BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department is cautioning water enthusiasts to beware of potential safety hazards due to high water levels on the Missouri River.Chief Game Warden Robert Timian says high water can inundate sandbars, and bring a stronger current, additional debris and the potential for boating traffic to create large waves on the shoreline.The river level is expected to remain high through the summer due to higher-than-normal releases from Garrison Dam upstream because of a large amount of runoff in the basin. May runoff into Montana’s Fort Peck and North Dakota’s Lake Sakakawea reservoirs was the second-highest on record.Timian says the high water level means that most of the river is useable for navigation, so boaters shouldn’t have any problems maneuvering in the main channel. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Army National Guard soldiers will be training on and near the Missouri River south of Bismarck this weekend.The Kimball Bottoms recreational area will be closed to the public from 11 a.m. Friday through 4 p.m. Sunday so the 957th Engineer Company can train.More than 120 soldiers will be conducting land training and boating and bridging operations on the water.The river in the area will remain open, but boaters are urged to use caution. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Dakota Resource Council is suing the developer of a proposed oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

The environmental group is challenging the zoning permit Meridian Energy Group received from Billings County for the Davis Refinery, saying in part the one-year term of the permit has expired.

Meridian declined comment. Billings County zoning director Stacey Swanson tells The Bismarck Tribune the county’s position is the one-year time frame starts with the state’s approval of construction. That happened this week.

The state says a 1 ½-year review determined the refinery won’t negatively impact the park. Several national and regional conservation groups doubt that and are opposing the project.

The refinery still needs state water and wastewater permits, and will need to prove once it’s built that it meets air quality standards.

 

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The foundation working to build a Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota is at odds with the state’s university system.

The foundation’s board last month decided to scrap a plan to build a museum at Theodore Roosevelt National Park and a library at Dickinson State University. The whole project will now be at the park.

That means the project no longer needs campus land for which the foundation negotiated a 99-year, dollar-a-year lease in 2016.

The foundation wants to terminate the lease, but the state Board of Higher Education wants more than $91,000 — mostly to enable the university to rebuild rodeo grounds it abandoned to make way for the library.

Foundation board attorney Murray Sagsveen says he’s confident an agreement can be worked out.

DSU President Thomas Mitzel wasn’t available for comment.

 

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota will limit the number of electronic pull tab machines a business may have to 10.

The Legislature’s Administrative Rules Committee unanimously approved the new rules on Thursday.

Pull tabs or “rippies” are paper tickets that a player buys and opens to see whether the ticket offers a prize. They account for a majority of the wagers at North Dakota charitable gambling outlets.Data shows players bought about $148 million worth of paper pull tabs last year.

The Legislature last year approved the use of electronic pull tabs and the North Dakota attorney general’s office crafted rules for their use. Backers of the electronic pull tabs say they will not replace the paper tickets. Officials expect the electronic pull tab machines to be running by late summer

 

 

 

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — An attorney for an organization opposing the Keystone XL oil pipeline says the “fight is not over” after the South Dakota Supreme Court dismissed a legal appeal from project foes.

Robin Martinez, an attorney for conservation and family agriculture group Dakota Rural Action, said Thursday the high court’s decision is “disappointing.” But Martinez says the organization is regrouping and evaluating its options.

A TransCanada Corp. spokesman says the pipeline developer is pleased with the ruling, which found the courts lacked jurisdiction to hear pipeline foes’ cases and dismissed their appeal.

The Cheyenne River Sioux and Yankton Sioux tribes and Dakota Rural Action appealed to the high court after a judge affirmed state regulators’ approval for the pipeline.

It would move crude oil from Canada across Montana and South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines feeding refineries along the Gulf Coast.

The Indians announced the moves prior to Thursday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.

Cabrera hit .207 with 11 RBIs in 17 games. With Guyer back and outfielder Tyler Naquin just about ready to return from a hamstring strain, manager Terry Francona says the Indians “didn’t see a way we were going to be able to keep” him.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — China says it will retaliate against any move by the U.S. to impose punishing tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of Chinese goods. President Donald Trump was expected to impose tariffs on at least $35 billion to $40 billion of Chinese imports. Beijing has drawn up a list of U.S. products that would face retaliatory tariffs, and a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Friday that China would respond immediately.WASHINGTON (AP) — An inspector general report condemning the FBI’s actions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation blasts former FBI Director James Comey but denies total vindication to the president who fired him. The 500-page document stops far short of endorsing the attacks levied at Comey for the last year by President Donald Trump. He has alleged that a politically tainted FBI tried to undermine his campaign, but the report found nothing to suggest that political preferences influenced the investigation.WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is over, details are being revealed about the bizarre behind-the-scenes negotiations that led up to the history-making event. Planners were required to accommodate confounding requests as well as paranoia. And the North Koreans even questioned whether the U.S.’ official photographer was a spy.SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — After being blindsided by President Donald Trump’s decision to shelve major U.S. military exercises in South Korea, Seoul appears to be going along with it.
