BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Texas company developing the much-protested Dakota Access pipeline says it’s not aware of any plans for a new route in North Dakota.
Energy Transfer Partners also says it’s confident it will get the necessary permission to finish the pipeline where the company first intended.
The company issued a brief statement Wednesday after President Barack Obama said the Army Corps of Engineers is examining whether the pipeline can be rerouted due to concerns from American Indians. The pipeline would carry oil from western North Dakota some 1,200 miles through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters say the pipeline is a threat to drinking water and that construction could disturb sacred sites. The pipeline company has said the pipeline would have guards against leaks and would be safer than carrying oil by train and truck.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — President Barack Obama says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is examining whether the Dakota Access oil pipeline can be rerouted in southern North Dakota to alleviate the concerns of American Indians.
Obama tells the online news outlet NowThis that his administration is monitoring the situation closely but will “let it play out for several more weeks.”
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe worries that the $3.8 billion pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois will threaten its drinking water and destroy sacred sites. Protests that have included clashes with police have gone on for several months in North Dakota.
Obama calls it “a challenging situation.” He says there’s an obligation for protesters to be peaceful and for authorities to show restraint.
The 1,200-mile pipeline is largely complete outside of North Dakota.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The American bison has been designated the National Mammal of the U.S. during a ceremony at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota.
The Rapid City Journal reports Congress approved the designation last spring, and it became official Tuesday.
Kelly Aylward, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Washington, D.C., office, says it worked with Congress for about six years to make the designation happen.
Aylward says she hopes the designation will help bring more awareness and support to the cause of conserving and reviving bison herds across the country.
InterTribal Buffalo Council executive director Jim Stone says he hopes greater awareness will lead to education about the importance of the buffalo to Native Americans.
The ceremony was scheduled to coincide with Native American Month in November, and National Buffalo Day, which is the first Saturday in November.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Four men have pleaded guilty and been sentenced in a home invasion robbery in Williston last spring.
Prosecutors say 25-year-old Frederick McLin of Williston, 21-year-old Marquise Ellis of Minot and 26-year-old Darrion Jackson of Minot were masked and armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a knife when they forced their way into an apartment in April and made off with more than $3,000 in cash.
McLin was sentenced this week to serve three years in prison for conspiracy to commit burglary and felonious restraint.
Ellis was sentenced to serve two years for terrorizing and criminal trespass. Jackson was given three years of probation on conspiracy charges.
Twenty-six-year-old Florida resident Izic Cannon was sentenced last month to two years in prison for being the getaway driver.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials say a program to return land on American Indian reservations to tribal control likely will run out of money before millions of eligible acres are addressed.
The Obama administration is spending almost $1.6 billion on a tribal land buyback program initiated under a 2009 legal settlement.
Officials use the money to purchase parcels of land with multiple owners and transfer them to tribal governments.
A new Interior Department report says more than 4 million eligible acres will remain when the settlement money runs out in 2022.
The report is scheduled for public release Tuesday. It was obtained in advance by The Associated Press.
The buyback program resulted from a lawsuit that alleged U.S. officials for decades mismanaged trust money held on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Indians.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Winter wheat planting is wrapping up in North Dakota.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that the seeding of winter wheat is 95 percent complete, with 90 percent of the crop emerged.
The soybean, potato, dry bean and sugar beet harvests in the state also are coming to a close, at well over 90 percent done. The sunflower and corn harvests have reached the halfway point.
Pasture and range conditions in North Dakota are rated 52 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 77 percent adequate to surplus.
COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. (AP) — Pop singer Bobby Vee was given a musical farewell at his funeral with an instrumental version of his No. 1 hit “Take Good Care of My Baby.”
Vee was remembered as an “ambassador of joy” Wednesday as hundreds of mourners gathered at St. John’s Abbey Church in Collegeville. Vee was 73 when he died last week of advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
The St. Cloud Times reports that “Take Good Care of My Baby” filled the church as the Eucharist was prepared.
Born Robert Velline in Fargo, North Dakota, Vee was 15 when he filled in at a Moorhead concert after the 1959 plane crash that killed rock ‘n’ roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.
Vee retired from performing in 2011 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

WORLD SERIES….
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Chicago Cubs won their first World Series championship since 1908 when Ben Zobrist hit a go-ahead double in the 10th inning, beating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in a thrilling Game 7 delayed by rain early Thursday.
Lovable losers for generations, the Cubs nearly let this one get away, too. All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman blew a three-run lead with two outs in the eighth when Rajai Davis hit a tying homer.
