TOWER CITY, N.D. (AP) — An official count shows that voters in the Maple Valley School District in southeastern North Dakota have once again rejected a bond measure to fund a reorganization plan.

The $14.3 million measure needed 60 percent approval to pass. An official count on Monday of the votes cast in the Sept. 20 election determined that only 59.76 percent of voters were in favor.

If the measure had passed, the school district would have closed schools in Buffalo and Oriska and brought all students into a renovated school in Tower City. Similar proposals were narrowly defeated by voters twice last year.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s chief archaeologist says in a memo leaked to a conservative blogger that an inspection found no American Indian artifacts or human remains at a Dakota Access pipeline construction site.

Paul Picha (PEEK’-ah) says in the memo published Monday by Say Anything blogger Rob Port that seven state archeologists inspected the 1.3-mile section along the route of the $3.8 billion pipeline in southern North Dakota. The memo says only some animal teeth and bone fragments were found.

Officials say the memo is only a draft and is part of an on-going investigation.

Standing Rock Sioux officials said crews earlier this month bulldozed the site, which they say has “significant cultural and historic value.” It led to a clash between protesters and security guards hired by pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners

Defense attorney Ryan Costello says Anderson had been living a destructive lifestyle but has been clean and sober for 10 months.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ordered Anderson to serve four years of supervised release.
