Fergus Falls, Minnesota, (OTPCO) Otter Tail Power Company reminds everybody that nice weather frequently brings outdoor construction, yard work, and planting projects. During National Electrical Safety Month, Otter Tail Power Company reminds customers and neighbors that, before digging, they need to notify utilities that have lines or cables buried in the area.
Every digging project—rural or urban, large or small—requires a call to the national 811 One Call center at least 48 hours before any excavation begins. That means calling no later than Wednesday for a weekend project. Dial 811 and you’ll be connected to your state’s One Call center, which will notify the appropriate utility companies.
Be prepared to give the location and start time of your project. The 811 call and the utility locates are free, and professional locators will mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags and/or paint. Damaging underground utility lines, though unintentional, can cause needless outages to the utilities whose service and convenience you enjoy. Unsafe digging also can compromise community safety and disconnect people from critical services. In addition to electricity, those services can include water and sewer, cable TV, telephone, and high-speed Internet.
Each state has its own rules and regulations, but all projects that involve digging more than a foot deep require a call to 811. “Utility line depths can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects, and uneven surfaces so, even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line exists,” says Otter Tail Power Company’s Safety Services Manager Greg Overland. “Always call before you plant trees or shrubs, establish a new garden, begin tiling a field, bury a water line, install that flag pole or mailbox, erect a fence, dig a trench, create a water pond, or dig footings for your new garage, deck, or patio. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s the law.”
Voters must approve that change in 2020.
The proposed ballot measure goes beyond that, restricting the Legislature from changing the state Constitution’s “powers granted to the people.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum’s office says nearly 70 people have applied to serve on a panel that’s seen as key to implementing a voter-approved constitutional amendment aimed at government ethics reform.
Those who submitted applications by Friday’s deadline include several former lawmakers, lobbyists, farmers, tribal members, a Boy Scout leader and a newspaper editor.
The Republican-led Legislature was successful in pushing its own bill aimed at ethics reform to meet the requirements of the constitutional amendment. But it wasn’t what Democrats and others who pushed for the ethics reform wanted.
The constitutional amendment still allows the new commission to write its own rules for ethics reform.
The governor, as well as Senate majority and minority leaders, must agree by consensus on who sits on the panel, which is expected to be chosen by July 1.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota lawmakers will study 46 topics that could inspire bills for the next legislative session.
The Legislative Management committee on Tuesday voted to conduct the studies on topics that include a review on the state’s prison system, education funding, ethics requirements and “potential uses” of earnings from the voter-approved oil tax savings account.
The 17-member Legislative Management committee oversees the Legislature’s business between sessions.
The powerful panel rejected 21 proposed studies from the legislative session that ended last month. Fifteen of the studies were mandatory from legislation.
Legislative Management will meet again in June 10 to pick the membership of the interim study committees.
Republican House Majority Leader Chet Pollert, the chairman of Legislative Management, says he will recommend that Democrats head some of the committees.
FARGO (AP) According to the weekly federal crop report, North Dakota farmers have completed planting 46 percent of soybeans as of Sunday. That’s well behind 66 percent last year and the five-year average of 65 percent. Only 4 percent of soybeans have emerged, compared with 17 percent last year and a 21 percent average.
Corn planting was 63 percent, compared with 83 percent last year and an 85 percent average. Eight percent of corn has emerged, well behind last year’s 30 percent and 43 percent average.
North Dakota’s spring wheat crop is 82 percent planted, compared with 89 percent last year and 87 percent average. Spring wheat was 45 percent emerged, behind 54 percent last year and 62 percent average.
MAPLETON, N.D. (AP) — A man fleeing from law enforcement officers in Cass County jumped into the Sheyenne River to elude authorities.
Deputies responded to a call for a domestic incident near Mapleton Monday afternoon. KFGO says the 35-year-old man fled before deputies arrived and was spotted on his motorcycle by West Fargo police.
The man crashed his motorcycle near the river and tried to swim away from officers, but was arrested.
In world and national news…
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Forecasters have confirmed two severe-strength tornadoes touched down in the Dayton, Ohio, area with more possible ones under investigation.
The National Weather Service says a tornado classified as an EF3 hit Trotwood just west of Dayton, with another touchdown just east of Dayton in Greene County. Forecaster Myron Padgett says it’s possible the same tornado went back up and touched down a second time. He says several other areas damaged by major storms are being surveyed.
An EF3 is considered a strong tornado that does severe damage, rated on a scale of EF0 through EF5.
One person was killed and at least 60 people were injured by storms that swept through western Ohio.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is upholding an Indiana law that requires abortion providers to dispose of aborted fetuses in the same way as human remains. But the justices are staying out of the debate over a broader provision that would prevent a woman in Indiana from having an abortion based on gender, race or disability.
