 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Health officials say 19 cases of West Nile
have been reported in North Dakota.

The virus is carried by mosquitoes.
Officials say four of the cases have been reported in Burleigh
County.

Barnes County reports two human cases and Stutsman County one human case.
     Last year, the state had four human cases of West Nile.
     The virus was first confirmed in North Dakota in 2002.

The highest human case total in the state was 617 in 2003.
    

 JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University researchers
are growing seeds from the state’s only known subalpine fir tree,
to see if the species can become a part of the state’s landscape.
     Jamestown resident Dennis Roaldson owns the tree.

 He says he brought the young fir from Montana in 1980. He didn’t know what it was until City Forester Vern Quam identified it years later.
     Roaldson says when he entered the tree in the state Forest Service’s Champion Tree program – which recognizes the largest of each species in the state – he found out it was the only subalpine fir in North Dakota.
     NDSU researcher Todd West says officials want to know if the
non-native tree is suitable for widespread use in North Dakota, to
increase diversity.

 

   BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Las Vegas woman charged along with her
boyfriend in a North Dakota counterfeit case says she will plead
guilty in federal court.

Eighteen-year-old Kasi Switzer is accused of manufacturing and passing bogus bills to several businesses in Watford City.

 A plea hearing has not been set.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a man accused of robbing a
bank in Williston called 911 three days later from his home in
Kansas and told police to arrest him.

Court documents say 53-year-old Kent Clemens held up the Gate City Bank on July 18th, then turned himself in on July 21st.

Police say Clemens was sitting on his front porch when officers arrived.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Republican U.S. Senate
candidate Rick Berg got a few moments in the spotlight at the
Republican National Convention yesterday.

The Republican congressman spoke for two minutes about North Dakota’s low unemployment, job growth and state budget surplus.

He says North Dakota provides a contrast to the sluggish national economy.

 

　FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A subsidiary of Walgreens is closing a call
center in Fargo where 63 people work. More than half could lose
their jobs.
     The Take Care Health Systems facility will shut down by the end of the
year. Walgreens spokesman Jim Graham says the company decided to
move work to call centers that employ 500 people or more.

     The Fargo center opened in 2007. Employees take calls relating
to such matters as billing and customer service for clinics that
operate within Walgreens pharmacies.

Graham says 28 workers will be given the option of working from home. The remaining Fargo positions will be moved to a center in Orlando, Fla.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Residents of North Dakota’s capital city
will vote in November on a proposed $90 million expansion of the
Bismarck Civic Center.
     The City Commission on Tuesday approved ballot language.
Residents will be asked to approve a 1.5 percent motel, liquor and
restaurant tax and a 1 percent lodging tax to help fund an
expansion aimed at increasing the Civic Center’s convention
business.
     The downtown facility has a large arena that can host about
10,000 people for events ranging from sports to concerts. It also
has a separate exhibit hall.
     Local Chamber of Commerce President Kelvin Hullet tells The
Bismarck Tribune that Billings, Mont., and the South Dakota cities
of Sioux Falls and Rapid City all are building or proposing
multimillion-dollar arena expansions, and Bismarck needs to
compete.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials don’t like plans by the Army Corps of Engineers to charge fees for people who want to use Missouri River water.
 
     The Corps is holding a public comment session in Bismarck Tuesday. The idea also drew objections at a public meeting in Pierre, S.D., on Monday.
 
     North Dakota U.S. Sen. John Hoeven and U.S. Rep. Rick Berg say when the Missouri River’s dam system was built, North Dakota and other states that were flooded were promised water benefits. Now, they say the Corps of Engineers wants to charge for those benefits.
 
     Hoeven says if the corps goes ahead with its plan to charge for stored water in Missouri River reservoirs, he believes the state should challenge the idea in federal court.
 

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota is testing its Amber Alert
system that is used to help searches for missing children.
     The state Department of Emergency Services says the test will
take place at 2 p.m. Thursday. It will be sent to media outlets.
The tests are done every year.
     North Dakota’s system has been activated four times since it was
set up in August 2002 to help locate missing children who might be
in danger.
     Three times, the child was found safely. One child who was the
subject of an Amber Alert hasn’t been found.

Three-year-old Reachelle (ruh-SHELL’) Smith of Minot has been missing since May 2006.
