ninth, both off Paul Byrd. A lifetime Ray, Baldelli had never appeared in the postseason before; Pena is well-traveled — this is his fifth team, including the Red Sox — but he somehow managed to avoid appearing in a playoff game until arriving in Tampa Bay. The four homers in a game tied the ALCS home run record last matched by Boston in Game 2 against Tampa Bay on Saturday. “Solo home runs are good, but three-run homers mean so much more. It put us up 40 and gave us all the confidence in the world,” said Upton, who has five homers in the playoffs after hitting just nine during the regular season. “We feel the sky’s the limit for us all year. To beat (Lester), and to beat him at Fenway, hopefully it’ll have a snowball effect.” The Rays also hit hard on the basepaths. Carl Crawford bowled over Boston catcher Jason Varitek on a play at the plate. There was no immediate reprisal in a matchup between teams that have tangled in the past. The Red Sox put two on with nobody out in the seventh to chase Garza, then J.P. Howell gave up a sacrifice fly. Howell pitched two innings and Edwin Jackson closed out the victory. Rays / from Page 9 round series against the White Sox. “Everybody was on that one mission, and that was to win. We want to win now. We don’t want to be the team that waits for later, we want to win now,” he said. Andy Sonnanstine will try to win Game 4 for the Rays when he faces knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in Game 4 of the best-of-seven series on Tuesday night. Fenway Park has batting practice baseballs older than the Rays franchise, and the 37-foot wall that looms over left field is the signature feature of the major leagues’ oldest ballpark. But Tampa Bay, which climbed past the Yankees and Red Sox in the regular season, treated the Monster like just another old-fashioned obstacle to overcome.

Business The Dickinson Press Tuesday, October 14, 2008 15 Killdeer Veterinary Clinic building is finished Shelley Lenz is treating animals By Ashley Martin amartin@thedickinsonpress.com animals and that’s really where my strength is,” Lenz said. She added she will occasionally do exams for other small animals, but often refers them to other vets. She hopes to eventually hire someone to work with cattle. Lenz was working with clients in Killdeer and surrounding areas in her mobile unit, but says she is treating animals from more areas now. “It seems like they’re coming from even further away,” Lenz said. She is expanding on her practice by adding new treatment options for animals. Lenz can do acupuncture treatments and is in the process of getting certified for chiropractic treatment. “(I’m) just trying to offer more services to make our animals feel better,” Lenz said In the future she hopes to hire someone to do grooming and boarding services. One part of Lenz’s career that she finds particularly rewarding is when she is able to save animals. “Sometimes people don’t even realize what’s possible for their animal,” Lenz said. While not every animal can be saved, Lenz explains every situation to the owner so they are able to make the best decision for their animals. “By helping them know what’s going on, they can feel so much better about their decision,” Lenz said. She added that the Killdeer community has also helped to make her new business venture worthwhile. “I’m just very grateful for the community,” Lenz said. Killdeer Veterinary Clinic is located at 701 Highway 200 north of Killdeer. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. To contact Lenz, call 701-764-6511. After working out of a mobile clinic for several months, Shelley Lenz has moved Killdeer Veterinary Clinic into a brand new building. “I’m just tickled with it and I love being an owner,” Lenz said. Construction on the building picked up in March and the building was fully functional in June. “Everything is done faster and more efficiently here,” Lenz said. “I have a whole building instead of having just the basics in the van so I can do more.” Since she is not driving to her clients anymore, she can treat more animals in a day and respond faster to emergencies. “I’m always open for emergencies,” Lenz said. “If I need to come in at four in the morning, I come in at four in the morning. If it’s an emergency to the client, it’s an emergency to me too.” Lenz has a veterinary technician, a receptionist and occasional part-time employees. She is also offering externships, which are similar to internships, but include smaller blocks of time and can be done while attending school. “We’re doing both veterinary students and Press Photo by Ashley Martin veterinary technicians,” Lenz said about the Dr. Shelley Lenz examines a dog’s teeth at Killdeer Veterinary Clinic.

PARENTING TIP OF THE WEEK Great Ways to be a Great Father Courtesy Photo Bernie Zastoupil, a member of the Dickinson Catholic Quilters, at right, helps distribute the quilts to veterans at the St. Benedict’s Health Care Center on Oct. 3. Catholic quilters give blankets to veterans at St. Benedict’s Home By Linda Sailer lsailer@thedickinsonpress.com Seventeen veterans at Dickinson’s St. Benedict’s Health Care Center received handmade quilts from the Dickinson Catholic Quilters on Oct. 3. “Some were lap ones and some were bed quilts. The veterans decided which they wanted,” said St. Benedict’s Volunteer Coordinator Susie Kapelovitz. “We love every one of them. We think their quilting is beautiful and we appreciate their day mornings at St. Patrick’s parish center. Member Marie Renner said the women have made 257 quilts since the first of the year. “We donate quite a bit of them to the Domestic Violence shelter and a lot to St. Joseph’s Hospital nursery. We donate quilts to the Dorcas Society and we send many, many quilts to Guatemala,” she said. The women are currently making quilts for the veterans at Dickinson’s St. Luke’s Home.
