NEW BUSINESS

Teresa Will  presented and distributed the City County Health’s views on ND Measure #4 (increase tax on tobacco products).

She introduced Heather Schwehr who explained, the measure if passed would help prevent youth from starting tobacco use, encourage adults to quit using, and to reduce health care costs.

She also outlined the breakdown in the tax distribution.

She added out that tobacco lobbies have purchased advertisement saying the tax is not specifically ear-marked.  She said the tax dollars received will be tracked.

She pointed out if passed City County Health would be expected to be $116,000 the first year, and then decrease.

 

City Commissioners then considered a Property Tax Exemption at 242 8th Ave NW. Assessor Sandy Hansen explained the work on the property that will be done.  The assessed value currently is $50,000 and will go to over $90,000 with the improvements.

Update….

 

DRAKE, N.D. (AP) — A two-vehicle crash in McHenry County killed a 73-year-old Drake woman.

The Highway Patrol says Jacqualine Richter was driving a sport utility vehicle that turned in front of a car at an intersection on U.S. Highway 52 at Drake. The two vehicles collided shortly before 5:30 p.m. Monday.

Richter was flown to a Minot hospital, where she later died.

The two people in the car were taken to a Harvey hospital with unspecified injuries.

Update….

NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified four people who died after the car they were in collided with a pickup truck on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

The Highway Patrol says all of the victims were from Mandaree. The agency identified them as 23-year-olds Jasmin White Owl and Matthew Yellow Wolf, 21-year-old Robert White Owl and 27-year-old Mario White Mountain.

They were in a car that authorities say failed to stop at the intersection of Highways 23 and 8 shortly after 9:30 p.m. Monday and collided with a Minot Air Force Base vehicle.

Jasmin White Owl was driving, and the other victims were passengers in the backseat. A front seat passenger in the car suffered serious injuries.

The two airmen in the pickup weren’t hurt. They’re assigned to the base’s 91st Missile Wing.

 

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association says two cows were shot in a pasture near Cannon Ball, in south-central North Dakota.

The group says a cattle rancher reported that one of his cows had been shot with a small-caliber firearm and the other was shot with “multiple arrows” on Monday. Chief brand inspector Stan Misek says the cows were treated by a veterinarian and may survive.

The cattle group and law enforcement are investigating the incident. The shootings come in the wake of earlier cases involving multiple dead and missing animals in the same vicinity, which is near the site where people have gathered to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

Misek says there is “absolutely no evidence” that the incidents involving livestock are related to the pipeline protests.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An attorney for North Dakota Farm Bureau says she doesn’t think the potential intervention by North Dakota Farmers Union in a lawsuit over the state’s anti-corporate farming law will have any effect on the outcome.

Claire Smith says “the issues and the law remain the same regardless of which parties are involved.”

Farmers Union last week asked a federal judge for permission to help defend the law that aims to protect the state’s family farming heritage but which Farm Bureau believes actually hurts farmers by limiting their business options.

If the judge agrees, it would enable Farmers Union to side with the state against Farm Bureau. The two organizations are the state’s largest general farm groups, together representing about 72,000 farm families.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say they won’t seek the death penalty against two people charged in what authorities say was a drug-related slaying in Grand Forks.

Krystal Feist and Modesto Torrez are charged with murder in the March death of Austin Forsman, of Grand Forks. Authorities allege Feist shot Forsman while he sat in a vehicle at a truck stop. Torrez is accused of ordering the hit.

Their cases were considered eligible for capital punishment because the killing allegedly involved a drug deal.

U.S. Attorney Christopher Myers declined to comment.

Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. is the only person in North Dakota sentenced to death under federal law. He was convicted of killing University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin (shuh-DEEN’) in 2003. Rodriguez is housed on death row at a federal prison.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican governor candidate Doug Burgum is releasing his second television advertisement of the general election campaign.

The statewide ad focuses on Burgum’s so-called Main Street Initiative aimed at rebuilding downtowns across North Dakota to keep and attract workers.

