\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state Monday afternoon issued a travel alert for southeast North Dakota because of blowing snow that’s reducing visibility to near zero in some places.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Department of Transportation says the alert includes Fargo, Wahpeton and surrounding areas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The National Weather Service also put out a wind chill advisory for most of central and eastern North Dakota through Tuesday morning.

Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0– U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Monday spoke with North Dakota agriculture
\nproducers about the progress that has been made on the Farm Bill, and urged them to
\nkeep the pressure on lawmakers to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Heitkamp addressed farmers in Jamestown at the Precision Agriculture Action Summit, at the North Dakota Farmers Union State Headquarters, and in Fargo at the Crop Insurance Conference 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter three years of debate, we are now closer than ever to passing a long-term,
\ncomprehensive Farm Bill,\u201d said Heitkamp. \u201cBut we can\u2019t become complacent now, not
\nwhen we are so close to passing this law. We need to force members to act and give
\ncertainty to our hardworking farmers and ranchers. We are so close. Now it\u2019s time to
\nget this bill across the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heitkamp stressed the importance of maintaining a strong crop insurance system. She
\nhighlighte\"Heidi12014-b\"<\/a>d the crop insurance provisions she pushed for in the Senate-passed bill,
\nincluding: additional crop insurance supports for new and beginning farmers; a
\nprovision to make sure disaster years don\u2019t unfairly harm production histories,
\nresulting in weaker coverage for farmers; and a provision to make permanent the
\nenterprise units system that has been very successful in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the beginning of this process, I have heard one clear message from producers
\nand industry stakeholders \u2013 crop insurance is the backbone of the farm safety net
\nand should not be harmed,\u201d said Heitkamp. \u201cThe Farm Bill not only makes sure there\u2019s
\nstrong support going forward for the Federal Crop Insurance Program, it makes
\nhistoric investments to further strengthen crop insurance offerings that give our
\ngrowers the support they need to feed our state, the country, and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

A member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Heitkamp played a key role in
\npassing a bipartisan Farm Bill through the Senate in June.\u00a0 Members of Congress are
\nnow working to combine the Senate and House of Representative-passed bills into a
\ncompromise bill that can pass in both chambers. The Senate-passed bill reduces the
\nfederal deficit by $24 billion while maintaining a strong safety net for farmers and
\nranchers, so they can continue to feed the world.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) On a very un-summer-like day, the Minnesota Twins\u2019 54th annual Winter Caravan traveled Monday to Valley City, at Mo Eats (formerly the Broken Spoke) and later in the morning traveled by bus, in near blizzard and sub zero wind chills, to Jamestown, at the Quality Inn & Suites.<\/p>\n

\"Twins2\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On hand\u00a0with the \u00a0caravan were the M.C. of the event, former Twin and Baseball Hall-Of-Famer and Twins broadcaster Bert Blyleven.<\/p>\n

Also in town were catchers coach, Terry Steinbach, Twins pitcher Anthony Swarzak, infielder Trevor Plouffe, and mascot TC Bear.<\/p>\n

Blyleven opened the event by noting the Twins made good acquisitions in the off season, but added that improvement is needed in starting pitching and that a couple of more pitchers are needed in the starting rotation.<\/p>\n

He pointed\"twins4\"<\/a> out that the Twins have good young prospects who may make the team this season, in addition to prospects in the Twins minor league system.<\/p>\n

Blyleven feels confident the Twins will be competitive this summer in the American League Central Division.<\/p>\n

Anthony Swarzak, who led the major leagues, in innings pitched in 2013, with 96, said he will serve in the Twins in either the reliever or the starting pitcher role, what ever role he can best serve the team.<\/p>\n

Blyleven said Swarzak played a big role in the Twins bullpen last season.<\/p>\n

Steinbach said catching is looking good in 2014 with the addition of Kurt Suzuki and two young prospects, now that Joe Mauer has moved to 1st<\/sup> base, full time.<\/p>\n

Plouffe added that in 2012 he knew hecould hit in the big leagues and is gaining more confidence, with his major league experience.<\/p>\n

All indicated the goal for 2014 is \u201cmore wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Twins note that the Winter Caravan stops in nearly 50 communities throughout Twins Territory and is one of the longest and most extensive team caravans in professional sports.<\/p>\n

