Bismarck (CSi) – Visiting Louis L’Amour Elementary School in Jamestown Monday, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler announced that Jamestown teacher Heather Tomlin-Rohr had been chosen as a finalist for the 2018 North Dakota Teacher of the Year Award.
Tomlin-Rohr teaches kindergarten at Louis L’Amour. A native of Jamestown and alumna of the University of Jamestown, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education in the spring of 2002, she began teaching kindergarten at Louis L’Amour in the fall of 2002.
Baesler informed Tomlin-Rohr that she had been selected as one of five finalists for the 2018 award. The superintendent is visiting each finalist in his or her classroom to call attention to their achievement and to celebrate teaching excellence in North Dakota’s public schools. Baesler and Governor, Doug Burgum will honor the person chosen as Teacher of the Year on September 28, 2017.
Tomlin-Rohr said that as a child and young adult, her grandmother, who was herself a teacher, had influenced her to consider going into the profession. Her grandmother’s stories of her days in the classroom saying, “ (It) was very much like listening to someone read an episode of Little House on the Prairie.”
She called public education “one of the most noble institutions in America” and said her philosophy of education was to focus on each student and help each one to realize his or her potential.
“Nearly every day I spend in the classroom, I find myself reaffirming the fact that every student I serve deserves the very best that I can offer,” she said.
Tomlin-Rohr was also a Teacher of the Year finalist in 2016, when the honor was won by Amy Neal, a kindergarten teacher at Lewis & Clark Elementary School in Minot. Last year’s winner was Nancy Dauwen, a mathematics teacher at Sheyenne High School in West Fargo.
Jamestown Public School Superintendent Rob Lech adds, Tomlin-Rohr is “respected across the district for her commitment to the profession. Due to her commitment, each child in her classroom is loved and provided every opportunity to achieve at his or her maximum capacity.”

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The boyfriend of slain Fargo woman Savanna Greywind says DNA tests have confirmed that he and Greywind are the parents of a newborn girl found in the apartment of two people charged in the case.
Ashton Matheny tells The Forum newspaper that legal custody of the baby hasn’t been awarded, but he believes it will happen soon. He said the baby has been in his care for nearly a week.
Neither Matheny nor a family spokesman responded to messages from The Associated Press. Deputy Police Chief Joseph Anderson says police aren’t releasing further information about the case.
Brooke Crews and her boyfriend William Hoehn (HAYN) are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping in Greywind’s death. Their lawyers have declined comment. Greywind’s body was found in the Red River.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Nearly 2,000 people have signed an online petition to tear down the apartment building that was home to a pregnant woman kidnapped and later found slain.
But those who live in the building say tearing it down won’t erase the crime. Christopher Miranda says the effort would be better focused on putting up a memorial for Savanna Greywind. Balloons, flowers and other items have been placed near the steps of the building in memory of Greywind.
Two people who lived in the building are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping. Greywind’s body was found in the Red River.
Police believe Greywind was killed for her unborn child, who survived. Greywind’s boyfriend, Ashton Matheny, says he is the baby’s father and has been caring for her.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The new Miss America has taken the traditional morning-after dip in the ocean a day after winning the title.
Cara (KAHR’-uh) Mund of North Dakota posed for photographers along the surf on the Atlantic City beach Monday.
The 23-year-old won the crown Sunday night after saying in an onstage interview that President Donald Trump was wrong to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord. Mund said the Republican president should not have withdrawn the U.S. from the climate accord aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
The Brown University graduate is headed to law school. Mund went to high school with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
She is the first contestant from North Dakota to win the Miss America crown.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Department of Commerce says Enbridge Energy has failed to establish the need for its proposal to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.
Instead, the department says it might be better to just shut down the existing line.
In filings with the Public Utilities Commission Monday, the agency says refineries in the region already have sufficient supplies and little capacity for processing more crude. And it says Minnesota’s demand for gasoline appears unlikely to increase over the long term.
The decision on granting a certificate of need for the project is up to the PUC, which is independent of Gov. Mark Dayton’s administration.
Dayton praised the work of Commerce Department staffers, but says he’ll await more information before expressing personal views on the project.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Pheasant numbers in the Dakotas are down to some of the lowest levels on record. And biologists say the drop is blamed largely on the worst drought to hit the states in decades.
North Dakota’s roadside pheasant survey conducted in late July and August shows the number of birds is down 61 percent from last year. A similar survey in South Dakota shows a 45 percent drop.
Biologists say drought reduces the amount of insects available for pheasant chicks to eat and also decreases habitat, leaving young birds more susceptible to predators.
North Dakota upland game biologist R.J. Gross says hunters typically kill 500,000 pheasants or more in the state in a good year. Gross says he expects fewer than 300,000 birds to be harvested in North Dakota this year.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sam Bradford started his second season with Minnesota in style, completing 27 of 32 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns for the Vikings in a 29-19 victory over New Orleans. That spoiled Adrian Peterson’s first game with the Saints. Stefon Diggs had seven receptions for 93 yards, two for scores. Adam Thielen racked up 157 yards on nine catches as Bradford carved up a Saints defense that looked again like one of the worst in the league despite a major renovation.
Trevor Semien threw for a pair of TDs and Shelby Harris blocked a potential game-tying field goal in the final second of the Broncos’ 24-21 victory against the San Diego Chargers.
Football, Irma…
Florida International has called off its football game at Indiana on Saturday because of ongoing effects of Hurricane Irma.
FIU has canceled all of the school’s planned games through Sunday, including men’s and women’s soccer, golf and volleyball.
It’s still unknown when FIU will be able to leave Birmingham, Alabama, where its teams have been for nearly a week to get away from Irma. And Irma actually found the Panthers there; tropical storm conditions from the remnants of Irma were hammering Birmingham on Monday night.
FIU and Indiana will try to defer the game to a different season.
Indiana says it will try to find a new opponent to play at home on its Oct. 7 bye date.
