GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Home improvement retailers in Grand
Forks increasingly are catering to Canadians as shoppers are coming
over the border seeking bargains.

     The  demand for home improvement goods is based in part on prices, which are usually lower in the United States because of Canada’s higher
tax rates.

But it also is based on the selection of retailers and a building boom in Manitoba.
     Manitoba Home Builders’ Association.president Mike Moore says
home construction in Winnipeg last year was the highest in 25
years. He says it’s poised to set another record this year.
    

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Land developers in Fargo are asking for a new
type of liquor license they say will level the playing field with
cheaper alternatives in neighboring West Fargo.

Developers lobbied last week for a modified food and alcohol license that
would drop start-up fees.

The license would be usable only in a mile-wide corridor that marks the border with West Fargo.

     Fargo has a $100,000 issuance fee for the license used by
restaurants that serve alcohol at a bar.
     West Fargo has no issuance fee for a similar license.
     City officials say they’ll study the matter. But they also say
there’s little evidence the disparity is driving businesses away.
    

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota products are being featured at
the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.
     Monday is Pride of Dakota Day at the fair. Agriculture
Commissioner Doug Goehring says more than 50 vendors will be
displaying, sampling and selling their products.
     Pride of Dakota is a state program that helps North Dakota
companies market their products. More than 500 companies are
members.

Goehring says products at the fair will range from food to
books to jewelry.

There also will be a kuchen contest, and a dollar
lunch consisting of a hot dog, potato chips and milk.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of a North Dakota legislative
committee that reviews higher education spending says the
university system’s requests for more employees are going to get
tough scrutiny.

     New chancellor Ham Shirvani (shur-VAN’-ee) is asking for 30 new
staffers in the North Dakota university system’s central office.
That would double the existing staff.

     Shirvani says the people are needed to provide meaningful
oversight of the system’s operations.
     Tioga Rep. Bob Skarphol is chairman of a North Dakota House
Appropriations subcommittee that reviews higher education budgets.
     He says legislators will be skeptical of the request, but
Skarphol says they may become more sympathetic once they hear
Shirvani explain how it is justified.
     Skarphol says Shirvani is sincere and “very committed to what
he believes.”

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A state regulator says North Dakota’s
natural gas production is likely to rise as future oil output
falls.

State Department of Natural Resources director Lynn Helms
says normally when a well’s oil output starts going down, natural
gas also declines.

But Helms says a preliminary study predicts North Dakota’s wells will be different.

INDYCAR…
       EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -Helio Castroneves (EHL’-ee-oh
cas-troh-NEHV’-us) has tightened up the IndyCar Series points race
by winning at Edmonton.

Castroneves had to hold off Takuma Sato over the final 15 laps to pick up his second win of the season.

 The win pushed Castroneves up to second in the standings, and he trails
leader Ryan Hunter-Reay by 23 points with four races remaining.

 

TENNIS…
  
     ATLANTA (AP) – Andy Roddick beat Gilles Muller (zheel MUL’-ur)
of Luxembourg 1-6, 7-6, 6-2 to win the Atlanta Open and earn his
32nd ATP World Tour title.

Roddick ranks third among active players in career titles behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (rah-fay-ehl nah-DAHL’).

     After taking the Eastbourne title before Wimbledon, Roddick has
won two of his past three events and 11 of 12 matches.

He will play for the U.S. team when the Olympics begin next week at Wimbledon.

 

PENN STATE…

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Shortly after Penn State tore down its
famed statue of coach Joe Paterno, the NCAA said it would impose
“corrective and punitive” sanctions against the university in the
wake of a devastating report that asserted top university officials
buried child sex abuse allegations against a retired assistant
coach more than a decade ago.
     The NCAA, acting with rare speed, said it will spell out the
penalties on Monday. The governing body did not disclose further
details.
     If precedent holds from recent cases, Penn State will face a
loss of scholarships and a multi-year ban from bowl games – and
with it, the financial windfall and showcase that comes with
postseason play.
     Yet NCAA President Mark Emmert cautioned last week that he
hasn’t ruled out the possibility of shutting down the Penn State
football program altogether, saying he had “never seen anything as
egregious” as the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.

 

In world and national news…

 

AURORA, Colo. (AP) – The suspected gunman in the Colorado theater massacre will be advised of the charges against him and could face more when he has his first court appearance today.

Authorities say James Holmes has not been cooperating in the investigation. They say they’re still far away from a motive in the attack that killed 12 people.
 
     BAGHDAD (AP) – Bombs exploded and gunfire echoed across Iraq today in what appeared to be coordinated attacks that have killed at least 93 people in the nation’s deadliest day so far this year.

The attacks come days after the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq declared a new offensive and warned in a statement that the militant group is reorganizing.
 
     BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) – Syria’s government admits it has chemical weapons but promises it would never use them against its own people.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi says the stockpiles are secure and that Syria would only use them against foreign attackers.
 
     LONDON (AP) – A senior Scotland Yard official says the phone hacking investigation has gone beyond a tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch’s company and spread to other newspapers.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers’ comments indicate the scandal could end up burning Murdoch’s tabloid competitors.

It’s long been rumored that journalists at the competition engaged in many of the same illegal practices.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The world’s largest AIDS conference is beginning today in Washington. Researchers, doctors and patients are urging the world’s governments not to cut back on the fight against the epidemic, which they say it at a turning point.

There is no cure or vaccine yet, but scientists say they have the tools to finally stem the spread of HIV.
