benefits the Bismarck Cancer Center also is helping residents of a
small North Dakota town nearly wiped out by a wildfire.
The “Hunting Dakota with Roosevelt” event brings together
North Dakota military personnel, cancer survivors and others. Last

This year, the hunt’s banquet in Medora also included an auction with
the proceeds going to victims of last week’s fire in Bucyrus

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Food truck operators who serve
Williston’s oil field workers are preparing for a city ban on their
operations.
Starting Jan. 1, mobile restaurants will be prohibited in
Williston, except for coffee kiosks.
Williston Mayor Ward Koeser (KOH’-zur) says the ban is part of a
city attempt to encourage more permanent development.
One of the affected businesses is the Big Iron Kitchen. It’s run
by Ernie and Jo Bingham from Bainville, Mont. They’ve been
operating from the parking lot of a bar for the past 17 months.
Jo Bingham says they’ve begun planning to build a permanent
location at the bar. But she says it’s “heart-wrenching to think that we
have to move.”

by heavy trucks.

main roads have to be improved soon, or they’ll be damaged by
winter traffic.

companies that use the roads to sign agreements to put the roads
back into their former condition.
The commission is considering Zimmerman’s suggestions.
Dunn County is one of the leading oil-producing counties in
western North Dakota.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The man who wanted to be the North Dakota
Libertarian candidate for governor will get a state Supreme Court
hearing on why he was left off the ballot.
But Roland Riemers won’t get his time before the justices until
Election Day. That’s when the arguments are scheduled.
Riemers didn’t qualify for the ballot because his lieutenant
governor candidate didn’t turn in the right paperwork.
Secretary of State Al Jaeger asked for a legal opinion about the
omission.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem concluded that state law didn’t
allow Riemers to run for governor if he didn’t have a running mate.
Riemers contends if that’s so, the Democratic and Republican
candidates for governor didn’t fill out their paperwork correctly
either – and they should have been dropped from the ballot.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Children of Grand Forks Air Force Base
airmen got a glimpse of what their parents go through before

North Dakota.
Dalrymple says about 25 percent of North Dakota businesses are
owned by women.
The governor says North Dakota’s working women and
women business owners are “creating jobs, expanding business
opportunities and bringing leadership skills and innovative ideas
to a variety of industries.”
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – When the movie Fargo debuted in 1996, many
residents in the North Dakota city were not fans of the film’s dark
humor, not to mention the heavy accents.
But the fame and cash from the movie eventually brought many
Fargo residents around. Now, 16 years later, Fargo awaits the debut
of a new cable television show by the same name.
And many residents are less apprehensive about how their
hometown will be portrayed this time around.
Charley Johnson is president and CEO of Fargo’s convention and
visitor’s bureau. He says the TV show can’t be a bad thing for
Fargo because people still talk about the movie.
The FX Network has released few details about the TV show
including its timeline. But that hasn’t stopped people from
speculating about it.

T25 FOOTBALL-AP POLL…
NEW YORK (AP) – Florida took one first-place vote away from
Alabama, leaving the Crimson Tide one shy of being a unanimous No.
1 for a fourth straight week in the AP college football poll. The
Gators blasted then-No. 9 South Carolina 44-11 and ‘Bama beat up on
Tennessee 44-13.
Oregon remains No. 2 for a fifth consecutive week, and Florida,
Kansas State, Notre Dame and LSU are still three through six,

places to No. 8. Ohio State falls two spots to ninth and Southern
Cal inches up one notch to round out the top 10.

NHL-LABOR…
NEW YORK (AP) – The NHL and the players’ association are still
talking, but have no plans yet to return to the bargaining table.
For the second straight day, representatives on both sides of
the lockout had telephone conversations on Sunday. None of those
talks have yet led to concrete negotiations that could lead to an
elusive collective bargaining agreement and get the delayed hockey
season going.
The lockout entered its 36th day on Sunday. All games through
Nov. 1 have been canceled by the NHL, and the league says a deal
must be reached by Thursday for a full 82-game season to be played.
PGA-MCGLADREY CLASSIC …
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) – Tommy Gainey rocketed up the
leaderboard with a 10-under-par 60 and won The McGladrey Classic by
a stroke for his first PGA Tour victory. David Toms finished second
after carding a 63 that got him to 15-under-par.
Third-round co-leaders Jim Furyk (FYOOR’-ihk) and Davis Love III
couldn’t keep up. Furyk shot a 69 and finished two shots back in
third place. Love could do no better than a 1-over 71, finishing in
a three-way tie for fourth place at minus-12.
Gainey is the fourth player this year to rally from at least
seven shots behind in the final round to win on the PGA Tour.
LPGA-SOUTH KOREA…
INCHEON, South Korea (AP) – After squandering the five-shot lead
she held at the end of three rounds, Suzann Pettersen beat Catriona
(kah-TRIHN’-uh) Matthew with a 5-foot birdie putt on the third hole
of playoff to win the HanaBank Championship in South Korea.
Pettersen stumbled her way to a 2-over 74 and finished at 11-under.
Matthew came from off the pace to get to minus-11, firing a 5-under
67.
GENEVA (AP) – Cycling’s governing body has effectively wiped the
record books of Tour de France winners during the Lance Armstrong
era.
The UCI has upheld the findings of the U.S. Anti-doping agency
and agreed to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France
titles and ban him for life. Tour de France organizers say there
will be no winners from 1999-2005.
In world and national news…
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A public viewing for former South
Dakota Senator George McGovern will be held Thursday afternoon at
First United Methodist Church in Sioux Falls.
And funeral services for the former Democratic presidential nominee will be Friday afternoon at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science in Sioux
Falls. McGovern died yesterday at age 90.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Iran’s nuclear intentions, the bloody
crackdown in Syria, economic angst in Europe, security concerns in
Afghanistan and the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, could all be prominent on the agenda tonight when
the presidential candidates meet in their final debate.
And with the race pretty much neck and neck, both President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney will try to present themselves as leaders
worthy of voters’ support.
LONDON (AP) – A terrorism-related trial has begun in London,
where prosecutors say a plot by the three defendants could have
been deadlier than the 2005 mass-transit attacks.
The suspects, all British Muslims, were arrested in September 2011 in the central English city of Birmingham. All three are charged with preparing
for terrorism by plotting a bombing campaign, recruiting others and
fundraising.
LEBANON, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio teenager is scheduled for
sentencing on drug-trafficking charges today in juvenile court.
Officials say they consider Tyler Pagenstecher (PEG’-ehn-steck-er)
to be one of the most prolific drug dealers in the Cincinnati area.
He pleaded guilty in July.
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Jordan says one of its soldiers has been
killed today at the Syrian border in clashes with armed militants
trying to illegally cross into the neighboring country to join
rebels fighting Bashar Assad’s regime.
He was the first Jordanian soldier killed in violence spilling over from the Syrian civil war.
