Cause of fire may never be known

It's quite possible it will never be known what caused the Friday fire that destroyed the Interstate Batteries building in downtown Bismarck.

"I don't even know what we'll be able to find in there," said Rob Carlson, an acting battalion chief for the Bismarck Fire Department, on Saturday.

The build-up of ice in the building, located at 901 E. Main Ave., was extensive after an all-day fire fight by 42 of the department's 54 firefighters.

The city fire marshal will "probably determine it can't be investigated," Carlson said.

" It's time!! The technology for economical transmission of wind generated power needs to be ascertained! The need to give support to the economy of the midwest could be seated in this energy potential. Wind is clean and very available in the center of our country. "

" This article brings back memories.....back when 710 The Fan was born. 710 AM was a good station when it carried FAN programming. Since it started carrying ESPN Radio 24/7, the quality of the station has drastically dropped, in my opinion. It is not worth listening to at all. It is a waste of a frequency. The powers that be at that station made the wrong decision to drop the FAN. I hope they regret it. Hopefully, another station will pick up the FAN soon. It is necessary programming for this area. "

" Dear Ms. Grantier: I was impressed with your fine article, but it left me wondering about "your Don Falconer." I am an architect who designed a house for Mr. and Mrs. Donald Falconer in Soquel, California. Don had a history here in the Santa Cruz area, and worked as Vice President for the local County Bank. I wrote a book which contains some drawings and photos of the "Falconer House," and since I have been trying to locate my old client, your article was shared with me. Do you think your Don and my Don falconer could be the same person? I will follow with a message to see part of my book containing the Falconer House, but the chapter you will see does not list the aforementioned house. Best - Earl Nisbet.

" I am an architect who designed a house for MR. Don Falconer and his wife Eunice in Soquel, California. Could the aforementioned Don Falconer be one and the same? I just finished a book called Taliesin Reflections that has drawings and photos of the house I designe in Soquel for the Falconers. To see part of the book click on :"http:www.atlasbooks.com/marktplc/01609.htm" Thank you, Earl Nisbet.California. "

" Our church in Thunder Bay makes pyrohy and holubci every other week, and charge $5 per-dozen for each ... which is still a bargain for homemade quality. The ladies sell 400-450 dozen of pyrohy and 250-325 dozen of holubci every other week. Thanks to them, this pays the bills and has allowed for a very nice nest-egg for the future. "
