ST. PAUL, MINN. (KCSi-T.V. News) - - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District,awarded a $3.84 million contract last week to Versacon, Inc., of Maple Grove,
Minn., to continue construction of the second reach of an embankment project
for the City of Devils Lake, N.D.

The project includes raising the existing city embankments from an elevation
of 1,460 to 1,466 for a 5,000 feet reach east of Highway 20. Work will
involve widening the embankment on the dry side to accommodate the additional
height including the construction of dam features such as an internal sand
drain and rock protection. The procurement is a 100 percent set-aside for
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns.

The district has been working with the city since the mid-1980s and has
raised its embankments a number of times. Construction on this phase of the
project is expected to begin this fall and be complete in 2011.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, serves the American
public in the areas of environmental enhancement, navigation, flood damage
reduction, water and wetlands regulation, recreation sites and disaster
response. It contributes around $175 million to the five-state district
economy. The more than 638 employees work at more than 40 sites in five
upper-Midwest states. For more information, see www.mvp.usace.army.mil.

McCLUSKY, N.D. (AP) - The state fire marshal's office says the
cause of a grain elevator fire in McClusky cannot be determined.
Fire Marshal Ray Lambert says damage from the Aug. 4 blaze at
the Co-Op Elevator was too extensive for investigators to pinpoint
the cause.
But Lambert says authorities have no reason to believe the fire
is suspicious.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) - Trial is under way for a former North
Dakota Highway Patrol trooper accused of assaulting his wife at
their Moorhead, Minn., home.
During opening statements on Tuesday, defense attorney Mark
Friese (freez) said there was reasonable doubt that Michael Polomny
hit or kicked his wife.
Naomi Polomny testified Tuesday that being hit and kicked was
her perception of what happened during the June 23 incident. She
also said she doesn't believe her husband tried to intentionally
harm her.
Moorhead Police Sgt. Steve Larsen testified that domestic
assault victims often recant. Prosecutor Pamela Harris showed the
jury photos of scrapes and bruises the wife suffered on her back,
leg and forearm.
Forty-one-year-old Michael Polomny faces misdemeanor charges of
domestic assault and child endangerment. He was fired from the
Highway Patrol after his arrest. He has appealed.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A Rolla woman has been sentenced to a year
and three months in federal prison in a case in which authorities
say she and two juveniles used a stolen car to ram a bar that they
then burglarized.
Twenty-one-year-old Courtney Charbonneau in May pleaded guilty
to burglary and larceny charges.
Authorities say Charbonneau and the two juveniles in April 2009
broke into a residence in the Belcourt area and took money, a video
game console and keys to a car that they later rammed into the
walls of a bar. The group then took alcohol, money tills and
lighting, and stole another car on the way out.
Charbonneau will be on supervised release for three years
following her prison term. She also was ordered to pay $13,290 in
restitution.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A judge has ruled that a McLean County
rancher's cattle should not have been seized by law officers.
The Sheriff's Department seized 258 cows, calves and bulls from
Layton Reynolds of Douglas on Friday. State's Attorney Ladd
Erickson said in an affidavit that the cattle kept getting into
neighbors' fields due to lack of feed in the pasture in which they
were held.
Judge David Reich held a hearing Monday and ruled late Tuesday
that the state had failed to prove that the seizure was necessary.
Reynolds faces eight misdemeanor criminal charges in three cases
filed last year related to allegations that he allowed cattle to
run loose and that he neglected animals. The first two cases are
slated for trial in November.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - More than a third of supply managers in nine
Midwest and Plains states surveyed for a regional business index
expect a recession in 2011.
As part of the Mid-America report released Wednesday, supply
managers were asked their expectations for 2011, and 35 percent
said a recession was likely or very likely.
The August overall economic index dipped to 55.8 from 60.8 in
July.
The report uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to
100. Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the next three
to six months, while a score below 50 suggests a contracting
economy. The report is overseen by Creighton University economist
Ernie Goss.
States in the survey are Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's Supreme Court is
considering whether a voter initiative on pharmacy ownership will
get a statewide vote.
The initiative's supporters say it will give North Dakotans
access to cheaper prescription drugs. Its opponents say letting
large retailers into the pharmacy business will hurt rural
drugstores.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem told the Supreme Court on
Wednesday that the initiative petition didn't include a required
listing of the proposal's sponsors. He calls the mistake a
"complete failure" and says it should prevent the measure from
being listed on the November ballot.
Devils Lake attorney Dan Traynor represents the initiative's
sponsors. He says the omission was an honest mistake and shouldn't
prevent a statewide vote on the pharmacy issue.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Delta Air Lines is ending daily flights
between Minot and Salt Lake City only a few months after they
began.
Minot International Airport Director Andrew Solsvig says the
service will end Oct. 4 because of lower-than-expected demand for
the flights, which began May 4. Only about half of the planes were
filled on average.
Delta's flights between Minot and Minneapolis are not affected.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) - Police say they have shot an armed man
who took three people hostage in the Discovery Channel network's
headquarters in suburban Washington, Wednesday. All of the hostages are safe.
Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger says he does not
know whether police killed the gunman, who was upset about the
network's programming.
They spent about three hours negotiating with him after he burst
into the suburban Washington building about 1 p.m. waving a handgun
and with canisters strapped to his body.
Police had not confirmed whether the canisters were explosives.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Forecasters believe Hurricane Earl could
strengthen into a Category 4 storm with winds of more than 130
miles an hour later Wednesday. It's on track to come close to the North
Carolina shore late tomorrow or early Friday. If it turns to the
north later than expected, its eye would make landfall on the
eastern tip of North Carolina -- and hurricane-force winds also
could reach New York's Long Island and Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

BAGHDAD (AP) - The final phase of the U.S. military involvement
in Iraq -- the post-combat phase -- is under way. The transition
officially took place with a handover of the U.S. military command
there to Army Gen. Lloyd Austin. He'll now lead about 50,000 U.S.
troops who remain there, with a deadline for a full pullout by the
end of next year.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Palestinian spokesman says the new round of
talks with Israel will fail almost immediately unless Israel
extends a moratorium on construction of Jewish settlements in the
West Bank. It's supposed to expire in less than four weeks. The
comments came as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas went to the White
House to meet with President Barack Obama. Israel's prime minister
visted earlier in the day.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Six men who alleged they were sexually
abused by an Oregon Boy Scouts leader in the 1980s have settled
their lawsuits against the group's national organization for
undisclosed amounts. A jury found the group negligent for allowing
a former assistant scoutmaster to associate with Scouts after he
admitted to a Scouts official in 1983 that he had molested 17 boys.
