WALHALLA, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway State Patrol says the driver in a fatal pickup truck crash was intoxicated.
The crash late Friday night killed 33-year-old Matthew Webster, a passenger in the truck. Authorities say the 31-year-old driver missed a curve near Walhalla, hit a ditch and overturned. Webster was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver was taken to a Cavalier hospital. The crash remains under investigation
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger says he will plead guilty to drunken driving.
The 34-year-old Republican says he was arrested by the North Dakota Highway Patrol in Mandan on Sept. 30. A report provided by Rauschenber showed he had blood alcohol content of 0.206, which is more than twice the state’s 0.08 legal limit.
Rauschenberger called The Associated Press to report his arrest. Troopers say the case is still under investigation and it can’t provide details.
Rauschenberger says he showed poor judgment. He says he’s taking steps including treatment for alcoholism.
Rauschenberger publicly revealed his alcoholism soon after he was appointed in 2014 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple. He underwent treatment at a Minnesota facility that same year during a successful run to be elected to the post.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A proposal by the North Dakota Board of Higher Education that would cut down on the number of face-to-face meetings and take those gatherings off the campuses is being criticized by college professors and others.
The board next month will approve meeting plans for 2018.
Chairman Don Morton is proposing the board come together four times a year in Bismarck. Other regularly scheduled meetings would be held via video network.
Morton says he wants to make the best use of board members’ time.
Dickinson State University professor Debora Dragseth is president of the state Council of College Faculties. She says the change would be bad for transparency and collaboration.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian is adding some history from the recent protests in North Dakota against the Dakota Access pipeline.
The museum is adding a nearly 12-foot-tall mile-marker post created by activists to its exhibit on treaties called “Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations.”
Museum Director Kevin Gover says treaties were at the heart of the protest, which maintained the $3.8 million pipeline to move North Dakota oil to Illinois violated Native rights. He calls it “truly a historic event.”
The protest camp at times held thousands of people. Between August 2016 and February 2017 there were 761 arrests.
The mile-marker post was constructed by protesters to show how far they had traveled. It’ll remain on exhibit through 2021.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Steady growth in Mandan in recent years has brought an uptick in crime.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the city’s police experienced an 18 percent increase in calls between 2015 and 2016.
Mandan police officers also spent several months responding to protests over the Dakota Access oil pipeline, sometimes with as many as 10 to 15 officers at a time on emergency calls. Officers also were trained in administering drugs to stop opioid overdoses.
Drug offenses are up statewide, but in Mandan they increased 43 percent last year. Assaults in the city were up 33 percent. Domestic violence cases are separate from assaults, and the department added a domestic violence detective this year.
Lt. Pat Haug says the department has 37 sworn officers, with two openings.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Native American students in North Dakota are continuing to struggle in school, despite the state’s overall high school graduation rate remaining high.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction held a Dropout Prevention and Re-engagement Summit on Oct. 11. The summit was scheduled after teachers of Native American students across the state requested to know more information about dropout prevention strategies.
Sandy Addis is the keynote speaker and director of the Clemson University’s National Dropout Prevention Center. She says the state is “significantly ahead of the nation” in terms of its high school graduation rate.
Addis says while there has been some progress among Native American students, there’s much more room to improve. She notes that low-income student graduation rates continue to fall behind.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Protesters kneeled outside of U.S. Bank Stadium before the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the Baltimore Ravens. About 50 people took part in the demonstration Sunday while the national anthem played inside the Minneapolis stadium. The protesters say they want to raise awareness about shootings by police officers. Organizer Mel Reeves says the protest was not about the Vikings, the United States flag or the national anthem. He says it was about a “national problem.”
Drew Brees (breez) threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the 4-2 Saints rallied to beat the Packers 26-17. Mark Ingram rushed for 105 yards and a score, and Will Lutz kicked two second-half field goals, including a 44-yarder to put New Orleans up for good 19-17 with 10:26 left.

