This summer, children across North Dakota are being rewarded with a free DQ ice cream when spotted wearing a helmet while riding a bike, skateboard, scooter or wearing inline skates.
Law enforcement will “cite” the child by issuing them a mock “ticket,” that includes a coupon for a free small ice cream cone at participating DQ restaurants.
North Dakota Triple A spokesman, Gene LaDoucer says, “Head injuries are easily preventable through the proper use of a helmet. and now wearing one can lead to a trip to DQ and not the emergency room!”
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Dakotas-based Sanford Health is streamlining management in a plan estimated to save the growing system $10 million per year.
Sanford CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft says 38 administrators have accepted early retirement or a new position in the restructuring. Twelve more will be bought out.
Sanford also is planning to centralize management of system-wide functions such as laboratory services. That will mean a new office building next to the $500 million medical center being built in Fargo, North Dakota’s largest city.
Top corporate offices will remain in Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s largest city.
Sanford Health runs nearly three dozen hospitals and more than 140 clinics in eight states. It has about 26,000 employees. It’s adding 80 positions to handle a Medicare billing system that will be based in Fargo.

Anthrax bacteria spores that lie dormant in the ground become active under extreme weather conditions such as flooding or drought. North Dakota typically has a few cases each year. The case in an unvaccinated beef cow in Hettinger County is the first this year.
Keller says ranchers should consult with their veterinarians to make sure vaccinations are up to date for their animals.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police have arrested a 20-year-old Fargo man in connection with a cab robbery.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man has pleaded guilty to charges in a Fargo-Moorhead child pornography case that was sparked by a lost cellphone.
Thirty-two-year-old Dustin Muscha of Moorhead, Minnesota pleaded guilty in federal court in Fargo to two charges of sexual exploitation of minors and two charges of possessing materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors.
U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Muscha faces up to 80 years in prison at his sentencing on August 29th.
The case came to light when a lost cellphone registered to Muscha was turned in to a Sprint store in Fargo. The store manager browsed files on the phone to attempt to determine its owner, and stumbled across a child pornography video.
Authorities say they found additional child pornography at a storage unit used by Muscha.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A judge won’t allow results from polygraph tests in the trial of the owner, manager and eight employees of a Bismarck skate shop who are accused of selling illegal synthetic drugs.
Surrogate Judge Benny Graff last week denied a motion from the defense in case.
Defense attorneys wrote in court papers that the 10 defendants passed tests in which they said they did not know the substances sold at Discontent were illegal. They wanted the results to be admitted at trial, which has not been scheduled.
Assistant Attorney General Julie Lawyer argued the results should not be admitted.
In his ruling, Judge Graff says the scientific community remains split on the reliability of polygraph examinations.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has decided to base a new district court judgeship in Watford City.

Watford City, Williston and Stanley were considered for the second judgeship.
Court filings increased 37 percent in the district between 2010 and 2012. McKenzie County saw the largest percentage increase at 135 percent. The county seat is Watford City.
The Legislature also created a new judgeship in the East Central Judicial District. Gov. Jack Dalrymple has until July 31 to appoint the new judges.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s five community foundations are coming together to promote charitable donations and new tax credits for contributors.
The Legislature in this past session passed a law that allows for generous tax credits for individuals and businesses who give specific types of gifts to North Dakota charities.
The credit may be extended for three additional tax years if it cannot be used in one year.
The five groups are the North Dakota Community Foundation, Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation, Devils Lake Area Foundation, Minot Area Community Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, Minn.
A press conference billed as “promoting philanthropy” is scheduled Thursday at 11 a.m. at Ramkota Inn in Bismarck.