The court is splitting 7-2 in allowing Indiana to enforce the fetal remains measure that had been blocked by a federal appeals court. The justices say in an unsigned opinion that the case does not involve limits on a woman’s right to an abortion.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Another conservative Republican has once again blocked efforts by House leaders to speed a $19 billion disaster aid bill to President Donald Trump’s desk.
Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie objected to a request by Georgia Democrat Sanford Bishop to pass the bill under special procedures requiring unanimous agreement among all lawmakers. Sanford’s district’s economy is largely based on agriculture and was slammed by Hurricane Michael last year.
Massie said that if Democratic leaders thought the measure was so urgent they should have kept the House in session last week so that members could go on record with a roll call tally.
The developments were expected but No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer warned that further delays would put keep millions of flood and hurricane victims at risk.
Last week, Texas freshman GOP Rep. Chip Roy blocked the bill.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The ACLU of Missouri is seeking a statewide vote on a new law that will ban most abortions starting at eight weeks of pregnancy.
The ACLU said Tuesday that it has submitted a referendum petition to the secretary of state’s office as a first step toward blocking and potentially repealing the law that Republican Gov. Mike Parson signed last week.
If the petition is approved for circulation, the ACLU would need to gather more than 100,000 signatures to block the law from taking effect on Aug. 28 and force a referendum in 2020.
A similar tactic was used in 2017, when opponents of a law limiting union powers submitted enough signatures to block it from taking effect. Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected that law in 2018.
Also Tuesday, Planned Parenthood announced a lawsuit against the state that seeks to keep open its abortion clinic in St. Louis. Planned Parenthood says the state may not renew the clinic’s license, which means it could be forced to stop performing abortions as of Saturday.
NEW YORK (AP) — The embattled attorney Michael Avenatti has pleaded not guilty to accusations that he defrauded his most famous client, porn star Stormy Daniels.
Avenatti appeared before a federal judge in New York on Tuesday on charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Bail was set at $300,000. Avenatti agreed to have no contact with Daniels.
Prosecutors say Avenatti pocketed money Daniels was supposed to get from a book deal.
Later Tuesday, Avenatti is scheduled to appear before two more judges, including one handling separate charges that Avenatti tried to extort money from Nike, the sportswear company.
Avenatti rose to fame representing Daniels in her battle to be released from a nondisclosure deal she’d signed regarding an alleged affair with President Donald Trump.
BRUSSELS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for a commission president with experience and credibility, saying the chief criteria as he and other European leaders negotiate over top jobs is that the person needs to have proven capable at a high level either in their home country or at the European Union.
That seems to virtually rule out German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s preferred candidate, Manfred Weber, setting up a possible clash between France and Germany.
Tuesday’s summit is an opportunity for European leaders to take stock of the Europe-wide election results that saw the erosion of the parliament’s traditional political center. Instead, on the rise are the far-right, a political grouping that includes Macron and the pro-environment Greens.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is returning to Washington, where less flattery and more work await.
Trump touches down Tuesday after four days in Japan. There, he was the subject of nonstop flattery. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh AH’-bay) hosted him for a state visit that included a sumo wrestling match, golf, a six-course banquet and a meetup with the new emperor.
Back home, Trump faces an array of political and policy challenges, from his spat with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to growing tensions with Iran. Looming over all of it is the question of any impeachment proceedings.
Trump won’t be home for long. Next week, he’s off to the United Kingdom, France and Ireland. Then it’s back to Japan in June for the Group of 20 summit.
NEW YORK (AP) — The number of new diabetes cases among U.S. adults keeps falling, even as obesity rates climb, and health officials aren’t sure why.
New federal data released Tuesday found the number of new diabetes diagnoses fell to about 1.3 million in 2017, down from 1.7 million in 2009.
Earlier research had spotted a decline, and the new report shows it’s been going on for close to a decade. Health officials say the numbers could be falling because of changes in testing and because people are improving their health before becoming diabetic.
Diabetes is a disease in which sugar builds up in the blood. The most common form is tied to obesity, and the number of diabetics ballooned as U.S obesity rates increased.
(AP) MacKenzie Bezos is pledging half her fortune to charity, following in the footsteps of billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
The ex-wife of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos finalized her divorce in April and reportedly got a stake in the online shopping giant worth over $35 billion.
The Giving Pledge was started in 2010 by 40 of the wealthiest people in the U.S. It involves billionaires pledging more than half of their wealth to charitable causes either while they are alive or in their wills.
“We each come by the gifts we have to offer by an infinite series of influences and lucky breaks we can never fully understand,” she wrote in a letter. “In addition to whatever assets life has nurtured in me, I have a disproportionate amount of money to share.”
