NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — The family of a missing North Dakota woman says the Bureau of Indian Affairs is taking over the investigation into her disappearance.

Olivia Lone Bear has been missing from New Town for three months. The 33-year-old mother of five was last seen leaving a New Town restaurant Oct. 24.

Nedra Darling, a BIA spokeswoman, says Lone Bear’s family and the Three Affiliated Tribes asked BIA to take over the investigation. Lone Bear’s brother Matthew, who has led volunteer efforts to find Olivia, called it “a step in the right direction.”

Lone Bear was last seen driving a teal 2011 Chevrolet Silverado truck with North Dakota license plate 839 BRC.

A $21,000 reward has been offered in the case.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Work is expected to begin this spring on a new riverside restaurant and event center in Bismarck.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that the Heritage River Landing will replace the void left by demolition following the 2011 Missouri River flood. The planned 4,400-square-foot (409-square-meter) community event space will house a seasonal bar, restaurant and patio for outdoor dining in the summer. The space will also include interactive kiosks about the area’s history and a gift shop with ticket sales for the Lewis and Clark Riverboat.

The Missouri Valley Heritage Alliance is developing the building and has raised $750,000 for the project, which is halfway to its goal of $1.5 million.

The alliance hopes to complete construction by the end of the year and host a grand opening in early to mid-2019.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Two more deer in a southwestern North Dakota hunting unit have tested positive for chronic wasting disease. But state wildlife officials remain optimistic they can keep the deadly ailment from spreading throughout the state.

Eleven cases have been confirmed in the unit since 2009. All but one are clustered in a tiny part of the 2,900-square-mile unit.

The Game and Fish Department says carcass transportation restrictions and a baiting ban seem to be keeping the disease isolated there.

The agency also restricts the movement of deer carcasses into North Dakota from other CWD-infested states.

That can’t stop live infected animals moving in on their own. But documented CWD areas in neighboring states all are far from the North Dakota border.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Crestwood Equity Partners has paid a $49,000 fine to the Environmental Protection Agency for a pipeline leak in 2014 that spilled 1 million gallons of produced water on the Fort Berthold Reservation and contaminated Lake Sakakawea.

The Bismarck Tribune reports the EPA also ordered Crestwood to provide the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation with at least $173,000 in spill-response equipment.

Cleanup efforts are ongoing at the site near Mandaree. Crestwood is following an EPA-approved remediation plan that requires the company to install five groundwater monitoring wells.

The company estimates the pipeline leaked for five days before the spill was discovered in July 2014. The spill traveled through a ravine, with about 10,500 gallons of produced water, a waste byproduct of oil production, reaching Bear Den Bay of Lake Sakakawea.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company that proposed an oilfield waste facility in McKenzie County has withdrawn its application after citizens raised concerns about the location.

Waste Management of North Dakota was seeking a radioactive materials handling license from state officials for the proposed Tobacco Garden Processing Facility.

The Bismarck Tribune says a North Dakota Department of Health radiation control manager, Dale Patrick, says the company plans to look at alternatives to the site. Local officials raised concerns about the proximity of the site to the Tobacco Garden aquifer.

The company wanted to dispose of waste about a mile underground.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Agriculture Department is allowing border-area applicators of the controversial weed killer dicamba to do their mandatory training in Minnesota or South Dakota.

But the agency says applicators will need to carry evidence of the training in the field and be prepared to provide it to inspectors upon demand.

Non-resident applicators seeking a North Dakota pesticide certification also are being allowed to submit evidence of dicamba-specific training in another state with their application.

New federal rules classify dicamba as a restricted-use herbicide, and applicators are required to undergo training. The new rules are in response to complaints around the country of dicamba drift damaging neighboring crops.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has more cattle and sheep than it did a year ago.

New reports from the federal Agriculture Department show 1.86 million cattle and calves in the state on Jan. 1, up 2 percent from last year at the same time.

Sheep and lambs totaled 70,000 head, up 4,000 from last year.

The 2017 calf crop totaled 960,000 head, up 5 percent from 2016. Last year’s lamb crop totaled 49,000 head, down 2,000.

 

 

ROLLA, N.D. (AP) — Drivers along a northern North Dakota highway can now pull over to take in the sight of fairy tale-like Coghlan Castle and learn about its history.

A newly-installed panel off Highway 30 tells the story of Rolla’s Coghlan Castle, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

The Minot Daily News reports that nonprofit Save Coghlan Castle received an $8,000 grant from the North Dakota Historical Society to complete the panel, which was installed late last year.

