Fargo (CSi) Today, troopers in the North Dakota Highway Patrol’s southeast region are partnering with the Valley City School District to conduct an enforcement effort to increase traffic safety on local bus routes. A trooper will ride along on a regular bus route to observe drivers. If a violation occurs, the trooper will radio the information to another trooper in a nearby squad car. A traffic stop will be initiated with enforcement action taken.<\/p>\n

This effort will enhance the enforcement of related traffic laws and increase public awareness of the dangers created by motorists who fail to stop for school buses when children are loading and unloading.<\/p>\n

The consequence for failing to stop as required for a school bus is a $100 fine and six points to the violator’s driving record. In addition, the registered owner of a motor vehicle may also be assessed a fine of $100 for the driver failing to stop as required for a school bus.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valley City (CSi) Valley City Mayor Bob Werkhoven joined officials from Barnes County, North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), and Valley City Barnes County Development Corporation Tuesday to celebrate the completion of 7th<\/sup> Street SE and the I-94 Business Loop construction projects in Valley City.<\/p>\n

The ceremony included remarks by NDDOT Director Grant Levi, Valley City Mayor Bob Werkhoven, Barnes County Commissioner Phil Leitner, and officials from ND National Guard, and John Deere Seeding Group.<\/p>\n

Mayor Werkhoven said, “These projects are a great example of state and local partners working together to enhance traffic movement and provide easier access to our wonderful city, They will greatly benefit our citizens, business partners and expand our economic opportunities for many years to come.”<\/p>\n

The road construction projects enhance the transportation infrastructure of Valley City and provide improved access to residents and business owners along the corridor.<\/p>\n

NDDOT Director Grant Levi said, “Historic transportation investments are being made across North Dakota, This project is another example of how those investments are helping local communities meet their transportation needs.”<\/p>\n

The funding for the Valley City projects opened today came from federal, state and city funds which totaled approximately $3.2 million.<\/p>\n

Border States Paving Company of Jamestown, N.D. and Paras Contracting of Fargo, N.D. were the main contractors on the projects which included; paving, concrete curb and gutter work, driveway entrances, additional turning lanes and additional lighting, wider turning lanes, intersection improvements and other amenities.<\/p>\n

In North Dakota the 2013 and 2014 construction seasons represent the largest road construction programs in state history, with more than $1.6 billion in bids for roadway projects. This biennium, the state will invest about $2.6 billion in infrastructure improvements across the state. The state\u2019s commitment – more than twice the amount of the previous, two-year funding package includes funding for highway, city, county and township road improvements; water supply and water treatment projects and the development of affordable housing.<\/p>\n

State Election Highlights…<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota voters have turned back a “right-to-life” amendment that opponents feared would have ended abortion in the state. Voters rejected the measure by a wide margin. It would have declared in the state constitution “the inalienable right to life of every human being at every stage of development must be recognized and protected.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota voters have rejected a proposed measure that would have funneled more oil taxes into water, wildlife and parks projects. The measure would have directed 5 percent of the state’s oil extraction taxes into the state’s conservation fund, which is currently capped at $30 million during the state’s two-year budget cycle.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota voters have rejected a plan to dump the state Board of Higher Education in favor of a full-time commission.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The measure on Tuesday’s ballot was originally proposed by lawmakers who believe the board has done a poor job of managing a large system and have granted too much power to university presidents. Opponents believed the move would limit academic freedom and affect accreditation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board is a part-time group with eight members who are appointed by the governor. The change would have replaced the board with a three-member commission.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Democratic candidate for North Dakota’s lone U.S. House seat said his loss to Republican Representative Kevin Cramer by 30,000 votes shows that the outcome was “meant to be.” George Sinner says he believed the race would be closer. Sinner says Cramer was wise to promote President Barack Obama’s unpopularity in the state.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring (GOHR’-ing) has won his second campaign for the post, beating Democratic challenger Ryan Taylor. North Dakota’s contest for agriculture commissioner once focused largely on which candidate was more of a farmer. But as the state’s energy-driven prosperity grows, the job increasingly has become more about harvesting oil.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The executive director of the North Dakota Republican Party says he’s not surprised about a convincing sweep at the top of the ticket because pre-election polling showed that GOP candidates had comfortable leads.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jason Flohrs says the victory by six statewide officeholders and U.S. Representative Kevin Cramer is a testament to a job the candidates have done and also what previous Republican leaders did to pave the way.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Flohrs say voters went to the polls to reward that success. He also says having an unpopular president added to the winning margin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of the North Dakota Democratic Party says he’s disappointed in the results of the midterm election. Democratic-NPL Chairman Bob Valeu says the election of state legislative candidates Erin Oban in Bismarck and Pamela Anderson in Fargo were bright spots on a night when Republicans won all statewide offices and the race for U.S. House. Valeu says the Democrats are going to rebound.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2013 A North Dakota judge says a state Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent and the state attorney general have two weeks to pay back a Forbes man for confiscating his pay loader.<\/p>\n

