CANDO, N.D. (AP) – The Highway Patrol has identified a 20-year-old Cando woman who died after the pickup truck she was driving crashed into a slough.

Authorities say Hailey Hendrickson lost control of the pickup on a gravel road near the town about 12:15 a.m. Thursday, and it went into a ditch and came to rest on its roof in the slough. She was pronounced dead at a Cando medical center.

Three passengers in the truck were treated for minor injuries and released.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Casselton Fire Chief Tim McLean says an oil train crash outside that city in December 2013 appears much worse than the one near Heimdal (HYM’-dahl) this week. A resident of Heimdal agrees.
 
     The Casselton derailment involved more than twice the amount of crude and different kinds of tanker cars. McLean says another freight train carrying soybeans that also was involved in Casselton provided more fuel for that fire.
 
     New state rules also are in effect now aimed at reducing the volatility of Bakken crude, though McLean says it’s impossible to know whether they would have made a difference at Casselton.
 
     Heimdal resident Curt Benson says explosions he witnessed this week were nowhere near the magnitude of the Casselton explosions he saw on television footage.

A company official says a shipment of crude involved in an explosive train derailment in North Dakota had been treated to reduce its volatility.
 
     Hess Corporation spokesman John Roper said the oil was in compliance with a state law that requires propane, butane and other volatile gases to be stripped out of crude before it can be transported.

Wheel fragments found at the scene are “of great interest” to federal officials investigating the cause of the wreck, the lead investigator said Thursday as BNSF Railways prepared to reopen the track today.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Sen. John Hoeven says federal investigators looking into the cause of an explosive oil train derailment near Heimdal will be on scene for about a week.
 
     Hoeven says 11 officials with the Federal Railroad Administration will be at the site until Sunday or Monday. A crew of four people with the National Transportation Safety Board will be there for about seven days.
 
     The BNSF Railway train hauling Bakken crude derailed Wednesday morning. No one was hurt but residents of Heimdal evacuated for about a day.
 
     Investigators on Thursday recovered wheel fragments from the scene. The NTSB says they’ll be sent to a government laboratory for analysis. A defective tank car wheel is suspected to have played a role in another oil train accident in Illinois in March.

 

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A man convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting death of a northwest North Dakota hobby rancher has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
  Ryan Stensaker was sentenced Thursday in Minot. A jury in December found the Williston man guilty in the spring 2013 death of 58-year-old Jack Sjol (shohl). Sjol’s body was found in a garbage dump, with bullet wounds to his head, face and upper left arm.
 
     BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A 25-year-old man has been found guilty in a Jamaican lottery scam that authorities say cost victims around the country millions of dollars. Jurors in U.S. District Court in Bismarck reached their verdict Thursday (backslash)in the case of Sanjay Williams of Montego Bay.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man says he will plead guilty for firing a shotgun at a residence during a drive-by shooting on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
 
     Michael Mitzel is charged with four counts, including reckless endangerment, terrorizing and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
 
     Authorities say the vehicle was driven by Mitzel’s girlfriend, Morgan Williams, who pleaded guilty to her role in the crime. Mitzel allegedly try to cover up the shooting by hiding the gun and selling the vehicle.
 
     The plea agreement says Mitzel knew the occupants of the house, but did not know if they were there at the time of the shooting.
 
     The deal with the government calls for Mitzel to plead guilty to three counts. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is holding a press conference to address Common Core testing problems.
 
     North Dakota is one of three states that contract with New Hampshire-based Measured Progress to administer the tests. But the company’s testing has been plagued by technical glitches.
 
     North Dakota’s three-year contract started this year and cost $4.6 million.
 
     North Dakota adopted Common Core standards in 2011 and began to fully implement them during the current school year. Assessments based on the new standards were to start for all students this spring.
 

 GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Fifty-five medical students and 59 law students are eligible to graduate from the University of North Dakota.
 
