BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of being drunk while driving a Bismarck school bus has quit his driving job.
 
     School Superintendent Tamara Uselman says  Thomas Griak resigned last Thursday in the face of being fired. He initially had been placed on leave without pay.
 
     The 41-year-old Lincoln man has been charged with driving a commercial vehicle under the influence, a misdemeanor.

He is scheduled to appear in city court on Oct. 18. A telephone listing for him could not immediately be found.
 
     Griak was arrested on Oct. 3 after a worried parent called authorities and they administered a breath test.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – One of two Fargo men accused of burglarizing
home construction sites has been sentenced to five years in prison
after pleading guilty to more than 20 counts of conspiracy.

35-year-old Jason Leines also must serve five years of supervised
probation and pay restitution to be determined later.
     Prosecutors allege that Leines and Jeremy Tibiatowski stole
equipment worth more than $10,000, mostly from home construction
sites in Fargo, West Fargo, Argusville and Kindred. Tibiatowski has
pleaded not guilty.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A woman accused of stealing money while
serving as treasurer of a Fargo roller derby team has been
sentenced to 25 days in jail and ordered to repay $10,000.

     The sentence handed down by Judge John Irby on Monday was
harsher than what attorneys had requested. The joint sentencing
recommendation had been for restitution and credit for 10 days that
Louise Jauss had served on electronic home monitoring.
     Irby said he didn’t feel that sentence would be sufficient. His
order also means the felony theft conviction will stay on Jauss’
record. Her attorney is considering whether to try to withdraw her
guilty plea.
     The amount of money Jauss actually stole isn’t known. The group
initially accused her of taking about $21,000. A private auditor
uncovered about $13,000 in unauthorized transactions.

     Cutting was fired at UTTC in early September. Two employees
later reported finding inappropriate photographs on a computer
Cutting had used.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Rain and snow that moved into North Dakota last week slowed fieldwork but has also replenished topsoil moisture in many areas.
 
     The U.S. Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop, livestock and weather report that harvest of the state’s late season crops was already seeing good progress before the moisture moved in.
 
     The corn harvest advanced 27 percentage points to 63 percent complete, ahead of both last year’s pace and the five-year average. The sugar beet harvest at 37 percent is outpacing last year’s but slightly behind the average.
 
     Pasture and range conditions are rated 37 percent very poor, 29 percent poor, 27 percent fair and 7 percent good.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – John Deere Electronic Solutions in Fargo has

Affiliated Tribes deserves a greater share of the taxes collected
from reservation oil production.
     But they’re not willing to endorse a tribal proposal to increase
their tax share. The tribe and state now split the money evenly.
The tribe wants to boost its share to 80 percent of the oil taxes
from tribal land.
     The Legislature’s Tribal and State Relations Committee reviewed
the idea. Lansford Sen. David O’Connell is the committee’s
chairman. He says the panel didn’t approve the 80 percent split,
but he’s expecting the Legislature will see the proposal next year.
     Fargo Rep. Jim Kasper says the tribe should get a bigger share
of the reservation’s oil tax money, but he says the entire
Legislature needs to debate the question.

 In world and national news…

  ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) – Extreme athlete and skydiver Felix
Baumgartner has canceled his planned death-defying 23-mile free
fall into the New Mexico desert because of high winds.
     The 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria had
hoped to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier and
shatter three other world records.
     But the weather on Tuesday forced his team to cancel his planned
ascent in a 55-story, ultra-thin helium balloon that was to take
him to the stratosphere.
     Because the balloon is so delicate, it could only take flight if
winds were 2 mph or below.

meningitis outbreak has now reached 119 cases, including 11 deaths.

children and abused their trust, a Pennsylvania judge Tuesday
sentenced the 68-year-old former football coach to at least 30
years in prison for sexually abusing 10 boys.

At his sentencing hearing today, a defiant Sandusky gave a rambling statement in which he denied the allegations, saying among other things that he had “forgiven” and “been forgiven.”

Three victims also spoke, one telling Sandusky that he left him with “deep painful wounds.”
     
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal investigators have charged 530 people
with allegedly defrauding homeowners who had fallen behind on
mortgage payments and feared foreclosure.

The Justice Department says more than 73,000 homeowners lost more than $1 billion in the fraud schemes.

According to court records, the struggling homeowners would pay substantial fees with promises that so-called investors would purchase the victims’ mortgages.

Others were lured by phony promises that more favorable mortgage terms would be negotiated on their behalf.
     
     SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Democrats and Republicans are saying their
own campaign polling shows a swing back toward Mitt Romney.

The Republican challenger and President Barack Obama are heading to
Ohio, one of nine states that political analysts say are
still up for grabs.

The president is featuring the “Sesame Street” star in a new campaign ad mocking Romney’s vow to end federal funding for public broadcasting.
     
     JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel’s prime minister has ordered new
parliamentary elections for early next year.

coalition could not agree on a budget.

Polls suggest Netanyahu’s popularity is high right now, and he currently faces no serious challenger.