Agent Arnie Rummel took possession of the loader in May from Darrel Schrum after an investigation determined that the equipment was stolen. Schrum told authorities he didn\u2019t know about the theft and said he bought the loader in good faith.<\/p>\n

Judge Daniel Narum said in a ruling from the bench in September that Rummel was in contempt of court and ordered the state to pay $49,000. Narum\u2019s written order on Tuesday says the state owes nearly $54,000, including lawyer\u2019s fees.<\/p>\n

Mark Friese, Schrum\u2019s attorney, says his client is pleased with the ruling. The state plans to appeal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) – Two electrical workers contracted by Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative in Wahpeton were injured when hot water flowed over them while they were working.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Richland County Sheriff’s Office says the workers were on a scissor lift Tuesday afternoon when the incident happened. One of the workers was taken to a hospital in nearby Breckenridge, Minnesota, and the other was flown to a Fargo hospital.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The sheriff’s office says the condition of the workers is not known. The cause of the incident is still being investigated.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0BELFIELD, N.D. (AP) – A Belfield man is accused of trying to stab another man to death.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-three-year-old Brett Hlibichuk on Oct. 20 allegedly stabbed the man twice in the stomach and once in the neck with a sharp instrument, The Bismarck Tribune reported.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents say it took surgeons several hours to save the man’s life.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The documents do not list an attorney for Hlibichuk. He is due in court on Dec. 29, and could enter a plea at that time to a Class AA felony attempted murder charge that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.<\/p>\n

VALLEY CITY (VCSU) – Valley City State University women’s basketball coach Jill DeVries announced Tuesday that Alli Vandal from Rolla, N.D., has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Valley City State University.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot forward, Vandal excelled last season for Rolla High School, averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. She led the Bulldogs to an 18-5 record, a second-place finish in District 8, and an appearance at the Class B Region 4 Tournament. She is already a 3-time All District 8 selection entering her senior season at Rolla.<\/p>\n

While Vandal’s high school success has been great, DeVries says there’s even more success ahead for her at VCSU.<\/p>\n

DeVries said, “Alli is a great addition to our Viking family. She has a tremendous work ethic and we look forward to working with her as we believe she hasn\u2019t even touched on her potential yet.”<\/p>\n

Outside of high school basketball, Vandal also plays with the North Dakota Phenom AAU team. Her length and versatility on the court make her a good fit with the Vikings.<\/p>\n

DeVries added, “She is a long athlete that can stretch defenses with her 3-point range, as well as finish in the lane with a soft touch. Her length and quickness will also help us on the defensive side of the ball and in transition.”<\/p>\n

Vandal plans to major in elementary education while at VCSU. She is the daughter of Bob and Mary Vandal. She joins Courtney Magnuson (Guard, Willmar, Minn.) as signed recruits for the 2015-16 VCSU women’s basketball season.<\/p>\n

Valley City State University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a conference member of the North Star Athletic Association. The Vikings finished last season 13-12 and took third in the conference. With DeVries as head coach, VCSU qualified for three straight NAIA national tournaments from 2011-2013.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Undefeated North Dakota State remains atop both Football Championship Subdivision polls, after defeating a South Dakota State team that has now dropped in both polls.<\/p>\n

NDSU beat SDSU 37-17 on Saturday, and got all of the first-place votes in this week’s coaches’ poll and Sports Network poll.<\/p>\n

