RESSLER DIRECTOR- MANAGER 50 60 -70 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "I think what we're really setting out here is that we're getting some dollars for actual The project has received bipartisan support, but a Democratic senator said last week that the $21.5 million funding level may get sticky because it's $1.5 million more than Sinner wants to spend. until now (Sinner) has made it quite clear he will not sign any bill over his budget without knowing where the money is going to come from," said Rick Maixner, assistant minority leader in the Senate. "If a bill goes to his desk which is over his budget, he may be faced with a very difficult decision of having to veto the bill." Maixner wouldn't say if the governor would veto the bill if it contained more than $20 million for the project, but he said that the appropriation may be amended in the Senate. "It puts us in a difficult political position, let's put it that way," he said. "There's a budget that we have to stick to.

"It's a question of where do we get the money from. Sure, I'd like to have $25 million for the pipeline, but the money's not there." Goetz said the House, by using some general fund money, is showing its commitment to build the pipeline, which has been on the drawing board for about 10 years. "I THINK IT SPEAKS to the dedication the Legislature has to water development in the state," Goetz said. "There's just a realization that water development is important in the state of North Dakota. "People realize and legislators realize that it's not only the Southwest project but, down the road, Contractors under the gun CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "made a mistake" and said it was withdrawing claims for $61,075 in direct political contributions to individual candidates.

It said it seeks payment for another $65,000 in contributions to Republican and Democratic party committees, mostly in the state of Washington. It said these and other expenses, including $1,800 for a dinner with Vice President George Bush, are legitimate community relations expenses that can be charged against weapons contracts. In comments before and after Weinberger's action, General Dynamics Chairman David Lewis said his is a responsible corporation that deals honorably with its government customers and that it has been victimized by exageration and misrepresentation. Early last week it was disclosed that the Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency is questioning more than $4.5 million in a public relations billings by General Dynamics in 1982 alone. projects in other areas of the state." Since the 1983 legislative session, the State Water Commission has spent $6 million to acquire pipeline right of way and prepare the project's final design.

The Water Commission had hoped to sell bonds for the $98 million project and appropriate funds for the entire construction cost at one time, but that plan was ruled unconstitutional by the North Dakota Supreme Court. The court said the bond issue would have exceeded the state's constitutional debt limit. So, project backers turned to a phased funding approach, said Bob Dorothy, project manager for the Water Commission. With equal appropriations in the $20 million range, the pipeline will take about five bienniums to complete, he said. NO WATER WOULD be sent through the line until construction reaches Dickinson, the largest city to contract for pipeline water.

"At this rate, it'll take probably three bienniums to get water to Dickinson and possibly two more to complete it," he said. "The way things are going, we'd be very happy to settle with $20 million or $21 If the Senate passes funding of $21.5 million and it is signed by Sinner, work on the pipeline will begin posthaste once the new biennium commences July 1. In the 1985-87 budget period, the intake structure at Lake Sakakawea, pipe, to the treatment plant site several miles inland about 30 miles of pipe beyond the treatment plant could be completed with $21.5 million, Dorothy said. "We would like to advertise for bids on the first couple jobs in June," he said, with bid openings July 1 and construction beginning soon afterward. AP Laserphoto Bill Winkelman and his wife, Betty.

Farmers trying to save land CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A advantage. All you're heating is your living area," said 30-year-old Mrs. Winkelman, whose baby is due in July. "The baby should be fine," she added. "We will be cutting down on frivolities.

But the baby will get by as babies in more primitive times got by with what was needed." Two years ago, Winkelman was farming land valued at $3,000 an acre that had been in his family since his s. great came from Switzerland. Today, it is worth half that. He got $1,550 an acre for some of his land and $1,700 an acre for the rest. "Those deals were made last fall," he said.

"I think land has been bringing less than that since then." He finds himself in the middle of a credit crunch that is affecting a large portion of the nation's farmers, especially in the Midwest. "Probably the biggest single common cause is the high interest rates coupled heavy debt load," said Winkelman. Group hopes trees will still be planted CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "It would make the pedestrian distance from downtown to Kirkwood so much shorter," she said. "It could be the catalyst that would lead to SO many other things," she added. The Forestry Board applied last fall for a Community Development Block Grant to develop the project, estimated to cost about $90,000.

