Police were called to a home Saturday where the gunman was reportedly suicidal.   There  was another person in the house, but authorities say the man was not making threats against that person. The Red River Valley tactical officers were deployed and neighborhood streets were barricaded.

The Pembina (PEM’-buh-nuh) County jury found Michael Foster of Seattle guilty Friday of conspiracy to commit criminal mischief, criminal mischief and trespass. Foster was acquitted of reckless endangerment.

Foster’s actions were part of a broader four-state effort last October to draw attention to climate change. Foster did not deny using a bolt cutter to get through a chain link fence so he could turn the pipeline’s shut-off valve. He contended his law-breaking was in the public’s interest.

Samuel Jessup of Winooski, Vermont, who filmed Foster’s protest, also stood trial and was convicted of conspiracy.

Sentencing for both men is scheduled for Jan. 18. Their attorneys did not respond to requests for comment Sunday.

The Bismarck Tribune reports 54-year-old Robert Fool Bear was sentenced Friday in federal court. He was found guilty in April guilty on four counts related to sexual abuse of a child.

Authorities say Fool Bear repeatedly raped the girl for four years. He maintained that the girl made up the story.

A small number of people attended the sentencing hearing, including Fool Bear’s wife, Rhonda Krein Fool Bear.

She signed a plea deal in July with federal prosecutors in which she admitted not alerting law enforcement. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop a charge alleging that she lied at the trial of her husband.

Her sentencing is scheduled for December.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The city of Bismarck has set up a pop-up pathway, a temporary, quick-build pedestrian and bike path stretching from the heart of the city to the Missouri River waterfront.feedback at polling sites along the route through mid-October will be used to design the potential final product, the Bismarck Central Pathway. Quick-builds are gaining traction in communities across the nation.

Temporary materials such as straw bales, paint, traffic cones and wayfinding signs will be used to highlight the route. Existing sidewalks also will be utilized wherever possible.

The pop-up pathway will remain in place until Oct. 14. Materials will be removed and the area will be returned to “normal” as the project moves into the next phase.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Suites for nursing and breastfeeding mothers are being installed in North Dakota airports other facilities through a state Health Department grant to the North Dakota Breastfeeding Coalition.The Minot Daily News reports that the first suite was installed last month in Minot. They cost $16,000 to construct.

BriAnna Wanner is with the coalition. She says the suite is the first of five to be installed at airports in the state.

It has electrical hookups for pumps and phone chargers. The door locks to the outside when the suite is in use and there’s space in the suites to include a young child.

Others are planned in Grand Forks, Bismarck, Fargo and Williston.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — An energy company is seeking federal approval to build a pipeline in eastern Montana that would transport the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide for use in oil production along the North Dakota border.Denbury Resources spokesman John Mayer said the $150 million pipeline would begin near the Wyoming border and stretch 110 miles.

The carbon dioxide would come as a byproduct from a pair of natural gas processing plants.

Carbon dioxide is considered a prime contributor to climate change.

It also can be used to breathe life into old oil fields. Companies pump the gas deep underground in order to push out more oil from tapped out reserves.

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comment on the proposal through November 3.

Texas-based Denbury hasn’t released a construction timeline.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Former tech executive Doug Burgum’s Silicon Valley-styled approach to leading North Dakota government has sparked conflicts with longtime Republican power brokers.The former Microsoft vice president replaced his office desk chair with a wellness ball, frequently wears jeans and assigned subordinates corporate titles. But a looming conflict extends far beyond style.

Lawmakers and the governor may ask the state Supreme Court to sort out their ongoing dispute over vetoes.

Such friction has been rare in North Dakota, so overwhelmingly Republican that Donald Trump carried it by 36 points last year. At the Capitol, the GOP controls more than 80 percent of both chambers.

House Majority Leader Al Carlson said the veto lawsuit might have been avoided with better communication. Burgum says his door is always open.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says his hard-line immigration priorities must be enacted in exchange for extending protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of young immigrants. Trump’s list of demands includes overhauling the country’s green-card system, a crackdown on unaccompanied minors entering the country, and building his promised wall along the southern border. Many are policies Democrats have said explicitly are off the table.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — After bullets began flying into a crowd of country music fans, a pack of 300-plus people ran away to the Las Vegas airport where they kicked down fences, hobbled over razor wire. When airport authorities rushed to confront them, they found people who were shot. Officials tended to the wounded by offering food, water and blankets. By showing that a crowd could topple a fence and run through the airfield, the incident also exposed a security vulnerability at McCarran International Airport.

NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein has been ousted from the film company he co-founded, a swift downfall for a man who once regularly dominated the Academy Awards. Weinstein’s ouster comes three days after The New York Times detailed decades of sexual harassment allegations against the film mogul, prompting him to apologize and commit to being a better person. His company’s board, however, says it was compelled to fire him Sunday based on new information it received about his conduct.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The winner of the Nobel economics prize says the most important impact of his work is “the recognition that economic agents are humans” and money decisions are not made strictly rationally.
