BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Federal workers are back on the job throughout North Dakota after the end of the 16-day partial shutdown of the federal government.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the western Badlands is once again open to visitors. Chief Ranger Dean Wyckoff tells The Dickinson Press that it’s a good feeling.
The Bureau of Land Management’s North Dakota field office in Dickinson also is getting back up to speed. More than 500 oil and gas drilling permit applications are awaiting consideration.
U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says his office also has a lot of catching up to do, but will get the job done.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot police are investigating an armed robbery at a gas station.
Authorities say a male walked into the Enerbase business about 3 a.m. Thursday, displayed a weapon and demanded money from a clerk. He then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police did not immediately say what type of weapon was involved.
HARVEY, N.D. (AP) – The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the death of a worker at a grain elevator in Harvey.
The incident happened at the Prairie Towers Elevator two weeks ago. OSHA official Eric Brooks says a section of a grain chute fell and hit 21-year-old Alex Rall in the head.
Brooks says the grain chute section weighed between 250 pounds and 300 pounds. Rall was pronounced dead at the scene.
The OSHA office has been closed because of the 16-day partial government shutdown that ended Thursday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man is accused of punching his sister in the face with brass knuckles.
Christopher Rainbow, of Fort Yates, is charged in federal court with assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
A witness told police that the assault knocked the victim unconscious. She suffered bruises to her face and required stitches to close a cut on her ear.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday in Bismarck.
CROSBY, N.D. (AP) – A Minnesota man faces charges including attempted murder after a weekend stabbing in the western North Dakota oil patch.
Christopher Baumgartner of Olivia, Minnesota is charged with attempted murder, terrorizing, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault. His bond is set at $250,000. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.
Two other men face lesser charges in the stabbing near Crosby.
Baumgartner is accused of stabbing Christian Boen with a machete that had a blade nearly a foot long. Boen received more than a dozen stitches and has been released from a hospital.
Investigators allege that Baumgartner and Boen had an argument about a truck being either borrowed or stolen.
BOTTINEAU, N.D. (AP) – Authorities in Bottineau County are investigating the apparent dragging death of a miniature Shetland pony taken from a hobby farm.
Owner Dave Boppre says on Sept. 24 someone in a pickup truck chased the pet horse from a field, tired it out, struck it with the truck, then tied it to the back of the truck and dragged it along the road.
Boppre is accepting donations for a reward fund. The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association says it also is preparing a reward fund.
A law passed by the Legislature earlier this year makes an act of animal cruelty a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple says he’ll ask for a major disaster declaration from the White House to help cover damage from an early October blizzard.
He earlier proclaimed a winter storm emergency declaration that allows state agencies to work with local governments throughout the recovery process.
The storm caused extensive damages to the state’s rural electric cooperatives’ infrastructure and to roads.
Dalrymple says nearly 8,000 customers were part of an outage and the remaining 120 without power should be back online by this weekend.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – United Blood Services is looking for people in the region to donate type O-negative blood, in part because of the recent blizzard in the western Dakotas.
O-negative is the universal donor blood type, meaning it can be given to anyone.
United Blood Services says the demand for O-negative blood recently has outpaced the supply. One reason is that the early October blizzard shut down blood drives and facilities in Rapid City.
O-negative blood also is in demand because only 6 percent of people have it.
United Blood Services has North Dakota offices in Bismarck, Fargo and Minot and South Dakota offices in Aberdeen, Mitchell and Rapid City. It collects blood for 93 hospitals.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Officials say no oil from a pipeline rupture in northwestern North Dakota has been found so far in surface or groundwater.
North Dakota water quality director Dennis Fewless says state and Tesoro officials are closely monitoring the estimated 20,000-barrel spill that covers an area the size of seven football fields near Tioga.
The spill was found by a farmer on Sept. 29.
Fewless says a thick layer of clay beneath the spill site is acting as a natural barrier to any water sources below. He says monitoring wells have been placed on the perimeter of the spill area to check for any oil that may escape.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Another oil spill has been reported in North Dakota.
The state now says five to seven barrels of oil leaked from a one-inch oil gathering line in Divide County. It initially reported that about 150 barrels had leaked, but says there was an error in a preliminary report.
The governor’s office says the state Health Department is monitoring the leak closely because it’s near a small wetland.
An updated news release Thursday night did not offer any further details, but said more information will be released Friday.
Divide is the far northwest county in the state. Its county seat is Crosby.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Three North Dakota Army National Guard aviators have begun a yearlong mission supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents along the Mexican border. The soldiers left this month for Harlingen, Texas where they were joined by a soldier from the Michigan Army National Guard for the anti-drug mission.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A new report suggests the economy will continue growing at a slow pace in rural areas of 10 Midwestern states in the months ahead. Omaha, Nebraska-based Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says the recent decline in crop prices will likely slow economic growth. The survey includes rural bankers in Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and the Dakotas.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Licensing revenue for North Dakota State University Bison-branded apparel and merchandise has more than tripled in the last five years.
NDSU is the two-time defending champion in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision. And the Bison are undefeated and top-ranked this year.
More than 270 licensees now have permission to recreate the school’s logos for profit. The NDSU athletic department receives a 10 percent royalty on the wholesale cost of items produced. The royalty brought in $418,000 last year.
Rick Fletcher is general manager for CI Sport, which produces collegiate licensed apparel for hundreds of schools including NDSU. He says teams that are winning and have a winning tradition tend to be bigger royalty generators.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Michael Waltrip Racing has picked Elliott Sadler to close out the season in the No. 55 Toyota while Brian Vickers is sidelined treating a blood clot. Vickers informed the team Monday doctors had found a small clot in his right leg, and the blood thinners needed to treat it prevent him from racing. He’s expected to take blood thinners for at least two weeks.
Vickers also missed the final 25 races of the 2010 season with blood clots, and during that time required heart surgery.
Team co-owner Waltrip was already scheduled to drive the car this weekend at Talladega. Sadler will drive the car at Martinsville, Texas, Phoenix and Homestead.
