BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The commander of the North Dakota National Guard has been reappointed to a second term.
Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, the North Dakota Guard’s adjutant general, was first appointed in 2015 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
Gov. Doug Burgum reappointed Dohrmann to a six-year term on Wednesday. The appointment is effective in July.
Dohrmann succeeded Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk (sprihn-suh-NAT’-ihk), who retired in 2015 after nine years as adjutant general.
Dohrmann is the state’s 21st adjutant general and oversees more than 4,000 airmen and soldiers in North Dakota.
Dohrmann joined the North Dakota National Guard in 1990 and was appointed deputy adjutant general in 2007. Two years later, he led a force of about 2,200 troops from seven countries as part of a yearlong peacekeeping mission in Kosovo.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — One of the three teens charged in a baseball bat attack near Bismarck has been moved to juvenile court in a rare legal decision.
The 16-year-old was charged as an adult in October with conspiracy to commit murder. He’s one of three teens accused of planning to beat and kill a man with a bat last July at the MacLean Bottoms south of Bismarck. Alessandro Pippia survived the attack.
The Bismarck Tribune says an attorney for the teen, Lloyd Suhr, said he couldn’t comment on specifics of the proceedings because of the confidentiality of juvenile court. But, Suhr says it’s rare for a juvenile case to be transferred to adult court and then remanded
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Texas-based developer said it complied with the terms of a 2017 agreement settling allegations it violated North Dakota rules during construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, but state regulators want more details.
Energy Transfer Partners in October filed documents detailing efforts by a contractor to plant 141,000 trees and shrubs over the past two years to replace those removed for the pipeline. Last spring, the company filed a nearly 80-page industry handbook it developed on how to properly handle pipeline route adjustments.
The tree-planting effort and how-to manual were required by a September 2017 agreement with North Dakota’s Public Service Commission to settle allegations that ETP removed too many trees and that it improperly handled a pipeline route change after discovering Native American artifacts. The artifacts were not disturbed.
The company denied doing anything intentionally wrong and fought disciplinary action by the commission for months . ETP didn’t admit to any liability under the eventual deal with the PSC, which dropped a $15,000 penalty proposed earlier. The commission, under state law, had the authority to levy fines up to $200,000.
A large number of the 141,000 trees and shrubs planted were lost to drought last year, but only about 69,000 plantings were necessary under the state’s requirement that two be planted for every one lost, according to Montana-based KC Harvey Environmental, which did the work. More than 57,000 trees survived or grew naturally, for a rate of 83 percent, exceeding the required 75 percent rate, company Principal Engineer David Cameron said.
“It is expected that regeneration will continue over the next two years, increasing the overall total,” Cameron’s report said.
ARNEGARD, N.D. (AP) — A police officer arrived just in time to help deliver a baby girl along rural road in North Dakota’s oil patch.
Arnegard Officer Travis Bateman jokes that he should have had a catcher’s mitt when he responded to a 911 call last week along McKenzie County Road 30. After just two minutes on the scene Bateman delivered Samantha Hoover’s daughter, Everly, in the front passenger seat of her sister-in-law’s car. A 911 dispatcher gave instructions by phone.
Hoover tells the Bismarck Tribune she was relaxing at home when her contractions started quickly. She says she realized her daughter was on the way as she was walking to the car. Her sister-in-law called 911 on the way to the hospital, but soon knew she had to pull over. That’s when Bateman arrived and delivered Everly.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA is denying that Director Gina Haspel was instructed not to attend a classified briefing with senators dealing with Yemen and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Lawmakers from both parties are expressing frustration over Haspel’s absence from the meeting. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis attended.
CIA press secretary Timothy Barrett says, “The notion that anyone told Director Haspel not to attend today’s briefing is false.”
He says the agency has briefed the Senate intelligence committee and congressional leadership on the “totality” of classified information on the matter and would continue to keep Congress updated.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has threatened to oppose key legislation until the Senate is briefed by the CIA.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has moved steadily to dismantle his predecessors’ efforts against climate-changing coal, oil and gas emissions, even as warnings grow that climate change will have a devastating impact on the U.S. economy as well as the Earth.
Trump has dismissed a national report that climate disasters would cost the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
Nigel Purvis, who worked on climate issues in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, says Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris global climate accord last year has galvanized international support for climate efforts.
The Trump administration’s planned dismantling of Obama-era climate rules includes easing mileage standards on the automobile industry and rolling back efforts to power the nation’s electrical grid with more renewable energy and less climate-altering coal and petroleum.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi has been nominated by House Democrats to lead them in the new Congress, but she still faces a showdown vote for House speaker when lawmakers convene in January.
Pelosi ran unopposed as the nominee for speaker in a closed-door Democratic caucus election Wednesday despite unrest from those clamoring for new leadership.
The California Democrat faces tougher math in January, when she’ll need 218 votes, the majority of the full House, to be elected speaker. House Democrats are taking control with at least a 233-vote majority, but some Democrats have pledged that they won’t back Pelosi for speaker.
Pelosi was the first woman to be speaker — back when Democrats had the House majority from 2007 to 2011. It’s rare to reclaim that post after losing it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ivanka Trump is defending her use of a private email account as she was moving into an adviser’s position in her father’s administration.
The elder daughter of President Donald Trump told ABC News for an interview aired Wednesday that using the private email account when she was transitioning into an administration job cannot be compared to the flap over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Ivanka Trump says her private account emails were archived and contained no classified information. She says she didn’t delete any of them.
The Washington Post reported this month that she used the personal email account to conduct official government business. Republicans and Democrats in Congress say they’re reviewing the situation to make sure she complied with federal records law.
Clinton says she never knowingly emailed classified information.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The breakdown of a plea deal with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a news report about contacts he may have had with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have thrown a new element of uncertainty into the Trump-Russia investigation.
Manafort on Tuesday adamantly denied a Guardian report that he secretly met with Assange around March 2016.
The developments thrust Manafort back into the investigation spotlight, raising new questions about what he knows and what prosecutors say he might be attempting to conceal as they probe Russian election interference and any possible coordination with Trump associates
All the while, Manafort’s lawyers have been briefing Trump’s attorneys on what their client has told investigators, a highly unusual arrangement that could give Trump ammunition in his feud against special counsel Robert Mueller.
