Dragonfly species distributions have been shown to be especially sensitive to climate change. It is predicted that southern species may expand northward and northern species may have their distributions greatly decreased by warming temperatures.<\/p>\n Since current distributions of dragonflies in North Dakota are not well known, Zander is traveling throughout the state collecting and documenting species to help benchmark their distribution.<\/p>\n Zander is conducting his research under the auspices of the Center for Regional Climate Studies (CRCS) at the University of North Dakota. VCSU is an associated institution of the CRCS.<\/p>\n His research is funded by a grant award from the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) pilot program of the North Dakota Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Zander is one of five North Dakota university students selected for an REU grant this summer.<\/p>\n North Dakota EPSCoR is a federal- and state-funded program designed to improve the ability of university and college researchers to compete more effectively for federal, regional and private research grants in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities in Bismarck are investigating two suspicious vehicle fires. <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A 19-year-old Bismarck man accused of shooting at a woman has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n Authorities allege Trevor Peterson fired at the woman in May after he tried to sell drugs to her and a man outside of an apartment building and they refused the offer.<\/p>\n Peterson’s attorney has said his client was severely intoxicated when the incident happened. A judge in June ordered Peterson to undergo addiction treatment.<\/p>\n Defense attorney William Kirschner said Monday that he’s awaiting reports from the treatment facility. Judge Cynthia Feland scheduled a hearing next week to determine if Peterson’s $100,000 bond will be reduced.<\/p>\n A jury trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 28.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot police are looking for whoever crashed a pickup truck through the wall of a hotel and then fled the scene.<\/p>\n Authorities say the truck went through an outside wall of the Sleep Inn & Suites and into a conference room about 10 p.m. Sunday. No one inside the hotel was hurt.<\/p>\n A damage estimate was not immediately released.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Dunseith woman accused of sexually abusing a boy has been sentenced to six months in prison and six months of home confinement.<\/p>\n Raelynn Thiefoe pleaded guilty in March to a federal charge of sexual abuse of a minor. Authorities say she engaged in a sexual act last year with a boy between the age of 12 and 16.<\/p>\n In handing down the sentence, U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson said Thiefoe has a diminished learning capacity and is easily manipulated.<\/p>\n Thiefoe was ordered to undergo chemical dependency screening and treatment. Erickson says she must serve five years of supervised release.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HALLIDAY, N.D. (AP) – A truck that rolled over in Dunn County spilled more than 5,000 gallons of a mixture of oil and saltwater over the weekend.<\/p>\n The North Dakota Department of Health says the incident happened Saturday about seven miles north of Halliday.<\/p>\n The department says the truck spilled about 5,040 gallons of produced water and about one-fourth of that has been recovered. The agency says an undetermined amount of produced water flowed through a culvert and into a stock pond.<\/p>\n Produced water is a mixture of saltwater and oil and can contain drilling chemicals.<\/p>\n High Ball Transport owns the truck. Its representatives could not be reached for comment Monday as a phone number for the company available in a public listing appeared to be disconnected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are back in Bismarck for a special session to address a budget shortfall. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A federal judge has blocked North Dakota’s voter identification law after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them. It’s the latest court ruling against voting laws that critics say disproportionately affect minorities. U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland issued a temporary restraining order and criticized the state for its 2013 repeal of provisions that let people without valid IDs vote if someone vouched for them.<\/p>\n WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston officials have finished drafting a new ordinance to eliminate oil field crew camps in city limits.<\/p>\n Federal Judge Daniel Hovland in June issued a preliminary injunction preventing Williston from enforcing a July 1 shut-down deadline. His decision was based on a possible technical error by the City Commission when the group voted in November 2015 to approve the date.<\/p>\n The City Commission then voted to draft a new ordinance, and the work is done. The commission is expected to vote on it sometime this month.<\/p>\n The ordinance mirrors the earlier version, with the addition of a reclamation provision. It sets a Sept. 1 occupancy deadline, with companies given about another two years to clean up and reclaim crew camp sites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The University of Mary in Bismarck has hired a well-known public figure to lead its new Master of Public Administration Program.<\/p>\n William Goetz (gehtz) is a former chief of staff for two governors, a five-year chancellor of the North Dakota University System, and for two decades, a state senator and representative.<\/p>\n Former President Ronald Reagan also once appointed Goetz to serve on the National Advisory Council on Educational Research.<\/p>\n Mary President James Shea (shay) says Goetz “models true servant leadership.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Federal Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro is hosting the first Great Plains Conference on Indian Housing.<\/p>\n The event is Tuesday at the Ramada Inn in Bismarck, North Dakota.
