BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A new study says it will take up to $7
billion to keep up North Dakota’s county and township roads during
the next 20 years.
Denver Tolliver is director of the Upper Great Plains
Transportation Institute at North Dakota State University.
He says $834 million is needed during the next two years alone.
The report says almost two-thirds of the money in the next two
years should go to western North Dakota’s oil-producing region.
The roads have taken a pounding from truck traffic.
The institute did a similar study in 2010.
Tolliver says costs have since risen about 26 percent because of
more expensive gravel, road paving materials and contracting
expenses. The study also anticipates more oil wells being drilled.
The study was given Thursday to a state legislative committee.
HANKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The Richland County Sheriff’s Office says a man has died in an industrial accident after getting entangled in some equipment.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the gravel pit area about three miles southwest of Hankinson at 11:15 a.m. Thursday and found the man dead.
Authorities did not release his name.
The man’s body was taken to the North Dakota Medical Examiner’s
Office in Bismarck and the investigation is continuing.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo police have arrested a second juvenile
in the armed robbery of a store last week.
Authorities say two suspects entered Rayon’s Market on Sept. 11
with their faces covered and displayed knives.
They fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was hurt.
One boy was arrested earlier this week. The second arrest was
announced Thursday.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has
suspended an East Grand Forks, Minn., attorney from practicing law
in North Dakota for 30 days.
Justices say Pattie Jensen violated professional conduct rules
because she was negligent in communicating with a client.
The court said four previously disciplinary actions against Jensen figured
into the decision.
Her monthlong suspension is effective Nov. 1.
Jensen was admitted to the North Dakota Bar in 1985. She
declined comment on her suspension.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A man sentenced in 1990 to 20 years in
prison for shooting the police chief in the northeastern North
Dakota town of Emerado could face another 20-year term if convicted
on drug charges.
50-year-old Dale Densmore has pleaded not guilty to manufacturing
methamphetamine on a farmstead near Larimore, along with other drug
counts.
Densmore was arrested at the farmstead last May after a
three-hour standoff with police. He has been in jail since.
Densmore pleaded guilty in 1990 to attempted murder after
shooting Emerado Police Chief Eric Stewart in the face and head.
Stewart survived.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston Mayor Ward Koeser has been given an outstanding public service award from the North Dakota Petroleum Council.
Council President Ron Ness says Koeser has kept the city on an even keel over the past 18 years, leading it from an oil bust to an oil boom town.
Koeser says he won’t seek re-election when his term expires in 2014 because he wants to make way for someone younger. The cancer survivor says he also wants to spend more time with his family.
Since Koeser became mayor, Williston’s population has doubled to more than 25,000 people and the unemployment rate is less than 1 percent, all thanks to the oil boom.
Koeser believes Williston is on track to become “the best little city in America.”
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot State University President David Fuller
says he plans to retire in about two years.
Fuller says he will step down June 30, 2014.
He says he’s announcing his decision now so the university and state Board of
Higher Education can begin the process of finding his successor.
Fuller became Minot State’s eighth president in 2004.
He also serves as president of Dakota College at Bottineau, which is
affiliated with Minot State.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A summer survey shows a much larger
pheasant population in North Dakota this year, but wildlife
officials are urging hunters in some areas to temper expectations
because last year’s numbers were low.
The state Game and Fish Department estimates that the number of
pheasants statewide is up 59 percent over the year.
Upland Game Management Supervisor Stan Kohn says the increase is encouraging, though he says habitat continues to be lost to haying or to crops.
Kohn cites several factors for the population increase,
including a mild winter and a nice spring.
Three straight harsh winters beginning in 2008 cut into pheasant
numbers.
Last year’s survey found a population drop of one-third
from the previous year.
This year’s regular pheasant season opens Oct. 13 and runs
through next Jan. 6.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is trying to tamp
down public anger in Pakistan over the anti-Islam film produced in
the U.S.
The American embassy in Islamabad is spending $70,000 to
run an ad on Pakistani television featuring President Barack Obama
and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton denouncing the video.
The State Department says the aim is to get the message to the
widest possible audience in Pakistan, where tens of thousands of
protestors angry about the film tried to reach the U.S. embassy
before being turned back by Pakistani police.
CLEVELAND (AP) – Members of an Amish breakaway group in Ohio
have been found guilty of hate crimes by carrying out beard- and
hair-cutting attacks against fellow Amish in a dispute over
religious differences.
The jury today also found their leader guilty of planning the attacks last fall in eastern Ohio.
He and his family members were among 16 people who have been on trial in
Cleveland.
They all face possible prison terms of 10 years or more.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A judge in San Francisco is fining a
Taiwanese company $500 million — and two of its former top
executives have been sentenced to three years in prison — for
their roles in a global conspiracy to fix the prices of LCD
screens.
The sentences are among the harshest penalties ever given
in an antitrust criminal case.
But the Justice Department had wanted even tougher punishment — including 10 years in prison for the executives.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – Space shuttle Endeavour has flown over
Tucson, Ariz., on its trek west to retirement in a Los Angeles
museum.
Endeavour, atop a modified jumbo jet, did a partial loop
over the city to honor former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
before it continued its journey west.
The retired shuttle departed Houston earlier in the day after a one-day stop at the home of NASA’s Mission Control. It’s due in Los Angeles tomorrow. This is the last flight for a space shuttle.
NEW YORK (AP) – Now we know how the tabby cat earns his stripes.
He just needs the right DNA.
Scientists say they’ve found the gene that determines which of the common tabby patterns a cat will have.
Cats with narrow stripes have a working copy of the gene.
If a mutation turns the gene off, the cat ends up with the blotchy
pattern.
The gene is one of several that work to create the distinctive design of a cat’s coat. It’s the first of the pattern genes to be identified.
The research appears online in the journal Science.
