 CANDO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a man
and woman from Belcourt were killed Tuesday after their car
collided with a semi-truck about 13 miles west of Cando.
     The patrol says the 24-year-old man was driving the car east on
North Dakota Highway 17 about 9 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a
curve and struck the rear tires of the semi-truck with an empty hay
rack trailer.
     The car rotated and entered the south ditch coming to rest on
its wheels on the shoulder, killing the driver and a 19-year-old
female passenger.

Another 19-year-old female passenger was flown to Trinity Hospital in Minot.
     The truck driver was not injured.
     No names were released. The accident is under investigation.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo grocery store employee who was shot
twice during a robbery is being released from the hospital.
    Josh Kleckner and another employee were inside Sunmart Foods at closing time around 11 p.m. Sunday when the gunman entered, approached Kleckner and made demands.
     Kleckner was shot when he struggled with the suspect.
     Police say Kleckner is in satisfactory condition and is being
released from Sanford Medical Center on Tuesday.

     The investigation is continuing.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple is
outlining plans to deal with new estimates of the state’s rapid
growth.
     A new housing study predicts North Dakota’s population will grow
to 840,000 people by 2025. That’s a 25 percent increase.

     There could be demand for 6,000 new housing units each year for
the next 15 years. That’s the equivalent of adding the city of
Grafton every year.
     Dalrymple spoke Tuesday to a housing forum in Bismarck. He says
he’ll propose increasing state subsidies to promote affordable
housing development.

He wants more state grants to help cities
build sewer and water systems and other public works.
     North Dakota Housing Finance Agency director Mike Anderson says
the study provides crucial information about the state’s housing
needs during the next decade.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Democratic candidate for
the state Public Service Commission says the agency should do much
more to promote energy conservation.
     Brad Crabtree says demand for electricity is growing. And he
says building new power plants is expensive for consumers, because
it drives rates up.
     Crabtree says the commission needs to give utilities incentives
to encourage their customers to save energy.
     He says power companies don’t have a reason to promote
conservation now, because it means less revenue for them.

     Crabtree is also advocating a state loan fund to encourage
energy efficiency.
     He held a news conference in Grand Forks to outline his
proposals.
     Crabtree is running against Republican Randy Christmann for the
Public Service Commission. It’s a three-member board that regulates
utilities.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Morton County Park Director Vern Davis has
resigned, saying he can’t keep up with the skills needed for the
job.
     Davis says he lacks the computer skills needed to fulfill his duties. He says
managing the 15 parks in the district is becoming more complex.

He says someone younger will be more able to meet the challenges.
     The 72-year-old says he felt like he wasn’t “earning my keep.”
     Davis served as the part-time county park director for 12 years
and was a high school biology teacher for 35 years before that.
     
     
     BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s top oil regulator says he’s
excited about the prospect of having more petroleum geologists
trained in the state.
     Continental Resources Inc. and its chairman, Harold Hamm, are
donating $10 million to set up a new geology school at UND. The
program expects to graduate 50 petroleum geologists and engineers
each year.
     State Department of Mineral Resources director Lynn Helms says
North Dakota college students now have to go out of state to get
the kind of training they’ll now be able to get at UND.
     Helms says the industry’s growth in North Dakota should provide
a lot of high-paying professional jobs.

 

MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – A Medora teen who has the bizarre ability to
whistle through her eye socket may be getting a national audience.
 
16-year-old Ashley Ellison has a chance to be broadcast nationwide
as part of “stupid human tricks” on Tuesday night’s “Late Show
with David Letterman.”
     The Belfield High School junior will be one of six performers in
the segment, but only three will make the cut to the national
broadcast.
     The show paid for Ashley and one parent to travel to New York.
They bought a third ticket so the whole family could go.
     Her parents sent a video to the show last spring touting
Ashley’s unique whistling ability.

 

In world and national news…

 

 UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Although President Barack Obama says
there’s “still time and space” to resolve the dispute over Iran’s
nuclear program, he says “that time is not unlimited.

Speaking Tuesday to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama also condemned the
anti-Muslim video that has brought violent protests in the Middle
East and elsewhere — but he called on leaders to “speak out
forcefully against violence and extremism.”

 
     
     DAYTON, Ohio (AP) – Mitt Romney is joining running mate Paul
Ryan in Ohio this afternoon for two days of campaign events.

 The trip comes as a new Washington Post poll finds President Barack
Obama leading Romney, 52 percent to 44 percent, among likely voters
who were surveyed in the battleground state.
     
     ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) – The White House says President
Barack Obama believes that a disputed end to the Green Bay
Packers-Seattle Seahawks football game means it is time to resolve
a labor dispute and get regular referees back to officiating NFL
games.

Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force
One that the president, an avid sports fan, watched the game and
“thinks there was a real problem with that call.

 Green Bay is in politically important Wisconsin, adding significance to Obama’s stance.
     
     NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks gave  up their early gains in Tuesday
afternoon trading.

They got a boost from this morning’s encouraging economic reports. Housing prices rose in major cities for a third straight month, and a measure of consumer confidence came in surprisingly high.
     
     MOSCOW (AP) – A drunken-driving tragedy in Moscow over the
weekend may finally be prompting Russia to crack down on driving
while intoxicated.

Five orphaned teens were waiting for a bus with
their guardians on Saturday when a car careened into them, killing
all seven.

It turned out that the driver was heavily drunk, and that he’d had a series of traffic violations — including a DUI arrest two years ago.

Russia’s prime minister and lawmakers have reacted with proposals to stiffen penalties on drunken drivers.
