BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials are re-establishing traffic on a stretch of highway in North Dakota that has been closed for months due to protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
The stretch of state Highway 1806 was shut down in late October after a bridge was damaged by fires during protests.
Authorities say that beginning at noon Friday, two-way traffic will be allowed with the assistance of pilot cars that will escort vehicles over a 9-mile stretch. That system will continue until authorities deem it safe to resume normal traffic without pilot cars.
The stretch of highway is near the area where pipeline opponents camped for months. The camps were cleared out and shut down late last month in advance of spring flooding season.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota legislators are looking to cut funding needed to repair a historical site where thousands of American Indians once gathered to trade along the Missouri River.
The state House voted last month to withdraw a $1.25 million loan authorized last session to help restore the fast-eroding Double Ditch Indian Village Historic Site. The bill is now before the Senate Appropriations Committee, which may choose to reinstate the funds.
The state historical society was promised the $3.5 million it would take to stop the erosion in 2015. At least 16 graves had been exposed because of erosion. Members of the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation reburied the exposed graves last year.
North Dakota has owned the site since 1936. The site began eroding during floods in 2011.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A judge has declined to dismiss criminal charges against the McKenzie County sheriff who is accused of misusing his office credit card.
South Central District Judge Sonna Anderson refused the dismissal motion Tuesday during a hearing in Bismarck. She didn’t offer a reason for the decision.
Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger is accused of making excessive charges on his office credit card during a trip to the 2015 Western State’s Sheriff’s Association Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
Schwartzenberger later paid for the charges but a criminal affidavit alleges the charges were made in violation of a county policy.
Defense attorney Tom Dickson calls the criminal allegations baseless, and contends that there was no written policy.
Schwartzenberger is scheduled for trial on May 16. He faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison and $2,000 in fines.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is defending itself at trial against more than 300 farmers and other landowners who say the agency’s management of the Missouri River has contributed to major flooding in five states, most notably 2011 flooding that caused billions of dollars in damage.
The civil trial that began March 6 in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Kansas City, Missouri involves a 2014 lawsuit alleging the Corps has deemphasized flood control along the Missouri and put more emphasis on habitat restoration. The plaintiffs say that’s led to more flooding, including in 2011 flooding that caused billions of dollars in damage.
The U.S. government counters that authorities never promised to stop all Missouri River flooding.
A decision isn’t expected until summer, at the earliest.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Game and Fish Department says it will propose an earlier start to the 2017 pheasant season because of a new state law.
The department said Wednesday it will propose Oct. 7 as the pheasant opener. That’s one week earlier than what the department earlier announced.
A bill signed into law by Gov. Doug Burgum this week requires North Dakota’s pheasant season to open no later than Oct. 12.
Game and Fish Department director Terry Steinwand says the new law means the pheasant season will no longer always open on the second Saturday in October, which has been the case for more than 20 years.
Game and Fish also will propose that the youth pheasant hunting season also open earlier, on Sept. 30 instead of Oct. 7.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Mountain lion hunting during the late season in North Dakota’s Zone 1 has been closed, with the killing of a seventh cat filling the quota.
The state Game and Fish Department says a conditional season in Zone 1 will open Tuesday for hunters to pursue the five lions that weren’t taken during the early season.
The conditional season closes March 31 or once five cats are killed. Early season regulations apply, so hunters are not allowed to use dogs. Hunters who harvested a lion during the early or late seasons are not eligible to participate.
Zone 1 roughly encompasses the southwest and west central parts of the state. There is no quota in Zone 2, the rest of the state. Lion hunting there is open through the end of March.

VIKINGS-MURRAY
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have signed former Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray.
The team announced the signing early Thursday morning. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Murray spent his first four NFL seasons with the Raiders. He ran for 788 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns last season.
Murray was a sixth-round draft pick of the Raiders out of Central Florida in 2013. He has rushed for 2,278 yards and 20 touchdowns. Murray made his first Pro Bowl in 2015 after taking over as the Raiders’ No. 1 back and rushing for 1,066 yards and six TDs.
His arrival could signal the end of Adrian Peterson’s time in Minnesota. Peterson is a free agent who visited last week with Seattle.
The Vikings declined their option on Peterson’s contract for 2017 and made him a free agent for the first time. Minnesota previously stated its openness to re-signing its all-time leading rusher — but for the right price.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and Republican leaders are trying to stem a rebellion within the ranks over the GOP health care overhaul. They’re talking about revising the plan, which is being taken up today by the House Budget Committee. There have been signs of eroding support after a congressional report projected the bill would pry coverage from millions of voters.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Military spending would get the biggest boost in President Donald Trump’s proposed $1.15 trillion budget, just unveiled this morning. Environmental programs, medical research, Amtrak and an array of international and cultural programs would take big hits. It’ll be up to Congress to decide who gets what.
TOKYO (AP) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is calling on North Korea to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, saying the isolated nation “need not fear” the United States. Tillerson made that declaration after meeting the Japanese foreign minister in Tokyo, where they discussed possible new approaches in dealing with Pyongyang.
LONDON (AP) — A bill authorizing Britain to start its exit, or “Brexit,” from the European Union has received royal assent from Queen Elizabeth, and is now law. It means that Prime Minister Theresa May is now free to invoke a provision of the European Union’s key treaty, triggering two years of exit negotiations. She says she will do that by month’s end.
DETROIT (AP) — Authorities in Detroit say police have arrested a man suspected of shooting and wounding two officers in an exchange of gunfire that also left the suspect injured. In Columbus, Ohio, a police officer and another person were shot and wounded last night. The Columbus Dispatch reports officers were executing a search warrant at the time. The suspected shooter is under arrest.
