North Dakota native and legendary singer and composer Peggy Lee is remembered.
Bismarck is growing and that's creating a tricky situation for the school district.
And help is on the way for North Dakotans with questions about tax filing.
From NBC North Dakota News, this is the noon report.
Hello everyone, welcome to this Tuesday edition of the noon report. I'm Brenda Skolton.
And I'm Al Gustin. I'll have farm news in just a few minutes.
We'll get speculation about the possibility of a new farm bill this year.
We'll get the latest on the Wimbledon elevator and we'll find out too why many elevators are fearful of their future.
But first let's check news and weather.
Thanks Al.
Grammy winning singer and composer Peggy Lee died during the night of a heart attack at the age of 81.
Lee was born in Jamestown, North Dakota and received the state's highest honor, the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award in 1975.
Shelley Smith looks back at a legendary career.
Peggy Lee's smoky, sultry voice could light up a room.
One jazz critic remarked, if you don't feel a thrill when Peggy Lee sings, you're dead, Jack.
Born Norma Ekstrom in Jamestown, North Dakota, Peggy Lee was a survivor.
Her mother died when she was just four and she often told the story of a wicked stepmother.
Well she was cool. She beat me a lot for about 11 years.
It was Benny Goodman, the king of swing, who first spotted Peggy Lee.
A string of hits like this one made her a star.
But the platinum blonde who seemed to exude sex could do more than sing.
During her 50 years in show business, she appeared in the 1953 film The Jazz Singer with Danny Thomas.
Jerry, if you're looking for a refuge, the only place you'll ever find it is within yourself.
And earned an Oscar nomination in 1955 for Pete Kelly's Blues opposite Jack Webb.
One of her favorite projects landed her in court.
In 1955 she co-wrote songs for Disney's Lady and the Tramp.
Thirty-six years later, she sued Disney for a portion of the profits from video sales and won a multi-million dollar judgment.
She appeared several times on The Today Show here in 1983 with Gene Shallot.
She is survived by her daughter Nikki, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Peggy Lee, dead of a heart attack at age 81.

Lee received an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Jamestown College two years ago.
Her daughter Nikki Lee Foster accepted the award on her mother's behalf.
MyI official say more than a dozen police department employees and several firefighters were exposed to anhydrous ammonia
while responding to a trained enrollment that leaked the chemical on Friday.
Fire Chief Harold Hoogstead says none of his firefighters went to the hospital.
But he says they had scratchy throats and burning eyes.
Police Chief Dan Draovich says dispatchers and other police employees were checked at the hospital.
The police chief says he came close to shutting down the dispatch center because of the fumes.
But the ammonia cloud lifted before it was necessary.
A Ward County deputy was caught in the chemical cloud for about 45 minutes before he was rescued.
He was examined at the hospital and went back to work a few hours later.
A man-dan-man is in custody in connection with a weekend robbery.
Police Chief Dennis Rohrer says a deputy saw the man driving a van in the area of Saturday's robbery at a Stamart store in Mandan.
Rohrer said officers tried to follow the man but he disappeared.
The police chief says the van later was reported stolen from the area where the suspect lives.
He was arrested Saturday night. He has not yet been formally charged.
Morton County Sheriff Leo Snyder says the man served time earlier for misdemeanor assault of a police officer, disorderly conduct and drug paraphernalia.
Authorities say the Saturday robbery occurred after the same suspect tried unsuccessfully to rob a service station and a convenience store.
Grand Forks Police say a man found dead in his apartment on Saturday may have been injured in a crash earlier.
Preliminary autopsy results show 20-year-old David Charles Larson II had a chest injury that led to internal bleeding.
Police Lieutenant Dennis Egerbrotten says Larson may have been in a vehicle crash.
Egerbrotten said police found Larson's car damaged late Friday night after it apparently hit something hard.
Egerbrotten says police looked for Larson that night but couldn't find him.
The manager of Larson's apartment building found him dead in the apartment the next day.
It looks like Big K is in big trouble.
Kmart, the nation's third largest discount retailer, may file for bankruptcy.
Some analysts say it could happen as early as today. It would be the largest retail bankruptcy on record.
