VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – A Kathryn couple is facing animal neglect charges after authorities seized 64 dogs from their property.
Prairie Paws Rescue says the dogs were rescued from filthy conditions last week. The Jamestown-based nonprofit is caring for the dogs in Valley City. Co-founder Kaye John says the shelter needs volunteers and money donations.
Anyone wishing to help may contact Prairie Paw Rescue at (701) 320-4553 or email at prairiepawsrescue@hotmail.com.
Court documents show that Karl and Ginger Helland both face a misdemeanor animal neglect charge that carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail. Ginger Helland was found not guilty of a similar charge in 2014, in a case involving the deaths of eight horses.
Court documents do not list an attorney for the couple, and a home telephone listing is not in service. They’re scheduled to make initial court appearances on June 28.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – A McKenzie County Sheriff’s Office corporal accused of using his vehicle to crash into a fleeing motorcycle has been acquitted on a felony reckless endangerment charge.
Travis Bateman was cleared Wednesday in Watford City.
Bateman allegedly injured the motorcycle driver and a passenger in the incident.
An attorney for Bateman didn’t immediately respond to a telephone message requesting comment from The Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is taking the fight over the state’s law restricting new power generation from coal to a higher court.
A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s decision last week that barred Minnesota from enforcing key sections of the Next Generation Energy Act. The court sided with North Dakota utilities and other interests that argued illegally regulates out-of-state utilities.
Dayton announced on Wednesday his intent to appeal that ruling. He argues it doesn’t illegally restrict new coal-powered plants but merely requires that they be offset by reductions at existing plants.
The Democratic governor says it’s a matter of protecting air quality. But the federal appeals court said Minnesota would need Congressional approval to enforce that section of the 2007 law.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Extra law enforcement patrols across North Dakota over the Memorial Day holiday period resulted in just under 2,000 citations.
Forty-eight agencies took part in the extra patrols May 23 through June 5 that were aimed at seat belt enforcement.
The state Transportation Department says 1,995 tickets were issued, including 695 for failure to use a proper safety restraint. There were 739 tickets for speeding. There were 18 drug arrests and five citations for driving under the influence.
Federal grant money funded the extra patrols.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota has unveiled its Fighting Hawks logo.
It depicts a white hawk head with black shading and a black eye, atop the letters “ND” in green. UND also unveiled a “North Dakota Fighting Hawks” wordmark, or descriptive name, to enhance the new graphic identity.
The Grand Forks school retired its controversial Fighting Sioux nickname nearly four years ago after the NCAA deemed it to be hostile and abusive.
The Fighting Hawks nickname was selected in a vote of alumni, students and staff. It beat out Roughriders, Nodaks, Sundogs and North Stars, and has been in use since late last year.
New York-based SME Branding worked for several months to design a logo to accompany the new moniker. Interim UND President Ed Schafer made the final decision.

NEW YORK (AP) – Donald Trump is laying out a number of goals for the first 100 days of his potential presidential administration. He says he’d “appoint judges who uphold the Constitution,” reform the nation’s immigration policies and repeal the Affordable Care Act. And in a swipe at Hillary Clinton, he says he would “impose tough new ethics rules to restore dignity to the office of the secretary of state.” Trump’s speech Wednesday at a hotel he owns in Manhattan was largely a wide-ranging attack on Clinton.
UNDATED (AP) – Bernie Sanders is all but acknowledging that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee. The Vermont senator tells C-SPAN, “It doesn’t appear that I’m going be the nominee.” But he is urging Clinton to pick a running mate who he considers to be liberal. He says it would be a “terrible mistake for her to go to a candidate who has roots in Wall Street or has been backed by Wall Street.” The senator says he expects to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Officials say a small plane with two sick workers has arrived at a British station in Antarctica. It’s the first leg in a daring rescue mission from a remote U.S. station at the South Pole. The next step is for the two patients to be flown off the continent, probably to South America, for further medical care. That could happen later today or tomorrow, depending on weather conditions and the workers’ health.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A former American Airlines operations manager has pleaded guilty in Pittsburgh to a federal interstate child-sex charge. Prosecutors agreed to recommend a 10-year prison term for Ray Howland. He was arrested near Pittsburgh International Airport last June by an undercover agent who posed as a woman with a 10-year-old daughter. Howland had posted online that he was “looking for a family or a couple of girls” for sex while in town on business. While working at American Airlines on 9/11, Howland learned of the first hijacking before the jet struck the World Trade Center.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lawyers have delivered closing arguments in the trial of a Los Angeles copyright lawsuit that claims that the guitarist and singer for Led Zeppelin stole a riff from the band Spirit for their 1971 hit “Stairway to Heaven.” A lawyer for the plaintiffs said Jimmy Page and Robert Plant had selective memories on the witness stand. The attorney for Page and Plant said any copyright lawsuit should have been brought back when “Stairway to Heaven” came out, nearly a half-century ago.
