MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of an airplane crash landing near the Moorhead airport.

The twin engine turboprop was approaching the airport Wednesday evening when it ended up in a farm field a short distance from the runway.

Clay County Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Empting says there were seven people aboard the plane, including the pilot. He says some of the passengers were treated at the scene for minor injuries. The pilot was taken to a Fargo, North Dakota, hospital with minor injuries.

Empting tells KFGO radio that it was foggy at the time but it’s too early to speculate on what happened.

 

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Jack Dalrymple has suspended McKenzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger after an investigation by the state attorney general’s office.

Schwartzenberger says t he was notified by a Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent on Wednesday night that his suspension was effective immediately.

The County Commission in October asked Dalrymple to remove the sheriff from office, citing an alleged workplace culture of bullying and retaliation. Schwartzenberger unsuccessfully asked a judge to stop the effort.

The sheriff will get a hearing before Dalrymple decides whether to oust him from office. Schwartzenberger says he looks forward to getting due process.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — About 300 opponents of the Dakota Access pipeline demonstrated on Thanksgiving Day in the North Dakota city of Mandan, about 50 miles north from where demonstrators have camped out for months to protest the construction of the four-state pipeline.

The Bismarck Tribune reports protesters blocked traffic at an intersection and nearby streets Thursday morning. Some shouted “Shame on you, North Dakota!” and others carried a banner that read “No pilgrims, no pipeline.”

About 50 officers stood across from the protesters, and the crowd eventually dispersed. At least one demonstrator was arrested.

When protesters blocked the intersection they set up several folding tables with pumpkins and a pig head. They also passed out food.

Protests against the pipeline have intensified in recent weeks, with total arrests since August rising to more than 520.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump holds stock in the company building the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline. And that’s raising concerns by pipeline opponents that Trump’s investments could affect any decision he makes on the $3.8 billion project as president.

Trump’s 2016 federal disclosure forms show he owned $15,000 to $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners. That’s down from between $500,000 and $1 million a year earlier.

The Obama administration says it wants more study and tribal input before deciding whether to allow the partially built pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota.

The delay raises the likelihood that a final decision will be made by Trump, a pipeline supporter who has vowed to “unleash” unfettered production of gas and oil. Trump takes office in January.

 

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Most of North Dakota’s winter wheat crop is in good shape as winter sets in.

The Agriculture Department in its latest weekly crop report says 78 percent of the state’s winter wheat is in good to excellent condition. Only 4 percent is rated poor or very poor.

The harvest of remaining late-season crops in North Dakota continues to draw to a close, with less than 10 percent of the corn and sunflowers remaining in the field.

Pasture and range conditions statewide are rated 48 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 74 percent adequate to surplus.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — No. 25 LSU didn’t need running back Leonard Fournette or leading tackler Kendell Beckwith on Thanksgiving.

Derrius Guice ran for a school-record 285 yards and scored four touchdowns as the Tigers outscored 22nd-ranked Texas A&M, 54-39. Guice gained one more yard than the previous team record set last month by Fournette, who sat out with an injury.

Danny Etling threw for 324 yards and two scores as LSU improved to 7-4 overall, 5-3 in the SEC.

It marked the first time the Tigers had a 300-yard passer and a 200-yard rusher in the same game.

Aggies quarterback Trevor Knight threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with what looked to be a knee injury.

DETROIT (AP) — Matt Prater kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired after Darius Slay returned an interception 13 yards with 30 seconds left, lifting the Detroit Lions to a 16-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings Thursday and into sole possession of first place in the NFC North. The Vikings have lost five of six, plummeting out of first place after surging to the top of the division by winning their first five games.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott accounted for two touchdowns, fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott ran for a pair of scores and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins 31-26 Thursday. The Minnesota Vikings will host the Cowboys on December 1st.

WENTZ…

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz has cooled off following a blazing start and already has lost more games in the past seven weeks than he did in four years at North Dakota State. The stats say the rookie quarterback has regressed since leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 3-0 start, but his coach, the coach he played against last week and the coach he faces this week see things differently.  Packers coach Mike McCarthy says, “I’ve been very impressed with his video.”

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as secretary of state apparently isn’t sitting well with some supporters. Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway has tweeted that she has been “receiving a deluge of social media & private concerns re: Romney Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as sec of state.” Romney vehemently opposed Trump’s nomination.

President-elect Donald Trump didn’t take off all of Thanksgiving Day while enjoying a long holiday weekend with his family at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Trump said he was trying to stop the makers of Carrier air conditioners from relocating its Indianapolis manufacturing operations to a company facility in Mexico.

Meanwhile, his transition team was stepping up its effort to raise money for inaugural festivities. And Trump offered a holiday prayer for a politically divided nation.

After Thanksgiving Day, Trump and his transition team are expected to turn their attention back to building his administration. Two possible appointments loom: retired neurosurgeon and former presidential candidate Ben Carson as secretary of housing and urban development and billionaire investor Wilbur Ross Jr. as commerce secretary.

The most recent Cabinet-level picks to be announced were South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and charter school advocate Betsy DeVos to lead the Education Department.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Shop ’till you drop time has arrived. Stores are open for Black Friday to launch the holiday season, but the competition to grab customers first is keen. Stores like Macy’s, Walmart, Target and more were open Thursday evening in what they hope will be a new holiday tradition. Today is expected to be one of the busiest days of the season. Retailers are expecting a better sales year than last.

PARIS (AP) — A Paris prosecutor says the recent arrest of five men foiled an imminent terror attack. Francois Molins says that the men arrested in two French cities were planning a terror attack in France as early as next week, and that they were receiving their orders from an Islamic State group member based in Iraq or Syria.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s state TV report at least 36 people killed when a moving passenger train hit a parked one at a station 150 miles east of Tehran. The TV says 95 people were injured in the crash that occurred in subzero temperatures. State TV reports the death toll could rise.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Just how much ruckus can football fans make? Geologists mean to find out tomorrow in the big game between No. 2-ranked Ohio State and third-ranked Michigan at Ohio Stadium. The researchers have placed seismic sensors around the stadium which seats nearly 105,000. In a game earlier this season, one Ohio State touchdown reached a FanQuake Magnitude of 5.2. They should beat that easily tomorrow.
