i Argus Leader, Sioux Falls, S.D. Sunday, March 10, 4c StateRegion' Former Minn, governor suggests love as-cure for budget mess Official: N.D. school board not subject to voter recall to him that he had started the war ently remove or suspend school board members. Mandaree is on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. Sanstead said the tribal council matter is a much more involved legal question, and needed more thorough research before an opinion could be given.

The governor can remove certain officials from their positions, including a county superintendent of schools, Sanstead said. North Dakota's constitution does not include school board members in its list of public officials that may be recalled, Spaeth's opinion said. Research showed that the constitution's framers did not intend for school board members to be subject to recall, it said. Parents in the Mandaree school district already have filed suit in Northwest District Court against Gwin and Young Bird. The question now is "can we effectively speed that process up," to resolve the school's problems more quickly, Sanstead said.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) North Dakota school board members are not subject to voter recall and cannot be removed by the governor, an opinion by state Attorney General Nicholas Spaeth says. However, school officers may be removed by a court of competent jurisdiction as provided by law, Spaeth's opinion, which was issued Friday, said. Wayne Sanstead, the state superintendent of public instruction, requested the opinion in response to a controversy about the Mandaree school board. Opponents of Mandaree board members Louie Gwin and Leroy Young Bird kept their children out of school last week for at least two days, protesting what they said was the board's misuse of board travel money and a proposed bilingual and bicul-tural school curriculum.

Albert Quie of Minnesota suggested Saturday a potential solution to the Montana Legislature's current budget controversy Christian love. Speaking to about 350 to 400 guests attending the 25th annual Montana Governor's Prayer Breakfast, Quie recounted the budget crisis which occurred in Minnesota during his single term in the statehouse from 1979 to 1983. Quie, a Republican, said his dispute the Legislature concerning one of Minnesota's worst budget crunches was finally resolved when he and his chief political rival in the state Senate, because of a prior religious connection, made mutual political sacrifices.

Quie recounted a similar political success as a. member of Congress when he and a rival, in a spirit of Christian cooperation, compromised on competing legislation and got their compromise passed unanimously. Quie said one of the greatest examples of Christlike humility he ever experienced was during a meeting with the late Egyption President Anwar Sadat.

(AP) More than 125 people attending a recent Crop Protection Clinic took advantage of new information available on insect, disease and weed control that help farmers produce more efficiently. John Furrer, the University of Nebraska coordinator of the Scottsbluff event, said people gathered at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center to take advantage of the available expertise on more than 15 topics during the seminar. "One of the biggest reasons they attend is for an update on what's going on in weed, disease and insect control," Furrer said.

"They tell us they can get unbiased information through us" where other sources might not be as objective. The industry is continually going through a lot of changes, and by taking advantage of new technology the producer can do a better job of producing a crop. One new idea from the seminar could save money next year. "We're stressing economy," Furrer said, explaining that by using the most effective and least costly chemical, the farmer can improve his operation. Fed up with winter The snowman at 1200 W.
