FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A large sinkhole has opened at a busy Fargo intersection.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A driver called 911 about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to report the sinkhole in the road at the intersection of 42nd Street and 9th Avenue South.?
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police used their squad cars to barricade the street and re-direct traffic around the sinkhole until street barriers could be put up.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The hole is about 8 feet wide by 10 feet long and varies in depth.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Public Works Supervisor Lee Anderson says it appears the street collapse was the result of a problem with a large sewer pipe.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Neon Caldwell of Jacksonville, Florida died at the scene at about 5:40 a.m. on Saturday.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Williston mother of four and her boyfriend have been sentenced on child abuse charges.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 25-year-old Daniel Kempton pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse, and ingesting a controlled substance. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-one-year-old Stephanie Johnsrud was sentenced to 10 years of supervised probation and given credit for the 47 days she had spent in jail.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kempton was arrested last July at the Williston home he shared with Johnsrud, after authorities discovered fresh bruises on Johnsrud’s children.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors say a 3-year-old boy also suffered several fractured bones and no medical attention was sought for the child.

\u00a0 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has upheld a court order requiring a Minot man to nearly $50,000 in restitution for shooting and severely injuring his girlfriend.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Robert Putney Jr. was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to four years in prison for shooting the woman in the stomach in 2014. A judge ordered Putney pay nearly $50,000, or about half of the victim’s total medical bill.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He appealed the conviction to the Supreme Court, arguing that double jeopardy should apply because he had previously pleaded guilty to simple assault in municipal court. He argued that he can’t be tried twice for the same crime. Putney also argued a judge abused his discretion when he ordered Putney to pay the restitution.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Supreme Court disagreed.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Some brand inspection fees are going up in North Dakota, starting Friday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association says the per-head inspection fee will go from $1 to $1.50. The permanent horse permit fee will rise from $10 to $25.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The registered feedlot permit fee will go from $20 to $25, and the per-head registered feedlot fee from 10 cents to 50 cents.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Farmers Union says it will fight for price protections for milk to stimulate the state’s slumping dairy industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Farmers Union President Mark Watne\u00a0 says\u00a0his group has joined charters from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and California to lobby lawmakers for a higher price point that will cover the cost of milk production.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota led the campaign to reverse the Legislature’s decision last year to exempt pork and dairy operations from the state’s anti-corporate farming law. North Dakota voters overwhelmingly rejected the law last month.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State agriculture data show the number of dairy farms in North Dakota has decreased from about 540 in 2002 to fewer than 90 at present<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says American white pelicans are nesting at a central North Dakota refuge in near-record numbers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge Manager Neil Shook says an aerial count shows 33,694 breeding adults. That’s up from about 27,000 birds last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The white pelican colony at the refuge north of Medina peaked at 35,466 birds in 2000. The pelicans winter mainly in the Gulf Coast states but some fly to North Dakota from as far away as California to nest on the island.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The pelicans normally stay in North Dakota through September, raising their young and feasting at small prairie ponds within a 100-mile radius of the refuge.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The president of Bismarck State College says 15 employees are retiring by the end of this year and most of them have been driven out by statewide budget cuts.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President Larry Skogen says he expects more retirements from teachers and staff to be announced as the school grapples with a shrinking budget due to depressed oil and crop prices.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota United represents thousands of teachers across the state. President Nick Archuleta says he’s heard from teachers across the entire North Dakota University System.
