FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Backers of a proposed project in North Dakota that would turn a variety of sugar beets into ethanol are hoping to get commitments from growers by the end of the year.
North Dakota State University agriculture economics professor Dave Ripplinger, who’s helping developers with the project, is touring the state to gauge interest in growing the so-called energy or industrial beets. He says the turnout has been strong.
The goal is to open a plant by 2016 or 2017, but farmers map out their crop rotations at least two and perhaps four years in advance.
The leading sites in for the initial plant are Valley City, Jamestown, Carrington, Cando and Langdon.
Brett McIlonie, who farms near Pingree, says growers are interested in the project “if the numbers work.”
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo police say a high school student who was taken to a hospital on Feb. 18 after nearly drowning in a school pool has died.
Police say 19-year-old Frederic Ndereimana died on Saturday.
Ndereimana was pulled from the Fargo South swimming pool during a physical education class. Teachers performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
The incident is being investigated by the Fargo Police Department.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A small plane flying from Minot to Dickinson had to make an emergency landing in a farm field after the engine failed.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says 66-year-old Gordon Pavlicek was flying the 1971 Piper Cherokee 140 about 5:30 p.m. Saturday when he had to land in the Ward County field.
Pavlicek was not injured and the plane suffered just mechanical damage.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority says proposed increases of tar sands oil from Canada likely won’t have an impact on the state’s soaring oil production.
Justin Kringstad says “both Alberta and North Dakota are growing sources of crude and both are looking at how to move that oil to market.”
Calgary-based Enbridge has announced a $7 billion plan to increase the capacity of a crude oil pipeline that runs from Canada to Wisconsin. That project is in addition to the TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would run from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Kringstad says refinery destinations for the two crudes may differ because heavy sour crude from Alberta’s tar sands is of lower-value and more difficult to refine than North Dakota’s light sweet crude.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota is renewing a contract with Tokai (toh-KY’) University in Japan to train pilots.
Tokai University aviation students are at UND aerospace for 15 months while training to become commercial pilots.
The Grand Forks school has hosted more than 160 Tokai students since the first agreement eight years ago. This will be the third four-year contract between the schools.
A signing ceremony is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday at Odegard Hall.

Free copies can be obtained by calling the Agriculture Department at (800) 242-7535. The information also is available on the Pride of Dakota website, at www.prideofdakota.com .
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota committee that oversees the state’s Medicaid program is holding its quarterly meeting in Bismarck.
The Department of Human Services’ Medicaid Medical Advisory Committee will meet Thursday at the state Capitol. The committee includes lawmakers, advocates and representatives from health care provider associations.
Meeting agenda items include updates on the state’s Medicaid expansion that’s part of the new federal health care law.
SURREY, N.D. (AP) – The water system in the north central North Dakota city of Surrey is getting a $3.2 million upgrade.
The City Council recently approved construction of a new water tower, a new water main and a pump station upgrade. The work is to be done over two years.
The State Water Commission is providing a $1.5 million grant to help mitigate the cost. The improvements are still expected to cost property owners about $200 annually for 10 years. However, the project should improve the city’s insurance rating and mean lower fire insurance premiums for residents.

This year, police are expecting about 36,000 runners and up to a million spectators.
In world and national news…
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) – It looked like it might have been a life raft, but when rescue craft searching for signs of a missing Malaysia Airlines jet reached the area, the object turned out to be nothing but moss-covered trash. No trace of the Beijing-bound plane carrying 239 people has been found during two days of searching. Investigators are looking into two men who boarded with stolen passports, but there’s nothing to link them to the disappearance so far.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The behavior of many of the 5 million federal employees with secret clearances is of interest to U.S. intelligence officials, who are planning a sweeping system of electronic monitoring.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – A famous former Russian prisoner is leveling criticism at Moscow today over its actions in Ukraine. Speaking to students in Kiev, Mikhail Khodorkovsky (mih-hah-EEL’ khoh-dohr-KAHV’-skee) says Russia is ruining its longstanding friendship with Ukraine by its aggressive and pro-separatist actions in Crimea. Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s wealthiest man, was pardoned last December. Many believe the charges were trumped-up.

There was no tsunami warning.
