of Housing and Urban

lion award was made available to
the NDHFA as part of the third
round o'f the federally-funded
Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP3). The intent of the
federal program is to stabilize
neighborhoods and stem the decline
of property values.
Pre-applications must be
received in the NDHFA office by
the close of business on May 6,
2011. More information is available
by contacting Jolene Kline at (701)

NSP was initially funded by the
federal Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008.
The North Dakota Housing

iting pre-applications for funding
that can be used to purchase fore-
closed, abandoned or vacant prop-
erty in targeted communities in
order to redevelop that property
into safe, decent and affordable
housing.
The agency is giving preference
to applications that create rental
units.
"Only properties in targeted
areas are eligible," said Jolene

gallons or less in volume can be
used to transport legal live baitfish
and other bait in water. All other
fish species, including game fish,
may not be held in water and/or
transported in bait buck-
ets/containers when away from a
water body. Game fish cannot be
held in water in any container (e.g.
cooler) on shore, unless the water is
from melting ice only.
Other laws in place since 2008
include:
All water and aquatic veg-
etation must be drained or removed
from watercraft prior to entering the
state. No live aquatic organisms
(e.g. fathead minnows, frogs, leech-
es, etc.) may be imported into the
state.
All aquatic vegetation
must be removed from boats, per-
sonal watercraft, trailers and asso-
ciated equipment such as fishing
poles/lures before leaving a body
of water. Although time out of
water needed to remove aquatic
vegetation is allowed, all equip-
ment must be free of vegetation
when transporting watercraft and.
equipment away from a boat ramp,
access area or shoreline. This
includes livewells and other inter-
nal compartments, and containers
such as bait buckets.
,,Over the past-three years, N)rth
Dakota has implemented several
new rules intended to reduce the
risk of aquatic nuisance species
transfer throughout the state.
The most recent of those rules.
according to State Game and Fish
Department fisheries chief Greg
Power, is a requirement that anglers
in all cases must now drain their
boat's livewell when leaving a lake
or river. Previously, anglers could
maintain water in their livewell if
they were transporting fish.
"This new rule went into effect
last October," Power said, "but this
spring is the first time most anglers
will be affected by it."
Pulling plugs and draining water
from livewells, baitwells and bilges
must be conducted within the
access site, which includes parking
lots immediately adjacent to the
ramp. Anglers should continue to
practice proper boat ramp etiquette,
Power said, by pulling their boat
away from the ramp during busy
times to complete all needed drain-
ing.
Anglers may use ice in a con-
tainer to transport fish away from a
water body, Power noted.
Also part of the October 2010

Scientists have studied natural
climate change for quite a while.
Part of what we have learned
about past climates comes from
tree rings, and thereon hangs an
interesting tale going back more
than a century.
Flagstaff, Arizona was a pretty
small burg in the 1890s, without
the street lamps of big cities Back
East. It also has an elevation of
7,000 feet, making it well over a
mile above sea level.
It was those two conditions that
brought a young astronomer
named A. E. Douglass to the area
in 1894. He was commissioned to
set up a new telescope by Percival
Lowell.
• Lowell was an amateur
astronomer, fascinated by tele-
scopic images of Mars that includ-
ed long lines. The linear features
seemed to run from the poles
toward the middle of the Red
Planet. Lowell speculated the fea-
tures were Martian canals, dug by
an advanced civilization to bring
water from the poles to lands were
it was becoming more scarce.
Unlike most of us, Lowell had
the money to bankroll :he investi-
gation of his ideas. (In Lowell's
family, when one generation died,
it handed over real wealth to the
next round or two of Lowells.
When my grandmother died, I
inherited a sweater. But I digress.)
Once Douglass got Lowell's
telescope set up, he studied Mars
alongside.Lowell. But Douglass
came to doubt Lowell's interpreta-
tion of what could be seen of
Mars. In time, Lowell fired
Douglass.
Douglass made a living in
Flagstaff for a while as a Justice
of the Peace and also by teaching.
But he was a true scientist, and he
kept his research interests alive as
best he could. One of his interests
was Our Mr. Sun.
One thing astronomers had
noted about the sun were the dark
patches, or sunspots, that some-
times could be seen on its face.
The sunspots varied a lot in num-
ber over substantial periods of
time. and they also appeared to go
through a much faster l l-year
cycle of smaller ups and downs.
Some people wondered if the
sunspots created climate change
on Earth'. It seemed important to
understand them better if they

determined whether farmers
would soon have good or bad
yields. But studying the sunspot
cycles was limited to the time
people had been looking at the
sun's face and keeping records
about it.
Here's where some creative
thinking comes into the story.
Douglass couldn't help but see
the lumber industry working
around Flagstaff, cutting down the
big ponderosa pines of the area.
He noticed that the width of the
tree rings in the trees varied quite
a bit. He wondered if the 11-year
cycle of the sun had influenced
climate in Arizona in a way that
was recorded in the growth of the
ponderosas.
Douglass went to work looking
at the freshly cut trees. He meas-
ured the width of tree rings, the
thick ones and the thin ones. He
established "clear patterns in the
ponderosas of the area, with some
distinctive thick-thin sequences in
the rings. Of course, it was easy to
count the rings back through time
to learn in what pecific year the
trees had done well versus when
they hadn't.
Then Douglas started to look at
dead wood of the area. The outer-
most rings of some specimens of
fallen trees sometimes matched up
with the distinctive Sequence of
the living trees. When that hap-
pened he could count farther back
in time with the older wood, and
extend his thick-thin record keep-
ing.
Next Douglass started to use
old wood in the archeological
sites of the Southwest, wood from
Navaho hogans and even older
structures. Eventually he and his
colleagues who had taken up his
methods had a good record of the
thick-thin rings in the Southwest
going back to the days of the most
ancient ruins of the region,
What Douglass discovered in
the tree rings were clear patterns
showing how much climate could
vary. There were years and
decades of miserable tree growth,
then long stretches of time in
which the trees had flourished.
Most interesting of all, it started to
seem likely that climate change
was a factor in what had brought
eari] civilizations in the
Southwest to their knees.
Tree rings are still being stud-
ied around the world. Tfiey give
us one picture of how climate has
varied - and it's not a comforting
bedtime tale about a kindly
Mother Nature.

of the rural Northwest, was
trained as a geologist at
Princeton and Harvard.)
