\nMoorhead, Minnesota woman who died after she fell from an overpass
\nonto Interstate 94 and was struck by at least one vehicle.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She is identified as 55-year-old Kristi Garden.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Minnesota State Patrol says it appears Garden may have

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The incident happened about 8:10 p.m. Saturday, shortly after

\nincluding driving under the influence and giving false information
\nto police.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Highway Patrol says one crash happened late Saturday on

\nin the first crash. Forty-three-year-old Jason Smith of Murrieta,
\nCalif., died in the other.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A man from Colorado was injured in the Saturday crash. Two Texas

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a convicted felon who walked away from a Mandan halfway house last month has been arrested in Fort Yates.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dustin Hart is charged in federal court with escape. He’s
\nscheduled to be arraigned later this week.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Staff members at the halfway house discovered that Hart was
\nmissing after they were alerted to the fact he had tampered with
\nhis GPS monitor on the afternoon of Sept. 22.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hart had been convicted in 2009 of possession of a firearm by a
\nperson convicted of domestic violence. He was sentenced to nearly
\nthree years in prison.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hart was moved to the halfway house on June 14 and was scheduled
\nto be released on Dec. 24.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0FORMAN, N.D. (AP) – A county prosecutor in southeastern North
\nDakota is charging many drunken driving offenders with reckless
\ndriving, instead of driving under the influence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sargent County State’s Attorney Lyle Bopp says he wants to give
\npeople a second chance.<\/p>\n

He says he doesn’t give the same break to repeat offenders and people who have a blood-alcohol level of more than 0.15 percent.<\/p>\n

The legal limit for DUI in North Dakota is 0.08 percent.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bopp says there isn’t much public transportation in Sargent
\nCounty, and “people need to get to work.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The penalties for drunken driving and reckless driving are about the
\nsame. But a reckless driving charge has less effect on insurance
\nrates.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Highway Patrol spokesman says the agency isn’t happy about the
\npractice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nthe expired pact.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Communications Workers of America made the announcement
\nafter the existing labor contract expired at 11:59 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

CWA spokesman Al Kogler said in a statement that negotiations will
\ncontinue and workers will remain on the job during the extension.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota fund that helps finance
\nhousing projects now has more than $11 million.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The incentive fund offers state tax breaks to contributors. For
\nevery dollar they put in, they owe a dollar less in state income
\ntax.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This month, Gate City Bank put $1.25 million into the fund. The
\nbank wants most of the money used for housing projects in
\nWilliston, Devils Lake and Bowman.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 biggest contributors to the fund have been energy companies and banks.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More than 300 individuals have also put money into the fund. It
\nprovides cheap financing for developers of multi-family housing
\nprojects.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature created the fund as a way to help alleviate a
\nhousing shortage in western North Dakota’s oil-producing region.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 BEACH, N.D. (AP) – Residents of the western North Dakota town of
\nBeach say they’re looking forward to hearing fewer train horns in
\ntown.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The city is establishing a “quiet zone” for railroads next
\nspring. Passing trains won’t be required to sound their horns
\nunless there is an emergency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The state of North Dakota is supporting
\narguments by four western counties that they have the right to
\nbuild roads along section lines.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A section line marks off a square mile of land. Section line
\nroads could be used for oil companies to get to drilling locations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Billings, Golden Valley, McKenzie and Slope counties are suing
\nthe federal government, claiming they have the right to build roads
\nalong section lines.<\/p>\n

Now the state has made similar claims in its own federal lawsuit.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Environmentalists worry the lawsuits could allow more oil
\ndrilling in the Little Missouri grasslands in western North Dakota.<\/p>\n

\u00a0DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota high school sophomores now
\nmay take courses for college credit while they’re still in high
\nschool.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s Board of Higher Education has extended
\n“dual-credit” courses to sophomores. Before, only juniors and
\nseniors could take dual credits.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dickinson High School counselor Maxine Hauck says the credits
\nare usually good at any college in North Dakota’s university
\nsystem.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But Hauck says the classes may count only toward the total
\nnumber of hours a student needs to graduate. A dual credit may not
\nsubstitute for a specific college class.<\/p>\n

