CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters in North Dakota have set up a new camp on private land recently purchased by the development company.

The opponents say the area rightfully belongs to Native Americans under an 1851 treaty, and they are vowing to stay put until the project is stopped.

Protests have been ongoing in the area for months, but the latest move marks the first time demonstrators have moved directly in the project’s path.

Morton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey says authorities “don’t have the manpower” currently to remove the more than 100 protesters.

Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier says authorities put out a call for help earlier this month and several states are sending officers, though he would not say if the goal was to remove the protesters.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Law enforcement officers from several states are heading to North Dakota to help authorities deal with the protest over the Dakota Access pipeline.

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said at a news conference Monday that authorities put out a call for extra officers earlier this month.

Kirchmeier says departments from Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, Indiana and Nebraska are sending officers.

The protesters, many of whom are Native Americans, have been demonstrating against the four-state pipeline for months. A group over the weekend set up tents and teepees on private property owned by the pipeline development. A sheriff’s office spokeswoman said earlier Monday that Morton County doesn’t currently have the manpower to remove them.

More than 260 people have been arrested since demonstrations began in August. Nearly half of those were arrested over the weekend during a large protest at a pipeline construction site.

 

MINNEAPOLIS (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.

 

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.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A 34-year-old Missoula man with a previous state conviction for promoting prostitution has denied federal charges that allege he forced two women into sex trafficking.

The Billings Gazette reports Terrance Tyrell Edwards pleaded not guilty Monday to two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; three counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in prostitution and one count of obstructing a sex trafficking investigation. He remains jailed without bond.

Edwards was arrested in Billings on Sept. 21 after a woman called police with the phone Edwards had apparently given her for customer calls.

Prosecutors allege Edwards had lured two women into sex trafficking and had just returned to Billings with three teenage girls from the Midwest when he was arrested.

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

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.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos must have enjoyed the company of Brock Osweiler (AHS’-wy-lur) while he was with the team last season, because they were in close contact with him throughout much of Monday’s 27-9 win over Houston.

Osweiler was constantly harassed while completing 22 of his 41 passes for just 131 yards and no touchdowns. It was his first meeting with the Broncos since leaving the team for a free-agent package from the Texans last offseason. He often made risky throws to DeAndre Hopkins in double coverage and fumbled in the fourth quarter to set up a game-clinching field goal.

C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker gave the Broncos a productive ground game, while Trevor Siemian threw for 157 yards and a TD. Anderson rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown, and Booker had 83 yards and a TD on 17 carries.

Denver is 5-2 and tied for first with Oakland in the AFC West after ending a two-game losing streak.

The Texans are 4-3 and one game ahead of Indianapolis and Tennessee in the AFC South.

WORLD SERIES-GAME 1…

 

CLEVELAND (AP) — The starting pitchers are set for Game 1 of the World Series.

Jon Lester will get the start for the Cubs against Cleveland Tuesday. The 32-year-old lefty is 2-0 in three starts during this postseason, with wins over the Giants and Dodgers in the NL playoffs. He was 19-5 during the regular season.

Lester is 3-0 with a sparkling 0.43 ERA in three career World Series starts. Cubs manager Joe Maddon says Lester is “really, really in the moment” right now compiling a 0.85 earned run average in the NL playoffs.

Cleveland is going with former Cy Young award winner Corey Kluber. The Indians’ ace is 2-1 with a 0.98 ERA and 20 strikeouts over 18 1/3 innings during his three postseason starts this month.

The Indians say Danny Salazar will be on the roster and could pitch against the Cubs. Salazar had been out since Sept. 9 because of tightness in his right forearm.

Cleveland may be without second baseman Jason Kipnis who’s still recovering from a sprained left ankle. He sustained the injury in the postgame celebrations after Cleveland finished off Toronto in the ALCS.

Sager won’t be able to work the game as he continues treatment for the disease.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll finds a shift in young white voters toward Hillary Clinton and away from Donald Trump. The new GenForward survey says that change is driving a broader influx of young voters to the Democratic presidential nominee. 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. Clinton has led among other young voters consistently.

DETROIT (AP) — Safety regulators say they’re concerned about a huge backlog of Honda and Acura owners who haven’t had their air bags fixed despite a June recall of the dangerous and potentially deadly devices. Authorities say owners of more than 300,000 vehicles have yet to bring them in for repair. Officials say used car owners can be hard to find and others just can’t be bothered no matter what.

TOKYO (AP) — The Fukushima nuclear plant destroyed by a tsunami is becoming an even bigger headache for Japan. A government study released today finds the cost of decommissioning the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant is ballooning far beyond the utility’s estimate of 2 trillion yen ($19 billion). It’s already cost 80 billion yen ($770 million) over the last three years.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says eight policemen are dead in a militant attack on a checkpoint in eastern Afghanistan. Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the Afghan interior minister, says the attack came near the border with Pakistan. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Taliban have recently stepped up their attacks against Afghan security forces.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Roman Catholic Church, which only began expressly allowing cremation in 1963, is out today with guidelines on what Catholics can and can’t do. The Vatican guidelines say cremated remains of Catholics cannot be scattered, divided up among family members or kept at home. They must be stored in a sacred, church-approved place. The guidelines say scattering gives the idea of “pantheism, naturalism or nihilism (NEE’-uh-lih-zihm).”