Published reports say the Kmart board met late last night to hammer out the details of a financial plan to allow the company to continue operating under bankruptcy protection.
Meanwhile, Kmart food supplier Fleming Company has halted shipments to the chain because it failed to make its regular weekly payments and owes $78 million.
Kmart is the nation's number three discount retailer behind Walmart and Target.
While schools around North Dakota are shrinking, that's not really the case for Bismarck Public Schools.
As the community grows and new housing developments are open, families with children in school are moving to the outskirts of the school district.
Well, that means overcrowding in some schools and enrollment shortages in others.
The school district has gone to great measures to compile data and outline solutions to the problem.
Now they want your input.
Our job as school district administrators, as the school officials, is to make sure there's balance and equity across the district.
So I guess we're presenting this to the public and saying, you know, we see an issue here.
Now, do you, are you seeing the same thing? Do you see this as an issue too?
Tonight at 6 on some of our NBC North Dakota news stations, education reporter Jamie Donegan will take an in-depth look at some of the proposals the district has come up with and what it all means to you and your children.
The IRS tax tour kicked off today in North Dakota.
The program is designed to provide face-to-face help to people in areas where there are no local IRS offices.
Teams will crisscross the state between today and late February, hitting 21 communities.
Officials won't answer questions, hand out forms, and help with tax problems.
No appointments are necessary.
The same services are available at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers in Bismarck, Minot Fargo, and Grand Forks.
And rice won't do for some newlyweds.
The lovebirds want doves released at their weddings.
The owner of Carousel Acres says live birds are more popular than ever for weddings celebrations.
She does four or five weddings a weekend in the Pontiac, Michigan area.
Her doves are actually trained white homing pigeons.
She says they'll find their way home from as far away as 600 miles, but she'll only release them within a 50-mile radius.
She says the birds sometimes get home faster than she does.
And, Cliff, there may not be any doves in the air, but there are snowflakes in the air.
Yes, there are, and we'll tell you where it's snowing and how much we can expect in weather that's next.

Good afternoon, welcome back to the noon report. Well you know we are in the dead of winter that time period between January 10th and February 10th when it gets really cold and sometimes snows.
And that's what's happening outside today. Let's take you outside and show you our live Bismarck Skywatch camera. You can see the flurry is coming down. We're expecting about an inch or so in South Central North Dakota.
Other folks have had a whole lot more. One viewer called in and said there's about five inches on the ground around Devil's Lake and in the past three or four days up to five inches in and around Kildare.
Fifteen hundredths of an inch of precipitation already on the ground at Garrison. That could transform into at least two inches of snow. It's been snowing in Minot but check out these temperatures.
Check out where the cold air is and where it hasn't reached yet. Three in Devil's Lake, three in Minot, nine in Williston and in the south, 31 in Dickinson, 24 at this hour in Bismarck, 23 in Jamestown and Fargo, five in Grand Forks.
So obviously the cold air is going to be making its way here later on this afternoon. That warm air we experienced yesterday being pushed out by the cold air moving in fast from Canada.
We're expecting highs today. We'll say around 12 to 24. Now these daytime highs were set early this morning and we'll see falling temperatures throughout the afternoon along with those falling snowflakes.
Winds will be out of the north at five to ten miles an hour. How about tonight? Well continuing flurries or light snow throughout the region and a lot colder to the north than the south.
We'll say zero to ten below for the north and maybe five to ten above for Bismarck and Dickinson. Winds will continue out of the north at five to ten miles an hour.
Now our seven day forecast shows us that that cold air will hang around tomorrow with highs in the upper teens and continued flurry activity.
But then warming somewhat as we head into the weekend. Highs on Friday around 30 and mid-twenties on Saturday.
Al, what's coming up next in Agnews? I hear the farm debate is heating up again.
Well, Congress will be back in a session. They'll be talking about the Farm Bill. You bet, Cliff. And we'll be talking about that on Farm News next.
There's something that I've heard this day.

Hello everybody, now the farm news and Congress goes back into session this week.
Many farmers and farm groups hoping for a quick passage of new farm legislation, but that appears anything but certain right now.
Tom Strifell is an analyst with AgriMark, and he was telling the Sunflower Growers at a meeting in Mandan today his best guess is the current farm bill will stay as is.