Burgum’s campaign declined to disclose the size and the cost of the buy. Burgum’s first ad focused on his pledge to work with lawmakers to balance the state budget without raising taxes.

The Fargo businessman faces Democrat Marvin Nelson in November. Nelson’s campaign hasn’t run any television advertisements.

Nelson says he hopes to film an ad soon to run ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

 

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A U.S. lawmaker says loopholes in federal laws have left authorities with little leverage in seeking the return of tribal religious items that are illegal to trade in the United States but sell for thousands of dollars in foreign markets.

The comments Tuesday by U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, a New Mexico Democrat, came during a field hearing in Albuquerque, where tribal leaders and representatives of several federal agencies — including the U.S. State, Interior and Justice departments — are delivering testimony.

Heinrich has sponsored legislation in the Senate seeking to broaden the scope of a federal law designed to crack down on looting, trafficking and exporting of federally protected Native American items.

The legislation would prohibit dealers from exporting protected Native Americans items of cultural or historical importance for tribes to international markets.

(CSi)   Valley City State freshman Jake Peterson has been named the NSAA Football Offensive Player of the Week after catching four touchdowns in Saturday’s 41-22 win at No. 19 Dakota State.

The eighth edition of the Dacotah Bank/North Star Athletic Association (NSAA) Football Players-of-the-Week was announced by the conference office Monday. Jake Peterson of Valley City State (N.D.) was selected as Offensive Player-of-the-Week.  Steven Koch of Dickinson State was chosen as Defensive Player-of-the-Week.  Dylan Paulson of Presentation (S.D.) was named as Special Teams Player-of-the-Week.

NSAA Football Offensive Player of the Week
Jake Peterson – Valley City State (N.D.) – 6’4″ – 195 lbs., Freshman – wide receiver – Larimore, N.D. – All four of Peterson’s catches went for touchdowns as Valley City State (N.D.) upset No. 19-ranked Dakota State (S.D.) 41-22. He had scores of 24 yards and 4 yards in the first-half, helping the Vikings to a 21-6 halftime advantage. Peterson added 61-yard and 43-yard touchdown receptions in the second-half.

Others receiving Player of the Week honors

NSAA Football Defensive Player of the Week
Steven Koch – Dickinson State (N.D.) – 6’3″ – 220 lbs., Junior – linebacker – Buffalo, S.D. – Koch had an interception that he took back 23 yards and a touchdown in No. 14-ranked Dickinson State’s (N.D.) 41-13 North Star conference victory over Jamestown (N.D.).  He also recorded three tackles (1 solo, 2 assists).  Koch registered 0.5 tackles-for-loss for 2.5 yards as the Blue Hawks extended their winning streak to six games.

NSAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week
Dylan Paulson – Presentation (S.D.) – 6’0″ – 170 lbs., Freshman – kicker – Aurora, Colo. – Paulson recorded four (4) punts for 159 yards while averaging 39.8 yards per punt in Presentation’s (S.D.) 74-0 rout over Finlandia (Mich.).  He made a field goal of 31 yards and converted 9-of-10 PAT extra-point kicks for the Saints.  Paulson also had 12 kick-offs for a total of 687 yards with two touchbacks.

 

VALLEY CITY (VCSU) ­– When the final horn sounded Saturday in Madison, S.D., it signaled not only a dominant win for the Valley City State football team but also a milestone win for head coach Dennis McCulloch.

VCSU’s 41-22 win over No. 19-ranked Dakota State University was the 117th win in McCulloch’s Viking career, making him the all-time winningest coach in program history. The victory moved him past legendary VCSU coach Jim Dew who compiled a 116-65-2 record from 1974 to 1993.

McCulloch says, “The end zone celebration was a little sweeter on Saturday for a lot of reasons.  Our guys went out and played their best game of the year against a very good Dakota State team and to be able to celebrate the record with a bunch of guys that mean a lot to me was very special. Reaching a milestone like this takes more than just one guy. I’ve been blessed with a lot of great coaches, players and alumni who have helped support this program. This gives me another chance to say ‘thank you’ to all the players, coaches & alumni that have been involved with our program and helped us through the years.”