MLB-WORLD SERIES

Lefty Rich Hill will start Game 2 for L.A. after ace Clayton Kershaw pitches the opener against Astros ace Dallas Keuchel (KY’-kul). Yu Darvish has the starting assignment for the third game.
Justin Verlander will start Game 2 for Houston.
The World Series begins Tuesday in Los Angeles.
MLB-MANAGERS
UNDATED (AP) — Astros bench coach Alex Cora just helped the team knock out the Red Sox in the AL Division Series earlier this month. He’ll be changing sides after the World Series.
The Red Sox have announced that they have hired Cora to replace John Farrell as manager. He played four of his 14 major league seasons with Boston before retiring in 2011. The Puerto Rico native becomes the first Hispanic manager in Red Sox history.
Meanwhile, it appears the Mets have selected a manager as several media outlets are reporting that Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway has been offered the job. The New York Post was the first to report the Mets were in talks with Callaway, saying a deal is being finalized.
Terry Collins stepped down after seven seasons as manager and accepted a position as a special assistant to general manager Sandy Alderson.
The 42-year-old Callaway spent five years as pitching coach under Cleveland skipper Terry Francona. The Indians led the major leagues with a 3.30 ERA this season, one year after reaching the World Series.
Like Cora, Callaway has never managed at the big league level.
NBA-SUNS-COACH
PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Earl Watson just three games into the season.
Former Raptors head coach Jay Triano is replacing Watson on an interim basis after serving as his assistant.
Watson went 33-85 in parts of three seasons with the team, including a 24-58 mark last year. The Suns’ 0-3 start prompted point guard Eric Bledsoe to tweet Sunday: “I Don’t wanna be here.”
NASCAR-KANSAS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. completed an emotional victory for his Furniture Row Racing team at Kansas Speedway following the death of a crew member the previous night.
The season’s most dominant driver calmly overcame a restart violation and a loose tire early on to win for the seventh time this season. The race began hours after the team learned that crew member Jim Watson had died of a heart attack while in town for the playoff race.
Kurt Busch finished second before a wave of playoff contenders headed by Ryan Blaney, whose car failed post-qualifying inspection.
Chase Elliott was fourth and Denny Hamlin fifth to advance to the next playoff round. Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson also reached the Final 8. Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were eliminated.
FORMULA ONE-US GRAND PRIX
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lewis Hamilton has tightened his grip on the Formula One season championship by winning the U.S. Grand Prix ahead of title rival Sebastian Vettel.
The Mercedes driver continued his absolute dominance of the Circuit of the Americas, winning at the track for the fifth time since 2012 and fourth year in a row.
The victory extended Hamilton’s championship lead over Vettel to 66 points with three races left.
T25-COLLEGE FOOTBALL POLL

Alabama remains the unanimous No. 1 team, followed by Penn St., Georgia, TCU and Wisconsin. Ohio State checks in at No. 6, ahead of Clemson and Miami. Oklahoma is just behind Notre Dame at No. 10.
Michigan has fallen out of the rankings for the first time in two years.
GOLF-TOUR CHAMPIONS
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Bernhard Langer made a 15-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole to win the Dominion Energy Charity Classic by one stroke over Scott Verplank at Richmond, Va.
Langer followed his second-round 63 with an even-par 70 to finish at 16 under in the first event in the PGA Tour Champions’ Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs.
Verplank shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 to erase a five-shot deficit, but he missed short birdie putts on the 17th and 18th holes.
In world and national news….
BEIRUT (AP) — Pro-government media is reporting that Syrian troops have taken up a position allowing them to fire down on a supply route between an Islamic State-held town on the Iraqi border and a nearby desert outpost. Pro-government forces are closing in on the frontier town of Boukamal, the last major IS stronghold in the country after the militants were driven from their de facto capital in the northern city of Raqqa as well as the eastern town of Mayadeen.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — House Republicans leaders are hoping to pass a budget bill this week so they can turn their attention to tax reform. President Donald Trump personally urged House GOP members to move swiftly on passing the budget bill during a Sunday conference call. He said the effort would clear the way for what he described as historic tax cuts. Republicans are desperate to rack up a legislative win after a series of embarrassing failures.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will appear Monday before the judge deciding his punishment for endangering comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009. Bergdahl faces up to life in prison after pleading guilty last week to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He pleaded guilty without striking a deal with prosecutors to cap his punishment, so the judge has wide leeway to decide his sentence.
CLARK, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines defense secretary says the defeat of pro-Islamic State group militants in Marawi helps prevent the spread of extremism in Asia. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana declared the last militants who had laid siege to the southern city “finished” after the last group of gunmen were found dead. He spoke at a meeting of Southeast Asian defense ministers in Clark, Philippines, saying the achievement shows how regional cooperation can advance against the spread of terrorism.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. John McCain has taken what appears to be a veiled shot at President Donald Trump’s medical deferments that kept him from serving in the Vietnam War. In an interview with C-SPAN recorded Wednesday, McCain lamented that the military “rafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say they had a bone spur.” One of Trump’s five draft deferments came as a result of a physician’s letter stating he suffered from bone spurs in his feet.