Strifell thinks Congress will bring back the Democratic Harkin bill, will work on it, but won't get it passed in time to implement it for this crop year.
He also thinks loan rates won't be changed because it's an election year, and he thinks there will be a second amped up payment, something the President has favored.
Congressman Pomeroy also at the Sunflower meeting told us he remains hopeful that a bill can be passed for this crop year, and Pomeroy points out that there's about $7 billion in the budget for 2002.
If a farm bill is not passed, he says, then Congress needs to find some way, perhaps through disaster legislation, to get that money committed for the current crop year.
The observers say, too, that something that works against quick action on the farm bill, making it less likely, is the fact that Congress is likely to focus its attention on the fallout from the collapse of Enron in the first few weeks here after they go back into session.
Former patrons of the bankrupt grain elevator at Wimbledon will get the latest news about their elevator today.
The news doesn't appear to be good.
The officials say the elevator doesn't have enough cash or grain to pay its patrons. Public Service Commission and the federal authorities are now involved in an insolvency process.
John Melky at the Public Service Commission said they're trying to identify who, in fact, is eligible for reimbursement.
Today's meeting will be at the Wimbledon Community Building from 1 to 3 this afternoon.
Railroad freight rates were a big topic at this year's North Dakota Granulars Convention in Fargo.
Many country elevators fear that Burlington, Northern Santa Fe's preferential inverse rate structure will force them out of business.
It's whole industries and whole regions of the country that are totally captive to single railroads.
It's that focus that brings on the problems with inverse rate structures.
How serious is this problem?
And we built a nice elevator, spending a million and a half dollars to build that elevator, and convinced our patrons to do that.
But what this is doing is just plain, it's going to bust us.
The NSF officials say they'll meet with the governor's office soon to defend their freight rate structure.
The president of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange thinks they should consider tightening delivery specifications in order to increase interest in the Durham Wheat Futures contract.
Minneapolis Exchange eased the Durham delivery specs a year and a half ago so they would more closely resemble USDA's quality standards for number two Durham.
Some observers say that Durham Millers apparently want higher quality, and four-year-old Durham Contract has struggled with light volume.
But officials say the exchange at this point has no plans to eliminate the Durham contract.
Strike prices now for Durham and the rest of the commodities on this day after the long holiday weekend.
Late this morning in Chicago, wheat under some pressure, a carryover of selling that began on Friday, with the nearby March wheat contract in Chicago down by three and a half.
Corn down two and a quarter, oats were up a cent and a quarter, and soybeans were down a cent and a quarter.
Minneapolis spring wheat for March down a cent and a half.
Prairie States at Williston, 14 percent spring wheat at $2.74.
Top Durham at $3.75.
Winter wheat at $2.58, and barley at $1.55.
Enderland Sunflower, $9.15, but $9.95 for New Sun.
Velvet Canola at $10.13, West Fargo Flax, $4.95.
Friday's cattle on feed report was called friendly, but as has been so often the case in recent months,
a friendly report doesn't necessarily mean higher futures prices the next day.
Nearby live cattle futures today from 15 to 37 lower late this morning.
Feeder cattle 12 to 40 lower.
Lean hogs unchanged to 57 lower.
No report on fed cattle trade, cows and lambs steady, and hogs a dollar higher in the cash market.
Now, Wishick Livestock was selling its light 350 to 550 pounds deer calves from 100 to 118.50,
while 600 to 700 pounds of deer was brought 85 to 95 and a quarter.
Heifers that weighed 4 to 550 brought from 90 to 104.
Six white heifers returned 79 to 86 and a quarter.
At Sitting Bull Auction in Williston, deer that weighed 650 to 750 brought 83 and a quarter to 88.50.
Some 522 pound heifers returned $92 a hundred weight.
586 pound heifers brought 86.
That's a look at farm news and markets.
Stay with us for more of it in the report.
Farm news and markets, brought to you by DeKalb Roundup Ready Canola.
Would you like higher canola returns and cleaner fields? Listen to these growers.
We probably yielded maybe 300 pounds an acre more on our weanier fields than we did if we would have had conventional variety, sir.
Our bottom line on Roundup Ready Canola has been very good.