In McCulloch’s 20th season VCSU is now 4-3 overall and 3-1 in the North Star Athletic Association – keeping the Vikings in the hunt for the program’s 30th conference championship, six of which have come during McCulloch’s tenure.

He also has six conference Coach of the Year awards and has guided the Vikings to four NAIA Playoffs appearances. In McCulloch’s tenure as head coach, 15 Vikings have earned NAIA All-American honors, several dozen have been named All-Conference and 50 have earned Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors. The Vikings have compiled a 117-83 record under McCulloch’s leadership.

While those numbers are impressive, perhaps what’s most impressive are the numbers 23 and 20 – 23 years on the VCSU coaching staff and 20 years as head coach. In today’s coaching world it’s a rarity to see a coach have consistent success but remain in one place – a small NAIA school – for more than two decades. He’s also had great coaching continuity with linebackers coach Dave Rausch in his 30th season and assistant head coach Gregg Horner in his 23rd season.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — University of North Dakota President Mark Kennedy says the school will continue to sponsor 20 sports.

The Grand Forks school in April announced it was cutting men’s golf and baseball from its athletic offerings due to state budget cuts.

UND in August reinstated men’s golf after the program secured the necessary $144,400 in funding for the fiscal years 2017 and 2018. But Kennedy that month asked a committee to examine the school’s overall athletics program, including number of sports and the cost of the programs.

Kennedy says the committee this week recommended retaining all 20 sports currently offered, and he’s going along with that.

The decision does not reinstate the baseball program. And Kennedy says the long-term fate of the golf program will depend on fundraising.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

TORONTO (AP) — The American League Championship Series continues after the Toronto Blue Jays avoided a four-game sweep in a 5-1 win against the Cleveland Indians. Aaron Sanchez held the Indians to a run and two hits over six innings while outpitching Corey Kluber, who was reached for two runs while pitching on short rest for the first time in his career. Josh Donaldson smacked a solo homer and Edwin Encarnacion (ehn-kahr-nah-see-OHN’) added a two-run single to highlight a nine-hit attack.

 

NATIONAL LEAGUE

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rich Hill worked six innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers homered twice in a 6-0 rout of the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the NL Championship Series. Hill gave up just two hits as the Dodgers took a two-games-to-one lead in the series. Yasmani Grandal (yahs-MAH’-nee grahn-DAHL’) and Justin Turner homered off Jake Arrieta (ar-ee-EH’-tuh), who surrendered four runs over five-plus innings.

 

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Erik Haula and Jason Pominville scored for Minnesota and assisted on the other’s first-period goal, fueling the Wild for a 6-3 victory over Los Angeles that triggered an early exit for Kings goalie Jeff Zatkoff on Tuesday night.

After Charlie Coyle, Mikko Koivu and Teemu Pulkkinen tacked on scores for the Wild, Kings coach Darryl Sutter pulled Zatkoff for Peter Budaj during the second intermission. Zatkoff stopped 11 shots, taking his third straight loss since replacing star Jonathan Quick just 20 minutes into the season opener last week.

Tanner Pearson had two goals, both assisted by Jeff Carter, and Anze Kopitar also scored in the third period for the Kings, but Jared Spurgeon’s end-to-end empty-net fling from the far corner put the bow on a banner night for the Wild.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have addressed a need at running back by getting Knile (nyl) Davis from Kansas City for a conditional draft pick. The Packers were in desperate need of a running back with James Starks undergoing knee surgery and Eddie Lacy nursing an ankle injury. Davis should be fresh after carrying just 29 times for 70 yards and a touchdown the past two seasons combined.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jets wide receiver Eric Decker has undergone hip surgery ahead of his pending shoulder operation. The team says hip surgery was recommended after Decker underwent an evaluation once he was placed on IR last week with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He could miss the start of next season given the recovery time for both procedures.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Faculty members at 14 Pennsylvania state universities are on strike.
