Spiritwood (Midwest AgEnergy) Midwest AgEnergy’s Dakota Spirit biorefinery recently hosted a delegation of Taiwanese feed manufacturers and merchandisers to learn more about the biorefinery process and how one of the bi-products becomes high-quality dry distillers’ grain (DDGS).
Taiwan is an important trade counterparty for US feed grains and DDGS.
During the tour, the delegation expressed their preference for high quality feed ingredients and especially noted their concern over mycotoxins such as aflatoxin and DON (vomitoxin) in feeds and raw materials. They were happy to note the low incidence of these toxins in ND corn and are very interested in the high-quality DDGS product that is produced at both Midwest AgEnergy biorefineries in Spiritwood and Underwood.
Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Midwest AgEnergy, Phil Coffin says, “Dakota Spirit was thrilled for the opportunity to host the delegation from Taiwan. International partnerships are so vital in creating and maintaining markets for DDGS, which in turn benefit the producers who supply North Dakota corn.”
The delegation were guests of the US Grains Council, the ND Corn Utilization Council and the ND Corn Growers Association. They were accompanied by Dr. Yao-Ching Hsieh, a Director of Taiwan’s Council of Agriculture, and Michael Lu, Director of US Grains Council’s Taiwan Office.
Thanks to ND Corn and the US Grains Council for showcasing Midwest AgEnergy as they continue to build relationships with our international friends.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Minnesota man has waived extradition in a North Dakota homicide case. Forty-four-year-old Miguel Cooley is charged with fatally shooting 20-year-old Gabriel Perez. He was fatally shot as he sat on a curb outside a McDonald’s restaurant near downtown Fargo Sept. 23. Cooley was arrested at a home west of Rochester, Minnesota several days after Perez was killed.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified the man who was shot by a police officer in Mandan.
Twenty-six-year-old Jared Galusha was shot and wounded Oct. 9 as police trying to arrest him on a number of warrants. The officer who shot him has invoked Marsy’s Law rights which protect crime victims and their families. The officer is on administrative leave while the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation reviews the shooting.
Investigators have not said what prompted the officer to shoot Galusha. The Bismarck Tribune says Galusha is expected to appear in Morton County court Tuesday on one of those warrants.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend last year has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports 28-year-old Bradley Morales was sentenced Friday.
A jury in May convicted Morales in the August 2017 death of 25-year-old Sharmaine Leake after an apparent domestic dispute. She died six days later when her family took her off life support.
Morales’s lawyer, Steven Mottinger, says the sentence will be appealed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The fourth of seven people charged with federal crimes stemming from protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota has been sentenced to a year and four months in prison.
Twenty-two-year-old Dion Ortiz, who is from the San Felipe Pueblo reservation in New Mexico, was indicted with several others in February 2017 for a fire set on a country road bridge in October 2016.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Ortiz reached a deal with prosecutors under which he pleaded guilty to civil disorder and the government dropped a more serious charge of using fire to commit a federal felony.
Ortiz was given credit for time served and could be released from prison in April.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck State College has started an energy training program for male high school graduates in Saudi Arabia.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that 67 students at the National Power Academy in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, have enrolled in a three-year program run by BSC, after months of negotiations.
Institutions from around the world submitted proposals to partner with the academy. Saudi Arabia chose BSC’s National Energy Center of Excellence, signing a five-year contract. It’s expected to generate millions of dollars in revenue for the school.
The program includes two years in the classroom and one year of on-the-job training in disciplines such as electrical, mechanical and renewable energy. BSC President Larry Skogen says the hope is to eventually enroll 200 students.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Lawyers representing a group of Native Americans told the U.S. Supreme Court Friday that keeping new voter ID requirements in place in North Dakota will lead to confusion during the upcoming election.
The emergency appeal comes just days after a federal appeals court stayed an injunction in the case. The injunction would have required the state to accept forms of identification and supporting documents that included a current mailing address, such as a post office box, instead of requiring a current street address.
Street addresses aren’t always assigned on Native American reservations, so members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa sued the state, alleging its ID requirements discriminated against Native Americans. A district court judge agreed in April.