It's easy to market. You know, it's clean. There's no dockage.
I'm gonna stick with Roundup Ready Canola. It's proven itself and I'm happy with it.
Look for greater returns and cleaner fields. With Roundup Ready Canola, it's simple, more profitable.
NBC Thursday. The Friends story continues.
Just a crush.
Hi, sweetie.
I love you.
The Friends discover Joey's feelings for Rachel.
I know.
You like Rachel? What am I gonna do?
And Rachel and Ross learn the sex of the baby.
Woo!
Find out if it's a boy or a girl.
All new Friends must see TV Thursday.
The auction market proves it. White calves may bring more per pound, but heavy calves return more dollars.
Using gelfie adds pounds of weaning weight to your calves, and that means a bigger calf check.
But by using gelfie, you also build in outstanding maternal traits. That means heifers you can keep.
Gelfie is the total package. So if your calf check doesn't measure up, it's time for gelfie.
Plan to attend the North Dakota Gelfie Association's Golden Rule sale January 28th at KISS Livestock in Manhattan.
I'm the reason everybody likes Taco John's meat and potato burritos.
That's bull. I'm the reason.
Meat and potato burritos, loaded with specially seasoned beef or jar-grilled chicken, and a whole lot of potato alloys.
There's a whole lot of Mexican going on, going on to Taco John.
Hey, amigos. I am the reason people love meat and potato burritos.
I'm gonna peck his eye out.
Which one?
Your choice.
And welcome to our interview segment of our noon report today, and joining me is John McMartin, the Chamber of Commerce President here in the Magic City.
And John, you're no stranger to the folks in this town, when you stretch the imagination, and you're a busy guy.
We both stay busy. We've been talking about that, Kim. Life gets incredibly complex for both of us.
And you have many Chamber activities, and sometimes those get lost in the news and whatnot. So what's coming up?
Well, Kim, the Chamber's mission is to make Minot a better place in which to live and work.
And, of course, one of the areas we focus on are our business members.
We've got a program called Right Start, where we've got volunteers that get out and talk about why people want to move to Minot,
and what there is to see and do in the Minot area. We do that twice a month out at the base, and other places here in town as people ask for it.
We've got a couple of issues. I don't want to interrupt you from saying, what do you find for the reasons, John, when you say people want to move?
Well, people say there's nothing to do. And what we've done with the Right Start presentation, Kim, is point out the 15 or 20 reasons,
15 or 20 or 30 or 40 things that there are to see and do in the Minot area, not only around here, but throughout North Dakota,
from the symphony and the opera to the zoo and the utilization of the parks to Teddy Roosevelt Park to the Miracle Highway.
And there's just a variety of things that if people take the time to get out and look in their own backyard, there are lots of things to do.
And people that do that have a different impression about North Dakota.
A lesson I learned several years ago, I was up in Alaska, and I'm taking in the mountains and the bears and the caribou and the moose and the oceans and the whales,
and I talked to a couple of guys in Anchorage, and I said, what do you guys do when you really want to get away?
And they told me, we go to North Dakota because it's flat, and you have birds and potholes. So sometimes when you're here, you don't realize what's here.
Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's what we want to point out.
We tell people, if you don't get out and don't enjoy the great outdoors, you aren't going to like your North Dakota experience, because that's what it's about.
Kim, we've got a tech expo, which KMOT happens to be a co-sponsor of, coming up the end of February, February 28th to the exact.
We'll be out at the State Fair Center. We've got a senior vice president in marketing from Apple coming in as a keynote speaker.
We're looking forward to that opportunity with you.
Another opportunity with KMOT happens to occur this Thursday night.
We've got business after hours from 5 to 7 out at the State Fair Center in conjunction with the Ag Expo.
And all of these events, Kim, give our members, our business members, the 700-plus business members, an opportunity to interact with the public and each other.
Okay. And that's, of course, Thursday, Friday, Saturday out there.
I know the chamber also has some views and some stands, and I'm going to give you a form here, John. We've got some time left.
I know you folks had a meeting this morning. Can you update us?
Sure, Kim. Thank you very much for that opportunity.
There is an issue facing the public coming up, our vote on March 5th.
Back in November, the chamber board took a position saying that we supported the position of the mayor's committee.
