VELVA, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified a 19-year-old Minot man dead after a crash on a McHenry County road.

The Highway Patrol says Nashdan Podruchny was driving a Subaru car that slid into the wrong lane about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday and collided with an oncoming pickup truck driven by a 41-year-old Kief man.

Podruchny died at the scene, and 19-year-old passenger Kody Strole suffered undisclosed injuries. Brian Lakoduk was driving the pickup and was also hurt. Both were taken to a Minot hospital.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A standoff in Grand Forks in which a 43-year-old man fired several gunshots in a motel room has ended peacefully after several hours.

The  man is out of the room. Authorities believe the man was under the influence of alcohol.

Police responded to a call about a distressed individual at the motel about 8 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities say the man fired multiple shots in the room after officers arrived.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has suspended Ward County Sheriff Steve Kukowski while a criminal case proceeds against him.

Kukowski faces misdemeanor charges of refusing to perform a public duty and reckless endangerment in the October 2014 death of 25-year-old jail inmate Dustin Irwin. The Mandaree man died at a hospital after going into cardiac arrest.

Kukowski was charged in February. The next month he went on a 90-day medical leave to recover from knee surgery. He returned to work Wednesday, but Dalrymple on the advice of Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem suspended him for six months or until the criminal case is resolved.

Kukowski maintains his innocence. He’s scheduled for a three-day jury trial beginning Aug. 29.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The lawyer for a man facing obstruction of justice charges for a massive credit card scheme that was prosecuted five years ago says the case should be resolved soon.

Michael Adeymo, also known as Adekunle Adetiloye (aw-duh-KUHN-lee aw-duh-tuh-LOH’-ee), pleaded guilty in 2012 to mail fraud and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. He allegedly stole the identities of about 38,000 people.

Authorities say Adeyemo lied about his identity as well. He said during the original trial that he lived in Canada after fleeing from his native Nigeria in 2005. Prosecutors allege he lived in the U.S for a dozen years.

Lawyers in the case say they should reach a plea deal within three months.

The case was tried in North Dakota because one of the victimized banks is based there.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Hours after North Dakota Republicans put former Microsoft executive Doug Burgum on track to become governor, another grim report about oil production underscored the challenges awaiting the next leader of a once-thriving state now enduring an economic downturn. With his resounding primary victory, Burgum will be the heavy favorite to win again in November in a state that hasn’t had a Democratic governor for nearly a quarter-century.

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A former contestant in the Miss USA pageant from North Dakota has died in Minneapolis.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Many crops in northern North Dakota have benefited from recent rain, but a lack of moisture in the southern part of the state is stressing some crops.

The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that there also have been isolated reports of northern farmers reseeding crops that were drowned out or hit by hail.

The state’s staple spring wheat crop is still in good condition, however, with 85 percent of it rated good to excellent.

About 70 percent of North Dakota’s sugar beet crop and 79 percent of the state’s potato crop is rated in good to excellent condition.

Pasture and range conditions statewide are rated 70 percent good to excellent, and 89 percent of stock water supplies are adequate to surplus.

 

 

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A tracking system that helps first responders find people who are prone to wandering is coming to West Fargo.

People who sign up for the program get a personal transmitter so police and firefighters can find them if they’re missing.

Assistant Chief of Police Jerry Boyer says there are criteria that must be met to take part in the program, called Project Lifesaver.

The city got a grant to pay for equipment and training for the nationwide program. Training is underway now.

Other North Dakota agencies currently use the program.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A Fourth of July fireworks display in Minot may not happen in part because of declining tax dollars spurred by the downturn in oil activity.

Organizers are about $8,000 short for the display, which would cost about $10,000 to put on.

Mum Pyrotechnics has put on the fireworks display at Nodak Speedway since 2011. Derrick Miller of Mum Pyrotechnics says organizers are asking for donations so that the fireworks can proceed.

CLEVELAND (AP) – Golden State will be without center Andrew Bogut for the rest of the NBA Finals. He suffered a knee injury in Game 5 of the series and will need six to eight weeks to recover.

But Golden State will have Draymond Green back for tonight’s Game 6 in Cleveland after he served a one-game suspension in Game 5.

Golden State has a 3-2 lead in the series as it tries for a second straight NBA title.

Craig Sager is going to work his first NBA Finals game.

The longtime sideline reporter has been added to ESPN’s broadcast team for Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. Sager, who has worked for Turner Sports for 34 years, will share sideline reporting duties with Doris Burke on ABC’s broadcast.

Sager, who has long been one of the league’s most revered personalities, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. He says the invitation to join the broadcast “is a great honor.”

In a video released Wednesday by ESPN announcing the move, Burke told Sager: “Welcome to our team. It’s our honor.”

 

 

HOWE-FUNERAL…

DETROIT (AP) – Hundreds of people, including Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky and Gary Bettman, bid farewell to Gordie Howe at a packed, two-hour funeral service in Detroit, Michigan.

Gordie Howe’s son, Murray, began the service with a eulogy Wednesday that emphasized his father’s toughness and generosity. The service was held at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, about six miles from the home of Howe’s longtime team, the Detroit Red Wings.

Dozens of fans stood in line a couple hours before the funeral, which was streamed online by the Red Wings. The cathedral, which hosted Pope John Paul II in 1987, has a capacity of about 900.

Murray Howe has said his father’s remains will be cremated. The family requested donations be made to the Gordie Howe Traumatic Brain Injury Initiative, the Howe Foundation or the Gordie Howe Fund for Alzheimer’s Research.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama plans to meet privately today with some of the families of the victims of last weekend’s shooting massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Obama travels to the city to offer solace and healing to a distraught town that’s been mourning 49 victims and praying for the recovery of dozens of others who were wounded. The White House says Obama also plans to speak publicly, “to make clear that the country stands with the people of Orlando, stands with the LGBT community in Orlando, as they grieve for their loss.”

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) – The sheriff in Orange County, Florida, says it’s unlikely that charges will be brought against the parents of a 2-year-old boy who was dragged off by an alligator in a lagoon at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Sheriff Jerry Demings also says his department and the state wildlife agency will look into the issue of signs around Seven Seas Lagoon, where Disney had posted “no swimming” signs but no warnings about alligators.

NEW DELHI (AP) – Officials at a forest reserve in western India have sentenced three lions to life in captivity after they were found to have eaten humans. Seventeen lions in the Gir Forest reserve in Gujarat state were rounded up by forest authorities last month after three people living near the sanctuary were killed in attacks. Authorities say it was determined that a male lion had attacked and killed the humans, while two females had eaten the remains.

BAGHDAD (AP) – An aid organization says a two-year-old Iraqi boy was killed by Islamic State militants while trying to escape fighting in Fallujah. The Norwegian Refugee Council says Monday’s shooting of the boy, who was in his mother’s arms, highlights the dangers faced by civilians trying to flee to safety as the government tries to retake Fallujah from IS.

URAYASU, Japan (AP) – The Japanese town of Urayasu says it’s helping tackle the nation’s declining birth rate. The Tokyo suburb says it’ll help women cover the cost of freezing their eggs. Urayasu is allocating 90 million yen ($850,000) over three years to fund a research project conducted by a local university hospital. Officials hope that preserving the eggs will encourage women to give birth when they are ready instead of giving up having children.
