FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Democrats are asking the state’s attorney general to stop the release of contact information for college and university students.
Party chairman Bob Valeu (vah-LOU’) says Odney Advertising has made a request for the information to the North Dakota University System. Valeu says that data should be off limits.
Democrats want Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to issue a cease and desist order against the Bismarck-based ad agency.
The station reports the company handles much of the marketing and advertising for the Republican administration of Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man and woman who pleaded not guilty in state court to running a prostitution parlor in Minot now face federal charges for allegedly running a similar operation in at least one other city in North Dakota’s oil patch.
Federal court records say 32-year-old Loc Tran and 32-year-old Trina Nguyen (wihn) allegedly operated a sex business in Dickinson after posting bond on the state charges filed in 2013.
Tran and Nguyen face eight federal charges including racketeering and extortion stemming from allegations that they lured women from California to work as prostitutes in western North Dakota.
Telephone calls to their attorneys seeking comment were not immediately returned on Thursday.
U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon says state charges against the couple have been dismissed because federal prosecutors now have jurisdiction.
GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. (AP) – Forty-eight traffic control airmen at the Grand Forks Air Force Base have been reprimanded following an investigation into allegations of misconduct on proficiency testing.
Base officials say the airmen of the 319th Operations Support Squadron have been disciplined in different ways. Some have received “letters of counseling, letters of reprimand and non-judicial punishment, to include demotion actions.”
Officials say the investigation began after it was discovered that an individual had images of test materials and shared them with others.
Col. Paul Bauman is the commander of the 319th Air Base Wing. Bauman has also directed the 48 airmen to undergo re-evaluations and re-certifications before resuming their duties.
The Air Force sent a three-member team of air traffic control experts to Grand Forks to inspect the base’s evaluation and training programs.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A lack of workers in the western North Dakota oil patch city of Dickinson is forcing two longtime businesses to close.
Bonanza restaurant closed Sept. 14, and Kmart is shutting down in early December. Both businesses have operated in Dickinson for nearly four decades.
Cash Wise Foods plans to move into the Kmart building next spring.
City Attorney Matt Kolling says that the downside to the city’s healthy economy is that unemployment is at 1 percent or less. Bonanza owner Robert Wade said he got tired of trying to find workers.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Several North Dakota legislators say the rapidly growing communities in the state’s western oil patch need financial relief as soon as possible.
The legislators spoke on a panel Thursday at the annual meeting of the North Dakota Petroleum Council.
Infrastructure in North Dakota’s oil patch has been overwhelmed by development in recent years. Today the area is characterized by ubiquitous construction projects, dust, constant roadwork and heavy truck traffic.
North Dakota Republicans earlier this month unveiled a one-time $800 million “surge funding” plan to help out oil patch communities.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner says he hopes the measure will pass quickly so oil patch communities can plan spending and development.
Democratic state Sen. Connie Triplett of Grand Forks says more permanent funding solutions need to be established.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Officials in Williston have started construction on a $105 million expansion of the city’s wastewater treatment plant.
Ground was broken Wednesday for the project in the rapidly growing oil patch hub.
The plant currently can serve about 30,000 people. The project will double that capacity when it’s completed in three years.
Public Works Director Dave Tuan says more than 100 employees will be added to the Public Works Department over the next seven years – in part to help operate the expanded water treatment facilities.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Plots against the U.S. and Europe by the al-Qaida cell in Syria known as the Khorasan Group may still be in the works. FBI director James Comey told reporters Thursday he has no indication yet that a series of airstrikes against the militants this week disrupted its plans. U.S. intelligence officials say the group has been trying to perfect a non-metallic bomb that can get past airport security and be used to blow up an airplane in flight.
WASHINGTON (AP) – White House officials say President Barack Obama hasn’t yet made a final decision on a new attorney general. Obama will be announcing that Eric Holder, who has held the job since the start of Obama’s presidency, will be stepping down. Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, addressed questions of racial fairness during his tenure — working to improve police relations with minorities and enforce civil rights laws.
NEW YORK (AP) – Just a day after the stock market’s best day in a month, the market has given back those gains and then some. The Dow has been down by more than 200 points in Thursday afternoon trading. And tech stocks have been hit hard — with Apple falling more than 3 percent. The company pulled a software update for its iPhones after users complained they weren’t able to make calls.
NEW YORK (AP) – Three retired firefighters who worked at ground zero have died on the same day from cancer. And it’s an illness that many fear might be connected to toxic World Trade Center dust released during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Lt. Howard Bischoff and firefighters Robert Leaver and Daniel Heglund died Monday. Hundreds of first responders have gotten cancer in the 13 years since the attacks, but doctors and researchers are still uncertain whether there is any link between those illnesses and 9/11.
PLACERVILLE, Calif. (AP) – Wet weather is helping California firefighters gain control of a massive wildfire threatening thousands of homes in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Fire officials say the blaze east of Sacramento grew slightly overnight to nearly 150 square miles. But containment also increased, and now tops 40 percent. The blaze has destroyed 12 homes and threatens another 12,000 near Pollock Pines.
