Bismarck  (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol is urging all motorists to travel with care Thursday  and Friday  High winds are expected across the state, while winter storm conditions are possible in eastern North Dakota.

During inclement weather, high-profile, long-load type, and permitted over dimensional vehicles have restricted travel. North Dakota law restricts movement for these vehicles when wind or other conditions may cause the vehicle or attachment to swerve, whip, sway, or fail to follow in the path of the towing vehicle.

Federal regulations direct the operators of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) to reduce speeds when hazardous conditions such as snow, ice, sleet, fog, mist, rain, dust or smoke adversely affect visibility or traction. These same regulations direct CMV drivers to cease operations altogether if conditions become sufficiently dangerous, such as during a no travel advisory.

For more information, visit nd.gov/ndhp or contact the NDHP Motor Carrier Division at 701-328-5128.

FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) — The FBI says a suspect was shot dead after a confrontation with officers of the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

The FBI’s Minneapolis Division says BIA officers assigned to the reservation responded to a call of shots fired at a gas station Monday. After a short vehicle chase, BIA officers tried to take the suspect into custody. During the incident, the BIA shot and killed the suspect.

FBI agents were called to the scene. No other details were released.

An investigation is pending. The Standing Rock Reservation straddles the North Dakota and South Dakota border.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A jury has convicted a Bismarck man accused of firing a shotgun at a law enforcement officer during a 15-hour standoff two years ago.

Jurors deliberated about 90 minutes Wednesday before delivering a guilty verdict for 38-year-old Brandon Lyon on charges of attempted murder, terrorizing and illegally possessing a weapon. He could face up to 35 years in prison.

Lyon took the stand and made his own closing argument. He told the jury he had no intention of hurting anyone. A judge has ordered a pre-sentence evaluation.

 

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota  Public Utilities Commission has canceled public hearings scheduled this week in St. Cloud on Enbridge Energy’s proposal to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.

In a news release, the PUC says the city of St. Cloud advised the commission of “logistical and safety issues” related to many events being held Thursday at River’s Edge Convention Center.

The commission is reviewing options for rescheduling the two hearings in St. Cloud.

Last week, protesters cut short a hearing in Duluth on the Line 3 project.

Tribal and environmental groups say the project threatens pristine waters where wild rice grows.

Enbridge and its supporters say Line 3 is a needed piece of infrastructure, and that replacing it will make it safer while creating jobs.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An oil and gas trade association is seeking to highlight what it says is an increase in protester attacks on energy infrastructure such as oil pipelines.

The Energy Equipment and Infrastructure Alliance announced an online database Wednesday. It catalogues incidents of what the group calls “eco-terrorism, sabotage, arson, vandalism and violence.”

Greenpeace USA Executive Director Annie Leonard calls it “more fear-mongering by corporate bullies hoping to see what they can get away with in Trump’s America.”

The announcement comes two days after a bipartisan group of 84 members of Congress sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions expressing concern about recent incidents.

The mounting pressure comes as protests against energy projects have spread across the country in the wake of last year’s large-scale protests in North Dakota against the Dakota Access pipeline.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is planning a visit to North Dakota.

U.S. Sen. John Hoeven says Pence will visit Minot Air Force Base on Friday.

Hoeven is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and co-chairman of the Senate Air Force Caucus. He and Pence will review the Minot base’s nuclear missions.

The base is home to B-52 bombers and also oversees Intercontinental Ballistic Missile silos throughout the North Dakota countryside.

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Defense Secretary James Mattis visited the Minot base earlier this month.

 

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven has announced that the United States Senate has again honored the men and women of the United States’ armed forces who are deployed by designating today, October 26th as the “Day of the Deployed.”

Hoeven says, “Deployed service members and their loved ones make untold sacrifices in the service of our nation,. Today, on the Day of the Deployed, we honor those Americans who have left the comforts of home to bravely and willingly answer the call to serve. We pay tribute to these brave men and women, along with their families, and thank them for the many sacrifices they make on our behalf.”

More than 2 million individuals currently serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, including those in the active duty, Guard and Reserve components. Several hundred thousand members are deployed each year to 150 countries around the world.

As Governor of North Dakota, Hoeven launched the first Day of the Deployed on October 26, 2006. Hoeven has continued to spearhead the effort in the U.S. Senate, and in 2011 he sponsored the first Senate resolution calling for a national Day of the Deployed.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Contractors are putting the final touches on Ward County’s $38 million jail expansion, with approvals from building inspectors expected early next month.

The project manager says it will be completed this fall with the exception of a small bit of landscaping to be done next spring. Remodeling of the existing jail also should be completed by spring.

Adolphson and Peterson Construction hopes to obtain a certificate of occupancy as early as Nov. 1. Sheriff Bob Barnard says the new facility won’t be taking inmates until about mid-December, after staff training is complete.

The project will increase jail capacity from 104 beds to 300 beds.

WORLD SERIES…

 

UNDATED (AP) — The Houston Astros climbed out of a two-run hole on Wednesday, then blew a two-run lead in extra innings before knotting the World Series at a game apiece.

George Springer unloaded a two-run homer off Brandon McCarthy in the 11th inning to lift the Astros past the Dodgers, 7-6 in Los Angeles. Cameron Maybin started the rally with a leadoff single and stole second before scoring on Houston’s fourth home run since the ninth inning.

The Astros stormed back from a 3-1 deficit, tying the game on a solo shot by Marwin Gonzalez in the ninth before Josh Fields served up back-to-back homers by Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) and Carlos Correa in the top of the 10th. Yasiel Puig (YAH’-see-ul pweeg) countered with a solo blast leading off the bottom of the 10th, but Houston was one out from a 5-4 win until Enrique Hernandez poked an RBI single to extend the game.

Joc Pederson and Corey Seager also went deep for the Dodgers, who were coming off a 3-1 victory in the opener.

Astros starter Justin Verlander had a no-hitter until Pederson’s solo shot in the fifth inning. Verlander also surrendered Seager’s two-run homer but no other hits in his six innings of work.

Winning pitcher Chris Devenski worked out of the 10th-inning jam but gave up Charlie Culberson’s blast in the 11th before closing out the win, striking out Puig to end it.

The teams set a World Series record by combining for eight home runs, six coming in the last three innings. Each team had four homers, but the Dodgers were outhit 14-5.

Astros manager A.J. Hinch has announced his starting pitchers for the next two games, saying Lance McCullers will pitch Friday and Charlie Morton will take the mound Saturday. The two were outstanding in Game 7 of the AL Championship, combining on a three-hit shutout in a 4-0 win over the Yankees.

Yu Darvish is slated to start Game 3 for the Dodgers, followed by Alex Wood.
