\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 36-year-old West Fargo High School teacher is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student over a period of several weeks in early 2009. He’s pleaded not guilty to five counts of felony corruption or solicitation of a minor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 KFGO radio reports that jury selection got underway on Tuesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Knodel was named the 2014 North Dakota teacher of the year before the allegations surfaced. He was suspended from his job without pay when the charges were filed last August.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says a subcommittee of the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority violated open records laws by keeping a preliminary report private.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The authority’s agriculture policy subcommittee in December 2014 denied a request for a copy of a presentation made to the group by the North Dakota State University researchers studying the effects of the diversion on agriculture. The subcommittee based its decision on the grounds that the presentation was a preliminary draft and part of uncompleted working materials that would be corrected and updated as the study was completed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the preliminary report became an open record when the subcommittee received it at a public meeting.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The attorney general says the subcommittee made the report public sometime after the complaint and no further action is required.<\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Technical problems continue for Nevada’s Common Core testing a week after a malfunction first halted the federally-mandated assessment process.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Last week, testing was stopped in Nevada, Montana and North Dakota after a widespread system crash with New Hampshire-based Measured Progress.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The company’s contracted to administer the tests linked to hotly disputed, federally backed education standards.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nevada resumed full testing after its first notable success with Friday’s limited testing, but system-generated error messages appeared Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clark County School District said it suspended testing after the system crashed at 9:30 a.m.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All three states have announced plans for school districts that say they can’t finish the test.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. Department of Education maintains there are no exceptions to the mandate to test 95 percent of all students, which is linked to funding.

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota House committee is endorsing a bill to restructure oil taxes as a hedge against falling crude prices. Oil companies could see a big tax cut if crude prices continue to slide. A state law forgives a 6.5 percent extraction tax if the five-month average price of oil slips below a “trigger” price. That trigger is expected to kick in June 1.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Legislature has approved $250,000 in funding aimed at preventing rape victims from having long waits for sexual assault exams. The measure would allow hospitals lacking a sexual assault nurse program to begin one. Hospitals also would be allowed to work with groups that perform the exams.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Legislature has defeated a resolution that would require state lawmakers to live in their districts.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Legislative leaders from both parties had been pushing the resolution that would amend the state constitution, should voters agree.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Current law only requires legislators to live in their districts 30 days prior to an election.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The resolution would have required the lawmaker to live in the district on the day he or she takes office.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The president of the University of North Dakota is promising to improve the way he and his staff communicate with students following a call for a no-confidence vote from student leaders.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President Robert Kelley says he will develop ways to communicate with students using UND’s website, blogs, videos and social media. He says he will also advocate for students with the chancellor of the North Dakota University System, the state Board of Higher Education and the legislature to keep tuition rates as low as possible.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Student leaders have accused Kelley and his administration of not being open enough about tuition proposals presented to students last month.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UND’s student senate is scheduled to meet Wednesday to address a no-confidence resolution.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Rain over the past week has helped newly seeded crops in North Dakota, but farmers say more moisture is needed to aid germination and reduce wind erosion.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop progress report that more than one-fifth of the state’s staple spring wheat crop is in the ground, well ahead of the average pace. Seeding of all other small grains crops except durum also is ahead of the average.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The planting of sugar beets is about halfway complete, well ahead of the average pace. About 2 percent of potatoes are seeded, slightly behind average.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Topsoil moisture supplies in North Dakota are rated 63 percent adequate to surplus. Subsoil moisture is 74 percent in those categories.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department is asking people to report nests where bald eagles are present.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Conservation biologist Sandra Johnson estimates there are about 150 active bald eagle nests in the state. That’s about 125 more than there were 15 years ago, but Game and Fish is continuing to monitor the bird that once flirted with extinction.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Johnson says eagles are actively incubating eggs in March and April, and it’s easy to distinguish an eagle nest by its enormous size. She says eagle nests historically were found along the Missouri River, but now they’ve been observed in more than half of the counties in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Game and Fish is asking for reports of active nests – not individual eagle sightings. Observers are asked to not disturb the nests.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Park Board, may reconsider options with the irrigation pond project, at Hillcrest Municipal Golf Course.<\/p>\n

With project work already begun on preparing an area between holes 10 and 17 to become a new irrigation pond in the fall, the park board may reconsider the nearly $500,000 project.<\/p>\n

At Monday\u2019s Special Meeting, the board approved having golf course architect Kevin Norby attend a future meeting to answer questions about the irrigation pond. The park board would also like cost estimates for repairing and improving the existing irrigation pond.<\/p>\n

Parks and Recreation Department Director, Doug Hogan said golf course architect Kevin Norby, who designed and has overseen about $700,000 in improvements to Hillcrest over the last two years, indicated to him that improving the existing irrigation pond, next to the golf course maintenance area, would cost about the same as the new irrigation pond.<\/p>\n
