T. ANTHONY, Idaho (AP) — Eastern Idaho officials have identified a North Dakota man killed in a snowmobile crash.
The Fremont County sheriff’s office in a news release Monday says 32-year-old Wayne Halverson of Wishek died Saturday in Island Park when he went off a trail and ran into a tree.
Officials say other snowmobilers and emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but Halverson was pronounced dead at about 8:30 p.m.
Halverson is the fourth snowmobiler to die in eastern Idaho this year. The other three deaths were caused by avalanches.
Bismarck (CSi) – In Accordance with President Trump, Gov. Doug Burgum has directed all government agencies to fly the United States and North Dakota flags at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Friday, March 2, as a mark of respect for the memory of Reverend Billy Graham.
Individuals and businesses also are encouraged to fly the flags at half-staff during the same time period.
The governor’s directive is in accordance with a proclamation issued by President Donald Trump to lower flags to half-staff on March 2 for the interment of Graham.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A judge will decide whether charges of endangering a vulnerable adult should move forward against two former North Dakota nurses, who are accused of stealing prescribed drugs for hospice patients.
Attorneys disagree over whether those charges against former Trinity Hospice nurses, Kim Kochel and April Beckler, should stand because of the victims’ ages. Documents show the state alleges the victim was over 60 years old, but a defense attorney notes that changed statute language requires a “vulnerable adult” to be 65 years old or over.
The Minot Daily News reports that an affidavit says the Minot nurses are accused of stealing the drugs between 2012 and 2014. Each woman is charged with endangering a vulnerable adult, property theft and conspiring to steal drugs.
An arraignment is scheduled for March 27.

In world and national news…
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — A Florida House committee responded to the Parkland school shootings by approving a bill that would raise the minimum age to buy any gun, require a three-day waiting period for rifle purchases and create a program that could allow some teachers to carry concealed weapons in the classroom.
The 23-6 vote Tuesday followed more than four hours of emotional discussion, including from parents of some of the 17 killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day.
Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a former Parkland vice mayor, said he didn’t like the bill, but still voted for it. He explained, “It doesn’t go far enough, and now it goes too far in other areas. But the NRA opposes it and I will not vote with the NRA.”
His views reflected many of those who testified before the committee, saying they wanted a ban on assault rifles that the committee rejected, and that they opposed the idea of arming teachers.
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — Following school shootings like the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, administrators reach out to former Columbine High principal Frank DeAngelis. There’s no book to teach what he learned after gunmen killed 12 of his students and a teacher in 1999.
He told Stoneman Douglas administrators there should be no balloons at their welcome back ceremony Wednesday, because some popped at Columbine’s, sending students diving for cover. He said substitutes should be onsite in case teachers need time to recompose themselves. He also advises changing the sound of the fire alarm, which got pulled at both Columbine and Stoneman Douglas during the shootings. Otherwise, it will cause panic.
DeAngelis says everyone must understand that they must redefine what’s normal, because survivors will never return to what they were before the shooting.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions says Justice Department officials think they can ban rapid-fire bump stock devices without action from Congress.
Sessions said Tuesday the department believes gun accessories like the ones used in last year’s Las Vegas massacre can be banned through the regulatory process. It comes after President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to work toward banning the devices, which allow semi-automatic rifles to mimic machine guns.
ATF officials have previously said they can’t ban the devices unless Congress amends existing law or passes a new one. ATF approved the devices in 2010, finding they didn’t amount to machine guns, which are prohibited under federal law.
Sessions says “we’ve had to deal with previous ATF legal opinions,” but Justice officials are forging ahead toward a ban.
NEW YORK (AP) — FedEx says it’s sticking with the NRA and has not asked to be removed from the organization’s website where members are offered corporate discounts.
The Memphis, Tennessee, delivery company says it differs with the NRA and believes weapons like the AR-15 assault-style rifle that was used to kill 17 people in Florida shouldn’t be owned by civilians.
But, it maintains that it is a common carrier, and will not deny service based on political views or policy positions.
More than a dozen major U.S. companies have ended business partnerships with the National Rifle Association as public pressure builds following the Parkland, Florida massacre. They include Metlife, Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Best Western, and Wyndham, Delta, and United Airlines, among others.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s longtime aide Hope Hicks is scheduled to meet with the House intelligence committee Tuesday for a closed-door interview as part of the panel’s Russia investigation.
That’s according to a person familiar with the panel’s investigation, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
Hicks is a key eyewitness to Trump’s actions over the past several years. She was his spokeswoman during the 2016 presidential campaign and is White House communications director.
It’s unclear how much Hicks will tell the committee. Others who have worked at the White House have refused to answer questions, citing limits on what they can say. The panel is investigating contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia, as is special counsel Robert Mueller.