But the Cubs, after tormenting their fans one more time, came right back after a 17-minute rain delay before the top of the 10th and scored twice. Davis hit an RBI single with two outs in the bottom half, but Mike Montgomery got the final out.
Manager Joe Maddon’s team halted the longest title drought in baseball, becoming the first club to overcome a 3-1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals.
Cleveland was trying to win its first crown since 1948, but lost the last two games at home.
World Series favorites since spring training, Chicago led the majors with 103 wins this season. The Cubs then ended more than a century of misery for their loyal fans.
The rally began following a brief rain delay between the ninth and 10th innings. Kyle Schwarber got things started with a leadoff single before pinch-runner Albert Almora Jr. took second on a fly ball. Anthony Rizzo was walked intentionally to set up a potential inning-ending double play, but Zobrist ripped a base hit down the left-field line. Miguel Montero followed with an RBI single two batters later, a hit that would become crucial.
Fittingly, the Cubs won it the hard way. Carl Edwards Jr. was one out from earning the save until Rajai (RAH’-zhay) Davis poked an RBI single following a walk by Brandon Guyer (GY’-ur). Davis also tied the game with a blast.
The Cubs also enjoyed leads of 5-1 and 6-3 before the Indians got to Aroldis (ah-ROHL’-dihs) Chapman in a three-run eighth. The game-tying rally began with an infield single by Jose Ramirez that skipped past shortstop Javier Baez with two out. Guyer followed with an RBI double and scored on the home run by Davis.
Chapman managed to get credit for the victory by working a scoreless ninth of the Cubs’ third consecutive win. Mike Montgomery got Michael Martinez to ground out to third to touch off celebrations throughout the Windy City.
Dexter Fowler, Javier Baez and David Ross supplied solo homers for Chicago, which trailed three games to one in the series. Fowler led off the game with a blast, Baez made it 4-1 in the fifth and Ross added an insurance blast the next inning after the Indians pulled within 5-3.
The Cubs broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run fourth that was aided by a pair of high throws. Addison Russell put Chicago ahead with a sacrifice fly and Wilsson Contreras followed with an RBI double to make it 3-1.
It was 5-1 for the Cubs in the fifth until Jon Lester uncorked a wild pitch that allowed two runs to score. Lester entered the game with two runners on base and worked three innings after Kyle Hendricks pitched the first 4 2/3s.
Indians starter Corey Kluber struggled over four-plus innings after getting the victory in the opener and Game 4. Kluber was charged with four runs on six hits without striking out a batter.
It’s the second time the Indians have lost Game 7 of a World Series in extra innings. They also did it in their last Fall Classic, losing to the Marlins in 1997. The latest setback continues a champion drought that began with their World Series win over the Boston Braves.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is recovering from surgery to repair a torn retina in one of his eyes.
Wearing sunglasses to limit the outside light at his news conference Wednesday next to the team’s practice fields, Zimmer said he’d had vision trouble for a couple of days before scratching his eye during the game Monday in Chicago. He was sent for further examination and a procedure done Tuesday by doctors who warned him he risked blindness if he didn’t address the problem.
Zimmer said he’s been watching film with his good eye, using reading glasses so he can write down notes.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal judge in Las Vegas wants today to hear from a Trump campaign official who heads Nevada poll-watcher training. Democrats are asking U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware to issue a restraining order telling Donald Trump supporters not to harass voters at polls in Nevada next Tuesday. The judge says before he makes a ruling, he wants to find out if poll watchers are fully aware of the state laws they have to follow.
LONDON (AP) — The British pound has surged after today’s ruling that the British government cannot start the process to leave the European Union without Parliament’s involvement. Minutes after the decision, the pound was up 1.1 percent as traders reacted to the news. The pound has taken a battering, losing about a fifth of its value against the dollar, since the June 23 vote to leave the EU. Many in the markets hope that the court ruling will at the least delay the process of Brexit.
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The U.N. says the world is nowhere near on track to achieve the ambitious temperature goals adopted in the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change. The U.N. Environment Program says in a report that the world needs to slash its annual greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 12 billion-14 billion metric tons by 2030 to have a chance of limiting global warming to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man is suing Popeyes, blaming the fast-food restaurant for his choking on a piece of chicken. Paul Newton Jr., who’s an attorney, says last November he was forced to eat the chicken with his hands because a plastic knife wasn’t included in his drive-thru order, only a spork. Newton says he tore the chicken off with his teeth, causing him to choke. He’s demanding knives for all drive-thru customers, financial compensation and punitive damages.
