\u00a0\u00a0ARNEGARD, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have released the name of a Williston man killed in a wreck on an icy Highway 85 between Williston and Watford City.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Highway Patrol says 35-year-old Franklin Mundo left Arnegard and was heading east Sunday evening when he lost control on the icy road due to rain, snow and blowing snow.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The car slid sideways into westbound traffic and was struck by an extended cab pickup struck heading west. Mundo was killed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The pickup truck driver, Lyle Sasse, of Vancouver, Wash., suffered minor injuries but was not hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) – An effort to raise $50,000 to fund a pilot project to outfit 20 Standing Rock Reservation homes with heat stoves that burn pellets made from natural materials is nearing its goal.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More than 1,000 people have contributed more than $44,000 to “Heating the Rez,” promoted via www.indiegogo.com<\/a> .
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attorney and American Indian activist Chase Iron Eyes is spearheading the effort. He says donations from $5 to $1,000 have arrived from a dozen different countries — as far as Australia and Sweden.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ultimate goal of the effort is to move the reservation away from its reliance on propane, which is pricey now because of a nationwide shortage. As many as 5,000 homes on the reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border rely on propane for heat.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s robust economy has led to a record population, the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and thousands of more jobs than takers. But the state’s economic miracle led by its oil bonanza also has resulted in plenty of problems, including more crime and increasingly overcrowded prison and jail cells.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A state commission made up of lawmakers, judges, lawyers and law enforcement officials is seeking to balance public safety and free-up lockup space by considering alternative sentencing for low-level offenders.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sen. Ron Carlisle of Bismarck heads the 18-member commission. He says the group is studying such things as enhanced treatment and rehabilitation programs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carlisle says several Republican-led states are finding that alternatives to incarceration are less expensive and more effective than building new lockups.<\/p>\n

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – Thousands of police in the capital of Ukraine are doing battle against 20,000 protesters. Police using stun grenades and water cannons Tuesday charged into the main opposition camp, after at least nine people were killed in street clashes earlier in the day. Police dismantled some of the barricades in Independence Square, and many of the demonstrators’ tents were set on fire. But the protesters fought back, armed with rocks, bats and fire bombs. And opposition leader Vitali Klitschko (VIH’-tah-lee KLICH’-koh) is urging them to defend the camp. It’s been the epicenter of nearly three months of anti-government protests.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – According to the non-partisan numbers-crunchers in Congress, raising the federal minimum wage as President Barack Obama and Democrats want to do would raise earnings for more than 16.5 million people by 2016. But it would also reduce employment by roughly 500,000 workers. The Congressional Budget Office analysis comes as the Senate prepares to debate a Democratic plan to gradually increase the current $7.25 minimum wage to $10.10 an hour in 2016.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Federal officials say toxic coal ash has coated the bottom of a North Carolina river up to 70 miles downstream of a Duke Energy dump where a massive spill occurred two weeks ago. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says a massive bar of coal ash about 75 feet long and as much as 5 feet deep has been detected on the bottom of the Dan River near the site of the spill. Public health officials have advised people to avoid contact with the water.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – The owner of a London theater where the ceiling partially collapsed in the middle of a performance says the venue will reopen next month. Almost 80 people were injured, seven seriously, when chunks of plaster and wood fell from the ceiling of the century-old Apollo Theatre on Dec. 19. The owner says the theater will reopen with the upper gallery roofed in, so experts can continue to examine the ceiling. The cause of the accident is still being investigated.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MASON, Mich. (AP) – Two Michigan families are celebrating the Olympics with a massive sled track that they built into a backyard hill. A TV station (WILX) says the Baker and Hines families came up with the idea for a luge track in Mason, southeast of Lansing. The course is about 200 feet long and includes a tunnel and a rendering of the Olympic rings. Doug Hines says they used two tractors with front-end loaders to create the course. He says it took about three days to build and a few hours to cover with ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
