GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The committee searching for the next president of the University of North Dakota won’t consider the president of the tribal college on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.
Last month, the committee narrowed the field from 41 candidates to 15, then last week decided to also include Minot State University President Steven Shirley. He applied after the application deadline with the blessing of the search committee.
The committee decided against interviewing late applicant Cynthia Lindquist, president of Cankdeska Cikana (kahnk-DEHS’-kuh sih-KAWN’-uh) Community College in Fort Totten.
North Dakota University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott asked the committee to reconsider, but a motion to do so Monday failed for lack of a second.
Robert Kelley retired as UND president last month after nearly seven years at the Grand Forks school.
Bismarck (CSi) The National Weather Service has issued its Flood and Water Resources Outlook…January 2016
This probablistic flood outlook is for the Missouri and James River
basins of North Dakota and covers the period of late January through
late April.
The report points out that there is still a long time remaining in the traditional snow accumulation season and the exact weather conditions during the spring melt are too far out for detailed forecasts.
That being said, the probabilities represent a well below normal risk
of wide spread high water problems during the spring of 2016.
Importantly, the published probabilities do not include risk
of ice jam related high water. Ice jams have proven to be difficult to predict with any degree of mathematical certainty.
…Current Conditions…
Most rivers and streams tend to be low and iced over, which is
normal for this time of year. Reservoirs are all within their
seasonally normal range. Frost thickness in the Bismarck area
is 28 inches, which is not extraordinary for this time of year.
Snow cover and the water content of the snowpack is less than
normal with around an inch of water equivalent near Jamestown, a
quarter of an inch near Bismarck and even less with the recent
warm weather as one goes west and north of Bismarck.
…Weather Outlook…
Winter has thus far been very consistent with the earlier
expectations associated with El Nino as November through late
January has seen well above normal temperatures and normal
to slightly below normal precipitation. This trend is
expected to continue as the one-month and three-month climate
outlooks portray a better than normal chance of below normal
precipitation and above normal temperatures. The current El Nino
is believed to have peaked in December and will transition to
a more neutral signal in late spring to early summer.
The next outlook will be issued toward the end of next month.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bismarck police say a 27-year-old man was shot by two officers outside a mobile home and was taken to a hospital.
The Bismarck Police Department said in a news release that the Bismarck man was shot Sunday night and was undergoing surgery.
Bismarck police say Mandan police had requested they check a location for a vehicle that a suspect left in after a burglary earlier in January. According to Bismarck police, a vehicle matching a description was spotted parking, and the man went inside a mobile home. Police set up a perimeter.
Police say the man later came out, walked quickly toward the vehicle and got inside. Police say he made a quick movement as if reaching for a weapon, and two officers shot him.
According to police, a revolver was recovered from the vehicle’s front seat.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A Virginia man wanted by authorities for allegedly burning a child’s arm with a hot iron has been arrested in North Dakota.
The U.S. Marshal’s Service says 25-year-old Nathan Horn was arrested in Minot this week. The Newport News Police Department issued an arrest warrant in December. He was wanted on charges of malicious wounding of a child and felony child abuse.
Deputy U.S. Marshals in Minot received a request for assistance from a task force in Washington D.C.
Horn was found at an address in Minot and arrested without incident.
He was transported to the Ward County Jail and had his initial appearance in court Friday.
Ward could be extradited back to Virginia.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Faculty members at North Dakota State University plan to conduct research in an effort to make wind power more widespread, reliable and efficient.
The project will be led by Nilanjan Ray Chaudhuri, an assistant professor with the university’s electrical and computer engineering department, and will be funded by a $502,810 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Electrical, Community and Cyber Systems.
Chaudhuri says one of the study’s key aspects will be to research the possibility of using direct current grids. He believes the benefits of a direct current system could one day transform how the nation gets its power.
But he admits the research needed for the system likely will take 30 or more years to perfect.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Houston-based development company says it hopes to start preliminary work on a 55,000-barrel diesel refinery site in the next two months and begin construction by this summer. The Bismarck Tribune reports Meridian Energy Group Incorporated still needs to summit a zoning application to the Billings County Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposed site would be between Fryburg and Belfield.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston could see fewer neon-colored signs that are frequently used by businesses under proposed changes.
A closed-door meeting was held earlier this month for heads of the city’s planning department and those representing the Builders Association, the Realtors Association, and the Chamber of Commerce to hear proposed changes to the city’s signage ordinance.
Senior planner Rachel Laqua said she had compiled surveys from the community and had made changes based on what the community was asking for in an effort to tidy up Williston. One of the biggest changes would be a limitation on the amount of time a portable sign can be used to advertise certain events, sales or specials.
The changes are based on a comprehensive plan that was adopted pre-oil boom.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The 63rd Annual National Hard Spring Wheat Show is this week in Williston.

There’s no charge to attend the show, but people who want to listen to the speakers need to buy a meal ticket. Meals are $10 each and can be purchased at the door.

North Dakota State led by 10 after Miller’s 3 with 8:38 to go, but IUPUI used a 12-point run to get back in it.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Despite struggling in his major league debut last season, Byron Buxton still has a strong chance to be the Minnesota Twins’ starting center fielder on opening day.
