Letter: Life in the slow lane
When I was commuting in the Twin Cities for many years I would go with the flow. I tried to leave space ahead of me, and let others merge in and out. The flow was sometimes well over the speed limit, and sometimes zero miles per hour stuck in traffic. But now, when I head out on the highway with some room, I make a point of setting my cruise control exactly at the speed limit.
We recently had a Sunday trip which included driving on Interstate 94 in Minnesota for about 110 miles. I set my cruise control right at 70 (can’t drive 69 for some reason) and settled into the right lane. Driving 75 versus 70 would have saved us only about 10 minutes on that stretch. It also would have meant we’d be weaving in and out of traffic lanes, risking a ticket, and having someone behind us a few feet off our bumper who wanted to drive 80 or 85 miles an hour.
I counted 20 cars passing us during one 10-minute stretch, which seemed representative of traffic during our 100 or so minutes on the highway. We passed one auto and two semis. That means about 200 cars were speeding and only two cars that were not.
Maybe I’m a grumpy old man, and maybe those passing us were shaking their heads or cursing ‘that nut’ who was driving the speed limit. But when we hear frequent cries about the need for law and order, rule of law, obeying the law or respecting the law, what could be simpler than driving the legal speed limit? Why not slow down a bit and enjoy the ride, safely?

GRAND FORKS — During breaks in action in the first half, UND brought out and honored Jim Kleinsasser and Digger Anderson — two former players with signature moments in the UND-North Dakota State rivalry.
On Saturday, the Fighting Hawks couldn’t find their next rivalry hero.
Instead, NDSU’s Cole Payton scored on an 8-yard run with 2 minutes, 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter as the Bison beat UND 15-10 in front of a sellout crowd of 12,749 in the Alerus Center.
No. 13 UND fell to 6-4, with four losses by a combined 14 points. The No. 1 Bison improved to 10-0, securing the Missouri Valley Football Conference title in the process.
“It hurts, right?” UND first-year head coach Eric Schmidt said. “It was one of those games where it was an ugly football game. It’s frustrating. It’s a learning process. I just think you have to continue to do the things that winning teams do, and you have to be loyal to winning. It takes what it takes every single week.”
As has been the case in all four of UND’s losses this season, the Fighting Hawks had a chance to win the game late.
UND took over at its own 29 with about 80 seconds left and no timeouts trailing by five.
Jerry Kaminski connected with B.J. Fleming, Korey Tai and Sam Strandell as the Hawks moved the ball to the Bison 28 with 15 seconds left.
On second-and-6 with time running out, Kaminski took a shot toward the end zone for Tai. The ball was intercepted by NDSU’s Anthony Chideme-Alfaro.

After throwing 22 touchdowns to two interceptions through UND’s first eight games of the season, Kaminski — a first-year starting sophomore — has thrown no touchdowns and five interceptions in the team’s current two-game losing streak.
Kaminski finished 21-for-38 with three interceptions for 170 yards and was sacked three times.
UND’s leading rusher was Sawyer Seidl, who had 23 carries for 68 yards and a first-quarter touchdown run. Seidl had a four-game streak of at least 100 rushing yards snapped against the Bison.

NDSU’s offense only managed 10 first downs.
Payton threw for 125 yards, no touchdowns and had a first-quarter pass picked off by UND linebacker Malachi McNeal, which set up the Seidl touchdown.
UND out-gained NDSU 286 yards to 268 and ran 30 more offensive plays.

The Bison were just 2-for-12 on third down.
NDSU star wide receiver Bryce Lance had three catches for 61 yards.
“Coach Schmidt was preaching to us how good those guys were and how we’re going to stop them,” McNeal said. “Coach had a really good game plan, how to approach angles on Cole Payton and how to guard Bryce Lance. I think we have a defensive coach who really knows ball and really studies them. It really helps because it helps you go out there and play fast and play confident.”
NDSU’s game-winning drive was set up when UND went for fourth-and-1 at midfield with 4:24 to play and Kaminski was stuffed on a quarterback run up the middle.
The Bison scored four plays later, with the help of a 30-yard catch by tight end Reis Kessel.
“(UND) is playing really good defense,” NDSU coach Tim Polasek said. “They played bracket coverage today, and we’ve got to have a better plan against it. We’ve got to be better. To Eric’s credit, they did a nice job adjusting. It looks like we’re going to have a hell of a chess match moving forward.”

DEVILS LAKE UPSETS KINDRED FOR FIRST TRIP TO STATE TITLE GAME SINCE 2010
KINDRED — The last time Devils Lake faced Kindred, the Vikings ran away with a 30-point win. But in Friday night’s rematch, the Firebirds flipped the script and won by 1 in overtime.
Devils Lake jumped out to a 14-0 lead before Kindred battled back to tie things up at 14 in the fourth. Quarterback Mason Palmer then found Bryar Exner for a go-ahead touchdown, but Kindred’s Myles Thielges answered with a keeper to send the game to overtime.
In the extra period, Palmer and Exner connected again to give the Firebirds the lead. Kindred scored on its next drive, but the extra point to extend the game sailed wide.
The Firebirds are heading to the Dakota Bowl for the first time in 15 years and will face Minot North.

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – November 7 marks deer opener in North Dakota, with regular firearms permitted for use through November 23.
Valley News spoke with Mike Muhonen, owner of the Outdoorsman store in Fargo, who shared tips on proper gear and tactical tools for the hunting season.
Safety first with bright orange gear
Muhonen says hunters should wear bright orange to prevent accidental shooting accidents. Bright orange lets other hunters know you are not prey and makes it easy to see you
Cold weather preparation essential
November hunting in North Dakota can involve hours of waiting outdoors in cold conditions. Muhonen suggests hunters bring a beanie, thermal underclothes, insulated socks, a heater, thick pants and thick gloves.
All of these items are available at the Outdoorsman Store in Fargo.
Tactical tools to improve success
Hunters looking to increase their chances should consider game calls and game scents, according to Muhonen.
he says It’s important to fit in, disguising the smell of human and using deer and elk sounds can improve your chances of a successful hunt.
Hunting regulations apply
Hunters must follow North Dakota hunting regulations. According to North Dakota law and the recommendation of the Game and Fish Director, open seasons are declared for taking deer with bow, firearms, muzzleloader and during youth deer season.
