BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Public Service Commission has ordered a businessman to stop receiving or purchasing grain because of bounced checks and unpaid contracts.

The PSC has issued a cease and desist order against Hunter Hanson and his two businesses, Midwest Grain trading and NoDak Grain. Minot Daily News says the order comes as the commission starts insolvency proceedings against the two businesses.

The PSC says more than 50 people have contacted the commission about unpaid contracts or checks that couldn’t be cashed because of insufficient funds.

Midwest Grain Trading is licensed as a roving grain buyer in North Dakota. NoDak Grain is licensed for storage facilities in Rohrville in Ramsey County and Tunbridge in Pierce County.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) —  Three people killed in an air ambulance crash in North Dakota have been hailed as “heroes of the impossible.”

A crowd estimated at up to 1,500 attended a memorial for the victims Monday at the Bismarck Event Center.

The Bismarck Tribune reports members of dozens of North Dakota ambulance services, police and fire departments slowly filed past the front of the memorial for paramedic Chris Iverson, nurse Bonnie Cook and pilot Todd Lasky.

The Rev. Greg Carr of Crisis Care Chaplaincy spoke of the coming together of hospitals, law enforcement, fire and rescue and emergency medical personnel he’s seen in the week since the crash.

The air ambulance was flying to Williston to pick up a patient when it crashed into a farm field shortly after taking off from Bismarck on Nov. 18.

 

Bismarck  (Bismarck Tribune) Hess Corporation plans to donate more than 8,000 toy trucks to North Dakota elementary schools to help incorporate science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, into classrooms.

Liberty Elementary School is the first school in the state to experiment with the new trucks. On Monday, state officials and Hess representatives visited with Marcia Dorrheim’s fourth-grade students, who had set up displays with the trucks and the accompanying ATVs and motorbikes.

The Hess toy trucks have been a Christmas staple since 1964, when the oil and gas company first sold the trucks to families.

Each year, a new model of the truck is developed. But, in 2016, Hess decided it wanted to do something different, according to Mike Turner, the company’s senior vice president of production. Hess partnered with Baylor College of Medicine to develop STEM curriculum to go along with the trucks, which is geared toward grades 4-6.

“We think STEM is a very important part of growth of any individual,” Turner said. “Also, let’s face it: We’re an oil and gas energy company, so STEM is a pretty important part of our job creation that we try to do in North Dakota.”

Turner said North Dakota is a “central hub” for Hess, with more than 500 employees in the state and a long history, as Hess drilled North Dakota’s first oil well in 1951.

“This is our home, so we want to make sure our kids learn, and if they turn into engineers and work for Hess someday, that’d be great,” he said.

 

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The company that wants to build the Keystone XL pipeline is asking a Montana judge to change his order blocking the project so that pre-construction work can continue.Attorneys for TransCanada will argue on Wednesday that U.S. District Judge Brian Morris should clarify or amend his ruling to say the injunction does not apply to activities such as finalizing contracts, purchasing materials, conducting land surveys and discussing federal permits.On Nov. 8, Morris blocked TransCanada’s permit to build the pipeline from Alberta’s oil sands through a half-dozen U.S. states to the Gulf of Mexico.

The judge had ruled the Trump administration had not fully considered the environmental effects of the pipeline.

TransCanada’s attorneys say the company wants to continue preparing for construction while it considers an appeal.

In world and national news…

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A NASA spacecraft has landed on Mars to explore the planet’s interior.

Flight controllers announced that the spacecraft InSight touched down Monday, after a perilous supersonic descent through the red Martian skies. Confirmation came via radio signals that took more than eight minutes to cross the nearly 100 million miles (160 million kilometers) between Mars and Earth.

There was no immediate word on whether the lander was in good working order. NASA satellites around Mars will provide updates.

It is NASA’s eighth successful Mars landing since the 1976 Vikings. The thee-legged, one-armed InSight will operate from the same spot for the next two years. It landed less than 400 miles (600 kilometers) from NASA’s Curiosity rover, which until Monday was the youngest working robot in town.

 

 

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will lay off 14,700 factory and white-collar workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it restructures to cut costs and focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles.

The reduction includes 8,100 white-collar workers, some of whom will take buyouts and others who will be laid off. Most of the affected factories build cars that won’t be sold in the U.S. after next year. They could close or they could get different vehicles to build. They will be part of contract talks with the United Auto Workers union next year.

Plants without products include assembly plants in Detroit; Lordstown, Ohio; and Oshawa, Ontario. Also affected are transmission factories in Warren, Michigan, as well as Baltimore.

About 6,000 factory workers could lose jobs in the U.S. and Canada, although some could transfer to truck plants.

 

 

MOSCOW (AP) — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has told lawmakers that the martial law introduced in the country will only affect regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Moldova’s breakaway republic of Trans-Dniester.

Ahead of the parliamentary vote that overwhelmingly supported his motion for a 30-day period of martial law, Poroshenko said martial law will only affect ten of Ukraine’s 27 regions. The regions picked are the ones that he identified as potentially in the front-line of any Russian strike.

Tensions between the two countries escalated Sunday when Russia fired on and seized three Ukrainian vessels and their crews.

Poroshenko also pledged to respect the rights of Ukrainian citizens.

Martial law will include a partial mobilization and strengthening of the country’s air defense. The measures before parliament also included vaguely worded steps such as “strengthening” anti-terrorism measures and “information security.”

 

 

 

HONG KONG (AP) — More than 100 scientists have signed a petition calling for greater oversight on gene editing experiments after a researcher in China claimed he altered the DNA of twin girls born earlier this month.

He Jiankui of Southern University of Science and Technology of China says he did it to try to help the babies resist possible future HIV infection. His claim could not be independently confirmed.

He’s school says it would hire experts to investigate, saying the work “seriously violated academic ethics and standards.”

A spokesman for He confirmed that he has been on leave from teaching since early this year, but he remains on the faculty and has a lab at the university.

Shenzhen city authorities where He’s lab is located has also launched a medical and ethics investigation.

 

 

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan says 69 migrants were arrested on the California side of the border after trying to cross from Tijuana to the U.S. during a confrontation where agents fired tear gas.

He says nearly 1,000 people rushed vehicle lanes and went around the border crossing to try to get into the U.S. on Sunday. He says some threw rocks and bottles at U.S. agents, but there was no report of violence Monday.

McAleenan says the Border Patrol’s use of force policy allows agents to use tear gas, but the incident would be reviewed. He said the “dangerous situation” was resolved without serious injury.

Mexico’s National Migration Institute said that 98 migrants were being deported after they tried to breach the U.S. border.
