BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Services for two North Dakota Army
National Guardsmen killed in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan
are pending, but Guard officials have named the funeral homes
handling arrangements.

     Sgt. 1st Class Darren Linde of Devils Lake and Spc. Tyler
Orgaard of Bismarck died Monday when an improvised explosive device
struck their vehicle. The remains of both soldiers are at Dover Air
Force Base.
     Orgaard’s funderal services will be conducted by Eastgate
Funeral Service in Bismarck. Linde’s services will be conducted by
Fulkerson Funeral Home in Sidney, Mont.
     Spc. Ian Charles Placek of Bismarck was wounded in the attack.
He’s being flown to Ft. Riley, Kan., for further medical treatment
and evaluation.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man who fled a traffic stop in
Fargo-Moorhead had to be rescued after he ran onto the partially
frozen Red River and fell through the ice.
     The chase early Friday began on the Minnesota side of the river
and crossed to the North Dakota side, where the man crashed his car
into a business and fled on foot.
     Police say the 26-year-old Colorado man broke through the ice
after venturing onto the river but was able to keep from slipping
under because the water was only waist-deep. Officers used a rope
to rescue him. They arrested him on several charges including a
drug count and took him to a hospital to be treated for exposure to
the icy water.

 

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Cases against two attempted murder suspects in southwestern North Dakota have gone in different directions.
 
23-year-old Michael Pope had the charge against him reduced to a misdemeanor. He pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and was given a suspended sentence.
 
     Pope was accused of shooting another man several times after an alcohol-fueled fight in Dickinson about a year ago. Stark County prosecutors say it might have been difficult to prove that Pope did not fire in self-defense.
 
     Fifty-year-old Kevin Gardner has been bound over for trial on an attempted murder charge in Adams County. He is accused of putting a loaded gun to a woman’s head last month in Hettinger and pulling the trigger. The gun did not fire.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A new $15 million clinic has opened in Fargo
to serve the area’s uninsured and underinsured.
     Officials scheduled an open house Friday at the Family
HealthCare Center, which saw its patient population swell from
6,600 to 12,000 in about five years. It’s the only federally
designated community health care center in North Dakota and western
Minnesota.
     The  new clinic has 33 exam rooms, more than triple the number in the old clinic. Space has more than doubled to 56,000 square feet. The clinic is expected to handle at least 40,000 patient visits in its first year.
     The project was paid for primarily through a $6.6 million
federal stimulus grant in 2009 and tax credits. The clinic still
needs $1 million and is seeking donations.

In world and national news…

 

LONDON (AP) – Two radio disc jockeys in Australia are going to be off the air for the time being — after the death of a woman in London who was a victim of one of their hoaxes. The two men telephoned a London hospital this week, pretending to be the queen and Prince Charles and asking about the condition of the Duchess of Cambridge. A tape of the call has been heard around the world. The hospital now says that a nurse who took the call, and who transferred it to the nurse caring for the duchess, was found dead Friday. Police found nothing suspicious, but it will be up to a coroner to say how she died.
 
     CAIRO (AP) – The unrest continues in Cairo, where tens of thousands of protesters have pushed past the barbed wire fences installed by the army, and marched on the presidential palace. They’re calling on President Mohammed Morsi to leave office. The area saw some deadly clashes Wednesday, when Morsi’s supporters drove out crowds that were camped outside the palace. At least six people died. Opponents say Morsi offered no concessions during a speech Thursday.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – It was just “more of the same.” That’s how House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) is describing his telephone chat this week with President Barack Obama. Boehner says there’s been no progress in the effort to avoid the automatic spending cuts and tax increases that are set to take effect next month.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – In the aftermath of his re-election, it appears that President Barack Obama’s popularity is on the rise. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds Obama with his highest approval ratings since the killing of Osama bin Laden. Fifty-seven percent of the people who were surveyed say they like the job he’s doing. And 42 percent say the country is on the right track. That’s a higher percentage than at any point since the start of Obama’s first term.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – In a reversal from four years ago, President Barack Obama will accept unlimited sums of corporate money to pay for his inauguration. A spokeswoman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee says it will accept cash from companies and individuals to underwrite the costs of a weekend of festivities surrounding his second inauguration next month. Money from lobbyists, political action committees or foreign donors will not be accepted.
