BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A witness in a Beulah murder conspiracy case has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of burglary and theft of property but will not see additional jail time.
Eighteen-year-old Avalino Lopez was sentenced to one year in jail with all of it suspended but the time he already has spent behind bars, and put on supervised probation.
Mercer County State’s Attorney Jessica Binder says Lopez spent about 50 days in jail. He also was ordered to pay restitution in the May burglaries of homes and garages in Beulah.
Lopez was a witness in the murder conspiracy trial of Richard Whitman and Cody Borner last month. Both men were convicted in the Jan. 31 shooting death of Michael Padilla and the wounding of his brother, Timothy Padilla.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Four men face charges in the shooting of
an Idaho man in the North Dakota oil patch city of Williston in
May.
The men are accused in the shooting of 25-year-old Kenneth Moore Jr., of Boise, Idaho. Police say Moore suffered multiple gunshot wounds
outside an apartment complex.
Charges against the suspects range from conspiracy to attempted
murder. Authorities have not said what might have sparked the
shooting.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota political leaders are pushing
Congress for passage of a farm bill before the fall deadline.
Experts say it’s not likely to happen.
Former North Dakota governor and U.S. agriculture secretary Ed
Schafer says Congress has rarely met deadlines for farm
legislation, let alone in an election year. He expects a temporary
extension.
North Dakota State University researcher Dwight Aakre (AH’-kree)
says the House Agriculture Committee’s approval this week surprised
him, but he believes that meeting a September deadline is a “big
hurdle.”
The bill has passed the Senate. It might not reach the full
House.
Aakre says he doesn’t believe claims by political candidates
that farmers need to know what’s in the bill in order to plan for
next year.
Says Aakre, “Nothing really changes for producers.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota school officials are happy about a plan to tell high schools about how their graduates are doing in college.
North Dakota University System Chancellor Ham Shirvani (shur-VAH’-nee) says he wants the university system to provide the information.
High schools would be told about the academic performance of their graduates when they’re freshmen in North Dakota colleges.
Shirvani says the data would help high schools improve their instruction. North Dakota School Boards Association Director Jon Martinson agrees. He says the initiative is welcome.
North Dakota Education Association President Dakota Draper says he likes the idea too, as long as it’s constructive and the information isn’t used to target specific teachers.
Shirvani says most states already provide the college information to high schools, but North Dakota doesn’t.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota health officials have cited two companies, accusing them of dumping more than a half million gallons of raw sewage from oilfield operations in ditches and fields.
The state Health Department announced Friday that it issued violation notices to Fairview, Mont.-based Hurley Oilfield Services and Mon-Dak Water & Septic Service of Stanley.
State environmental health chief Dave Glatt (glaht) says the Montana company is accused of illegally dumping about 100 loads of raw sewage. He says the North Dakota company is accused of dumping about 40 loads. Each load is at least 4,000 gallons.
Glatt says the sewage came from crew camps and drill sites in western North Dakota.
Neither company immediately returned telephone calls from The Associated Press on Friday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities has been given a three-year, $533,000 federal grant aimed at curbing Medicare fraud and abuse.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services funds the program. The North Dakota grant is one of 54 programs nationwide.
Medicare is the federal government’s health insurance program for people age 65 and older.
Officials say the grant is aimed at educating Medicare users about health care fraud and scams targeting citizens.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The Minot City Council has approved a plan for spending federal disaster recovery grant money, after shifting more money to programs that help homeowners rebuild.
The city is getting $68 million through Housing and Urban Development to help with recovery from last summer’s historic Souris River flooding. The city’s plan for spending the money includes helping homeowners with repairs as well as other measures such as developing affordable housing and repairing infrastructure.
Some residents said more of the money should go to help flooded homeowners, and less should go for administration and infrastructure. City officials redirected half of $4.5 million intended for storm sewer improvements to programs to help homeowners with repairs or reconstructions.
HUD must approve the plan.
The 2011 flood swamped more than 4,000 homes and businesses.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) – President Barack Obama says if Mitt
Romney and Republicans aren’t willing to let tax cuts lapse for the
wealthiest Americans, they’re “not serious” about deficit
reduction. At a campaign rally in Virginia Beach, Va., the
president renewed calls to extend Bush-era tax breaks for the poor
and middle class while the two sides argue about the remaining top
2 percent of Americans. The GOP calls Obama’s plan a recipe for a
massive tax hike that’ll hit small business. Obama is kicking off
two days of campaigning in Virginia.
BEIRUT (AP) – The Obama administration is blaming Syria’s
government for the latest violence, which activists say has left
scores of people dead in a poor farming village. The activists are
backing away from previous statements that more than 200 people
were killed, but one provided a list of 103 names.
RIPLEY, W. Va. (AP) – Prosecutors in the case of a West Virginia
man accused of torturing and abusing his wife for years may not be
getting much help from the alleged victim. Stephanie Lizon
(LY’-zahn) testified Friday that all of her burns and bruises were
accidents, and she denies that her husband kept her bound in
chains. But the judge is refusing to dismiss the charge, and found
probable cause to let the case proceed.
NEW YORK (AP) – Lisa Gaines says she figured the cabin of a
yacht was the safest place on board for her 7-year-old daughter,
Victoria. But when the yacht capsized near Long Island on the
Fourth of July, the young girl and two other children who were
inside the cabin were killed. Gaines tells NBC’s “Today” show
that she doesn’t know if the boat was overcrowded — but that’s one
possibility being investigated.
NEW YORK (AP) – Apple says it is putting its products back on an
environmental ratings registry, saying it made a mistake in
removing them from the list. It’s considered an industry standard
and it helps customers buy electronics that are environmentally
friendly. After Apple said it was withdrawing from the registry and
that it did not plan to submit its products for ratings in the
future, the city of San Francisco said it would stop buying Apple
computers.
