(AP) \u2014 A bipartisan North Dakota bill that would have required clergy to be included in state law as mandatory reporters of child abuse has been withdrawn. West Fargo Republican Sen. Judy Lee withdrew the legislation on Friday, saying the bill has become a distraction. The Roman Catholic dioceses in Fargo and Bismarck had opposed the bill. North Dakota law requires those working in many occupations to report any evidence of child abuse. But clergy is exempt. The bill would have made failure to support abuse a punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.<\/p>\n MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A charity that helps grant wishes for ailing kids and teens has fulfilled a 16-year-old Bottineau boy’s desire for outdoor adventures by providing him with a fish house that doubles as a camper. Case Thompson, a high school sophomore who was diagnosed last year with cancer, told Make-A-Wish officials that among his favorite things to do are to fish and to camp with friends and family. He became more convinced about his wish after taking a tour through a Minot outdoor equipment store The Minot Daily News reports that in addition to the shelter, he was presented with other items and a day on the lake with an ice fishing professional, the Minot Daily News reported.<\/p>\n MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 After President Joe Biden revoked Keystone XL\u2019s presidential permit, opponents of other pipelines are hoping the projects they\u2019ve been fighting will be next. Environmentalists and American Indian tribes called on Biden to stop Enbridge Energy’s Line 3 replacement in Minnesota. Opponents of the Dakota Access pipeline that originates in North Dakota also appealed to the administration. Biden’s administration hasn’t specified what action it might take on other pipelines. Industry experts say they don’t expect any quick action like the order that stopped Keystone XL, but other pipelines will likely see tougher scrutiny and permitting processes than they saw under former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Sports..<\/p>\n Full Weekend Game Recaps At CSiNewsNow.com Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Saturday<\/p>\n Boy\u2019s Hockey\u2026<\/p>\n Jamestown 7 Hazen\/Beulah 2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GIRLS PREP BASKETBALL=<\/p>\n Jamestown 79, Dickinson 55<\/p>\n UJ Men’s Volleyball<\/p>\n Des Moines, Iowa\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>) \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>The No. 8 University of Jamestown men\u2019s volleyball team bounced back from last night\u2019s loss to top-ranked Grand View (Iowa), sweeping St. Ambrose (Iowa) on Saturday at the Molten Invitational Tournament.<\/p>\n Jamestown (2-1) returns to action Friday at Mount Mercy (Iowa) University with a 6 p.m. match.<\/p>\n (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0\u00a0 The University of Jamestown men\u2019s wrestling team went 1-3 at the GPAC Duals, held Saturday at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n VCSU Basketball…<\/p>\n Valley City State dispatched conference leader Mayville State in impressive fashion Saturday afternoon, opening up a 54-38 halftime lead en route to a 94-68 victory in Valley City.<\/p>\n VALLEY CITY \u2013\u00a0 (VCSU<\/a>) \u00a0 The Valley City State women\u2019s basketball team dropped a hard-fought battle against Mayville State Saturday, 58-53.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/p>\n UJ Basketball..<\/p>\n Women…<\/p>\n Jamestown\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0 Noelle Josephson JR\/Ramsey, MN) recorded a double-double with a career-high 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Kia Tower<\/a> (SO\/Bigfork, MN) had 20 points and seven assists to help the University of Jamestown women’s basketball team to an 82-65 win over Doane (Neb.)

Toronto (AP) \u2014 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is announcing stricter restrictions on travelers response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus. The new requirements make it mandatory for travelers to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada<\/strong> and includes suspending airline service to Mexico and all Caribbean destinations until April 30. Trudeau says in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada. He says travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
