MISSING SIDNEY WOMAN-REMAINS FOUND<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human remains found in search for missing Sidney woman<\/p>\n

HELENA, Mont. (AP) \u2014 The search for an eastern Montana woman reported missing in late December was suspended after human remains were found near her residence. Richland County Sheriff John Dynneson says he can’t confirm that the body was that of 26-year-old Katelynn Jane Berry of Sidney. However, her family has run an obituary and scheduled memorial services for Friday. Dynneson says Berry was last seen on Dec. 21 and was reported missing 10 days later. The remains were found during a search for Berry on Jan. 20. Dynneson says officials are still waiting to learn the cause and manner of death. Berry’s mother is Carmell Mattison, a prosecutor in Grand Forks County, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

FARGO FIRE-TWO DEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early morning house fire near downtown Fargo leaves 2 dead<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Authorities say two people are dead after a house fire near downtown Fargo. Firefighters responded shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday to a report of smoke coming from the house. One person was taken from the house during the fire and died later at a local hospital. Later, while searching the house, firefighters found the body of another victim. Authorities say \u201ccontent within the house\u201d made it difficult for crews to battle the blaze. At one point two firefighters fell into a hole in the floor and were able to safely crawl out. The search was slowed by a partial collapse of the building. The cause of the fire and damage estimate were not immediately available. Officials say the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

ADULT ENDANGERMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bismarck man charged with endangering quadriplegic brother<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Prosecutors say a Bismarck man has been charged with endangering his disabled brother by leaving him dehydrated and hungry in a soiled bed. Thirty-three-year-old Dondarro Watts made an initial appearance in court Tuesday on a felony charge of adult endangerment, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison upon conviction. Court documents don\u2019t list an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Bismarck police executed a search warrant at a residence rented by Tony Watts because they suspected Dondarro was dealing drugs there. He was arrested but failed to tell law enforcement officers his quadriplegic brother was unattended or needed care.<\/p>\n

EMERGENCY MILK DISTRIBUTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burgum signs order to help recruit truckers to deliver milk<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has signed an emergency order meant to ease a shortage of truck drivers to deliver milk to schools, businesses and other customers. The edict waives hours of service requirements for drivers for 30 days, which follows a decision by the state\u2019s milk marketing board to waive enforcement of certain licensing requirements until April 1. The measures come after a major milk distributor in North Dakota went out of business, due in part to a lack of certified drivers. More than 50 school districts were at risk of losing milk deliveries. Burgum and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring are spearheading an effort to recruit truckers who have allowed their commercial driver\u2019s licenses to expire. The state has lost 3,000 certified drivers since 2017.<\/p>\n

NORTH DAKOTA-ECONOMY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Report: North Dakota’s economy showing signs of recovery<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new analysis says North Dakota\u2019s economy is showing signs of recovery and growth. The quarterly outlook report done by North Dakota State University is predicting growth for wages and salaries, as well as a growing labor force, decreasing unemployment and strong total tax collections. The previous quarterly report, which was released last August, said the state economy was showing signs of stagnation and a slowing recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The analysis says total wages and salaries have been growing about 2% per quarter, a trend that is expected to continue and even pick up in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
