BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple is defending his decision to pay nearly $100,000 as retention bonuses to five members of his staff.
Dalrymple announced in August that he won’t seek re-election in 2016. He tells The Associated Press that the bonuses were paid to keep key people in his administration “who are important to the process in governing the state of North Dakota.”
Democrats are questioning the bonuses, which were first reported by KFGO-AM radio on Monday after an open records request.
Democratic House Minority Leader Kenton Onstad says the bonuses to the governor’s staff “just doesn’t smell right.”
Onstad says the state’s program of paying recruiting and retention bonuses is important for hard-to-fill jobs in the state’s oil patch. But he questions if that’s the case in the governor’s office.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A man shot six times by a university police officer in Grand Forks following a chase has pleaded guilty to charges.
Forty-two-year-old David Elliott earlier pleaded not guilty to felony reckless endangerment and misdemeanor fleeing. The changed his plea Monday.
University of North Dakota Police Officer Jared Braaten on Feb. 28 shot Elliott in a parking lot where authorities said Elliott had stopped after leading officers on a chase. Elliott was treated at a Minneapolis hospital and recovered. He said in court Monday that he didn’t remember the incident.
Elliott could face up to 11 years in prison, though his plea agreement with prosecutors calls for a sentence of four months in jail. A judge must agree at sentencing, which is set for Feb. 1.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – A North Dakota man who earlier pleaded guilty in a murder-for-hire plot that left two people dead has withdrawn his guilty plea in the wake of a certain life sentence.
Federal prosecutors plan to file a motion that would enable a lesser sentence, one that James Henrikson already agreed to when pleading guilty in September to ordering the murders of Kristopher Clarke and Spokane businessman Doug Carlile.
The Spokesman-Review reports that Henrikson and two other defendants had a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Salvador Mendoza on Tuesday in Spokane.
Mendoza ruled last week the three defendants faced a minimum sentence of life in prison based on the severity of the charges against them.
Henrikson, charged with ordering the deaths of Clarke and Carlile, chose to withdraw his plea.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Rain over the past week has slowed the harvests of corn and sunflowers in North Dakota, though both remain ahead of the average pace.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that 70 percent of the sunflowers are harvested, compared with the average of 56 percent. And the corn harvest is 83 percent complete, well ahead of the 69 percent average.
North Dakota’s winter wheat crop is rated 71 percent in good to excellent condition. Nearly all of the crop has emerged. Winter wheat is seeded and emerges in the fall, goes dormant over winter, begins growing again in the spring and is harvested in the summer.
Pasture and range conditions statewide are rated 43 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 79 percent adequate to surplus.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The latest edition of North Dakota’s Blue Book has been released.
The publication includes statistical and historical information about North Dakota. The 2015-17 edition was unveiled Monday during the state’s 126th birthday. It has 582 pages.
The Blue Book is so named because of the dark blue cover that adorns most editions. It has been published sporadically throughout state history. The first editions were called the “state manual” and the “legislative manual.”
Since 1995, the Blue Book has been published every two years with the help of volunteers.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The Minot Daily News has a new editor.
Forty-six-year-old Michael Sasser is an Oklahoma native who has traveled extensively during his journalism career and written several travel books.
Sasser most recently was doing contract work for a variety of publications from Florida, including serving as editor of the Sun Post in Miami Beach. His first day in Minot was Monday.
Previous Minot Daily News Editor David Rupkalvis left in May for a newspaper in Tucson, Arizona.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – The school board in Mandan has decided to hold off on adding three new bus routes that could ease congestion.
The school district only received one bid for the contract. It came from Harlow’s, which provides busing for Bismarck Public Schools, and would have cost the district more than $330 per day for each of the three buses.
Superintendent Mike Bitz says the district is “getting by for now.” He says the transportation department has made changes to accommodate the increasing demand for school busing.
Mandan Public Schools operates its own busing service, providing transportation to 2,300 students.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Hunting- and fishing-related violations have increased dramatically in the heart of the western North Dakota oil patch.
