RAY, N.D. (AP) – The Ray High School Student Council is asking people to wear lime green during this weekend’s district boys’ basketball tournament in Tioga in memory of three players who died in a crash on U.S. Highway 2 in Williams County.
The Highway Patrol says the two 17-year-old boys and an 18-year-old were in a westbound pickup truck that left the icy highway Monday night, crossed the median and entered the eastbound lanes, where it collided with a semitrailer. Authorities did not immediately release their names.
Ray School Superintendent Benjamin Schafer issued a statement saying, “our school will not be whole without them.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Burleigh County murder suspect and his public defender both want the attorney taken off the case.
Christopher Vick has pleaded not guilty to murder in the May 2013 death of his 62-year-old mother, Alice Vick.
Vick told Judge Bruce Romanick Tuesday that he doesn’t have proper access to his attorney and that public defender Kerry Rosenquist isn’t meeting his requests.
Rosenquist is Vick’s second public defender. Romanick said he made a mistake in letting the first attorney go. He chastised Vick for not listening to attorneys and told him to stick with Rosenquist or represent himself. Vick opted to continue being represented.
Rosenquist, meanwhile, wants to be removed from the case, saying Vick’s requests are “beyond the bounds of reality.” Romanick didn’t immediately rule.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A bill that Red River diversion supporters labeled as a roadblock to the Fargo flood protection project had a short shelf life.
The North Dakota Senate on Wednesday brought back the measure that was passed Tuesday by a 24-21 vote and this time rejected it on a 28-19 count.
The proposal by Fairmount Sen. Larry Luick focused on cemeteries that are located in a staging area for the diversion that would hold back water in times of serious flooding. He said the bill is meant to protect the 3,300 gravesites and not derail the nearly $2 billion project.
Sen. Lonnie Laffen, of Grand Forks, told lawmakers it would be “absurd” to jeopardize flood protection for 100,000 people and said there are gravesites in the Fargo area that would be protected.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Senate has approved legislation to provide state funding to expand early childhood education.
The Senate voted 33-14 on Wednesday to send the measure to the House.
The legislation sets aside $6 million for the 2016-17 school year. The funding is expected to cover about half the cost of pre-kindergarten education for about 6,000 children, or about $1,000 per student.
About $1,500 would be available per child from low-income households.
The program would be voluntary.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers have rejected a bill that would have allowed a museum to stay on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds in Minot.
The Senate has voted 28-18 to reject the measure that would have allowed the Ward County Historical Society to keep its Pioneer Village on the fairgrounds.
The village has a schoolhouse, log cabin, train depot, general store, post office, blacksmith shop and church, among other structures. The State Fair Association wants the museum off the grounds so it can use the property for other purposes.
The historical society believes a 49-year-old contract gives it the right to remain on the land.
The battle also is being fought in the courts, with both sides asking a judge to rule in its favor.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man who leads a successful North Dakota-based brick company has donated $5 million to the School of Business at Minnesota State University Moorhead.
Most of the donation from Rodney Paseka and his wife, Carolyn, will go toward scholarships for business students. The rest will go for a variety of uses, including research, program development and faculty positions. The university is naming the business school in honor of the Pasekas.
Rodney Paseka is co-owner and CEO of Fargo, North Dakota-based Hebron Brick Co. The century-old company distributes brick in 40 states and in Canada. It has seven retail centers in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.
Both Pasekas attended the Moorhead university.

In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) – A federal prosecutor in New York says the flow of foreign fighters into Syria is an “evolving threat” to the U.S. and its allies. Loretta Lynch — who’s President Barack Obama’s choice to be attorney general — was talking about the arrests of three men who are charged with plotting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group — and to wage war against the U.S. One is in custody in Florida, and the other two are held in New York.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate’s top Democrat, Harry Reid, says every senator in his party will vote in favor of a measure to fund the Homeland Security Department, once it is stripped of provisions overturning President Barack Obama’s actions on immigration. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has proposed a stand-alone funding bill as a way of breaking a deadlock. But it’s not clear what the House will do. Funding for Homeland Security runs out tomorrow.
WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans have been challenging Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen Wednesday over what they say is a lack of accountability from the central bank. After Yellen gave her semi-annual economic report, Republican lawmakers questioned her opposition to a measure that would expand the ability of Congress to audit the operations of the Fed. And they accused her of being unduly influenced by Democrats. Yellen is defending the Fed’s independence.
PHOENIX (AP) – The case of convicted murderer Jodi Arias has gone to an Arizona jury that will decide if she is sentenced to death or life in prison for killing her boyfriend. The jury got the case after a defense lawyer made his final plea for mercy. Arias was convicted in 2013 of killing Travis Alexander. That jury, however, deadlocked on her punishment, prompting a penalty retrial.
ETNA, Maine (AP) – A woman who was in one of the dozens of vehicles that crashed today in Maine says a logging truck came dangerously close to hitting her, before spinning off into a ditch. More than 40 vehicles were involved in a series of crashes on a snowy stretch of Interstate 95. At least 17 people were hurt — some seriously — but no fatalities have been reported.
