BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have seized a load of marijuana from a pickup pulled over on Interstate 94 in North Dakota.
A Highway Patrol trooper stopped the pickup traveling east on the interstate Wednesday for exceeding the speed limit and illegally tinted windows.
During the stop, the trooper smelled marijuana coming from the pickup. A search of the vehicle found 30 pounds (14 kilograms) of marijuana, a small amount of hashish and $1,100 in cash.
Authorities say the two suspects were traveling from Portland, Oregon, to Pittsburgh. The suspects face charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of hashish and possession of drug paraphernalia.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Trial has been scheduled in late February for a Minot woman accused of helping a man hold their roommate against his will in a dispute over unpaid rent.
The Minot Daily News reports that prosecutors have dropped felony robbery and accomplice counts against 21-year-old T’Anna Beede, but she still faces a misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment charge.
Authorities allege Taylor Laducer, of Williston, and Beede on May 18 drove the roommate into the country, where Laducer assaulted him with a bat and brass knuckles. They then allegedly left him by the side of the road in the middle of the night.
Laducer pleaded guilty in August to reduced misdemeanor charges of unlawful imprisonment and assault. He was sentenced to the three months he had already served behind bars and 1 ½ years of probation.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A $21 million bridge replacement project in Minot is complete.
The Minot Daily News reports that officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday for the new Broadway Bridge.
The bridge is on the main north-south artery through the city, spanning two railroads and the Souris River. About 30,000 vehicles use it each day.
It includes new LED lighting to match the downtown and an enhanced walkway for pedestrians and bikes. Mayor Shaun Sipma called the new bridge a “monumental milestone.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota oil industry leaders are pushing to loosen the state’s oil conditioning regulations, but an environmental group is arguing to tighten rules.
The North Dakota Industrial Commission is considering changing regulations adopted nearly four years ago to make Bakken crude oil safer for rail transportation after fiery train derailments, the Bismarck Tribune reported. Under the regulations, companies must remove the most volatile gases from Bakken crude oil to ensure vapor pressure doesn’t exceed 13.7 pounds per square inch.
Companies must report vapor pressure tests to regulators quarterly.
About 60,000 vapor pressure tests have been submitted, and of those, about one in 1,000 exceeded the threshold, according to North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms.
The commission is looking into reducing how often companies have to submit vapor pressure tests to regulators.
The North Dakota Petroleum Council urged the commission at a hearing Tuesday to change the rules so that tests should be submitted annually, instead of quarterly.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — For the first time this year, a monthly survey of bankers in parts of 10 Plains and Western states indicates the regional rural economy is shrinking.
The overall index of the Rural Mainstreet survey for November sank to 49.9, the first time it’s dipped below 50 since January and down from October’s 54.3. Any score above 50 suggests a growing economy in the months ahead, while a score below 50 indicates a shrinking economy.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says the farm sector continues to be weakened by tariffs and low commodity prices.
Jeffrey Gerhart, CEO of the Bank of Newman Grove in northeastern Nebraska, says the tariffs are affecting farmers’ income and are “bad policy from the White House.”
Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming were surveyed.

College Women’s Basketball….
MOORHEAD, MINN. (VCSU) – Valley City State withstood a late rally by Concordia College on Thursday night, hanging on for a 74-69 women’s basketball victory in Moorhead.
The Vikings led by as many as 19 points in the third quarter before the Cobbers pulled to within two points in the final minute. Kate Williams made a free throw to put VCSU up 72-69 with 14 seconds left, and then Alli Vandal created a steal off the ensuing inbounds and scored on a breakaway layup to ice the victory.
VCSU improves to 3-4 overall this season. Concordia drops to 1-2.
Valley City State held Concordia College to just five second-quarter points as the Vikings built a 12-point halftime lead and led the rest of the way. The Vikings led just 23-21 after a high-paced first quarter, but VCSU outscored the Cobbers 15-5 in the second quarter to open up a 38-26 halftime lead. VCSU shot 58 percent in the first half, including a 7-for-11 performance from 3-point range that buoyed the Viking offense.
The Vikings led by as many as 19 points at 49-30 after opening the second half on an 11-4 run. VCSU maintained its double-digit lead throughout the third quarter, but the Cobbers nailed a 3-pointer to beat the third-quarter buzzer and then opened the fourth on an 8-2 run to pull within 58-52 with 7:55 remaining.
Out of a timeout, Alexis Bentz knocked down a 13-foot jumper for the Vikings to stem the tide, and VCSU pushed the lead up to 10 points again. Concordia’s Amber Lingen responded with back-to-back 3-pointers late in the game as Concordia inched back to within four points at 71-67. Mira Ellefson scored on a breakaway layup with 27 seconds left to close to within 71-69, but the Vikings hung on for the win thanks to Vandal’s late steal and layup.
Mackenzie Huber had 17 points and seven rebounds to lead three Vikings in double figures. Kate Williams led the team with 10 first-half points and finished with 16 points, six assists and three steals. Vandal posted 12 points and seven rebounds. Five other Vikings finished with at least five points in the game.
Valley City shot 52 percent from the field (26-50), 42 percent from 3-point range (8-19) and 74 percent at the line (14-19). Williams made three 3-pointers for the Vikings, while Dierra Diegel and Hannah Schlecht each knocked down two 3’s. Concordia finished at 43 percent overall (23-54), 39 percent on 3’s (11-28) and was a perfect 12-for-12 at the free throw line.
Mira Ellefson and Amber Lingen both poured in 22 points to lead the Cobbers. Lingen went 6-for-9 on 3-pointers, helping to pull the Cobbers close in the final seconds.
Thursday night’s game was VCSU’s seventh straight road contest. The start of the game was delayed about 45 minutes after an afternoon snowstorm led to slick roads and slowed VCSU’s travel. Valley City State’s original charter bus went in the ditch on its way to pick up the team in Valley City, delaying the team’s departure from Valley City and causing the later start time.
The Vikings will be back home Tuesday night when they host Bemidji State University.
Up next: Valley City State hosts Bemidji State University on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Tip off is set for 6 p.m. at The Bubble. Valley City State University will be conducting a food drive for the local food bank that night. Every donation of a non-perishable food item is good for $1 off your admission.

Rockets dropping Anthony
UNDATED (AP) — Carmelo Anthony’s stint with the Houston Rockets has lasted just 10 games.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has released a statement saying the team is “parting ways” with the 10-time All-Star forward and “working toward a resolution.” Morey added that Anthony had a tremendous approach while with the Rockets and accepted every role head coach Mike D’Antonio gave him, but the fit they envisioned never materialized.
Anthony signed a one-year, $2.4 million deal during the offseason after being traded by the Thunder to Atlanta before his contract was bought out by the Hawks. He averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds for Houston.
Anthony is third among active NBA players with 25,551 points, and 19th in league history.
Also around the NBA:
— Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (RAH’-zhahn RAHN’-doh) is expected to undergo surgery this week on his broken right hand, keeping him out of the lineup for at least a few weeks.

Rondo is averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in his first season with Los Angeles.
— Ashley Moyer-Gleich and Natalie Sago are among five officials who have been promoted by the NBA to full-time status, making them the fourth and fifth women in league history to have that designation.