Game and Fish Department data show that in 2009, there were 123 citations issued in McKenzie and Williams counties. Last year, there were 589.
The population in the region has soared as people from around the country flock there in search of jobs. But game warden chief Robert Timian says that’s not necessarily the only reason for the increase in violations.
There’s been a dramatic decline in the number of deer licenses available to hunters, due to recent harsh winters. Available licenses are at their lowest level in nearly 40 years – meaning tens of thousands of deer hunters can’t legally take to the field.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is seeking the public’s help in cracking several wildlife poaching cases over the past couple of months in the western oil patch.
Officials say half a dozen incidents have occurred in the Williston and Watford City areas. They involve the illegal killing of eight deer and two pronghorn. Authorities don’t believe the cases are related.
Charges are pending against one person in one of the pronghorn cases. Game and Fish is asking anyone with information on the other cases to call the Report All Poachers telephone number at 800-472-2121, or contact District Game Warden Kennan Snyder at 701-770-1072.
RAP is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any of the people responsible.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The National Collegiate Hockey Conference has suspended North Dakota’s senior forward Drake Caggiula (kah-JOO’-luh) for one game, citing an illegal hit during Saturday’s game at Colorado College.
The league says Caggiula was suspended after the review of a play in which “a hit was delivered to the head” of a Colorado College player during the second period of the game at The Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs.
Caggiula will be required to serve the suspension during North Dakota’s game Friday against Wisconsin. North Dakota’s spokesman didn’t immediately return phone messages seeking comment on the suspension Tuesday.
Caggiula, a senior forward from Whitby, Ontario, leads the team in assists, points, penalties and penalty minutes this season. He has two goals and seven assists in eight games.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State University football team has moved up again in both national polls after beating Southern Illinois 35-29 on the road Saturday.
The Bison moved up one spot to No. 6 in the STATS media poll and up one spot to a tie with McNeese State for No. 5 in the coaches poll.
Jacksonville State is atop both polls, followed by Illinois State, Chattanooga and Eastern Washington. Richmond is No. 5 in the STATS poll.
NDSU hosts Western Illinois in the Harvest Bowl game at the Fargodome this Saturday. Bison players will wear an alternate helmet that’s green rather than yellow. The helmet will have the traditional Bison logo, along with a head of wheat as a center stripe.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City has turned blue today, as Royals fans lined up to watch the World Series championship team parade. Highways leading into the city were packed, and city streets are also jammed. One man who says he couldn’t attend the parade in 1985 — the last time the Royals won the World Series — said he was determined not to miss this one. And Steve Templeton made sure his 8-year-old son was there to share the experience.
In world and national news…
TORONTO (AP) – The company behind the Keystone XL pipeline project is denying that it’s trying to put off consideration of the project until President Barack Obama is out of office. The company has asked that the U.S. government put on hold its review of the project — but TransCanada says that’s only so that it has some time to work out the route the pipeline would take through Nebraska on its way from Canada to Texas. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest says the request “seems unusual.” It comes amid speculation that Obama will reject the pipeline. Republican presidential candidates say they’d approve it.
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) – Thousands of people have been marching through the Romanian capital to protest against the government following a weekend fire in a Bucharest nightclub that left at least 32 dead. Anger has been brewing for some time in Romania against the government, which many perceive as being corrupt, and Friday’s fire has added to the discontent. The protesters are demanding that authorities punish people who are found responsible for the blaze, the deadliest of its kind in the country’s history.
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) – For the first time since the 1949 split between China and Taiwan, their presidents are going to meet. A spokesman in Taiwan says the meeting will take place in Singapore on Saturday. He says it’s aimed at strengthening peace across the Taiwan Strait, and that there will be no signing of any agreements.
SEATTLE (AP) – Washington state health officials have identified the specific microorganism responsible for the E. coli outbreak tied to Chipotle restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. They say that will help determine the exact source of the illness. Food from six Chipotle stores connected with the outbreak is being tested. Officials have asked Chipotle to turn over information about its food suppliers so officials can determine where the products came from.
