BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Parts of the Dakotas are in for some stormy weather after a balmy weekend.
The National Weather Service says snow and strong winds gusting to 40 mph could create hazardous travel conditions in much of the two states. As much as a foot of snow is possible in parts of the northern Black Hills of South Dakota.
The weather service has posted a variety of wind and winter weather advisories and warnings into Tuesday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The National Transportation Safety Board says an oil train that derailed and caught fire near the southeastern North Dakota city of Casselton spilled about 400,000 gallons of crude.
The NTSB is investigating the cause of the Dec. 30 crash. The agency’s preliminary report says 21 of the 106 cars on the BNSF railway train derailed along with the two leading locomotives. Twenty of the cars were carrying oil and 18 were punctured. Damage is estimated at $6.1 million.
No one was hurt but the wreck prompted the voluntary evacuation of about 1,400 of Casselton’s 2,400 residents.
A westbound train carrying soybeans derailed first, and a portion of it fell onto an adjacent track carrying the eastbound oil train. The NTSB is studying what role a broken axle might have played.
AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho (AP) – Two North Dakota men face charges after the Idaho State Police seized 14.6 pounds of marijuana, other drugs and two handguns during a traffic stop.
The ISP stopped the van the men were driving shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 86 near American Falls in southeastern Idaho.
The driver, 35-year-old Daniel Sewell of New Rockford, N.D., along with 30-year-old Timothy Scott of Fargo, N.D., were arrested on suspicion of trafficking a controlled substance, felony possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of firearms and possession of drug paraphernalia.
They were jailed in American Falls pending a court appearance.
CARSON, N.D. (AP) – Preliminary hearings have been delayed for two white supremacists accused of using guns to terrorize residents of the small North Dakota town of Leith (leeth).
Craig Cobb and Kynan Dutton were to appear in South Central District Court on Monday in Carson. The Grant County clerk of court’s office says their hearings have been moved to Wednesday because of a funeral on Monday that many court officials wanted to attend.
Cobb and Dutton were arrested Nov. 16. They both face seven felony terrorizing counts and could be sentenced to up to 35 years in prison if convicted.
Cobb and Dutton maintain they were patrolling the town because of violence and harassment directed at them.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Government agencies, nonprofits and other groups in North Dakota are making pitches for grant money this week from a new state conservation fund.
The North Dakota Outdoor Heritage fund established last year by the Legislature will receive up to $15 million annually from oil and gas taxes. The goal is to restore land affected by energy production and to develop such things as fish and wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation areas.
A 12-member advisory board is hearing more than 70 presentations Monday and Tuesday in Bismarck from groups that want money from the fund. The requests total more than $34 million and range from building golf course restrooms to planting trees to restoring wetlands.
North Dakota’s Industrial Commission oversees the fund.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota National Guard is celebrating a decade-long partnership with Ghana.
A state delegation led by Guard commander David Sprynczynatyk (sprihn-suh-NAT’-ihk) and Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley recently visited senior government and military officials in the West African country. Another North Dakota delegation is scheduled to visit later this month.
The state Guard and Ghana have been participating since 2004 in the Defense Department-sponsored partnership program. Wrigley says it began as a military partnership and has expanded to include health care, business and economic partnerships. He says the next delegation will include experts in industry, trade and agriculture.
SISSETON, S.D. (AP) – A Wild Card 2 ticket sold in the northeastern South Dakota city of Sisseton is worth $6,000 in Saturday’s drawing.
The ticket matched all five white ball numbers but missed the Wild Card to win the game’s second prize. The odds of winning it are 1 in about 127,000.
South Dakota lottery officials say no one won the jackpot, so it grows to $225,000 for the Wednesday drawing.
Wild Card 2 is played in the Dakotas, Montana and Idaho.
In sports…
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Former University of North Dakota football player and coach Tim Tibesar is no longer the linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears.
The NFL team fired Tibesar and defensive line coach Mike Phair on Sunday. The Bears allowed the most points, rushing yards and total yards in franchise history this season.
Tibesar played for UND from 1993-96, serving as captain his final two seasons. He served as an assistant coach at UND from 2001-05. He also coached at Cornell, Kansas State and Purdue, and also with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. He spent just one season with the Bears.
In world and national news…
DALLAS (AP) – The pilots of a Southwest Airlines plane that mistakenly landed at the wrong Missouri airport Sunday have been grounded, while the airline and federal aviation officials look into what happened. The plane touched down at an airport near Branson that has a runway that’s a little more than half as long as the runway at the airport where the plane was supposed to touch down. The pilot had to hit the brakes, but nobody was hurt.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – It could still be several days before everyone is cleared to use the water again in the nine West Virginia counties where the use of tap water has been banned since Thursday for anything other than flushing toilets. Officials say tests are showing the water supply to be safe — but they’re lifting the ban slowly, one area at a time, so that the system doesn’t get overwhelmed. The ban went into effect after a chemical that is used in coal processing spilled into a river.
PARIS (AP) – Syria’s government and a moderate opposition group have agreed to allow humanitarian aid into some parts of the country that have been blocked off. The agreement was announced Monday in Paris by the top envoys for the U.S. and Russia. They’re working with the opposite sides to broker whatever progress can be achieved toward easing the civil war that has engulfed Syria for nearly three years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Top congressional negotiators are closing in on an agreement on a bipartisan $1.1 trillion spending bill that would fund the operations of government through October and finally put to rest the bitter budget fights of last year. The massive measure would flesh out the details of the budget deal that Congress passed last month. That agreement gave relatively modest relief to the Pentagon and domestic agencies from the deep budget cuts they would otherwise face.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The former city manager in the Los Angeles suburb of Bell has pleaded guilty to charges that he filed a false federal income-tax return to illegally reduce his tax liability. Robert Rizzo faces up to eight years in prison. He earlier pleaded no contest to 69 counts of fraud, misappropriation of public funds and other charges after county prosecutors accused him of orchestrating a brazen scheme that drove Bell to the brink of bankruptcy. He’ll be sentenced in March.
