TIOGA, N.D. (AP) – Weekend crashes in northwest North Dakota
left two people dead and four others injured.
The Highway Patrol says one crash happened late Saturday on
state Highway 40 near Tioga, and the other late Sunday on U.S.
Highway 85 near Alexander. Both crashes involved pickup trucks
colliding.
Thirty-three-year-old Brent Gardner of Grantsville, Utah, died
in the first crash. Forty-three-year-old Jason Smith of Murrieta,
Calif., died in the other.
A man from Colorado was injured in the Saturday crash. Two Texas
residents and a Nevada man were injured in the Sunday crash.
The crashes happened in western North Dakota’s oil patch, where
people from around the country are working.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The tax director of North Dakota’s Three
Affiliated Tribes says the tribe should get a bigger share of tax
revenue from oil that’s produced on the reservation.
The Fort Berthold reservation is in the heart of North Dakota’s
booming oil country.
Four years ago, the tribe and state signed an agreement to split up the tax revenue.
Oil drilling has mushroomed since then and it’s expected to keep growing.
Tribal tax director Mark Fox says oil taxes from the reservation
have totaled $346 million since the agreement was signed. The state
has gotten almost two-thirds of the money.
Fox says the tribe should get a bigger share from oil produced
on tribal land. But a law change is needed for that to happen. The
Legislature rejected the idea last year.

issues.
Hanson for more than 16 years worked at Fond du Lac Tribal and
Community College in Cloquet, Minn., where she served as a
counselor and disability services coordinator.
She most recently served as that school’s interim dean of
student services.

its 100th anniversary this year also is gearing up for a major
renovation next year.

constructed in 1956. The Rev.
Patrick Schumachersays it has remained essentially unchanged for 40 years.
He says it needs upgrades on its roof, lighting, sound and electrical systems and fire suppression.

Work is to start next August or September. Schumacher hopes the
$2.8 million project can be completed in six months.

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Dickinson State University’s football
stadium has been formally named after the team’s legendary coach.
The Dickinson Press reports the Badlands Activities Center was
renamed the Henry Biesiot (BEE’-zhoo) Activities Center during a
ceremony after DSU’s game on Saturday.
Biesiot has coached the Blue Hawks since 1976, racking up more
than 250 wins.
He holds the NAIA record for most wins at one school, and he’s battling with St. Francis coach Kevin Donley for the honor of most wins in NAIA history. He was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2006.
Biesiot says the stadium’s renaming is not just a credit to him
but to countless others. In his words: “Hank never made a block,
never made a tackle. I happened to witness a lot of them.”

policy.
