Safe Shelter is committed to empowering victims of physical, emotional, and sexual assault by offering information which will allow them to choose their own course of action and by supporting them as they act on those choices.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, SAFE  Shelter’s Domestic Violence Services Coordinator, Dana Mickelson said the shelter is further committed to educating the public on the issues surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault so that, together, we may challenge societal attitudes which condone the use of violence as a means of maintaining power and control over another person.

She said, SAFE Shelter community-wide offers a 24-hour crisis hotline, temporary emergency shelter, crisis intervention, follow-up services, information and referral services, peer support groups, therapeutic support groups, emergency financial assistance, an extensive court advocacy program, a children’s advocacy program, and prevention and education programs for high school and college students.  All of our services are provided free of charge.

Safe Shelter Volunteers are a necessary and invaluable key to their operations. They are primarily responsible for staffing the 24-hour crisis hotline during non-business hours. They go through approximately 30 hours of training in which they will receive valuable knowledge and information that will prepare them for volunteer advocacy.  Members of Safe Shelter staff will work with each trainee to make sure they feel comfortable, knowledgeable and ready to volunteer at the end of the training session.  We ask all volunteers to commit to one shift per month for at least one year.

Anyone interested in volunteering or would like more information please call 251-2300 and ask for Dana.

Volunteers can make a difference one life at a time.  Together hope is offered to people suffering with Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Sexual Violence.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A fired Fargo police officer is appealing his termination to the city commission.

Commissioners on Monday approved the notice of appeal filed by Dave Boelke’s attorney.

Chief Dave Todd fired the 15-year veteran in August, saying he made “intentional and willful decisions” not to respond to calls, not to collect evidence and showed disrespect and discourteous behavior toward other officers and lacked patience with the public.

Boelke has denied the allegations.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An expanded list of rights for crime victims in North Dakota doesn’t appear to be having much negative impact on law enforcement and prosecutors so far.

North Dakota voters approved measure known as Marsy’s Law as a constitutional amendment in November.

The law expands privacy rights for victims, among other provisions.

Ward County prosecutor Rozanna Larson told the Legislature’s interim Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that many of the provisions already were in place before the law was enacted. She says the law has created some additional work, such as having to redact more information from documents.

Bismarck Deputy Chief Randy Ziegler says officers give victims of crimes a card summarizing their rights. He says only 11 victims of crimes so far have evoked their rights under the new law.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The founder of a former horse racing betting company in North Dakota whose conviction for illegal gambling was overturned is asking a judge to clear her name.

Susan Bala, of Fargo, spent 17 months in prison before an appeals court overturned a 2005 conviction against her and her company. Later a federal judge declined to grant Bala a certificate of innocence she sought to help her recover damages.

Bala’s attorney, Bob Hoy, says in court documents that Bala might have been premature in applying for the certificate in 2008. But Hoy says details from an ongoing bankruptcy court battle and other legal rulings support her new application.

North Dakota lawmakers in April approved paying back Bala $15.8 million in taxes.

Federal prosecutors did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

 

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Trump administration says a federal court has no authority to second-guess a presidential permit for the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.

Justice Department attorneys are due in U.S. District Court in Montana on Wednesday to argue for the dismissal of two lawsuits that challenged the March permit for the 1,179-mile pipeline.

Conservation groups and Native American organizations contend an environmental review of the project completed three years ago was inadequate. They’ve asked U.S. District Judge Brian Morris to revoke its permit.

But government attorneys say that the courts can’t interfere because Trump has Constitutional authority over matters of foreign affairs and national security.

The line proposed by TransCanada would transport Canadian crude through Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska. The Obama administration rejected it, but it was revived under Trump.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An environmental activist from Seattle convicted of targeting an oil pipeline in North Dakota hasn’t decided whether to appeal to the state Supreme Court.

But Michael Foster’s attorney says he wouldn’t challenge the judge’s refusal to allow Foster to justify his crime with a global warming defense.

Foster was among 11 activists arrested when they targeted pipelines in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Washington state last October. He was convicted Friday of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and conspiracy.

Foster says that even though he succeeded in getting his message of climate change awareness noticed, he wonders how much difference it ultimately will make because pollution continues to worsen.

He’ll decide on an appeal once he learns his sentence in January. He faces up to 21 years in prison.

 

In World and National News…

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) — A county in California wine country says about 200 missing-person reports have been lodged as family members and friends scramble to locate loved ones while wildfires ravage the region. Sonoma County spokeswoman Maggie Fleming said Tuesday the reports have come via calls to a hotline. She says it’s possible that most of those reported missing are safe but can’t be reached because of the widespread loss of cellphone service and other communications.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is escalating his clash with Sen. Bob Corker, saying the Tennessee Republican was “made to sound a fool” in a recent interview. Trump says on Twitter Tuesday that “the Failing @nytimes” set Corker up by recording his conversation. In that interview with The New York Times, Corker said Trump could set the nation “on the path to World War III.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he never undercut his secretary of state, Rex Tillerson. Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with Henry Kissinger on Tuesday that he “didn’t undercut anybody.” Trump also says that he still has confidence in Tillerson. Earlier this month, Trump tweeted that Tillerson was “wasting his time” trying to negotiate with North Korea. In an interview with Forbes Magazine published Tuesday, Trump challenged Tillerson to an IQ test.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A poll finds that a couple of President Donald Trump’s immigration priorities lack broad public support. Just 1 in 5 Americans polled say they want to deport young immigrants who were brought to the country as children and who are now here illegally. And less than a third support Trump’s plan to build a wall along the Mexican border. The poll was conducted by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

NEW YORK (AP) — An avalanche of allegations poured out Tuesday against Harvey Weinstein in on-the-record reports that detailed claims of sexual abuse and testimonies from Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, further intensifying the already explosive collapse of the disgraced movie mogul. Three women accused Weinstein of raping them in a story published by The New Yorker. In a follow-up to its earlier expose, The New York Times also reported that many other actresses have in recent days have come forward.