     The medical school and law school both are holding their spring commencements Saturday in the Chester Fritz Auditorium on campus. The law school ceremony is in the morning and the medical school graduation in the afternoon.
 
     UND’s general commencement is a week from Saturday, on May 16. More than 1,900 students are eligible to graduate.

 

　 MILNOR, N.D. (AP) – An 18-year-old North Dakota boy who lost both arms in a farm accident 15 years ago is graduating high school and preparing for college in Minnesota.
 
     Parker Sebens fell into a running grain auger on the family farm near Milnor in September 2000. He spent 54 days in a medical center near Minneapolis, where he went through more than 50 hours of surgery before an infection forced doctors to amputate his arms.
 
Even without prosthetic arms, Sebens can still do things like driving and texting, using the remaining stumps of his arms. He even shoots pool.
 
     He’ll soon be getting two prosthetic arms, then heading to college at Minnesota State University Moorhead. After college, he’d like to become a motivational speaker.

 

In sports…

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Park Board is still deciding whether to change the irrigation pond project for Hillcrest Municipal Golf Course.

At a special meeting to discuss options for an irrigation pond with golf course architect Kevin Norby, the Park Board directed Parks and Rec Director Doug Hogan, Business Manager Sheila Harr, to contact Duininck Inc., a Minnesota-based construction company, to determinethe cost to get out of the existing contract.

The Park Board is looking at whether it should reverse its decision from October when it approved a change order to an ongoing improvement project at Hillcrest, that included building a new irrigation pond in a low spot between holes Number 10 and 17, along where hole Number. 16 is located. The $486,303 addition would include a new irrigation pond and pumps to pump the water out to the golf course’s aging irrigation system.

Hogan says if the board withdraws from its contract with Duininck, because the estimated cost for repairing the existing irrigation pond is more than $100,000, by state law the board would have to seek bids and hire an engineer to do engineered drawings for the project.

Norby says overall he thought repairing the existing irrigation pond would cost about the same as building the new irrigation pond.

 

 GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Junior goaltender Zane McIntyre has been named most valuable player of the University of North Dakota hockey team that fell just short of a national title.
 
     The Boston Bruins draftee last season won the Mike Richter Award as the best goalie in college hockey and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top player in the country.
 
     McIntyre led UND to the NCAA Frozen Four in Boston, where the team lost in the semifinals. He had 29 victories during the season, tops in the nation and second-most in UND single-season history.

He broke a tie with Willie Mays and moved within 53 of tying Babe Ruth for third on the list.
 

NFL…

 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Tom Brady’s agent is firing back after the quarterback was implicated in the report on the deflated football scandal.
 
     Don Yee says the report prepared by NFL-appointed investigator Ted Wells was “a significant and terrible disappointment.”
 
     The 243-page report found that two Patriots employees violated rules covering game balls, and that Brady was “at least generally aware” of the plans to doctor the footballs to his liking. The report found some of Brady’s claims to investigators were “implausible,” saying it was unlikely the two would have carried out the plan to deflate the balls to Brady’s liking without his knowledge.

 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-NOTRE DAME-GOLSON…
  
     SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Quarterback Everett Golson has announced he is leaving Notre Dame and will use his final season of eligibility elsewhere after graduating later this month.

     Billy Horschel (HOHR’-shul) and Charles Howell III are among six players at minus-4. Rory McIlroy is just two strokes back after winning the Match Play Championship last weekend.
 
     Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson opened with 73s but fared better than Masters champ Jordan Spieth (speeth), who shot a 75.
    HOCKEY-WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP…
  
     PRAGUE (AP) – The United States has been beaten by Belarus 5-2 at the ice hockey world championship.

 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Forecasters say conditions appear to be ripe today and tomorrow for storms that could produce powerful tornadoes across an area covering southern Kansas, western Oklahoma and parts of North Texas.

     CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – An armed homeowner shot by a sheriff’s deputy near Charleston, South Carolina, is hospitalized today following surgery but his condition isn’t known.
