Update…
GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a 61-year-old North Dakota woman was killed when she crashed her all-terrain vehicle on a gravel road in Walsh County.
The accident happened about 7 p.m. Sunday on a township road near Grafton. The Highway Patrol says in a news release that Gail Marie Osowski was driving northbound on 159th Avenue when she made an abrupt left turn “for reasons unknown” and lost control of the vehicle. The ATV entered the ditch and rolled.
The victim was dead at the scene. The patrol says she was not wearing a helmet or using any safety restraints.
MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of an inmate at the Clay County Jail in Moorhead.
Sheriff Bill Bergquist says 19-year-old Abby Lee Rudolph, of Fargo, North Dakota, experienced a medical emergency Thursday afternoon and life-saving efforts were not successful.
Rudolph had been jailed on drug-related offenses.
Bergquist says no other details will be released until the investigation is completed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck police arrested several people on outstanding warrants after a weekend incident in which shots were apparently fired at a house. Officers responded to reports of gunshots in a residential neighborhood shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday and found nine small-caliber casings in the street in front of a home, as well as holes in the side of the residence. Neighbors were told to stay in their homes for about four hours while authorities investigated.
Bismarck (CSi) Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk is raising concerns about Xcel Energy’s latest statements concerning wind power.
Xcel has said it plans to build four new wind farms. Three would be built in Minnesota, but one of them would be in Dickey County, North Dakota.
Kalk also takes issue with Xcel’s claims that customers would save “millions of dollars” over 20 years with these projects.
Kalk wants to have the company come before the Commission – and further explain what its vision is.
The Dickey County wind farm is dubbed “Foxtail Wind.” It would be built by NextEra Energy.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Supporters of a proposal to increase North Dakota’s tobacco tax for the first time in nearly a quarter century believe the move could cut down on smoking rates while also boosting health care for military veterans.
But they might be smoked out by tobacco industry money and uncertainty about how the additional tax collections would be spent.
Voters on Tuesday will decide whether to raise the state’s cigarette tax from 44 cents a pack to $2.20. The money would go to health programs, with spending overseen by governor-appointed boards.
Opponents worry about accountability. They’re getting help from the tobacco industry, which has pumped more than $3.7 million into fighting the measure.
Supporters say the money is needed because lawmakers who pledge not to raise taxes won’t help their causes.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Oil-impacted regions in North Dakota have seen a rise of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking amid the recent energy boom.
A new study showed “significant increases” for sexually-based crime in oil-impacted communities, but observed an opposite effect outside the Bakken region.
Many residents have quickly drawn conclusions that the crime rate was dependent on the influx of transient workers to the region, but the study found complex factors caused the situation.
University of North Dakota assistant professor of sociology Elizabeth Legerski told the Williston Basin Resource Coalition on Thursday that conditions ripe for aggression and violence were created by the male to female ratio imbalance, strenuous work schedules in the oilfield and disposable income in an isolated region that lacks recreational outlets.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Moose Lodge officials say the group will continue to have a presence in Minot despite a proposed buyout for a floodwater storage area under the city’s national disaster program.
Administrator Mike Stenvold tells the Minot Daily News he expects the lodge to remain open in its existing building for the foreseeable future because the facilities are used by a number of different community groups and are booked as far out as 2018.
He says the lodge hasn’t made any plans yet because the buyout process is still in the initial stages.
Minot city finance director Cindy Hemphill says the city hopes to finish the buyouts as soon as possible but realize that members of the local fraternal order and the international organization would have to give approval.
ROCKWELL CITY, Iowa (AP) — Some Iowa landowners are raising concerns about construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, saying crews have left behind debris and disrespected their land.
The Des Moines Register reports that complaints have been filed with local or state officials, including by several landowners who oppose the project. One farmer says crews burned a pile of branches worth $10,500 in firewood.
Pipeline supporters say the complaints don’t represent major problems. A civil engineer hired by 13 of the 18 counties along the pipeline route says a lot of the complaints aren’t construction agreement violations.
The Iowa Utilities Board is in various phases of investigating 22 official complaints filed as of late October, but dismissed three complaints this spring.
A spokeswoman for the pipeline’s builder says it takes construction commitments seriously.