Watch Twins baseball all season long on CSi Cable 25.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has ruled on its second warrantless search case in a month, and this one went against police.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The court says in a case entitled State vs. Hart that authorities were wrong to enter a Bismarck home in August 2012 without a warrant in a search that resulted in drug arrests.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The opinion says officers should not have relied on evidence seized from a different residence when the only connection between the two houses was the fact that one of the suspects was previously at the first residence searched.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The case has been sent back to district court for further proceedings.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three weeks ago the court ruled in favor of police in Fargo who used a drug-sniffing dog to conduct a warrantless sweep of an apartment.<\/p>\n

DOUGLAS, N.D. (AP) – Residents who are facing a fourth straight year of flooding on Rice Lake in northwestern North Dakota say a drainage pipeline is a bad idea.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ron Kramer, spokesman for Friends of the Douglas Aquifer, says the Rice Lake Recreation Service District has ignored less expensive options in favor of a solution that harms its neighbors and taxes residents beyond their abilities to pay.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The $6 million pipeline would transfer excess water from Rice Lake into Douglas Creek.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The recreation district is suing Kramer and other residents in an eminent domain proceeding to obtain easements to construct the pipeline. District officials say they can’t comment because of the pending lawsuit.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kramer spoke Sunday at meeting of residents in Douglas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota auditorium is celebrating its 100 birthday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The stone and brick structure now known as the Belle Mehus (MAY’-hoos) Auditorium opened in downtown Bismarck on Jan. 19, 1914.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Auditorium officials kicked off the celebration Sunday with an open house. Other events planned include a concert on Feb. 9, a black tie gala, a movie night and a red carpet night.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The anniversary will include a fundraising campaign that will run all year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first show on the auditorium’s stage was Reginald DeKoven’s operetta, “Robin Hood.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The paper reported at the time it was the social event of the city and sold out even when ticket prices were as high as $18, a large sum for that era.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A utility company in western North Dakota is dealing with massive retirements thanks mostly to a lucrative pension plan.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Basin Electric Power Cooperative is trying is to replace 259 employees it has lost to retirement in the last two years, including 179 who left in 2013.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Company communications manager Mary Miller\u00a0says \u00a0the average age of the retirees has been 59 and they have had an average of 29.5 years of service.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Basin’s pension plan is based on salary, years of service and interest rates. Employees can get their pension through monthly payments or a lump sum. When interest rates are lower, that lump sum is higher and many retirees are taking advantage before rates rise again.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0MILWAUKEE (AP) – Another band of arctic air is descending into the northern U.S., bringing a wave of frigid temperatures expected to linger for most of the week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Temperatures plunged below zero in North Dakota and northern Minnesota on Monday morning. The cold front is expected to expand south into Iowa and as far east as Maine by Tuesday night, and will remain entrenched through Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Collar says the bitterly cold blast will lead to a swath of subzero temperatures, with highs in the single digits and wind chills of minus 20 or colder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He says portions of Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are under wind chill warnings. He says the cold will be challenging but not as bad as the recent polar vortex.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEATTLE (AP) – Friends and family of an American man who’s been held for more than a year in North Korea are both heartbroken and encouraged by his public statement Monday in which Kenneth Bae (beh) apologized and said he committed anti-government acts. A family friend in Seattle says it was heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform but encouraging to see and hear him. He says he doesn’t know whether Monday’s apology may be part of some process that will lead to Bae’s release.\u00a0 He was seized in November 2012 while leading a tour group.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel’s prime minister is skeptical — even as the United States and Europe ease up on sanctions against Iran. They took that step after Iran Monday froze key aspects of its nuclear program. It’s the first step on the road to a final agreement aimed at keeping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu told his country’s parliament that the final agreement “must remove the Iranian nuclear train from the tracks.” He’s urging the world to keep up the pressure on Iran.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi official has a grim warning\u00a0 about the situation in the western province of Anbar. The official says the Islamic militants who are controlling the mostly-Sunni area are so well-armed, they could occupy the country’s capital. The warming came as a new wave of bombings left more than 30 people dead.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has been honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service by helping a soup kitchen prepare its daily meals. Obama took his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha to DC Central Kitchen, which is a few minutes away from the White House by presidential motorcade. They joined an assembly line that was churning out burritos. DC Central Kitchen prepares thousands of meals every day for distribution to local shelters.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A fire official in Omaha, Nebraska, describes conditions as “very extreme” inside the animal food processing plant where there was an explosion and a partial building collapse Monday. At least ten people have been hospitalized, and others could be trapped. The interim fire chief says there were 38 employees at work when the explosion took place.