This morning, we sat down and invited Bob Horn and Bob Hale to come in and speak to us, one representing the folks that want to have the tax passed and the other one that thinks it should be stopped.
The board listened to both and agreed to extend its unanimous recommendation that a yes vote is recommended.
And I think what the board did, Kim, is, you know, on any side, you can look at something as a glass being half empty or half full.
And the board decided what they needed to do was take a look at things as being half full and looking towards the future.
That this is a golden opportunity for us to work towards our future.
And after all, given our mission that our business members have endorsed to make us a better place to live and work, we see that as the future to Minot.
We're down to about 15 seconds, John. We're talking about this board. These are long-term Minot residents, businessmen, have a pretty good handle on things.
Absolutely. We've got small businessmen, a couple of employees to some of the largest employers in town, all that have a vested interest here in town, longtime residents, longtime business people.
Okay. John, thanks for being our guest today.
Thank you, Kim.
All right. And we will be back with more right after this.

With how busy we are, one of our biggest time savers is making a favorite recipe that we can cook in a big, big batch and use it fresh and be able to reheat it at another time.
I mean, it sure makes things go a lot smoother. Well, here's a tasty chili that tastes as good the second time around as it did the first, sometimes better.
Now, in a large soup pot, we brown a pound of lean ground beef and a chopped onion over a medium-high heat for maybe six, seven minutes.
To that, we add two cans of pinto beans, juice and all, a can of diced tomatoes, a can each of tomato sauce and green chilies,
two tablespoons of chili powder, a teaspoon of ground cumin, and a half teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
Now, we reduce the heat to medium-low. We cook it for about an hour, storing it until the chili has thickened up. And that's it. Done.
And yes, any brands will do fine. Oh, if we want it spicier, we can add a dash or two of the pepper sauce or cayenne pepper.
And if we're not going to serve it immediately, we can store it in freezer containers or bags in the fridge or freezer.
And then when we're ready, without a lot of rushing and fussing at the end of a hectic day, all we need to do is reheat it,
serve it in bowls with our favorite fixings, and it's easiest can be for us, happy for them.
And if you'd like the recipe, just send a self-addressed stamp, then we'll mark, ready to go chili.
To me, Mr. Food, right here at the station. And we'll get it back to you for being a home-cooked hero the first time around
and the bonus second time around, because no matter what time our gang comes rushing in,
we're ready with a home-cooked bowl of what's so good.
You've always got something good. We've got something good as well, and that is a cookbook to give away to Janice Ennis from Minot.
I hope I have that right. Janice or Janice Ennis from Minot, you are the winner of a KMOT Favorite Recipe Cookbook,
and we will get that out to you in the mail.
Coming up in the news tonight on our evening report at 6 o'clock, our coverage actually begins with first news at 5 o'clock.

They were among several rescue crews out. We'll detail their story.
We'll have the latest from the press briefing, which is coming up at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
We'll find out how the cleanup is going and just how soon the residents of Terra Sita-Baleo can get back in their home.

Minot residents are still feeling the effects of the anhydrous ammonia spill after a train derailment last Friday.
Minot police lieutenant Steve Kukowski, who lives near the derailment site, says he lost vision in one eye, but has been told he will regain his sight slowly.
He says he and others did not have the information they needed to respond to the spill.
National Transportation Safety Board officials say they'll take a closer look at the rules for moving chemicals such as anhydrous.
The spill killed one person and injured hundreds more.
We'll have more coverage on the anhydrous aftermath on the evening report at Six.
North Dakota native and singing legend Peggy Lee has died.
Lee passed away yesterday of a heart attack in her Los Angeles home.
She left North Dakota for Hollywood shortly after graduating from Wimbledon High School.
A real emblem of Scandinavian perseverance, of knowledge, of not...
She was never intimidated. She worked with the best in the world.
And she came from North Dakota.
A native of Jamestown, Lee became famous for her sultry singing voice and acting.
She's known best for hits like Fever and Grammy winner Is That All There Is.
Her movies included The Jazz Singer and Pete Kelly's Blues, which won her an Academy Award nomination in 1955.
In 1975, Lee was awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Roughrider Award, North Dakota's highest honor.
