BISMARCK, N.D. (AP Oct 4, 2013) Friday afternoon a no travel advisory was issued for far southwest North Dakota and a travel alert put in place for Bismarck and Dickinson.
The state Transportation Department says heavy snow is creating poor visibility and slush on the road in the southwest corner of the state, so no travel is advised in Hettinger, Mott and surrounding areas.
A travel alert that’s been extended to Bismarck, Dickinson and surrounding areas means drivers can still travel but might run into challenging winter weather driving conditions.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – Friday afternoon, South Dakota officials extended the Interstate 90 closure to a stretch from Wall to the Wyoming border because of the early autumn blizzard hitting the western part of the state.
Officials say the 110-mile section of the interstate will remain closed until storm conditions improve and crews can clear the roads.
The state Transportation Department is recommending no travel on many other western South Dakota roads.
The National Weather Service says up to 2 feet of snow is expected across the Black Hills, with winds gusting to 70 mph. Up to 3 feet is possible in the northern Black Hills, with parts of the plains getting up to a foot.
Steve Trimarchi (try-MAHR’-kee) of the National Weather Service says such snows are particularly unusual this early on the plains.
Large hail and powerful winds were forecast to hit northwest Oklahoma later Friday, while storms were forecast from there into Wisconsin into Saturday.
Valley City, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 4, 2013) — Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley Friday joined state officials, and Valley City State University President Steve Shirley, faculty, staff, and students for the Rhoades Science Center dedication. The Center, which focuses on STEM education, underwent a $10.3 million renovation, including a new addition, using an allocation from the 2011 legislative session.
Wrigley said, “The STEM education and training happening in the Rhoades Science Center will open doors for countless bright, young students. Wrigley North Dakota offers more career opportunities now than ever before. While our success is no accident, there is no guarantee it will continue forever without the right policy choices. By prioritizing the passionate and well-educated people joining our workforce, we are taking the right steps to help ensure the future.”
Originally constructed in 1973, the Rhoades Science Center renovation project included a complete interior remodel and a 27,000 square foot addition to the building’s south side. The building houses the Great Plains STEM Education Center, math, science, technology, engineering, health and physical education, as well as VCSU’s Information Technology Center. There is also general classroom space, a greenhouse, a planetarium, and laboratories.
To the extent possible, the design and construction of the building followed standards set forth by the United States Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Part of a boom fell onto a construction worker’s leg at the University of North Dakota campus and sent the man to the hospital.
It happened Friday morning when the device fell several feet while it was being disassembled from a truck bed.
A fellow worker with Landwehr Construction, of St. Cloud, Minn., says the man was hit on the side of his lower shin. The campus police chief says it’s possible he broke his leg.
The crane crew had finished driving in pilings for a new bridge on the south side of campus and were taking apart the boom.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An arrest warrant has been issued for a North Dakota woman charged with aggravated domestic assault for allegedly beating her mother in the head with a metal pole.
Amber Rae Asleson, of Kindred, who is 26 or 27, was charged in court with one count of felony domestic aggravated assault.
According to court documents, Asleson’s mother, Lisa Miller, was in her home in April when Asleson walked in, picked up a metal pole and started striking her mother in the head.
The police report says Asleson then punched her mother in the face six times, threw her to the ground and kicked her in the side.
The report says Miller told police her daughter had never abused her before.
LINCOLN, N.D. (AP) – The Lincoln police chief is on paid administrative leave because of a domestic violence restraining order against him.
According to court documents, the order was signed Sept. 23 after a hearing involving Chief Marcel Sim, his wife and their lawyers.
Mayor Bob Johnston says Sim has been on paid administrative leave for at least a week.
The police chief position had been placed on the Lincoln City Council agenda Thursday, but the council delayed any discussion, saying that attorneys involved are negotiating.
Johnston says Sim will stay on paid leave until the council knows more about the restraining order.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A 1-year-old Minnesota boy who was poisoned when he bit into a Tide detergent pod is improving at a North Dakota hospital.
Alexander Rohde from Hitterdal, Minn., was flown to Sanford’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Fargo last weekend.
He’s he’s now breathing on his own.
An aunt posted to an online site that Alex was taken off the breathing tubes on Friday morning and “being a little feisty” but that’s OK.
Family members say he thought the pod was a treat. He started throwing up and soon could not breathe.
Alex’s mother, Michelle Klienschmidt, says Tide should change the look of its pod. The company said in a statement it’s working to educate people on keeping them out of the reach of children.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University officials say they have received notice that the U.S. Army will close the school’s Army Reserve Officer Training Corp. program at the end of the 2014-2015 academic year.
NSDU President Dean L. Bresciani says he’s disappointed that one of the top performing programs in the Midwest is being eliminated. Bresciani says the Army is closing 13 of 273 ROTC programs nationwide. He says the letter from the U.S. Army says the NDSU closing is not a reflection of the program’s quality.
NDSU’s ROTC program has 72 cadets enrolled through the Tri-College University, which includes NDSU, Concordia College and Minnesota State University-Moorhead.
FORT TOTTEN, N.D. (AP) – Social workers at the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation have been furloughed because of the federal government shutdown, causing worries among tribal officials and Sen. John Hoeven.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs took over social services from the tribe a year ago after complaints about rampant abuse of children.
Hoeven says he has written a letter telling the BIA it has the authority to keep the office open during the shutdown because the care of children is essential and should not be interrupted.
Tribal Chairman Leander “Russ” McDonald says a skeleton crew remains on duty. But he says the shutdown has limited the office’s ability to conduct in-depth work such as placement of children through the court system.

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans say since Congress and the president will be in town this weekend, it’s the perfect time to start negotiating on a plan to reopen the government. Republican leaders say the House will be in session tomorrow so that it can continue passing bills that would reopen selected parts of the government. The White House is responding by issuing fresh veto threats, saying Congress should reopen the entire federal government. President Barack Obama is again saying that the shutdown “could be over today,” if House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) would let the House vote on a spending measure with nothing attached.
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) – According to a federal law enforcement official, Miriam Carey had been deteriorating mentally for months, before leading police on a chase from the White House to the Capitol Thursday. The chase ended when police shot and killed the woman, who had tried to ram her car through a White House barrier. The official says Carey had been delusional in recent months, and had said she believed President Barack Obama was communicating to her.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A 71-year-old man who spent more than four decades in solitary confinement in Louisiana has died, less than a week after a judge freed him and granted him a new trial.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – An attorney for a San Francisco man is denying that his client operated an encrypted website where users could anonymously shop for drugs such as heroin and LSD.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) – Authorities say one of the men who was shot and killed in a deer-hunting camp in northeastern Oregon was the foster father of the 14-year-old boy identified as the shooter. A sheriff says two guns were involved – a hunting rifle and a revolver – and the shootings occurred about the same time, with one victim shot inside the cabin and one outside. Authorities say after the shootings another person at the deer camp held the boy at gunpoint while police were notified. The boy apparently accidentally shot himself in the leg. Authorities aren’t saying whether a motive has been established.
