VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – Officials in Valley City are considering measures that would restrict the sales of e-cigarettes in the city.
The ordinances could ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors as well as the self-service sales of e-cigarettes. They would also require local licensing for sellers of e-cigarettes.
Members of the City County Board of Health say they want an ordinance that would not allow flavored e-cigarettes, in liquid nicotine or any other form, to be sold to anyone in Valley City.
Tobacco prevention coordinator Vicki Roseneau says “flavors are aimed at enticing youth to buy” e-cigarettes.
Thirteen businesses currently sell tobacco products in Valley City.

Sadek went missing from the State College of Science in Wahpeton in early May 2014. His body was found in the Red River in late June. An autopsy concluded he died of a gunshot wound to the head. His death is still being investigated.
Mother Tammy Sadek says she questions whether her son was pressured into working for the task force. She believes her son was murdered.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The House Education Committee is slated to hear testimony on a bill that would require North Dakota to scrub Common Core education standards for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Rep. Jim Kasper, R-Fargo, is pushing the legislation that will be debated on Monday.
Common Core outlines what skills students in kindergarten through 12th grade should learn to be ready for college and careers upon graduation. Common Core replaces standards that varied state-to-state.
North Dakota adopted Common Core standards in 2011, and began to fully implement them during the current school year. Assessments based on the new standards will start for all students this spring.
Common Core has been adopted in dozens of other states.
Kasper and other critics contend Common Core represents a federal takeover of education.

She says the 64-year-old man gets sick from taking prescription drugs for pain.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says 23 states have laws allowing medical marijuana.
Anderson says the public is becoming more accepting of allowing the use of medical marijuana. But she’s not too sure about the state Legislature.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A monthly business survey suggests only modest economic growth is likely in nine Midwestern and Plains states this spring because the agriculture and energy sectors are slowing.
The report released Monday says the overall economic index for the region improved slightly to 54.8 in January from December’s 54.4.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, says growth for companies outside of energy and agriculture should offset the declines in those sectors.
The survey results from supply managers are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.
The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The new chair of the North Dakota Board of Higher Education hopes to mend fences after the resignation of his predecessor.
Retired public schools administrator Terry Hjelmstad is taking over for Kirsten Diederich. Diederich resigned after some lawmakers threatened to block her confirmation for a second term.
Hjelmstad will be at the helm until June, when his term expires. The lifelong North Dakotan, who lives in Phoenix during the winter, brings a light-hearted style.
Hjelmstad and others believe Diederich took the fall for a board that has been at odds with legislators for a decade over rising tuition costs and administrative accountability.
In his last few months on the board, Hjelmstad hopes to get the system through two major issues: the higher education budget bill and finding a new chancellor.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Members of the public are being asked to provide input on historic preservation goals and activities in North Dakota for the five-year period starting in January 2016.

Officials say a periodic update of a state’s comprehensive historic preservation plan is a federal requirement for participation in the National Historic Preservation Program. The program makes money available to states for various history-related efforts.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – People who want to comment on proposed new rules dealing with the disposal of radioactive oilfield waste now have more time.
North Dakota’s Health Department has extended the comment period to March 2.
Health officials are proposing to allow elevated levels of oilfield radioactive waste to be dumped at some North Dakota landfills. Environmental Health Chief Dave Glatt (glaht) has said the proposed standard is still safe for humans and the environment.
North Dakota generates up to 75 tons of radioactive waste daily, largely from so-called oil filter socks that strain liquids during the oil production process.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) – Don’t hate Phil, he’s just the messenger. Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, delivered the weather forecast shortly before 7:30 Eastern Time this morning, predicting six more weeks of winter. His handlers say the furry rodent saw his shadow. German legend is that if the groundhog does not see its shadow, spring comes early.
BOSTON (AP) – Another winter storm for the Northeast this morning. Snow that left 1 1/2 feet of snow in the Chicago area and blanketed much of the Plains and Midwest, moved slowly eastward overnight through the Ohio Valley into Pennsylvania and western New York state. Then it went into New England. More than 2,300 flights have been canceled for today, about a-seventh of them at Boston’s Logan airport. Boston could get up to 16 inches of snow and Albany, New York, up to 14.
TOKYO (AP) – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh ah-bay) is defending his policy toward terrorism, following the beheading of a Japanese journalist at the hands of the Islamic State group. Some Japanese lawmakers have questioned Abe’s announcement of $200 million in non-military aid for the fight against the Islamic State group, made just days before militants demanded a $200 million ransom for two hostages. Abe said today, “The terrorists are criminals.” He says, “We are determined to pursue them and hold them accountable.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – Government and aviation industry officials from dozens of countries are meeting in Montreal this week to talk about how to keep from losing airliners like the one that vanished without a trace in Asia and another shot down in eastern Ukraine. It is only the second high-level safety conference in the 70-year history of the U.N. agency, the International Civil Aviation Organization.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – The former Korean Air executive on trial for having an inflight tantrum over macadamia nuts, says she flipped out as a result of being devoted to her work. Cho Hyun-ah told a court in Seoul today that her behavior was “wrong” but that she still believes the cabin crew in first-class did not follow proper procedures when she was served macadamia nuts in a bag instead of on a dish. Cho, who’s also the daughter of Korean Air’s chairman, has pleaded not guilty to charges of violating aviation safety law.
