North Dakota city skips a day on new calendar

[February 04, 2010]  GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) -- North Dakota residents and others relying on a new calendar issued by the city of Grand Forks will get a jump-start on February.

The recently issued City of Grand Forks 2010 Calendar is missing Sunday, Jan. 31.

City spokesman John Bernstrom says the error was noticed when boxes of the calendar printed by Fine Print of Grand Forks were opened before Christmas.

Bernstrom says if Jan. 31 had been a weekday in which there was garbage or recycling collection, the city would have issued a correction or public statement. Feb. 1 appears on the calendar as a Monday so the rest of the year is correct.

Fine Print President Kevin Kuntz says January is the coldest month of the year and having one day less works for him.