However, it was not among the grant recipients when the Bismarck City Commission last month gave final approval to Block Grant distribution. The venture was denied funding because it did not meet the federal Housing and Urban Development Department criteria for a slum and blight prevention project, according to Bill Wocken, planner, whose office is a clearing house for the funds. Under HUD's current guidelines a project must be conducted in an area that meets slum or blighted area conditions under city or state definitions and be conducted in an area where there are a substantial number of substandard structures. However, Wocken, in a letter to the Bismarck Development Association wrote, "I do not feel that this area has a 'substanial number of substandard structures' or that it would meet the definition of slum or blight state in the North Dakota Century Code. "I know that we have talked about this project in the past and felt that it was eligible under previous HUD regulations.

"The difference that I see between past rules and present regulations is the emphasis on the national goals," Woken wrote. National goals include lower income benefits, elimination of slum and blight and local emergencies. However, Wocken continued, "since program regulations change very often we normally find that our ineligible projects may become eligible again in later years." Thompson and the Forestry Board made its pitch for aesthetic improvement to the north Civic Center parking lot because it was "visually unsightly, environmentaly unsound and psychologically forbidding. "There are no visual borders to the parking lot, which leaves the user with the feeling of being in a moonscape," the board wrote in its grant request. The Forestry Board sought Block Grant money for the Fifth Street project because the street "is paralelled by various parking lots, vacant lots, and older buildings which provide no coherence or unity for the motorist moving from the downtown business district to the Kirkwood Plaza.

"This lack of unity detracts from the upbeat mood of the downtown mall as one goes to the shopping center and provides no linkage between the two areas." The board's solution to the problems at the parking lot and on Fifth Street, according to the grant request, would be to plant trees around the lot's perimeter to "invite visual interest to motorists on Seventh and Fifth streets and Sweet and Front avenues to soften the harsh appearance of the parking lot. "It will enhance the architecture of the Civic Center and leave the users of this facility with a better impression of the Civic Center. The planting would greatly benefit the entire area and would hopefully encourage other properties to beautify their landscapes." On Fifth Street the solution would be to plant trees to "provide visual unity and coherence between downtown and Kirkwood Shopping Center. It will link the two retail areas together with a landscaped thoroughfare, providing relief from the asphalt and concrete in existance there now." Centennial planning going OK, but more money is needed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A commission from 11 members to 15 Another idea is to leave behind budget, which includes Davison's homecoming? Right on schedule, according to Philip Davison Bismarck, executive director of North Dakota Centennial Commission.

members. Two members would be senators appointed by the president of the Senate, and the other two would be representatives appointed by the speaker of the House. The bill has passed both chambers and will now be sent on the governor for his approval. The idea behind the commission is to foster plans and promote the centennial. Davison and Mike Foster, state tourism director, say the commission is working with plenty of ideas.

But so far no decisions have been made. "I get phone calls every day," says Davison about people contributing to plans. "I tell them the commission hasn't made any decisions. We want to see communities, take over a lot of the projects." Although nothing is definite, the commission is still compiling lists of things to make it the best celebration. Those ideas include asking the U.S.

Postal Service to issue a commemorative stamp honoring North Dakota, and perhaps, South Dakota, Montana and Washington, all of which were granted statehood in 1889. some kind of legacy whether it's a statue or planting hundreds of trees. Still on the drawing board is to have some type of traveling show that could go from town to town. The show might involve visual or theatrical art. The commission is also looking at a publishing a book on North Dakota.

All of these ideas need enthusiasm, energy and, of course money. While both Davison and Foster say the centennial projects should generate their own money, donations and grants will be solicited. Foster estimates projects could run between $1 million and $2 million. "But that's such a ballpark figure," Foster admits. "Who knows what it will really be? Washington has already been appropriated $1 million from their Legislature.

They're way ahead of Still, the state is chipping in some money. Since the commission was authorized by the 1981 and 1983 Legislatures, about $15,000 has been appropriated through the governor's office, according to Foster. The commission is currently asking for $140,000 for its operating salary and travel expenses for commission members. HB1013 originally included $43,000 from the general fund for the commission the amount recommended by former Gov. Allen I.

Olson. But the amount was increased by the House Appropriation Committee to $140,000 and sent to the House floor, where it has passed 93-9. Castgate FUNERAL SERVICE DIRECTORS CHUCK EASTGATE BOB EASTGATE JOHN LAWLOR CLEM GERHARDT BISMARCK STEELE 23rd St. Divide, Bismarck 223-7322.
