MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Upper Midwest remains locked in the deep freeze, with bitter temperatures stretching into a fourth day across several states.
The cold snap arrived Saturday night as waves of Arctic air swept south from Canada, pushing temperatures to dangerous lows and leaving a section of the country well-versed in winter’s pains reeling.
Authorities suspect exposure has played a role in at least four deaths so far.
Among the coldest temperatures recorded Tuesday was 35 below at Crane Lake, Minn., a National Weather Service forecaster said early Wednesday.
The coldest location in the lower 48 states Monday was Embarrass, Minn., at 36 below, according to the National Weather Service.
The bitter conditions were expected to persist into the weekend in the Midwest through the eastern half of the U.S.
Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jan 23, 2013) — Valley City, North Dakota was voted by a business magazine, as the best location to raise children in the state.
Bloomberg Business Week reported that Valley City has a population of about 6,500, and is a hours drive from Fargo.
It said Valley City is a good place to avoid the average rural life, based on sights that break up the flat non-descript landscape on the prairie.
The reported noted Valley City’s eleven historic bridges, five city parks and a skating rink.
The report included that Valley City has a median family income is $62,406 with housing costs as a percentage of income at 14 percent.
It reported that Barnes County’s unemployment rate is currently at 2.5 percent.
FORT TOTTEN, N.D. (AP) – A man hired by the Spirit Lake Sioux last summer to manage the North Dakota tribe’s beleaguered child protection program faces charges in an alleged domestic disturbance at a Grand Forks apartment last August.
Thirty-four-year-old Mark Little Owl is accused of hitting the mother of his two boys with his fist, taking her cell phone and throwing one of the boys from a bedroom where the alleged incident took place.
He’s charged with theft, simple assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. His attorney, Patrick Rosenquist, says Little Owl intends to plead not guilty. An arraignment is scheduled for March 5.
Little Owl last fall took charge of a tribal social services program that was under fire for allegedly putting children at risk.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are considering a bill that would reimburse business owners for signage and other potential costs incurred from a new statewide smoking ban.
The new law passed by voters in November expands the ban to bars, motels, private nursing homes, cabs and public transportation. It also prohibits smoking within 20 feet of an entrance to a public building.
Republican Rep. Blair Thoreson (THOR’-suhn) of Fargo is one of the bill’s sponsors. He also owns a bar. Thoreson told the House Human Resources Committee that there are expensive costs involved in complying with the new law, including signage.
But North Dakota Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control Policy director Jeanne Prom says posting required signs doesn’t have to be expensive. She says they can even be handwritten.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set at $100,000 cash for a man charged with attempted murder in the shooting of another man in Minot.
Thirty-one-year-old Brian Muzzy is accused in the Sunday night shooting at a mobile home court of Shaun Scott, who is believed to be Muzzy’s roommate. Scott is in good condition in a Minot hospital.
Muzzy turned himself in Monday and made his initial court appearance Tuesday. Prosecutors said they considered Muzzy a flight risk since he recently moved from Colorado.
Muzzy told the judge he would seek a court-appointed attorney. He is due back in court Feb. 28.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Bismarck City Commission has hired a company to design a Bismarck Civic Center expansion that would cost only $25 million.
Voters rejected a $90 million plan last November, and commissioners had been discussing a scaled-down $31 million plan that would double the size of the detached Exhibit Hall and upgrade locker rooms and performer dressing rooms in the main arena.
The $25 million plan would scrap the main arena improvements and focus only on the Exhibit Hall.
Bismarck officials fear large conventions might move to improved facilities in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, S.D. Bismarck can pay for a smaller Civic Center expansion project without a public vote if it uses existing taxes. The project voted down last year called for a tax increase.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – As she testifies to a pair of Congressional panels today about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya in September, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been hearing the anger of Republicans who aren’t satisfied with steps taken by the Obama administration before and after the attack. After Clinton told senators that she hadn’t seen earlier requests from Libya for beefed-up security, Republican Sen. Rand Paul told her that if he had been president at the time, he would have relieved Clinton of her post.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate’s Democratic leader and the White House say they will go along with the debt-limit extension passed Wednesday by the House. It gives the government enough borrowing authority to last for at least the next four months, avoiding a first-ever default. It also contains a provision that withholds pay for House or Senate members if the chamber in which they serve fails to pass a budget plan. It’s a slap at the Senate, which hasn’t debated a budget since 2009.
BEIRUT (AP) – Activists say fighting between rebels and government forces in Syria’s capital and the northern part of that country Wednesday has killed at least 60 people, including six members of a family who died in a government rocket attack. Meanwhile, Russia is acknowledging for the first time that it pulled the families of its diplomats out of Syria a while ago. Moscow says the departure of 77 more Russian citizens yesterday doesn’t mark the start of a larger rescue effort. Russia has been a close ally of Syria’s Bashar Assad.
FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – A Southern California school police force has acquired semiautomatic rifles for officers to bring to campuses under a controversial safety program. Fontana Unified School District police purchased 14 of the rifles last fall, well before the Connecticut school massacre. They arrived last month. The school superintendent says they’re only to be used if there’s an attack on a campus. Critics say such guns have no place on campuses and the $14,000 should have been used to restore counseling programs.
NEW YORK (AP) – Scientists say DNA might be a useful tool for storing digital information — the kind of thing we do with hard drives and CDs today. They say DNA could hold the information from a million CDs in a space no bigger than your little finger, and keep it safe for centuries. The report appears online in the journal Nature.
