FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Sheriff’s officials say the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation will look into a sexual misconduct allegation in the Cass County Jail.

An inmate reported the alleged misconduct by a correctional officer to the sheriff’s department on Sept. 9. Sheriff’s officials then requested the assistance of BCI in the investigation.

Authorities say the inmate who reported the misconduct is no longer in the jail.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man convicted of killing his ex-wife by stabbing her 44 times in the neck, face and chest is appealing a judge’s order that forbids him from having contact with their two children while they’re still minors.

Richie Wilder Jr. was convicted last December of murder in the November 2015 death of 30-year-old Angila Wilder. He was sentenced in May to life in prison.

Judge Gary Lee originally ordered a lifetime ban on contact between Wilder and his daughter and son. He amended the order this month to allow the children to make up their own minds about contact with their father when they become adults.

Wilder is appealing to the North Dakota Supreme Court. He’s also appealing his conviction.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger says any attempt to do away with the state’s citizen-initiative process would be met with strong resistance from residents.

Jaeger told a panel studying the initiated measure process Tuesday that North Dakotans have been allowed to put proposed laws and constitutional amendments directly to a vote for more than a century. He says “it’s part of our fabric.”

North Dakota began studying the citizen-initiative process this year. It was spurred largely by voters’ surprise approval of medicinal marijuana that was funded mostly by out-of-state interests and another successful ballot measure funded solely by a California billionaire that amended the state constitution.

The 19-member panel made up of lawmakers and citizen representatives will make recommendations for the Legislature to consider when it reconvenes in 2019.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The leader of the Standing Rock Sioux and an attorney for private North Dakota landowners believe the builder of the Dakota Access pipeline got off too lightly when it settled allegations that it violated rules including those dealing with artifacts discoveries.

The agreement between North Dakota’s Public Service Commission and Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners doesn’t include a fine, and it doesn’t require the company to admit any liability. It came last week after weeks of private negotiations.

Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault (AHR’-sham-boh) says he finds it disturbing, and landowners’ attorney Derrick Braaten wonders what message it sends to other pipeline companies.

The commission has defended the agreement, saying it requires ETP to take steps such as planting trees. ETP says the agreement proves the company is a good corporate citizen.

 

FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) — A tribal court injunction will prevent members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe from voting on seven proposed constitutional amendments in an upcoming council election.The Bismarck Tribune reports that tribe members will go to the polls Wednesday to weigh in on tribal council positions. But a series of proposed revisions to the constitution won’t be included on a newly printed ballot.

Judge Michael Swallow found Friday that the tribal council failed to follow a preamble to the constitution, which says the council must “recognize the traditional laws and customs of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.” Swallow says the council didn’t follow the custom of using “eyapahas,” who would go through villages and spread important news.

Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II says the council won’t appeal the injunction.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota attorney general’s office says it won’t conduct a special investigation for the chancellor of the North Dakota University System.

Chancellor Mark Hagerott asked the state on Monday to investigate what he calls attempts by people to manipulate his office into influencing the 2016 primary election for governor.

Chief Deputy Attorney General Troy Seibel wrote to Hagerott late Monday to decline the request, saying it was outside the scope of the office’s role.

Hagerott told KFGO radio earlier this week that he received multiple phone calls to disavow or fire former Gov. Ed Schafer after Schafer endorsed Doug Burgum over state Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem. Schafer was interim president of the University of North Dakota.

Burgum easily won the primary and the general election.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Rainfall over the past week in North Dakota delayed harvest, with amounts ranging from about an inch in the west to more than 3 inches in the east.The weekly crop report from the federal Agriculture Department shows that the rain boosted soil moisture. However, after a summer of drought, more than a third of topsoil moisture supplies statewide and nearly half of subsoil moisture supplies are still rated short or very short.

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows 87 percent of North Dakota is still in some stage of drought.

In the ranching community, pasture and range conditions are rated 57 percent poor or very poor. Stock water supplies are 52 percent in those categories.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — This year’s Norsk Hostfest celebration is getting underway in Minot.

It’s the 40th year for the Hostfest, which is billed as the largest Scandinavian heritage festival in North America. Each year it draws about 60,000 people from around the world for food, music and other entertainment.

It starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday. Entertainment includes comedian Jeff Dunham, legendary bands The Doobie Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys, and Celtic Thunder.

NFL-TRUMP

 

UNDATED (AP) — President Trump hasn’t stopped criticizing the NFL, but the league has grown tired of responding.

Trump again brought up the subject in tweets on Tuesday, railing against players who decline to stand during the national anthem and pointing out the drop in NFL television ratings. One tweet said: “The NFL has all sorts of rules and regulations. The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can’t kneel during our National Anthem!” Another started: “Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!”

Wade cannot clear waivers until 5 p.m. Wednesday, the time when his buyout by the Chicago Bulls will be completed.

 

In world and national news…

HOMEWOOD, Ala. (AP) — Mitch McConnell is facing a rebuke from an Alabama Senate primary while Donald Trump at least is dealing with some embarrassment after picking the wrong candidate. The president and the Senate majority leader backed Sen. Luther Strange but Republican voters gave firebrand jurist Roy Moore the victory in a Republican primary runoff on Tuesday. Three tweets supporting Strange on Monday and Tuesday disappeared from Trump’s account. The White House didn’t immediately respond with an explanation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is at a crossroads after Republicans stumbled again in their drive to repeal “Obamacare.” Unless both parties can work together _ and bring along an often unpredictable President Donald Trump _ political conflict over health care may spread. Bipartisan talks on a bill to stabilize the health law’s shaky insurance markets are resuming. But time is short and there’s no guarantee. Meanwhile, Congress has yet to renew funds for popular programs such as children’s health insurance.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — British Prime Minister Theresa May says she welcomes Saudi Arabia’s decision to allow women to drive cars. May said in a statement Wednesday that it represents an “important step towards gender equality.” May says: “The empowerment of women around the world is not only an issue I care deeply about, it is also key to nations’ economic development.”

MONTEBELLO, Puerto Rico (AP) — The U.S. federal government has dispatched large numbers of personnel to Puerto Rico to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and local officials have praised the response. But many across the island say they have yet to even see anyone offering aid from the local or federal government. The scope of the disaster is so large that help has yet to reach many far-flung parts of Puerto Rico.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government says more than 12,000 people whose homes were destroyed or damaged by the magnitude 7.1 quake have spent at least one night in a shelter since the Sept. 19 quake. And for some of them, frustration is growing. Some quake victims are still camped out on mattresses, not having had a shower in several days. Ana Maria Castaneda, who is living at a shelter with five relatives says, “This is like a horror story.”
