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.
HUDSON, Wis. (AP) – A judge has ruled attorneys for a North
Dakota construction worker accused of killing his three daughters
in Wisconsin will get copies of sensitive evidence.
The judge ruled yesterday at a motion hearing for Aaron Schaffhausen.
Prosecutors didn’t want to provide Schaffhausen’s lawyers with copies of the
materials for fear they would be made public.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A former treasurer of the Minot Swim Club has been ordered to spend a year in jail for embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the organization.
Melody Sundbakken was accused of writing unauthorized checks to herself from the swim club’s account. She pleaded guilty to felony theft.
Sundbakken also must pay $775 in fines and fees and more than $43,000 in restitution.
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.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The economy in rural parts of 10 Midwest and
Western states continued to look weak in September as the drought
weighed down agricultural businesses.
A new survey of bankers in the region released Thursday showed
that the overall economic index remained in negative territory at
48.3 in September.
That was slightly better than August’s 47.1 and July’s 47.9, but
any score below 50 on the 1-to-100 index suggests that the economy
will contract in months ahead.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says the drought is
already hurting businesses linked to agriculture like ethanol and
farm equipment dealers.
The survey covers rural areas of the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado and Wyoming.
The confidence index was also weak at 43 in September, up from
August’s 39.6.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Drought conditions continue to worsen
in the Dakotas.
The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows 96
percent of South Dakota is mired in some form of drought, up more
than 4 percent over the week.
Nearly 88 percent of North Dakota is in drought, up about 7 percent.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Agriculture Department says North
Dakota’s potato crop dropped 14 percent in 2011 from the previous
year.
The state’s potato crop totaled 18.9 million hundredweight in
2011.
North Dakota’s production accounts for more than 4 percent of
the nation’s total.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Programs in Minot to rehab or reconstruct
flood-damaged properties are focusing on elderly and disabled
people who are still living in temporary housing provided by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The city has $14 million in federal disaster recovery grant
money for the two housing programs.
City Finance Director Cindy Hemphill says it’s impossible to get everyone impacted by the 2011 Souris River flood back into a home with that amount of money, so the city decided to target the people who need help the most.
The two housing programs are designed to help about 140
low-to-moderate-income residents.
Those who qualify might be eligible for up to $60,000 for rehab projects and $150,000 for reconstruction.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Dickinson State University officials say
the school has lost about 500 students since last fall.
Preliminary figures show there were 1,837 students enroll this fall. That’s
down from 2,346 last fall.
There are 148 foreign students enrolled this fall, compared with
352 last year.
The declining enrollment comes in the wake of state audit
earlier this year showed Dickinson State had given diplomas to
hundreds of foreign students who didn’t earn them.
DSU President D.C. Coston says the school is committed to doing
things right.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Endangered whooping cranes will be passing
through North Dakota during their fall migration over the next few
weeks, and wildlife officials are looking for the public’s help.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is asking anyone who
spots a whooper to report the sightings so the birds can be
tracked.
The birds stand about 5 feet tall and have a wingspan of about 7
feet. They are bright white with black wing tips.
In flight they extend their long necks straight forward and their legs extend out behind them.
They usually fly alone or in small groups, sometimes with sandhill cranes.
Sightings can be reported to Game and Fish or the agency’s local
game wardens around the state, or to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.
In sports…
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The former manager of North Dakota boxer
Virgil Hill says he’s trying to convince the fighter not to get
back in the ring.
Bill Sorensen says he doesn’t think it’s a good idea for the former world champion to fight again at age 48.
Hill hasn’t fought in almost five years. He’s resumed training in Los Angeles. He says once he passes a physical, he’ll be readyto go.
Sorenson says he has some potential opportunities for Hill. He also says he plans to have another talk with him about staying
retired. But he isn’t optimistic.
Hill is 50-7 in his career, which began in 1984. His last
victory came over Valery Brudov in 2006.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
CLEVELAND (AP) – Casey Kotchman’s walkoff single in the 10th inning gave the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins yesterday. Kotchman also hit a run-scoring single in the fourth for Cleveland. Trevor Plouffe belted a solo homer for the Twins.
Streaking Ichiro Suzuki (EE’-cheer-oh soo-ZOO’-kee) hit a
go-ahead, two-run double in a seven-run fourth inning capped by
Nick Swisher’s grand slam, and the New York Yankees beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 10-7.
That gives the Yanks a one-game AL East lead over idle Baltimore.

Brown got the start in place of Ahmad Bradshaw, who sat out with a neck injury.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL…
BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Boise State usually doesn’t play low-scoring
games, especially on their distinctive blue turf at home.
But the 24th-ranked Broncos escaped with a 7-6 win over turnover-prone BYU.

by lineman Michael Atkinson, a nose tackle.

LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN…
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) – The real-life inspirations for the film
“A League of Their Own” are taking a trip to the National
Baseball Hall of Fame as part of their reunion being held in
central New York.
The former players in the All-American Girls Professional
Baseball League will be in Cooperstown toay to sign autographs.
The women, now in their 70s and 80s, have scheduled an exhibition
softball game at Alliance Bank Stadium in Syracuse on Saturday.
The league was formed during World War II as many minor league
and major league players were entering the armed services.
It was disbanded in the early 1950s.
Their story was told in the 1992 film starring Tom Hanks, Geena
Davis, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The presidential campaign for battleground
states remains in high gear with Republican Mitt Romney heading to
Nevada, trying to paint himself as a candidate of change.
He’s seized on a comment by President Barack Obama that Washington can’t
be changed from the inside.
Obama will be in the key state of Virginia today for a rally and to address the AARP convention by satellite.
HONG KONG (AP) – It’s become a ritual every time Apple

It’s been no different today in Asia and Europe as the iPhone 5 goes on sale.
The scene is expected to be repeated this morning in North America.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) – The backlash over an anti-Islam film
produced in the U.S. is unabated.
One man was killed when Pakistani police opened fire on rioters who were torching a cinema.
Some Muslim clerics in Uganda have also called for protests.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – New oil drilling off Alaska’s north

Dutch Shell approval for limited site work in the Beaufort Sea.
The company can’t drill into petroleum zones until its spill response

The company hopes to tap into an estimated 26
billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of
natural gas in U.S. Arctic waters.
