\u3000\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An Alberta clipper that passed through the region has left many highways in North Dakota and eastern South Dakota slick for Thanksgiving holiday travelers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A travel alert remains in effect Wednesday morning for central North Dakota. That means motorists can still travel, but they should beware of poor conditions. A winter weather advisory is in effect for part of northeastern South Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The system that passed through Tuesday dumped 2-5 inches of snow throughout the region. The National Weather Service says more snow is possible on Thanksgiving throughout North Dakota and in northern South Dakota, though heavy accumulations are not expected.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Black Friday shoppers in North Dakota also could see light snow and possibly some freezing rain in the south. But temperatures in both states should be relatively balmy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge says a previous conviction against one of two brothers accused of scamming the federal government out of $2 million in crop insurance payments cannot be used as evidence in trial – for now. Aaron and Derek Johnson, who grew potatoes in the Carrington area, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to receive illegal payments by intentionally damaging the spuds. The Johnsons are accused of applying chemicals and adding spoiled and frozen potatoes to their stored crop to increase deterioration.<\/p>\n

LANKIN, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Authorities say more than 80 cats have been seized from a woman\u2019s home in northeastern North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Tuesday they retrieved 82 cats from the Lankin home Monday after receiving a court order to seize them.<\/p>\n

Health department officials and a Grafton deputy went to the home a month ago and found the cats in horrible living conditions. The court order followed numerous complaints about the health hazard of the woman\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\nThe \u00a0panel’s recommendations include improving communication among staff, setting up a balanced disciplinary procedure with checks and balances, providing a strong message of support to staff and examining pay scales.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The panel was established after some former officers raised concerns about morale and administrative oversight. The board interviewed 90 current and former officers, as well as several others from other law enforcement agencies.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The five-member panel includes retired Highway Patrol Superintendent Jim Prochniak, retired Cass County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jim Thoreson and Clay County, Minnesota, Administrator Brian Berg.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm says the state is set to receive more than $25,000 as part of a multi-state life insurance settlement with Symetra Life and Symetra National Life Insurance Companies.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hamm on Tuesday said seven states including North Dakota have reached a $1.2 million agreement with the insurer related to its use of the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Symetra used the file to search for and stop payments to annuity holders, but didn’t use it to identify deceased life-insurance policyholders to pay their beneficiaries.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The insurer has agreed to implement a number changes under the settlement. It will use the Social Security’s death records on a timely basis to search for deceased policyholders and make payments to their beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

ST. LOUIS (AP) – An FBI spokeswoman says the shooting of two special agents in St. Louis County, Missouri, isn’t directly related to the Ferguson protests. Rebecca Wu says the agents were helping the University City Police Department execute an arrest warrant this morning. One agent was shot in the shoulder and the other agent was shot in the leg. Wu says neither injury is life-threatening.

Surveillance video will be part of the update this afternoon by police Chief Calvin Williams. The boy turned out to be carrying a replica gun that was missing an orange safety indicator.
