Roundtable to focus on
rural housing issues
DEVILS LAKE - Finding suit-
able housing in many rural North
Dakota communities is a difficult
task. In some areas, it has been a
generation since new homes or
apartments were built. In that time,
both the economy and the needs of
the people have changed.
Tools designed to help rural
leaders address shortfalls will be
showcased at a Regional Housing
Roundtable on Wednesday, May 19,
from noon to 3 p.m. in the
Chautauqua Gallery at Lake Region
State College, 1801 College Dr.,
Devils Lake.
"Many communities lack housing
that will accommodate an aging pop-
ulation, and domot have appropriate
workforce housing. At the round-
table, community leaders have an
opportunity to learn about technical
assistance and financial resources
that address these challenges," said
Jolene Kline, North Dakota Housing
Finance Agency's planning and
housing development director,
Roundtable attendees will be
introduced to a Statewide Technical
Assistance Team and learn what
resources these housing profession-
als can provide. The attendees will
also hear about how a demand
analysis can expand housing oppor-
tunities, and they will learn to prior-
itize (musing needs.
"STAT was established-to aid
communities in devising a housing
strategy, and offers the support and
resources needed to help them meet
their housing goals," said Kline,
who heads the group.
Assistance from STAT is target-
ed to communities of less than
20,000 population. A collaboration
of both public and non-profit agen-
cies, the partners help community
leaders define housing needs, devel-
op necessary projects and see the
projects through to completion.
City and county commissioners;
legislators; housing, economic and
job development authority mem-
bers; local lenders; and rural elec-
tric cooperative representatives are
encouraged to attend the round-
table.
To RSVP or for questions, con-
tact Chris Schilken at (701) 662-
4933, (800) 233-8048 or forward-
dl@gondtc.com. The registration
deadline is May 10.
For more information about
housing resources available to rural
communities, contact Jolene Kline
at (701) 328-8080, (800) 292-8621,
(800) 366-6888 (TTY) or

An odd-looking creature, this sub-

• Here's a gret.tt, decorative way to
absorb excess odor irt damp spaces
(like bathrooms or basements). Wrap
a plastic container with pretty shelf

with holes poked in it. It will absorb
the moisture. Check it periodically
and replace the contents.
• "To get rid of the smell of burned

it set in the microwave for a few n'lin-

"E Jamie McMurray
Born: June 3, 1976
Sponsor: Crown Royal
Crew Chief: Dennie Wingo
Car: Ford
Biography:
In 2001 and 2002, McMurray competed full-time in
the Busch Series, driving for Brewco Motorsports.
The latter year turned out better for McMurray, as
he won two races and finished sixth in the overall
points standings. In 2002, in just his second career
Cup Series start, McMurray won the UAW-GM
Quality 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in
Charlotte, NC, setting the record fur the fastest first
time winner in NASCAR history. In 2004,
McMurray finished 11th in the points standings and
missed the Chase for the Cup by 15 points. In
2005, McMurray joined Roush Fenway Racing. His
contract with Reush Fenway Racing was one of
the richest in NASCAR history with a guaranteed
salary of $20 million dollars per year plus bonuses.
In 2006, McMurray's best finish was at Dover
where he finished 2nd. In 2007, he won the Pepsi
400, but failed to qualify for the Chase. In 2006,
McMurray had three third place finishes and fin-
ished the year 16th in the standings. Last year,
McMulTay won the Amp Energy 500, but failed to
qualify for the Chase for the Cup.
Daytona IntemaEonal Speedway, the subject of much scrutiny
after a hole between Tums 1 and 2 caused more than 2 1,2 ;
hours in delays dunng the Daytona 500, will be repaved (_._ _
shortly after the July 3rd Spnnt Cup race. This project marks
just the second Eme in the track's 52-year history that Daytona
is repaving the surface. The last repm4ng took place in 1978.
AsphaR will be used to cover the track surface, skid pads, apron and pit road. Concrete
vll cover the p stalls. DIS President Robin Braig said fans who renew their Daytona
500 Eckets 411 receive a piece of the old surface.

Superspaedway. He broke a 115-race winless streak. The
race set Cup Series records for the number of leaders (29)
and lead changes (88). In the third and final attempt at a
green-white-checkered finish, Harvick pushed 2010
Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray for all but the final
quarter-mile of the final lap before surging past McMurray
and beating him by .011 seconds. Kevin won for the 12th
time in the Cup Series and for the first time at Talladega.
After the race Harvick said, "It really played out perfect for
us today." Juan Montoya, who like McMurray was short on
fuel at the end of the race, finished third.