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota National Guard soldiers who
\nserved a year in the Middle East were honored Sunday.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Guard held a “Freedom Salute” Sunday afternoon for the 160
\nmembers of the 188th Engineer Company.<\/p>\n

The unit is based in Wahpeton and Oakes in southeastern North Dakota.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The soldiers arrived home last August after a year of duty in Kuwait.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The soldiers are from nearly 70 communities across North Dakota
\nand into Minnesota.<\/p>\n

They did about 160 construction projects during their time on active duty, doing work valued at more than $2.2 million.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A number of North Dakota dignitaries attended Sunday’s ceremony,
\nincluding U.S. Sen. John Hoeven, Gov. Jack Dalrymple and U.S. Rep.
\nRick Berg.<\/p>\n

Guard commander David Sprynczynatyk (SPRIN’-suh-NAH’-tik) also attended.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – For critical Senate races, Republicans are
\nturning to the playbook that served them so well in the 2010
\nelections.<\/p>\n

They’re saturating the airwaves with political ads
\ndetailing the perils of “Obamacare” and the nation’s growing
\ndebt.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Democrats have added Medicare to the equation.<\/p>\n

They’re trying to make the case that revamping the government health care program for older people would virtually destroy it.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As the November 6th election fast approaches, political
\nstrategists and ad writers are pointing to what they believe this
\nyear’s vote is about: defending Medicare, creating jobs and
\nstanding up to powerful interest, whether it’s Big Oil, big banks
\nor big Washington.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Each state has distinct differences that shape the messages of
\neach race.<\/p>\n

\u00a0TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) – Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth grabbed
\nthe checkered flag at Talladega Superspeedway, after a last-lap
\ncrash eliminated race leader Tony Stewart. Kenseth avoided a 25-car
\npileup.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stewart had no drafting partner and was looking for help when he
\nmisjudged how much room he had and turned down in front of Michael
\nWaltrip.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waltrip hooked Stewart’s bumper, triggering a massive accident
\nthat sent Stewart’s car sailing on its side over the field. NASCAR
\nthrew the caution flag and Kenseth coasted to the victory.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jeff Gordon finished second and Kyle Busch was third.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney
\nsays the U.S. should take a more assertive role in Syria, put
\nconditions on aid to Egypt and tighten sanctions on Iran.<\/p>\n

Romney plans to attack President Barack Obama’s foreign policy when Romney addresses the Virginia Military Institute today. The Obama campaign says Romney has been “an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy
\nevery time he sticks his toe in the foreign policy waters.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The Romney campaign says President Barack
\nObama isn’t going to have the same advantage among early voters as
\nhe did in the 2008 election.<\/p>\n

Romney campaign political director Rich Beeson says this time in North Carolina, “Republicans havethe lead” in early voting.<\/p>\n

The United States Elections Project at George Mason University says in Florida, Republicans also favor Democrats right now. But Democrats do have a big lead in Iowa, as they did in the past two presidential elections.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BEIRUT (AP) – The leader of Syria’s main opposition group says
\nhe would not oppose a role for members of President Bashar Assad’s
\nruling Baath party in the country’s political future, as long as
\nthey did not participate in killings during the uprising.<\/p>\n

The comments by the head of the Syrian National Council appear to be a
\nsoftening of the opposition’s stance that it will accept nothing
\nless than the complete removal of the Assad regime and the
\npresident’s inner circle.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 GENEVA (AP) – The outgoing head of the Red Cross delegation in
\nAfghanistan says civilians are in greater danger with less hope for
\npeace than when he arrived on his job seven years ago.<\/p>\n

Reto Stocker says he’s “filled with concern” because suffering and hardship
\nhave increased among ordinary Afghans while their “hope for the
\nfuture has been steadily declining.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DECATUR, Ga. (AP) – A woman accused of conspiring with her
\nformer boss to kill her husband is scheduled for arraignment this
\nmorning in a court in suburban Atlanta.<\/p>\n
