RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A North Dakota woman is suing a South Dakota ranch after she says she was mauled by a buffalo as she drove by the ranch on her motorcycle.

Marisol Heidrich, of Minot, North Dakota, contends that Mickelson Ranch and its owners are negligent, because they allegedly failed to take steps that would have prevented her injuries.

Heidrich is seeking more than $75,000 in compensation from the ranch and its father-and-son owners, Sam and Travis Mickelson.

Heidrich’s attorney says she and her husband were traveling on their motorcycles to the Sturgis rally in August 2014 when a buffalo cow charged Heidrich, knocking her off her motorcycle and stomping on her head.

The Rapid City Journal reports the Mickelsons deny any negligence and have asked the court to dismiss the complaint.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Things are looking up for North Dakota’s hotel industry, after a year of declines.

The Bismarck Tribune reports hotel demand has seen an uptick since the state saw its lowest point in July.

Last year, rooms filled dropped to 4.4 million from 5.5 million in 2015. Occupancy rates were also down 9.1 percentage points and annual revenue was down 16 percent.

In the last two months, the industry rose 11.5 percent compared to the same time period in 2016.

Kelsey Waite, of Smith Travel Research, expects an industry growth equivalent to national rates of 1 percent to 2 percent.

The state’s hotel supply has grown to 24,572 hotel rooms, the equivalent of 9 million available rooms for 2017.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Transit ridership in Bismarck-Mandan took a substantial dip during the winter.

Bis-Man Transit reports ridership was down 28 percent for March compared with the same month last year.

The drop happened while buses were still operating on old routes and before the transit system implemented a new set of routes, going from 12 to six direct, out-and-back routes.

Several members on the Transit Board of Directors said they are concerned, since ridership is expected to drop further as the new routes are implemented. Executive Director Roy Rickert says ridership is then expected to rise again as people get used to the routes.

Rickert says his staff is still trying to determine the reason for the dip in winter ridership.

Valley City   (Mark Potts, VCSU)  Valley City State track and field athletes Lenzel Koskela and Seri Geisler both won individual event titles on Saturday during the Al Cassell Relays in Jamestown.

Koskela ran the top time in the conference this season as he won the men’s 400 meter dash, while Geisler continued her dominant spring with another title in the women’s javelin. Those two performances were among 28 Top 10 finishes for Viking athletes Saturday.

Koskela crossed the 400 meter finish line in a time of 49.99 seconds, which is the top time in the North Star Athletic Association this season. It’s also the fifth fastest 400 time in VCSU history, and the first sub-50 time at VCSU in more than 25 years. Steve Fike was the last Viking athlete to break the 50-second mark at VCSU with his time of 49.55 in 1989.

Geisler won the women’s javelin throw for the fourth time this spring, recording a throw of 46.16 meters on Saturday. She has now won the event in four out of five meets that she has competed at this season. Geisler also set a new school record in the women’s shot put Saturday with a toss of 13.39 meters (43 feet, 11.25 inches). It is the third time Geisler has broken the outdoor shot put school record, extending her school-best mark from earlier this season. She placed fifth in the event Saturday and was the top non-NCAA division I finisher.

Keauna Hansen set a new career-best time in the 200-meter dash as she placed fourth in the event and added a fifth-place finish in the 100. Megan Johnson had a pair of Top 4 finishes, placing second in the high jump and fourth in the long jump. Kaitlin Connor placed third in the women’s triple jump.

On the men’s side, Isaiah Tivis had a pair of Top 5′s in the sprints with a third in the 100 and a fourth in the 200. Garret Roemmich placed third in men’s javelin and Orin Rambow took fourth in the 800. Ellwood Ellenson recorded a career-best throw in the javelin as he finished with two fourth-place finishes in the javelin and men’s triple jump.

“We were fortunate to have several very strong performances due to the nice weather with very little wind,” said head coach Chris Johnson. “It was a great tune-up for us at Jamestown because this is where we will be competing in two weeks for the NSAA conference meet. We will have a very well-rested squad for that competition and I look forward to our student-athletes continuing to step up when it counts.”

Up next: VCSU is scheduled to complete at the Ron Masanz Invitational on May 6 in Moorhead, Minn.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota will become the latest state to allow the killing of North American river otters if the state’s governor signs off.

Game and Fish officials in July will recommend to Gov. Doug Burgum that the state hold a four-month otter trapping season beginning in late November, with a limit of 15 animals.

Experts say the U.S. otter population is thriving thanks to improvements in water quality, reintroduction programs in many states and regulated harvests. Game and Fish biologist Stephanie Tucker says enough otters have moved into eastern North Dakota from Minnesota to warrant a trapping season.

Animal welfare groups worry the expansion of otter trapping in the U.S. and Canada in recent decades isn’t sustainable. But so far there’s no organized effort to oppose North Dakota’s proposal.