SDSU slipped three spots in the coaches’ poll and four spots in the Sports Network poll, to No. 22 in both polls.<\/p>\n

The Bison travel to No. 19\/20 Northern Iowa this Saturday, while the Jackrabbits play No. 17\/19 Indiana State on the road.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A hot streak by the University of North Dakota hockey team has propelled UND to second in both national polls.<\/p>\n

UND got nine of the 34 first-place votes in this week’s USA Today\/USA Hockey Magazine Poll, and 11 of the 50 first-place votes in the USCHO.com poll.<\/p>\n

UND is unbeaten in its last six games, with five wins and a tie. The team travels to Wisconsin this weekend.<\/p>\n

Minnesota remains atop both polls. Boston College, Colgate and Boston round out the top five in each poll.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2013 Hall of Famer Paul Molitor has officially taken over as manager of the Minnesota Twins. And he says “I have no doubt this is where I\u2019m supposed to be.”<\/p>\n

The Twins introduced Molitor on Tuesday. He becomes just their third manager since 1986.<\/p>\n

Molitor spent last season as a coach on the fired Ron Gardenhire\u2019s staff. He says he takes the job determined to get a team that has lost at least 92 games in four straight seasons back to competitiveness much sooner than many expect.<\/p>\n

The Twins interviewed numerous candidates in the five weeks since Gardenhire was fired. In the end, they chose the St. Paul native over others including Boston bench coach Torey Lovullo and minor league manager Doug Mientkiewicz.<\/p>\n

Molitor says “I\u2019m coming here to win.”<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

CONROE, Texas (AP) – Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson will avoid jail time after reaching a plea agreement in his child abuse case.<\/p>\n

A judge agreed to the plea deal during a hearing Tuesday in Conroe, 40 miles north of Houston.<\/p>\n

Peterson was indicted in September for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston. The All-Pro running back was charged with felony injury to a child and had faced up to two years in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault.<\/p>\n

Peterson says he never intended to harm his son and was disciplining him in the same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas.<\/p>\n

Now the question is whether he will rejoin the Vikings this season. He has been on paid leave, via a special roster exemption issued by the NFL.<\/p>\n

General manager Rick Spielman said prior to Peterson’s court hearing the Vikings would not comment “until it’s appropriate to speak.” After the plea agreement was reached, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said there was no timetable for the determination of Peterson’s status.<\/p>\n

Twins…<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Hall of Famer Paul Molitor has officially taken over as manager of the Minnesota Twins. He becomes just their third manager since 1986. Molitor spent last season as a coach on Ron Gardenhire’s staff. He says he takes the job determined to get a team that has lost at least 92 games in four straight seasons back to competitiveness much sooner than many expect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0UNDATED (AP) – Terry Francona has a new contract to manage the Cleveland Indians. The two-year extension through 2018 has club options for 2019 and 2020.\u00a0 Francona’s initial four-year contract was set to expire in 2016. The 55-year-old, who won two World Series titles with Boston, has led Cleveland to consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2000-01. The Indians have gone 177-147 under Francona, and they made the playoffs in 2013 as a wild-card team. Since 2004, Francona’s teams have posted 10 consecutive winning seasons.

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress will have a new look come January, following a Republican midterm election victory. The GOP picked up enough seats to retake the Senate and significantly increase their hold on the House. Republicans took over formerly Democratic Senate seats in seven states.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Republicans made inroads in the states during the midterm elections, picking up several governorships including upsets in Democratic bastions like Maryland, Massachusetts and Illinois. They also expanded their influence in a number of state legislatures.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Exit polling suggests the Republican sweep into full control of Congress is fueled by voter pessimism, especially from people who feel they’ve been left behind as the economy gradually recovers. Even so, those same voters generally expressed little confidence in GOP leaders. About half those voters say their own financial situation hasn’t improved much and a fourth say it’s gotten worse. Six in 10 voters didn’t like the Obama administration or Republican leaders in Congress.

Amnesty International says in a report that “Israeli forces killed scores of Palestinian civilians in attacks targeting houses full of families.” The Gaza war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, including many civilians.