The panel shares the history of Coghlan Castle, which was a family home built by an Irish immigrant in 1909. The two-story dwelling made for a particularly grand house at the time, including stained glass parlor windows, hot running water and a turret like a castle.

SUPER BOWL  LII

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nick Foles engineered the type of Super Bowl-winning drive that made Tom Brady famous and then watched his defense seal the victory in the most prolific offensive game in NFL history. The Philadelphia Eagles won their first NFL championship since 1960 with a 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots, with Foles winning MVP in a season that started with him as a backup.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — So many times this season New England’s defense made plays when it had to give Tom Brady and the Patriots offense a chance to win. But it couldn’t figure out the Philadelphia Eagles in its 41-33 Super Bowl loss. The 41 points New England allowed were more than they have given up in any Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick era. It also surrendered 538 total yards, including 373 through the air to MVP Nick Foles.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The stage was set for another dramatic Super Bowl comeback for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. That’s when Brandon Graham delivered one of the few defensive highlights in the most prolific offensive playoff game in NFL history, ripping the ball out of Brady’s hands for a fumble that gave the Philadelphia Eagles their first Super Bowl title in franchise history with a 41-33 victory.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Tom Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for 500-plus yards, three or more touchdown passes and no interceptions and still lose. That’s what happened to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52, where they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 41-33. Brady’s career record in the big game dropped to 5-3.

NFL-COLTS PLAYER KILLED…

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts say linebacker Edwin Jackson was one of two men killed when a suspected drunken driver struck them as they stood outside their car along a highway in Indianapolis.

The Colts said in a statement Sunday that the team is “heartbroken” by Jackson’s death. The statement says the 26-year-old “was loved by all in the Colts organization.”

State police identified the victims as Jackson and 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe, of Avon, Indiana. Authorities say the driver that struck them before dawn on Sunday tried to flee on foot but was quickly captured. Toxicology results are pending.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Gary Woodland parred the first playoff hole to beat Chez Reavie (REE’-vee) and win the PGA’s Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Woodland birdied three of the last four holes of regulation for a 7-under 64, the best round of the day. He was 18 under for the tournament.

Reavie made a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th to force the PGA Tour’s fourth straight playoff and the event’s third overtime finish in a row.

Brendan Steele and Ollie Schniederjans tied for third at 15 under, one shot in front of Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar (KOO’-chur), Chesson Hadley and Bryson DeChambeau.

 

 

WORLD CUP-WOMEN’S DOWNHILL

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Lindsey Vonn claimed her 81st career victory by capturing the final women’s World Cup downhill in Germany before the Pyeongchang Olympics.

It was the American’s third straight triumph in the discipline after winning on the same hill the day before and in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, two weeks ago.

Vonn’s American teammate Stacey Cook crashed and was taken off the hill on a sled, but the U.S. ski team says she “is OK.” Another teammate, Jacqueline Wiles, damaged her left knee in a crash Saturday and was ruled out of the Olympics.

 

In world and national news…

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Members of Pope Francis’ sex-abuse commission and a Chilean victim tell The Associated Press that Francis received a 2015 letter graphically detailing abuse and a cover-up by church authorities. That contradicts the pope’s recent insistence on a trip to South America that no victims had come forward about the cover-up, in a case that has shaken his 5-year-old papacy.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Philadelphia’s Nick Foles has guided the Eagles to a 41-33 Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. No quarterback has gone from backup to title game MVP in one season since Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe in the 2001 season. Foles topped the 40-year-old Brady, football’s greatest winner, in the most prolific offensive game in NFL history, engineering the type of game-winning drive that made Brady famous.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Twelve people were taken to the hospital and six people were arrested during a post-Super Bowl disturbance at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A university spokesman says about 2,000 people gathered outdoors at the Southwest Residential Area after the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 on Sunday night. Campus police says fights broke out, the crowd threw objects and set off smoke bombs and firecrackers. No names were released.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian activists say at least 23 civilians have been killed in intense government airstrikes on a rebel-held suburb near Damascus. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says waves of airstrikes have hit at least five neighborhoods in the Eastern Ghouta suburb, the only remaining rebel stronghold near the capital, Damascus.

BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi government spokesman has confirmed to The Associated Press that the drawdown of American forces from Iraq has begun following Baghdad’s declaration of victory over the Islamic State group. Government spokesman Saad al-Hadithi says “the battle against Daesh has ended and so the level of the American presence will be reduced.” Daesh is the Arabic language acronym for IS. He says the drawdown is still in its early stages.
