WILLOW CITY, N.D. (AP) — The remains of a North Dakota sailor who was killed at Pearl Harbor have been laid to rest in his home state.

Navy Fireman 1st Class Lawrence Fecho was buried with full military honors during a service in Willow City on Sunday.

Family members including Fecho’s sister were on hand. Betty Anderson said “nobody will ever forget it.”

Fecho was on the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor when the ship was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. It was hit by multiple torpedoes and capsized.

More than 400 sailors died, including Fecho. Many of the deceased weren’t immediately identified. Fecho’s remains were recently identified through DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The federal government has halted the drilling of oil wells near a North Dakota resort boat ramp at the request of the Three Affiliated Tribes.

The well site is separated from the Van Hook Resort boat ramp by a barrier wall. The site is located about 800 feet (243.84 meters) from Lake Sakakawea.

Tribal Chairman Mark Fox says the tribe appealed the federal permit of the drilling site because it violates tribal setback requirements from the lake. The drilling site falls within the boundaries of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

The Interior Board of Land Appeals is an appellate review body of the U.S. Department of the Interior. It has delayed the project in response to the tribe’s appeal last week.

 

 

STURGIS, S.D. (AP) — Western South Dakota’s famed motorcycle rally in Sturgis saw a small uptick in attendance this year.

This year’s 10-day motorcycle rally wrapped up Sunday. The rally has been held annually for the past 77 years.

The state Department of Transportation data show that an estimated 376,000 vehicles entered Sturgis during the event, compared to less than 360,000 in 2016.

Officials say attendance may have been higher this year because of pleasant weather.

The number of wrecks involving injuries also increased from last year. The South Dakota Highway Patrol reported eight fatal accidents during the rally’s official time frame, compared with three last year.

The patrol’s Capt. Jason Ketterling says that despite the accidents, this year’s rally ran smoothly for the Highway Patrol.

 

 

In sports..

(CSi)  The North Dakota Community Action Sportsmen Against Hunger program is again accepting donations of goose meat taken during the early Canada goose season.

In addition, the program will accept Canada and light (snow, blue and Ross’s) goose donations during the regular waterfowl season.

Similar to last year, hunters can bring in their goose meat to participating processors after removing the breast meat from the birds at home. Or, hunters may also deliver geese directly from the field to a processor, but identification such as the wing or head must remain attached to the bird until in possession of the processor.

For a list of participating processors in North Dakota, visit the North Dakota Community Action website.

Breast meat brought from home without a wing or head attached to the meat must be accompanied by written information that includes the hunter’s name, address, signature, hunting license number, date taken and species and number taken. Information forms  are also available at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website.

Hunters will also fill out a brief form so that processors can keep a record on donated goose meat, the same as is required for processing any other type of wild game meat.

Since no goose carcasses or feathers are allowed inside processing facilities, hunters must be able to ensure proper disposal and clean-up of carcasses.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is saying that “racism is evil” as he condemns the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists as “criminals and thugs.” He is speaking at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI director Christopher Wray about the race-fueled violence Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia. Trump has come under fire for his comments Saturday that “many sides” are to blame for the violence and did not single out white supremacist groups.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A former classmate of the man accused of plowing his car into counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally says the suspect once said he went on a school trip to Germany so he could “get to the Fatherland.” Keegan McGrath told The Associated Press on Monday that he was a roommate with James Alex Fields Jr. on that trip in 2015. McGrath says he challenged Fields on his beliefs and ended up going home early because he couldn’t handle being in the same room with Fields.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump lashes out on Twitter at the CEO of the nation’s third-largest pharmaceutical company after he resigned from a federal advisory council. Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, one of the few African Americans heading a Fortune 500 company, cited Trump’s failure to explicitly rebuke the white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia.

NEW YORK (AP) — A top Federal Reserve official is suggesting that the Fed will likely announce next month that it will begin paring its bond portfolio _ a step that could lead to slightly higher rates on mortgages and other long-term loans.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The top U.S. military officer appears to be trying to ease tensions with North Korea while at the same time giving support to President Donald Trump’s warnings of a tough response to continued North Korean threats. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford met in Seoul with senior South Korean officials, and said the U.S. wants to peacefully end the standoff. But he also said the U.S. is ready to use the “full range” of its military capabilities. South Korea’s president is calling for a peaceful solution.
