Fire Danger Map for North Dakota
Fargo (NDSU) – The North Dakota State University men’s basketball program has signed four student-athletes to its 2020 recruiting class, head coach David Richman announced Wednesday.
Boden Skunberg from Jamestown Hign School, has been a four-year starter in his high school career, averaging 25 points, six rebounds and four assists per game as a junior last season. He earned all-conference and first-team all-state recognition as a junior, helping to lead Jamestown to an undefeated state championship season.
“Boden is an extremely talented scorer, who can score in a variety of ways and has a knack for making big plays,” said Richman. “He loves the game and is constantly working to get better. We knew early he would be a great fit, and we are looking forward to his future as a Bison.”
Donald Carter III, a guard from Minneapolis, Minn.; Grant Nelson, a forward from Devils Lake, N.D.; Boden Skunberg, a guard from Jamestown, N.D.; and Grayson Haman, a guard from Fargo, N.D., will continue their education and compete at North Dakota State.
“We are thrilled with adding these four young men to the Bison Family, and especially excited about three of them joining us from our state,” said Richman. “They all come from programs with great coaches who have helped prepare them for their future success.”
Carter (Scottsdale Community College) started all 30 games last season as a freshman at Scottsdale CC in Arizona, averaging 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists while shooting 49 percent overall. Originally from Minneapolis, Carter has spent the past six years in the Phoenix area and will come to NDSU with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“Donald is a tough, physical lead guard that has won everywhere he has been,” said Richman. “He’s a great young man who truly loves the game and is a great competitor and leader.”
Nelson (Devils Lake HS) averaged 16 points, 12 rebounds, and five blocks per game as a junior last season, earning all-conference and second-team all-state honors. He holds the Devils Lake school records for blocks in a season and career, and is also a state placewinner in the high jump.
“Grant is a long and athletic player who has a very diverse skillset, and he can play inside or out depending on what the game situation dictates,” Richman said. “He just continues to get better every time we see him, and he has a bright future at NDSU.”
Haman (Fargo Davies HS) looks to have an expanded role as a senior for Davies HS after averaging six points, four rebounds and two assists for the EDC champions and state runners-up as a junior last season.
“Grayson has a great frame and is a little bit of a late bloomer,” Richman said. “He continues to get better, and his hunger and passion for the game will be a great addition to our program.”
“We are excited to add these four to our program, but just as excited to add their great families to the Bison Family,” Richman continued. “These young men are great people who will represent our university in a first-class manner on the court, in the community, and in the classroom.”

Residents are receiving scam calls soliciting money for the Valley City Fire Department.
Valley City (CSi) Valley City Fire Chief Scott Magnuson is advising the public about a phone scam concerning raising funds for the fire department.
He says there are no phone or door to door monetary solicitations on behalf of the fire department. Any such phone call is a scam, and people to hang up and report the call to police.
Magnuson adds, the fire department’s fundraising events are conducted at public facilities in Valley City.
LINTON, N.D. (AP) — Supporters and opponents of a proposal to double the capacity of the Dakota Access oil pipeline packed a small-town auditorium Wednesday for a field hearing before state regulators considering the next phase of a project that sparked months of sometimes violent protests in 2016 and 2017.
Texas-based Energy Transfer wants to double the capacity of the line to as much as 1.1 million barrels daily to meet growing demand for oil shipments from North Dakota, and it’s seeking permission for pump stations to do it.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other opponents have long argued that a leak in the pipeline would threaten the tribe’s Missouri River water supply, and say that increasing pressure magnifies the risk. They’re asking the Public Service Commission to deny the expansion.
State troopers and sheriff’s deputies stood by as attendees cleared metal detectors and filled the auditorium to its capacity of 400 for the Public Service Commission meeting.
Steve Cortina of the Laborers’ International Union of North America was among trade workers in attendance, many of whom worked on the original $3.8 billion project.
“We supported it then and we want to be here to support the expansion now,” he said.
“I’m here because they want to double the risk of a spill,” said Joye Braun, a community organizer with Indigenous Environmental Network and one of the leaders of the Dakota Access pipeline protest.
Commissioner Julie Fedorchak said the state wants to develop North Dakota’s energy resources “in an orderly fashion with minimal impact.” She emphasized that that doesn’t mean “no impact.”
“We want to get all the information we can for a very thorough record so we can make the best decision possible,” she said.
The hearing was seen live on CSi Cable 4, on Wednesday.
WATERFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have charged a woman from Louisiana who is accused of holding another woman against her will and repeatedly attacking her with a board at a Watford City home.
Prosecutors charged 18-year-old Nytera Staten with felonious restraint and robbery with a dangerous weapon. KFYR reports Watford City police say the victim told them Staten dragged her into her home by her hair, repeatedly assaulted her with a board that had nails in it, and then cut her hand with a kitchen knife.
The two lived together at the residence a couple of months prior to the incident. But the victim said Staten returned and tried to try to get cash from her. It’s not known whether Staten has hired an attorney.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A man accused of killing four people at a North Dakota property management company is challenging search warrants and seeking a change of venue.
Chad Isaak has pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder in the April 1 shooting and stabbing deaths at RJR Maintenance and Management in Mandan.
Isaak, a chiropractor who lived in a mobile home park managed by the agency, argues in a filing Wednesday that authorities did not properly obtain warrants for his home, his truck, his social media accounts and his electronic devices.
Police have not identified a potential motive in the killings. They have said they found spent shell casings, a knife with a bent tip and gun parts in a kitchen freezer at Isaak’s house, all smelling of chlorine bleach.
Isaak in a separate filing asked that his trial be moved from Morton County due to pretrial publicity.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck woman has pleaded not guilty to using fraudulent letters and a judge’s forged signature to swindle more than $800,000 from people who thought they were loaning her money.
Thirty-two-year-old Autumn Morrell entered the pleas Tuesday to three counts of theft and three counts of forgery. Each felony carries a maximum 20 years in prison upon conviction.
The Bismarck Tribune reports prosecutors say Morrell used fraudulent letters from government organizations, some with a forged signature of a South Central District judge, to convince people to loan her money, promising to pay them more in return.
Authorities say Morrell convinced one person to give her nearly $300,000 by telling the victim she was going to collect a large sum of money from Medicaid and needed money to pay some bills.
Morell will stand trial beginning Feb. 19.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The two veteran diplomats testifying in the House impeachment hearing are denying President Donald Trump’s accusation that they adamantly oppose him.
Shortly before Wednesday’s House Intelligence Committee hearing began, Trump tweeted, “NEVER TRUMPERS!” He mentioned no evidence.
California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell asked both men if Trump’s claim was true.
State Department official George Kent said he’s served under three Republican and two Democratic presidents during his 27 years of service. He said he serves “whatever president is duly elected” and carries out their foreign policies. He oversees U.S. policy in Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.
William Taylor answered, “No sir.” Taylor is the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine and was recruited by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to serve there.
NEW YORK (AP) — A Roman Catholic bishop named by Pope Francis to investigate the church’s response to clergy sexual abuse in Buffalo, New York, has himself been accused of sexual abuse of a child.
An attorney for the alleged victim notified Catholic officials in New Jersey this week that he is preparing a lawsuit on behalf of a client who says he was molested by Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio in the 1970s, when DiMarzio was a priest in Jersey City. In a letter, lawyer Mitchell Garabedian says 56-year-old Mark Matzek alleges he was repeatedly abused by DiMarzio when he was an altar boy.
DiMarzio says there is no truth to the accusation.
Buffalo Bishop Joseph Malone has come under fire for his handling of a clergy abuse scandal that has roiled the diocese.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Attorney General William Barr is announcing a new law enforcement initiative to reduce gun violence across the U.S.
The initiative known as Project Guardian is being unveiled Wednesday at a news conference in Memphis, Tennessee, the same day public impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump began in Washington.
As part of the program, U.S. prosecutors will coordinate with local law enforcement officials and consider potential federal charges for defendants suspected of using guns in violent crimes or drug trafficking offenses.
The initiative requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to revisit guidelines to prosecute more cases when people lie to obtain firearms. It also requires U.S. attorney’s offices to quickly input information about people who can’t own guns for mental health reason.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican lawmakers have pressed Turkey’s president about why Turkey bought a Russian missile system despite Turkey’s membership in NATO.
Senators who gathered at the White House with President Donald Trump also expressed concerns about U.S.-backed Kurdish forces that Turkey is battling in neighboring Syria.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahn) that U.S. lawmakers have two main concerns. One is the S-400 air defense system that Turkey bought from Moscow. And the second is stopping Turkey from going after the Kurds.
Trump called reporters into his meeting with Erdogan at the same time that Washington was focused on impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill. Trump said earlier that he was too busy to watch the televised hearings.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott said he wants to see Turkey moving closer to the U.S. and not Russia.
