WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – What began as a small grass fire
Friday afternoon has spread to more than 600 acres in the Dakota
Prairie Grasslands area about 30 miles southwest of Watford City in
western North Dakota.
 The fire has closed down the Maah Deah Hey Trail and the Bennett Campground.
     About 80 people are working to contain the fire, and a
helicopter is being used to drop water on the blaze.

     Dakota Prairie Grasslands district ranger Jay Frederick says
temperatures were expected to drop near freezing overnight, which
would help firefighters.

ranchers near the fire, but there has been no property damage so
far. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

     After hosting fundraisers for the Garcia family for two weeks,
students at Fargo North High gave the family a check on Friday.

house was a total loss.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A trust fund that benefits North Dakota’s
schools has reached the $2 billion mark.

(GAY’-bee) says the Common Schools Trust Fund had $1 billion in
assets only three years ago.

on state lands, and it gets royalty payments from oil production.
Gaebe says the oil income is the biggest reason for the fund’s
growth.
     The school trust fund also gets money from leasing out about
700,000 acres of state-owned pasture land.
     Part of the fund’s assets are paid out to North Dakota schools.
During the current two-year budget, schools are getting about $93
million. Gaebe says that will be going up to $137 million in the
next two years.

when they buy goods in the state. Montana doesn’t have a sales tax,
and North Dakota merchants say the break helps draw shoppers.
     Canadians have to pay North Dakota sales taxes on the goods they
buy, but they can get a refund. The state Tax Department has paid
almost $2.2 million in refunds this year.
     The North Dakota Legislature’s Taxation Committee won’t support
proposals to get rid of the tax breaks.
     Fargo Rep. Jim Kasper says the state has enough revenue.
Williston Rep. Patrick Hatlestad says Montana shoppers will stay
away if they have to pay North Dakota’s sales tax.

School’s annual Hall of Fame Ceremony.
     Wong says  it took him nearly 70 years, but he was finally ready to graduate.
     Wong was born in North Dakota, spent his early school years in
China, and his family moved back to Fargo when he was 13.

Halfway through his junior year, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and
served three years during World War II.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Locked-out American Crystal Sugar
workers have called on their children in an effort to get the
company to negotiate an end to the labor dispute.
     The company locked out its regular workers almost 14 months ago
in a union contract dispute.

Company officials have said they have
made their final offer, but the locked-out workers want to continue
negotiations.
 Children of the workers gathered Saturday to write letters to company officials and farmers who are company board members. The letters describe the impact the lockout has had on them in the hope of making the
company realize it needs to end.
     Some of the children say the lockout has hurt their families and
created worry that they will run out of food or lose their homes.

in eight games.
     Meanwhile, Cody Ross doubled in the go-ahead run in the eighth
inning and Andrew Bailey escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth as

 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Replacement referee Ken Roan says he
mistakenly awarded 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh two challenges after
the coach had called his last timeout yesterday.

The miscues came late in the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s victory over San
Francisco.

NFL rules require teams to have a timeout available in
order to challenge a play.

 Meanwhile, two people familiar with the talks say that the NFL
and the locked out officials’ union met on Sunday.
     It was uncertain whether progress was made in an attempt to
reach a new collective bargaining agreement, or when further
negotiations would take place.

     Jimmie Johnson finished second and took the lead in the Chase
for the Sprint Cup.

     PGA-TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

     ATLANTA (AP) -Brandt Snedeker played the round of his life and
claimed the biggest payoff in golf.
     Snedeker needed to win the Tour Championship to beat out Rory
McIlroy for the FedEx Cup.

He made three big birdies on the back
nine at East Lake en route to a 2-under-par 68 to finish 10-under
for the tournament, three strokes better than runner-up Justin
Rose.
     Snedeker collects $1.44 million for winning his second title of
the year. And he won $10 million for capturing the FedEx Cup, which
comes with a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
     McIlroy and Tiger Woods, both of whom could have won the FedEx
Cup with a victory Sunday, faded early and were never a factor.

 

In world and national news…

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
predicts that this week’s session of the U.N. General Assembly will
be among the busiest ever reflecting “the tumultuous time in which
we live.”

 President Barack Obama and more than 120 other
presidents, prime ministers and monarchs will be faced with a war
raging in Syria, deadly protests generated by an anti-Islamic video
and other crises when they gather in New York.

country home and his sons’ private college tuition.
