GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A man stopped in North Dakota because
police thought he was a suspect in a North Carolina attempted
murder turned out to simply share one of the wanted man’s names.
U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Pigg says the detained man “was all
clear.” The man had the same name as an alias used by the North
Carolina suspect.
The detained man, who was driving a light blue van, crossed into
North Dakota at the U.S. border crossing at Pembina, N.D.,
prompting law enforcement to intercept. He was not identified.
Dozens of vehicles were backed up in the southbound lanes on
Interstate 29 shortly after 11 a.m.

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota attorney general’s
office will not press charges against Stark County Sheriff Clarence
Tuhy (TOO’-ee) for an alleged theft from a nonprofit that accepts
donations for the needy.
Tuhy has said the incident was an “honest mistake.” The state
Bureau of Criminal Investigation says in a letter that the matter
does not warrant prosecution.
Tuhy is under fire for allegedly being ineffective at his job
and creating a toxic environment for workers in his office. A July
24 hearing is scheduled on the County Commission’s request to have
the governor remove him from office.
Tuhy has declined comment. He said in a report the county filed
with the governor’s office that he can be tough but that he also is
fair.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Republican U.S. House candidate Kevin Cramer has almost caught up to Democratic rival Pam Gulleson in their campaign fundraising race.
Cramer’s campaign finance disclosure report shows he raised $276,000 in the last month. Since Cramer started his campaign last year, he’s collected almost $600,000 in donations.
Gulleson’s Federal Election Commission report shows she raised about $123,000 during the last month. Her campaign has raised about $630,000 since it began.
Gulleson has almost $380,000 in her campaign treasury now, while Cramer has about $273,000.
Cramer defeated Brian Kalk last month in the North Dakota Republican primary for the party’s nomination to run for the U.S. House.
Cramer says he’s been focusing since then on raising money to lessen Gulleson’s fundraising advantage. Gulleson did not have a Democratic primary challenger.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A North Carolina-based company wants to
build housing in Grand Forks that would be marketed to University
of North Dakota students.
Campus Crest Communities of North Carolina proposes 12
three-story buildings that could house 600 tenants, just north of
the Alerus Center and southwest of the UND campus.
City planners have recommended the City Council give zoning approval for
the project.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A proposed budget for North Dakota’s
colleges includes $10 million to help ease the impact of oil
development in Williston and Dickinson.
The presidents of Williston State College and Dickinson State
University say the oil boom in western North Dakota is making it
tougher to find and keep employees.
They say student housing is short and there are some security
concerns because of the influx of new workers.
The Legislature will have to decide whether to provide the
money. Williston State President Ray Nadolny says it would be “a
great start” for easing the campus impacts of oil development. He
says he’d like to see more campus housing.
Dickinson State President D.C. Coston says the money could help
raise wages and provide security improvements.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The new chancellor of North Dakota’s
university system says he needs to double his office staff to
provide oversight for the state’s public colleges.
Ham Shirvani says the system’s central office staff now has 26
employees. The Board of Higher Education supports his effort to add
30 new workers.
Shirvani says they would include attorneys, finance and
personnel specialists and people to make sure university system
policies are being followed.
Shirvani says the lack of central oversight has caused problems
with inconsistent policies among North Dakota campuses.
He says Dickinson State’s recent problems with a special
academic program for Chinese students could have been avoided with
better supervision.

In sports…

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Retired Minnesota Viking Jim
Kleinsasser (KLYN’-sahs-ur) headlines this year’s class of
inductees into the University of North Dakota Letterwinners
Athletics Hall of Fame.
Kleinsasser spent all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Vikings
after being a second-round draft pick out of UND in 1999. He
appeared in more games than any tight end in Vikings history. He
retired after last season.
The Carrington native was a two-time NCAA Division II All
America tight end while at UND in the late 1990s.
The 2012 class also includes John Christen, a tennis and
wrestling standout in the 1980s, and Louise Ronnerman, a cross
country and track star in the 1990s. UND’s 1997 NCAA Division I
champion men’s hockey team also is being inducted. The ceremony is
Sept. 29.

In world and national news….

WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s a milestone in the 30-year battle against
the virus that causes AIDS. The Food and Drug Administration has
approved the first drug shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection.
The pill, called Truvada, is a preventive measure for people who
are at high risk of acquiring HIV, such as those who have sex with
infected partners.

CAIRO (AP) – After weeks in a military hospital, ousted Egyptian
leader Hosni Mubarak has been returned to prison. A prosecutor says
Mubarak’s health has improved from several weeks ago, when he was
reported to be on the brink of death. But others in Egypt see the
move as a response to the belief that officials who were
sympathetic to Mubarak were exaggerating his health crisis to give
him a more comfortable imprisonment.

EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) – Two American tourists have been freed
unharmed by their kidnappers in Egypt, along with their Egyptian
guide. The kidnapper says he turned the three over to security
officials after he was promised that authorities were working on
the release of his uncle. He’d been detained by Egyptian
authorities on suspicion of drug possession.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Authorities in Iowa say they’ve
uncovered no significant evidence in the search for two missing
girls, three days after their bicycles and a purse were found near
a lake. Eight-year-old Elizabeth Collins and her 10-year-old
cousin, Lyric Cook-Morrissey, have been missing since leaving their
grandmother’s house Friday afternoon. A sheriff’s deputy says
authorities have been doing house-to-house searches around the
clock. He says it’s still considered a missing persons case.

MIAMI (AP) – The author of the “Encyclopedia Brown” series of
children’s mysteries has died. Donald J. Sobol was 87. His series
featured amateur sleuth Leroy “Encyclopedia” Brown, who would
unravel local mysteries with the help of his vast knowledge of
facts great and small. The books, which were first published in the
1960s, became fixtures in classrooms and libraries nationwide and
around the world.
