MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Local business owners in Minot have teamed up to strengthen the community by increasing independent businesses’ voice.

Business owners Val Stadick, Carisa Opperude and Pam Karpenko started Local 1st Minot to help boost the local economy.

The founders say that if area residents patronize Minot businesses, more money will remain in the community and bolster the resources available to the city.

Stadick says local businesses drive the national economy and account for the majority of the profits in a community. She says she’s optimistic that Minot can be the next city to benefit from forming an independent business alliance.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Protesters of the Dakota Access oil pipeline have erected a new encampment on private property recently acquired by the developer along the pipeline route in North Dakota.

The protesters said in a statement Sunday night that the land is theirs, according to an 1851 treaty. The camp of tents and teepees is in an area where the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says it has found several sites of “significant cultural and historic value” and where protesters and private security clashed in September. It’s near a larger camp that’s been in place for months.

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier says in a statement that the more than 100 protesters are trespassing. It’s unclear whether authorities will remove them. Kirchmeier’s office didn’t return calls seeking further comment.

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners bought the land last month for an undisclosed price.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Meetings are being held this week to give the public an opportunity to comment on flood risk management alternatives for the Souris River Basin in North Dakota.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Souris River Joint Water Resource Board scheduled meetings Monday in Mohall, Tuesday in Velva and Wednesday in Minot.

The corps says the study is a separate but parallel effort to a flood protection project. The corps earlier this year began what is expected to be a three-year study of permanent flood protection for the basin, an effort that could cost $1 billion.

A June 2011 flood caused by heavy spring snowmelt and rains damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and other structures in Minot and caused an estimated $1 million in damage in the region.

 

PRESTON, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut town has dedicated a memorial bench to two Navy Reserve pilots who died in a midair crash while practicing aerial combat over the community during World War II.

The granite bench unveiled outside the Preston Public Library on Sunday honors George Kraus and Merle Longnecker, who died Oct. 19, 1944.

John Waggoner, of the Norwich Area Veterans Council, tells The Day of New London that Kraus, of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and Longnecker, of New Rockford, North Dakota, were using only the radar in their Grumman F6F-5N Hellcats to chase each other around the pitch black night sky when they collided.

They were based in Rhode Island.

Some wreckage remains in a remote wooded area.

The council launched a fundraiser about a year go to raise $3,500 for the bench.

 

veebobbyMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pop singer Bobby Vee, whose early 1960s hits included the chart-topping “Take Good Care of My Baby,” has died. He was 73.

Vee’s son, Jeff Velline, says Vee, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011, died Monday.

Born Robert Velline in Fargo, North Dakota, Vee was just 15 when he took the stage in nearby Moorhead, Minnesota, to fill in after the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.

Within months, Vee and his band, The Shadows, had a regional hit with “Suzie Baby.” Vee went on to record 38 Top 100 hits.

Vee also gave a young Bob Dylan his start. Dylan played briefly with Vee’s band and suggested he change his last name to Vee.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota State football team will play a game on the Minnesota Twins’ home field in 2019.

The Twins and school officials announced Monday that the five-time defending Football Championship Subdivision winners will square off against Butler at Target Field.

The Bison-Butler game is scheduled for Aug. 31, 2019. It will be the first meeting between the schools.

Bison athletic director Matt Larsen says the game fits in perfectly with the 2019 season because FCS teams will be allowed to play 12 regular-season games. That means the Bison don’t have to give up one of their customary six homes games at the Fargodome.

Target Field holds nearly 39,000 fans. The downtown Minneapolis ballpark will host its first football game when St. Thomas plays St. John’s in September.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Young voters are shifting toward Hillary Clinton in the closing stretch of the presidential campaign. That’s according to a new GenForward poll of Americans age 18 to 30. Driving the shift are young white voters. They were divided between Clinton and Donald Trump just a month ago and were more likely to support Republican Mitt Romney than President Barack Obama in 2012. In the survey, Clinton leads among all young whites 35 percent to 22 percent, and by a 2-to-1 margin among those who are likely to vote.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — Florida is again the focus of Donald Trump’s campaign efforts Monday — as his team acknowledges that Pennsylvania may be slipping away. Trump is fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency appears to shrink. He denounced today what he called “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media, and said, “I believe we’re actually winning.”

SAN DIEGO (AP) — President Barack Obama is trying to counter the argument that Congress should be kept under Republican control as a check on Hillary Clinton if she’s elected president. Obama says America can do better than gridlock. He said giving Republicans the opportunity to block Clinton’s initiatives means the possibility of another government shutdown, the blocking of Supreme Court nominees and preventing progress on dealing with climate change. Obama was speaking to donors in San Diego during a three-day campaign and fundraising swing on the West Coast.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — California authorities have identified 11 of the 13 people killed when a bus crashed into the back of a truck on Interstate 10 near Palm Springs over the weekend. The office of the Riverside County sheriff-coroner named nine women between the ages of 52 and 72, a 62-year-old man, and a 59-year-old man who owned and drove the bus.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The first woman elected Pennsylvania’s top prosecutor has been sentenced to 10 to 23 months in jail for illegally disclosing details from a grand jury investigation to embarrass a rival and then lying about it under oath. Former Attorney General Kathleen Kane was also sentenced to eight years of probation. The judge told Kane her children were “collateral damages” of her own actions. The 50-year-old was convicted in August of two felony charges of perjury and seven misdemeanor charges. She resigned the next day.
