1. The annual payroll will be between $2.5 and $3 million.

2. It cost between $3,000 to $5,000.

3. Monday's West Fargo school board meeting will probably have the atmospherics of an orderly divorce proceeding.

4. After graduating high school, Larson worked in low-paying jobs around Fargo-Moorhead.

5. His soft taps with a rawhide mallet reshape an injured brass saxophone.

6. "I think we got some really good applicants out of it," said Chair Chad Holland.
