BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Gallatin County search and rescue teams have recovered the remains of a Bismarck, North Dakota physician who went missing in Montana nearly three years ago.
Sheriff Brian Gootkin says last Saturday 26 searchers and eight dogs again searched a field south of the town of Willow Creek, where Dr. Patrick Fitzpatrick’s abandoned vehicle was found on July 4, 2015.
A bloodhound located Fitzpatrick’s remains on a rolling hillside about a mile from where his vehicle was found. Gootkin says searchers had looked in the area for four days in July 2015 and attempted another search in March 2017. Late last month they tried again.
Fitzpatrick, who was 74, was last seen on July 2, 2015 at a Bozeman bank.
Gootkin said Thursday that there is no indication of foul play.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have recovered the body of a 74-year-old Bismarck man who went missing April 9 while boating on the Heart River.
A Morton County sheriff’s deputy discovered Lynn Fairfield’s body Wednesday while doing a check of the shoreline west of Mandan. The body was about a mile downstream from where Fairfield’s boat had capsized.
Crews have searched by air, land and water over the past month.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man who admitted killing his brother two years ago is appealing to the North Dakota Supreme Court.
The Minot Daily News reports that the defense for 28-year-old Adolfo Contreras-Castillo maintains that a judge erred in denying Contreras-Castillo’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea last fall.
Contreras-Castillo pleaded guilty in August 2016 to killing 28-year-old Ignacio Contreras-Castillo during an argument in March of that year. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
A year ago he said he stabbed his brother in self-defense but was pressured by his attorney into pleading guilty.
Ward County State’s Attorney Roza Larson maintains that Contreras-Castillo knowingly and voluntarily entered his guilty plea and should not be allowed to withdraw it.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Environmental study of the Dakota Access oil pipeline is likely to continue into the summer as federal officials meet with American Indian tribes who have raised concerns about being left out of the process.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to meet with all four tribes by the end of the month, Justice Department attorney Matthew Marinelli said in a status report to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg that was filed Wednesday.
Boasberg is overseeing a lawsuit filed in July 2016 by the Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Yankton and Oglala Sioux tribes, who hope to shut down the $3.8 billion pipeline that began moving North Dakota oil to Illinois last summer. They fear environmental and cultural harm. Texas-based developer Energy Transfer Partners says the pipeline is safe.
Boasberg allowed oil to begin flowing last June despite lingering concerns about the pipeline’s impact on tribal interests, including how a spill under the Missouri River in the Dakotas would impact tribal water supplies. He ordered more study on those topics.
The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River tribes earlier this year said they weren’t being given a meaningful role in that process, and they asked Boasberg to order that they be given more involvement.
Boasberg last month rejected the request, saying the tribes can press their argument that the study is flawed when the work is completed and presented to him.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An emergency shelter that opened as a short-term housing solution in Bismarck will stay open indefinitely.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the Missouri Slope Areawide United Way opened the facility in March.
The United Way had secured space in downtown Bismarck’s Sunrise Apartments building until July, while city officials worked toward creating a permanent shelter.
The agency has been filling the emergency housing gap since Ruth Meier’s Hospitality House closed the area’s lone emergency men’s shelter in October.
People seeking shelter can stay for free up to 30 days as long as they work on goals leading to self-sufficiency. Shelter residents also must help with chores and cannot consume drugs or alcohol. Residents must pay $25 a week or 30 percent of their income after the free 30 days.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The University of Mary says that for the first time in the school’s history there will be a waiting list for freshmen applicants this fall.
The university is expecting 20 percent more freshmen in 2018 compared to last year. The school says the incoming freshman class of 500 will be a record.
Undergraduate admissions director Richard Hinton says there are just a few spots remaining in the freshman class that will be filled in the coming weeks. Hinton says all applications filed after June 1 will go on a waiting list.
Hinton says there are more students coming from outside North Dakota, including from Montana and Minnesota.
The Catholic, Benedictine university was founded in 1959 by the Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney says it will be September or October before Minnesota officials issue a decision on a permit application for a Red River diversion channel around the Fargo-Moorhead area.
The flood protection project was halted last year by a federal judge because it didn’t have a permit from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
A new permit application for a revised plan was submitted earlier this year after the governors of North Dakota and Minnesota assembled a task force.
Backers of the project had hoped to hear a decision by now. But Mahoney tells KFGO radio that because of significant changes to the project, another environmental study has to be completed.
He says he remains optimistic the new plan will get approval despite the delay.

Grand Forks (UND Sports.com) A majority of UND students voted for Fighting Hawks mascot design option “Z”, and UND President Mark Kennedy is ready to honor their pick.
Kennedy says, “Our students have seized the opportunity to further define the Fighting Hawks identity, which will be a source of pride for UND fans for generations to come. The initiative has been a student-led effort from the beginning, so it’s only fitting that they ultimately defined its outcome through this vote.”
Online polls closed Wednesday evening after staying open for two days. More than 2,300 students voted for what they found to be the best look. It’s an important milestone in a months-long process to bring UND’s new logo and branding to life.
UND student body president Erik Hanson says, “From the original committee to help narrow the scope, to the final vote being comprised of students, the University is showing that students’ opinions matter, and that this is truly a student-led initiative. The high amount of participation in a process like this at such a busy time of the year for students is something that we’re very excited about.”
In world and national news…
NAPPANEE, Indiana (AP) — CSX says severe weather may have played a role in a freight train derailment in northern Indiana that injured two crew members.
The company says in a statement that while the derailment’s cause remains under investigation, “it appears that severe weather may have been a factor” in the derailment late Wednesday near Nappanee (NA’-puh-nee), about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of South Bend.
The National Weather Service says a severe thunderstorm swept through that area about two hours before the derailment occurred just before midnight.
But meteorologist Geoffrey Heidelberger says radar also detected high winds aloft there about 11 p.m. Wednesday as a wave of storms toppled trees and power lines throughout the region.
CSX says about 30 loaded cars and two locomotives derailed on the Chicago-bound train.
