\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Several North Dakota college presidents have gotten much better job reviews since the departure of the state university system chancellor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hamid Shirvani released his evaluations to the presidents after the Board of Higher Education voted in June to buy out his contract over complaints about his management style.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board later said Shirvani did not follow proper procedure. It placed Shirvani on administrative leave and ordered interim chancellor Larry Skogen to update the evaluations. Six of the presidents approved the original drafts by Shirvani.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three other presidents who objected to Shirvani’s assessments got updated reviews that were mostly favorable. The review for North Dakota State University president Dean Bresciani (bruh-SHAW’-nee) was not immediately available.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem is slated to release a report on North Dakota’s crime rate.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The report is slated to be issued Tuesday and will provide statistics for a number of crimes, including murder, aggravated assault and rape that occurred in 2012. It includes burglary, car thefts and other types of property crimes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A 2011 report showed that crime was up in nearly every category except forcible rape.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A collision involving an Amtrak train and a bulldozer in northwestern North Dakota killed the driver of the bulldozer.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Highway Patrol did not immediately identify the 45-year-old Williston man.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Amtrak’s Empire Builder train was traveling from Seattle to Chicago with 326 passengers and crew when it collided with the bulldozer at a private crossing about 9 miles west of Trenton on Monday evening. No train passengers were hurt. Amtrak says two engineers were treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The patrol says there was significant damage to the lead locomotive of the train. The front wheels of the locomotive came off the tracks. The 13-car train continued on with the aid of two BNSF Railway freight locomotives, after a delay of more than 11 hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Traffic accidents in Williston fell dramatically in June compared to the same time a year ago. The Williston Herald reports officials in the northwestern North Dakota city have been emphasizing safety on the roads since oil patch traffic began to increase several years ago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A food pantry in the middle of the North Dakota oil patch was depleted to six cans of peas and four cans of carrots before the shelves were restocked for the weekend.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Salvation Army food shelf in Williston is the city’s main source for canned goods and nonperishable food items. It serves at least 20 families a week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The oil boom has quadrupled the amount of people who come to the food pantry for food. The center used to serve about 25 people a week. Now the food bank sees that many people in one day.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Salvation Army officials say they receive regular donations from large grocery stores in town, but they remain in need of donations to keep the shelves stocked.

\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Small grains in North Dakota have benefited from cool temperatures. The U.S. Agriculture Department says 93 percent of spring wheat has headed. That’s just short of the 95 percent average. Officials say the lack of moisture is starting to hurt all crops.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has selected six people to a new board that will help promote the state’s wine industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The grape and wine advisory committee will decide on grants for research and advertising. A bill in the 2013 Legislature set aside $80,000 to support the industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The committee is set up to include two grape producers, two winery owners, a representative of the North Dakota Grape and Wine Association, and a producer of fruit other than grapes for winemaking.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board members are Rodney Hogen of Buffalo, Ken Duppong of Glen Ullin, Mark Vining of Wheatland, Rick Ennen of Menoken, Allan Fuller of Bismarck, and Paul Anderson of Rutland.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fair General Manager Renae Korslien (KOHRS’-leen) says cooler-than-normal temperatures this year helped draw in more people.
\n\u00a0

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Missouri Valley Football conference has long been one of the deepest and most competitive leagues in the Championship Subdivision.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The two-time defending national champion Bison were a unanimous pick to win the league in a poll released Monday. NDSU, which returns 18 total starters for the squad that went 14-1 and trounced Sam Houston State in the national title game, got all 39 first-place votes from a collection of league coaches and media.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 South Dakota State was second, followed by Northern Iowa and Illinois State.<\/p>\n

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – Major League Baseball may try to suspend Alex Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would eliminate any chance of delaying a penalty until after the case goes to an arbitrator, The Associated Press has learned.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The rehabbing Yankees third baseman has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a first offender under baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players’ association files a grievance.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MLB may try to argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labor contract, a person familiar with management’s deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Taking that action would prevent the New York Yankees third baseman from returning to the field, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list.<\/p>\n
