FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says it is transitioning from white to black patrol vehicles.

Capt. Bryan Niewind  that trooper safety was a consideration. He says darker patrol cars are more visible during the snowy winter months.

The first black patrol vehicle is on the road around Jamestown. Niewind says replacing all the vehicles will be a four-year process.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s first family won’t be having Thanksgiving dinner at the new governor’s mansion.

Capitol Facilities Manager John Boyle says officials had hoped for Gov. Doug Burgum to move into a new home by next week. But he says construction of the new 13,600-square-foot home is running a few weeks behind schedule.

Boyle says the completion date is now set for next month.

The Legislature authorized $4 million from the state’s Capitol Building Fund and $1 million from private donations to construct the building.

Boyle says about $850,000 in private money has been raised so far.

Supporters say building a new official home for the governor was more cost-effective than renovating the current mansion, which will be torn down.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A trial date is set for the dispute over whether a pioneer village museum can be evicted from the North Dakota State Fairgrounds.

The Minot Daily News reports the civil trial will be held Jan. 30 in the fight between the State Fair Association and the Ward County Historical Society, which runs the Pioneer Village Museum.

The association wants to remove the museum from the fairgrounds to use the property for different purposes. The historical society defends the museum’s right to stay under a 1966 agreement.

Judge Rhonda Ehlis says she’ll decide which entity has rights to the State Fairgrounds property because of the case’s complexity and emotionally charged nature.

The historical society is also seeking money damages to be decided by a jury. Ehlis says those arguments would be considered at a later date.

 

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Federal officials say an Iowa company has recalled salads and sandwich wraps sent out to vending machines in three states because they were distributed without federal inspection.

Marengo-based Pride of Iowa Sandwiches is recalling products containing more than 230 pounds of chicken, pork and beef sent to vending machines in Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.

The recall was announced Monday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which considers the products a health hazard and advises consumers to avoid eating them.

They include packaged Deli Fresh branded Caesar salads and wraps containing chicken, roast beef and bacon.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness.

Details are available at the Food Safety and Inspection Service website at www.fsis.usda.gov .

The problem was discovered during a routine USDA inspection last week.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An appeals court ruled Tuesday that a federal judge in North Dakota was correct in not barring police from using harsh methods against Dakota Access pipeline protesters.

There have been no protests since February, but the decision will allow a lawsuit to proceed in which pipeline opponents allege they were subjected to police brutality and their civil rights were violated. They seek unspecified money damages.

Plaintiffs asked federal Judge Daniel Hovland in November 2016 to bar officers from using tactics such as chemical agents and water sprays. He refused and protesters appealed, putting their lawsuit on hold for nine months. It can now proceed.

Law enforcement earlier asked Hovland to dismiss the lawsuit. He hasn’t ruled, though he indicated earlier that protesters are unlikely to succeed.

 

 

HARWOOD, N.D. (AP) — A 57-year-old Harwood man is in custody after a standoff at his rural residence that involved gunshots.

Authorities allege the man made threatening remarks. Officers who responded to his home say they heard nearly 10 shots fired. Area residents were told to shelter in place, and a road to the area was blocked off.

The man was arrested about 4:45 a.m. without incident on charges of reckless endangerment and terrorizing. Formal charges were pending.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot woman accused of helping her husband plan and clean up after the stabbing death of his ex-wife wants to change her plea.

Cynthia Wilder has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and accomplice to escape. Authorities say she helped clean blood evidence from a car after Richie Wilder Jr. killed his ex-wife, Angila Wilder, in November 2015.

Richie Wilder was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Cynthia Wilder also is accused of trying to help Richie Wilder in his aborted escape from the Ward County Jail.

The Minot Daily News reports that a change of plea hearing for Cynthia Wilder is scheduled Thursday in Minot.

In world and national news…

RED BLUFF, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a series of shootings in rural Northern California left five people dead, including the shooter, and that two children were among the wounded.

Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston says one child was shot at a school Tuesday and another was shot while riding in a pickup truck with a woman who was also wounded.

Johnston says the shooter was “randomly picking targets.” He says there were seven shooting scenes and that there may be more victims.

Investigators have recovered a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns.

California Gov. Jerry Brown says he and his wife, Anne, are saddened by the shooting in a rural northern part of the state that “shockingly involved schoolchildren.”

Brown offered their condolences to the families who lost loved ones and said they are united with all Californians in grief.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is strongly defending himself against allegations that he had misled members of Congress about his knowledge of communications between Russians and associates of President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. Sessions appeared Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some private Twitter messages between Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks may increase pressure on the president’s oldest son to testify publicly before Congress. It’s a new wrinkle in the investigations into Russian interference in last year’s presidential election. Trump Jr. released the messages Monday, hours after The Atlantic first reported them. Some of the exchanges took place around the time the website was releasing stolen emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has spoken to both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence in recent days about the Alabama Senate race and the allegations against GOP candidate Roy Moore. That’s the word from two Washington Republicans who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the conversations. Senate Republicans, led by McConnell, have called on Moore to step aside, but he has dug in.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — There are fears that more dead could be found in rural villages of western Iran that were hard-hit by Sunday night’s powerful earthquake. The quake killed more than 530 people near the border of Iran and Iraq, with all of Iran’s fatalities taking place in a mostly Kurdish province. Rescuers have been using backhoes and heavy equipment to dig through the debris of buildings

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — For all the pageantry and promises on his lengthy Asia trip, President Donald Trump is returning to Washington with few concrete accomplishments in hand and leaving uncertain Asian capitals in his wake. Trump time and again portrayed himself as a sharp break from presidents past on his five-nation, 12-day trip. He urged the region to reshape its trade deals to America’s liking, declined to spotlight violent human rights abuses and cranked up pressure on North Korea.
