FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo judge who is facing a suspension over sexual harassment allegations says he won’t seek re-election.
East Central District Court Judge Wickham Corwin makes the announcement in a letter to the Cass County Bar Association obtained by The Associated Press. In it, he writes that he has enjoyed the job, but not the publicity.
Corwin did not immediately respond to a message left at his office.
Corwin’s term ends Dec. 31 of next year.
Corwin is accused of trying to start an affair with his former court reporter. The woman has never filed a formal complaint but the issue went before a disciplinary panel of the North Dakota Supreme Court.
The state Judicial Conduct Commission has recommended Corwin be suspended for two months.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Heavy freight traffic is hampering Amtrak passenger trains between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest.
Spokesman Marc Magliari says Amtrak is canceling or altering many of the Empire Builder trips between Chicago and Portland, Ore., through Sunday as a result of the congestion on the tracks that Amtrak shares with BNSF Railway.
He says hundreds of travelers are affected. Amtrak is offering to rebook trips.
Much of the congestion is due to heavy freight train traffic in the western North Dakota oil fields. BNSF spokeswoman Amy McBeth says the recent cold snap also has been a factor because it has slowed everything down.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s top oil regulator says producers will increasingly ship more crude by rail to take advantage of better prices at markets not served by pipelines.
State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms told the Legislature’s Government Finance Committee on Thursday that he expects as much as 90 percent of the state’s crude will move by rail in 2014. Rail shipments now account for about 60 percent of crude produced in North Dakota.
North Dakota’s oil production is nearing 1 million barrels daily.
Helms says oil prices have been slipping since July. He says it costs more to ship oil by rail than by pipeline, but producers are able net about $24 more per barrel by sending it on trains to U.S. refineries, where premium prices are fetched.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – A proposal to ship North Dakota crude oil by train to Vancouver mostly drew opponents to a public hearing Wednesday night in Spokane.
Most of the 75 people at the state hearing cited risks of train derailments, spills or fires as well as global climate change from using oil.
The Spokesman-Review reports the proposed terminal at the Port of Vancouver could result in up to four oil trains a day passing through Spokane.
Supporters say the terminal is needed because there’s no major oil pipeline on the route. The oil would be shipped from the Port of Vancouver to refineries on the West Coast.
The state Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council is reviewing the Tesoro-Savage proposal. Others are proposed and Washington refineries already are receiving oil shipments by train.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A renown Swedish health institute is giving the University of North Dakota medical school $1.9 million for a research project.
The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm is investigating severe deep-tissue infections, including those that caused a global pandemic in the 1990s that killed thousands of people.
UND’s research will be led by Malak Kotb (MAWL’-uhk KAWT’-buh), an infectious disease and biodefense expert who last spring was named founding chair of the school’s department of basic sciences.
The Karolinska Institute is responsible for determining the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota company that has sent thousands of the state’s winter-hardy cows to Kazakhstan since 2010 has yet to ink a deal this year with the oil-rich country.
Bismarck-based Global Beef Consultants co-owner Dan Price says the former Soviet republic increasingly is importing cows from Canada and Australia to help build its beef industry.
But he says a deal may still be in the works for North Dakota cattle.
More than 5,000 Angus and Hereford cows bred to withstand North Dakota’s brutal-cold winters have been airfreighted in jumbo jets to Kazakhstan over the past three years.
Mandan rancher Fred Helbling says he’s provided cattle for the Kazakhs in past years. But he says a strong domestic market may be driving prices higher than the Kazakhs want to pay.
In world and national news…
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) – A newlywed bride who’s accused of deliberately pushing her husband to his death in Montana’s Glacier National Park has agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder. News of the plea agreement for 22-year-old Jordan Graham came as a jury was set to hear closing arguments in her murder trial. A judge is still deciding whether to accept the deal. Under the plea agreement, prosecutors would drop charges of first-degree murder and making a false statement. Graham would face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
SANAA, Yemen (AP) – There’s word of a deadly U.S. drone strike in Yemen — a country where the al-Qaida branch is considered to be among the most active in the world. Yemeni officials say the drone attack hit a convoy heading to a wedding party, killing at least 13 people. One official says al-Qaida militants may have been traveling with the convoy.
WASHINGTON (AP) – As the House prepares to vote Thursday on a budget measure, there’s been criticism from both the left and the right. And House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) is denouncing some of the conservative groups that are attacking the measure — saying those groups are trying to further their own objectives, and not those of the Republican party or the country. He says some groups linked to the tea party are “pushing” Republican lawmakers “into places where they don’t want to be.” Boehner says the budget measure “takes great steps in the right direction.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – The rapid melting in the Arctic has eased up this year. The report card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration portrays 2013 as moderate, compared with the previous warmer year. But the government says global warming is still dramatically altering the top of the world, reducing the number of reindeer and shrinking snow and ice — while also increasing certain fish and extending the growing season.
ATLANTA (AP) – Health officials say the flu season seems to be getting off to a more normal start this year. Reports of the flu have been increasing, particularly in the South. But it’s nothing like last year, when flu hit early and very hard in early December. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it’s too early to know how bad this season will be or when it will peak. Flu is usually the worst in January or February.