Jamestown (Katie Ryan Anderson) The University of Jamestown is organizing a campus-wide Pink Out on Wednesday, Oct. 24 in celebration of the No Excuses program at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
The campus will wear pink all day AND the men’s and women’s basketball teams will wear pink at their games that night. T-shirt sale proceeds benefit No Excuses!
No Excuses is the event in which healthcare partners in the community remove all barriers to women’s health exams like cervical screenings and 3D mammograms. Barriers include: finances, fear, transportation, childcare, etc. The community created No Excuses because Stutsman County had one of the LOWEST rates of women receiving mammograms. Today, that is no longer the case.

NFL
— The Dallas Cowboys have acquired Oakland receiver Amari Cooper for a first-round draft pick. Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said Monday his team will get the pick in the 2019 draft.

— The San Francisco 49ers have placed free safety Adrian Colbert on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain. Colbert could return for San Francisco’s second-to-last game on Dec. 23, but he is likely out for the season. He was hurt in Sunday’s 39-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
— Adam Vinatieri’s quest to become the NFL’s career scoring leader could be put on hold because of a groin injury. He reinjured his kicking leg Sunday when he missed two extra points.

History making series for managers
UNDATED (AP) — This World Series is making history even before it starts.
Boston’s Alex Cora and Los Angeles’ Dave Roberts are the first minority managers to face each other in the Series. Cora, who is from Puerto Rico, is already the first minority manager in Red Sox history.

COLLEGE CORRUPTION
Jury deliberates fate of 3 men in college basketball scandal
A jury finished its first day of deliberations Monday without reaching a verdict in the trial of three men charged with conspiring to cheat major college basketball programs by paying young athletes to sign with schools sponsored by Adidas.
Attorneys for the defendants say their clients broke NCAA rules but no laws.
Deliberations began after U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan instructed the jury. After five hours, jurors went home without sending any notes. They resume work Tuesday.
The defendants are Adidas sports marketing manager James “Jim” Gatto, aspiring sports agent Christopher Dawkins and Merl Code, a former Adidas consultant.
Their attorneys say anything they did was intended to help the schools.
The scandal led to the firing of Coach Rick Pitino at Louisville. He was not charged.

In world and national news…
NKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s president has urged Saudi Arabia to reveal who ordered the “savage murder” of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, and said the 18 Saudis suspected of carrying it out should be tried in Turkish courts.
Addressing lawmakers of his ruling party in Parliament Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says all those responsible for the killing must be punished regardless of rank — from the person who ordered his death to those who carried out the killing.
He asked: “where is the body of Jamal Khashoggi?” For the first time, Erdogan also confirmed that a body double of Khashoggi was used as a decoy after he was killed.
Erdogan’s speech came as skepticism intensified about Saudi Arabia’s account that he died accidentally in its consulate in Istanbul.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A high-profile economic forum in Saudi Arabia has begun in Riyadh, the kingdom’s first major event on the world stage since the killing of writer Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul earlier this month.
The Future Investment Initiative forum, which began on Tuesday, is the brainchild of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It’s aimed at drawing more foreign investment into the kingdom and to help create desperately needed jobs for its youthful population.
Prince Mohammed was not immediately at the forum when it started.
The forum last year proved to be a glitzy affair that drew more international business attention to the kingdom. This year’s event meanwhile has seen many top business leaders and officials drop out over Khashoggi’s Oct. 2 slaying.
TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — The first waves of Central Americans in a huge migrant caravan have begun arriving in the southern Mexico town of Huixtla after an exhausting eight-hour walk.
The first to arrive are quickly staking out grassy spots in the town square where they will sleep Monday night.
Marlon Anibal Castellanos is a 27-year-old former bus driver from San Pedro Sula in Honduras. He roped a bit of plastic tarp to a tree to shelter his wife, 6-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter.
Castellanos says the family walked for six hours until they could go no farther and then paid a passing van 25 pesos ($12) to take them the rest of the way.
He says there are no ambulances if the kids should pass out in the heat and no medical care to speak of in the middle of the countryside.
In his words: “It’s hard to travel with children.”
