Bismarck ( NDDEQ) The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality is advising individuals with respiratory conditions or other health problems to limit outdoor activities.
Smoky conditions from wildfires in northern Canada, in addition to some local agricultural burning, are causing air quality problems.
The news release says, “Extremely small particles of ash and soot, or particulate matter, have been increasing over the last few hours (Wednesday afternoon) across eastern North Dakota. Particulate matter can irritate the respiratory system, especially for those who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or conditions such as asthma and allergies.”
The high particulate numbers, plus higher temperatures, could extend for the next few days.
“At this time, most of the smoke impact seems to be concentrated in the eastern part of the state.”
The group is similar to Baesler’s Student Cabinet, which she created in 2015 to discuss education and solicit opinions and advice from students in grades 4-12.
Baesler told her Family Engagement Cabinet that in her tenure as superintendent, she’s realized family input has been a “critical” piece she’s been missing.
“I didn’t feel that I was doing as well of a job in serving our students and their families as I could be if I didn’t take the time and opportunity to hear from those families,” she said.
Cabinet member Bree Anne Hinojos, a member of Spirit Lake Nation who works for Head Start at Cankdeska Cikana Community College, said she hopes to learn how to overcome barriers on the reservation to learn to better engage with families.
“We’re definitely dealing with high levels of unemployment, poverty (and) addiction; all of these affect the families. That’s why I need ideas, too. How do we increase that family engagement?” she said.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker is calling on fellow congressional Democrats “to begin impeachment proceedings immediately” in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s public statement on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the question of whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice.
The Democratic presidential candidate and New Jersey senator tweeted the statement Wednesday after Mueller spoke publicly for the first time since he was appointed two years ago.
Booker has previously declined to press for impeachment. But he said Mueller’s statement “makes it clear: Congress has a legal and moral obligation” to initiate the impeachment process.
Mueller referred to a Justice Department legal opinion that says “the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.”
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The uncle of a missing 5-year-old Utah girl has been charged with murder as a search for the child stretches into a fifth day.
Logan Police Chief Gary Jensen said Wednesday that even though the body of Elizabeth “Lizzy” Shelley has not been found, her blood was located on a watch and a sweat shirt of her uncle, 21-year-old Alex Whipple.
Prosecutors say they also have a broken kitchen knife with the girl’s blood on it and her skirt, which was “hastily buried” near the family home.
Whipple was charged with aggravated murder, child kidnapping and desecration of a human body.
Investigators have been searching for the girl since Saturday. They say Whipple has not cooperated.
His attorney Shannon Demler did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan knows he still has some convincing to do about the security threats the Pentagon cited when he deployed thousands of troops and military assets to the Middle East earlier this month.
He says he is spending a lot of time trying to balance how much information can be shared and how much to protect. He tells reporters traveling with him to Asia that, “In a perfect world, more is better. But I really need to protect the sources” of the intelligence.
Shanahan offered only a few new details, saying that the additional troops he ordered deployed to the region last week will go to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
He also says he believes that the military deployments “deterred attacks on our people in Iraq.” And he said the situation remains tense and he has seen no change in Iran’s behavior. He said there have been some changes in Tehran’s “posture” in the region, but he wouldn’t specify how.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Concerns are high that flooding in the central U.S. will get even worse because of the most recent torrential downpours.
Strong storms that spawned dangerous tornadoes in Kansas and northwestern Missouri also brought heavy rain. Flash floods were reported in several places, closing roads and forcing water rescues.
Mark Fuchs of the National Weather Service, says Holt County in northwestern Missouri received 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) of rain, and a widespread area along the Iowa-Missouri border received at least 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of rain.
Fuchs says most of the water will eventually drain into the already-flooded Missouri River, but it’s too early to know the exact impact. Some of the water also will end up in the Mississippi River, which is approaching record highs in several Missouri and Illinois communities.
More rain is forecast for Wednesday.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s raucous political world is on edge, counting down to a midnight deadline to see whether a new government will be formed or whether there will be an unpresented second election of the year.
Backchannel negotiations are continuing to try and find a compromise that will allow Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu faction to join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition.
Without him, Netanyahu has no parliamentary majority and won’t be able to form a government.
Netanyahu and Lieberman are engaged in a high-stakes showdown and neither side appears ready to blink.
The crisis ostensibly revolves around Lieberman’s demand that current legislation mandating young ultra-Orthodox men be drafted into the military, like most other Jewish males, run its course. Netanyahu, dependent on the resistant ultra-Orthodox parties, is refusing to press them.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Republican Roy Moore is insisting he can win a Senate rematch in 2020, and says he won’t be influenced by President Donald Trump’s tweets urging him not to try.
Trump backed Moore in 2017, but he tweeted Wednesday that Moore “cannot win” this time.
Moore responded in an Associated Press interview on Wednesday, saying “everybody knows” he can win. He’s blaming establishment Republicans in Washington for trying to keep him out of the Senate.
Moore says Trump’s tweets won’t influence his decision as his weighs whether to enter the 2020 race. He’s still planning to announce his decision in June.
The former Chief Justice on Alabama’s Supreme Court lost the 2017 race to Democrat Doug Jones amid accusations of sexual misconduct.
)AP) At the Strange Brew Festival in Reno, Nevada, this month, visitors could sample a peanut butter and pickle pilsner, a tamale lager and a smoked carrot stout. There was garlic bread beer and a macaroni and cheese pale ale.
Brewers have always experimented. But as craft breweries have boomed, competition for attention has intensified.
The Brewers Association says the U.S. had 7,346 craft brewers last year, up 93% from 2014.
That has a lot of brewers looking for ways to differentiate themselves and get noticed.
Denver-based Wynkoop Brewing Co. lures a lot of customers with its Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, which is made with grilled bull testicles.
Head brewer John Sims says it started as an April Fool’s joke, but now it’s very popular.
