　BISMARCK, N.D. (AP Oct 11, 2013) – North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple says he’s happy the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to reopen federal public lands in time for the state’s pheasant opener.
 
     Dalrymple says the decision announced Friday applies to 288,000 acres in North Dakota. He says the partial government shutdown should not have been used as a “legal justification” to close unstaffed public lands.
 
     The federal wildlife areas had been closed since Oct. 1.
 
     Dalrymple and Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem say they were preparing to file a complaint Friday afternoon asking a federal judge to reopen the lands when U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe made the announcement.
 
     North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven sent letters to Ashe and U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell asking to keep the wildlife lands open for hunters.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State University president says the school is on solid financial footing after a lean three-year period when it risked losing its accreditation.
 
     Dean Bresciani (bruh-SHAW’-nee) said in his annual state of the university speech Thursday that the school is “out of the woods” primarily because lawmakers in the last session passed a new higher education funding formula.
 
     Bresciani says he thought it would take at least five years and possibly up to 10 years for the school to recover from the financial crisis.
 
     The president says the university should be able to restore years of budget cuts and is planning what could be the largest increase in new faculty hires in NDSU history.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State University Development Foundation says it will guarantee funding to expand and renovate a sports facility on campus.
 
     The Sanford Health Athletic Complex and Scheels Center will include seating for more than 5,700 fans for basketball, as well as other workout and sports medicine areas.
 
     The development foundation will back the project up to $41 million. It still needs approval from the state Board of Higher Education and state Legislature.
 
     School officials say renovation of the Bison Sports Arena will give NDSU “a true Division I athletic complex.”
 
     Sanford Health has given $10 million to the project and the Scheel family $5 million. School officials announced Thursday that Fargo businessman Jim Ingstad and his wife, Victoria, have committed $1.2 million to the project.

LEITH, N.D. (AP) – A white supremacist trying to turn a small southwestern North Dakota town into an all-white enclave has convinced a family to join him.
 
     Craig Cobb has been buying property in Leith and recruiting others with similar views to come to the community of two dozen people so he can create a voting majority and take over the town.
 
Kynan and Deborah Dutton, of Oregon, have moved into Cobb’s home with their five children. Cobb plans to put a mobile home on his property.
 
     Area residents have been pushing Cobb to leave. City Councilman Lee Cook says the presence of the Dutton family raises the level of seriousness.
 
     Health officials have ordered Cobb to equip his house with water and sewer. Cobb says he won’t comply.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s State Historical Society has delayed a decision on whether to buy the boyhood home of the famous bandleader Lawrence Welk.
 
     The society’s board wants more time to seek legal advice on how it can buy the six-acre property in Strasburg, and to gauge the willingness of state lawmakers to fund operating costs in coming years.
 
     The Legislature earlier this year included $100,000 in the Historical Society budget to buy the property, but lawmakers stipulated that repairs must be made before the purchase.
 
     State Sen. Robert Erbele says area residents are willing to invest hundreds of hours in making repairs and in keeping the site operating until the 2015 Legislature meets.
 
     The site is owned by Welk’s nieces, Evelyn and Edna Schwab. Evelyn says the delay is a letdown.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The mayor of a North Dakota town located in the path of a proposed Red River diversion channel says real estate prices are showing some life because of plans for a ring levee.
 
     Oxbow Mayor Jim Nyhof says three homes have sold since the Red River Diversion Authority approved the levee in May. He says a fourth home is about to close.
 
     Nyhof says no homes sold in the community of about 300 people from 2009 to 2012, after Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., leaders unveiled the diversion plan.
 
     The proposed $2 billion diversion would move water around Fargo and Moorhead, but a holding area that would be needed in times of serious flooding has put Oxbow and other residents south of the metro in jeopardy.

 LAKOTA, N.D. (AP) – A prized duck decoy that went missing in advance of a charity auction has been returned.
 
     The duck was painted with University of North Dakota colors and autographed by several present and past hockey team members, some of whom now play in the NHL.
 
     It was taken from the SunLac’s Sundowner Lounge in Lakota sometime before Tuesday.
 
     The duck will be among more than 80 plastic decoys to will be auctioned Saturday in the Duckfest fundraising event to benefit the public libraries in Lakota and the nearby town of Michigan.
 
     The  decoy was left in the men’s restroom of the lounge and discovered about 8 p.m. Thursday.
 
     Says Maria Vasicheck, one of the Duckfest organizers, “We are so happy.”

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – One Republican senator says he’s more optimistic now that he has been in the past two weeks. Mike Johanns of Nebraska spoke after a two-hour meeting between Senate Republicans and President Barack Obama at the White House. He’s predicting that in the next few days, a plan put forward by House Republicans “will kind of morph into a Senate plan.” House GOP leaders are offering a measure that would avoid default and end the partial shutdown — but it also involves cuts in benefit programs.
 
     ROME (AP)  – Friday’s accident involving a boat carrying migrants off the Italian island of Lampedusa appears to be far less deadly than the one last week in the same area that killed more than 300 people. Italy’s coast guard says many of the migrants aboard the boat that capsized Friday have been rescued. Helicopters have been carrying the injured to the island.
 
     BEIRUT (AP) – An international human rights group is accusing a group of rebel fighters in Syria — led by Islamic extremists — of killing at least 190 civilians and abducting more than 200 others during an offensive against villages that support the Bashar Assad regime. The group says the August attacks on unarmed civilians in more than a dozen villages amount to a war crime. The findings from Human Rights Watch were based on a visit a month later to the area, with permission from the Syrian regime.
 
     SEATTLE (AP) – The family of an ailing American who’s been held in North Korea for 11 months says he had an emotional reunion with his mother Friday. She was allowed into North Korea to see her son, Kenneth Bae, at a hospital where he’s been held since August. A Swedish diplomat who was there describes it as an emotional meeting. Bae, a tour operator and Christian missionary, was arrested last November while leading a group of tourists. He was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. Efforts by the U.S. government to free him have come up short.
 
     NEW YORK (AP) – New York City’s police commissioner says detectives want to speak to five other people in the attack on a SUV driver after a tense highway encounter. Eight bikers, including a police detective who was off-duty, have been arrested so far on charges ranging from criminal mischief to gang assault. Commissioner Raymond Kelly says police are still investigating.
