\u00a0WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – State officials say a plan for tougher drunken driving legislation would make North Dakota one of 15 states to require jail time for first-time offenders.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The proposal follows pleas for stiffer DUI penalties after a wrong-way crash in July that killed three members of a West Fargo family.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Allison Deutscher, her husband, Aaron Deutscher, and the couple’s 18-month-old daughter, Brielle (BREE’-ehl), were killed when their SUV was struck by a man in a pickup driving the wrong way on Interstate 94 near Jamestown. The driver of the pickup had a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit for driving.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bill also calls for tougher sentences for repeat DUI offenders.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lynn Mickelson, Allison Deutscher’s father, says he owes it to his family to push for tougher drunken driving laws.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The number of rigs drilling for oil in North Dakota is at the lowest level in a year and a half.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The State Department of Mineral Resources reports that just more than 180 rigs were drilling this week. Agency spokeswoman Alison Ritter says that’s the lowest level since July 2011.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ritter says the drop in drilling is due partly to more efficient rigs and the increased costs to operate them. She says some drillers also are cutting back to stay within their 2012 budgets.<\/p>\n
