(AP) \u2014 Prosecutors have charged a North Dakota man with making threats against the state&#8217;s Democratic senator, Heidi Heitkamp.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-five-year-old Kevin Lee Olson, of Fargo, made his initial appearance in court Tuesday on a charge of having made a threatening communication. He told the judge he doesn&#8217;t want an attorney and a detention hearing was scheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities allege that Olson sent an email to the senator&#8217;s office last month threatening to shoot her in the head. Although court documents didn&#8217;t specify which senator had been threatened, Heitkamp&#8217;s office confirmed it was she.<\/p>\n<p>Heitkamp reports,\u00a0 her office notified the authorities, who decided it was serious enough to warrant intervention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The cost of policing the Dakota Access pipeline protests in North Dakota is at least $22 million \u2014 more than $5 million more than the state set aside last year.<\/p>\n<p>Protest-related funding decisions will be made by state lawmakers during the 2017 session. Leaders of the House and Senate appropriation committees say more funding will be approved, though the amount and method isn&#8217;t known.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jeff Delzer says state officials also still hope the federal government will help with funding.<\/p>\n<p>The four-state, $3.8 billion pipeline is to carry North Dakota oil to Illinois. Opponents believe the project threatens drinking water and Native American cultural sites, which Texas-based developer Energy Transfer Partners denies.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents built a protest encampment in southern North Dakota. There have been nearly 600 arrests since August.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota&#8217;s Republican-led Senate has rejected a measure to update state law to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s 2015 decision that same-sex couples have the right to marry.<\/p>\n<p>The bill failed 15-31 on Tuesday. It would have updated dozens of references, such as &#8220;husband and wife,&#8221; to gender-neutral terms.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota law lists &#8220;one man, one woman&#8221; or &#8220;husband and wife&#8221; for everything from marriages and divorces to fishing licenses.<\/p>\n<p>The measure got a hearing last week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which voted 4-2 to recommend against passage.<\/p>\n<p>Committee chairman Sen. Kelly Armstrong, a Republican, says rejecting the measure is only symbolic since same-sex marriage is now legal nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The chairman of North Dakota&#8217;s oil-rich Fort Berthold Reservation has renewed threats to pull out of a revenue sharing agreement with the state.<\/p>\n<p>Three Affiliated Tribes Chairman Mark Fox told the North Dakota House&#8217;s Finance and Taxation Committee Tuesday that a measure that would cut tax increases for producers if oil prices rebound above $90 a barrel is a violation of the tax agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The Legislature in 2015 passed a measure that abolished most price-based incentives in exchange for a lower tax rate. The tribes have opposed tax cuts because they say more money is needed to pay for consequences of oil development on the reservation.<\/p>\n<p>House Majority Leader Al Carlson says the state gained about $450 million in the past year by cutting the price incentives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In sports&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The usual spectacle of colonies of ice houses is missing from many lakes in North Dakota this winter.<\/p>\n<p>The Minot Daily News reports that the reason is too much snow, which suffocates access points to lakes and makes travel on lakes virtually impossible.<\/p>\n<p>During the North American Ice Fishing Circuit&#8217;s national qualifying tournament at Lake Metigoshe on Sunday, participants weren&#8217;t able to use vehicles to move about the lake from one fishing area to the other as they typically do.<\/p>\n<p>Myron Langehaug of Bottineau says the lake had open water when the winter storms began to ascend on the region. The snow on top of the lake provided a barrier of insulation as the body of water froze. As a result, many areas of the lake were somewhat slushy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"BlockTable\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Barnes County Tournament<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>First Round<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Finley-Sharon\/Hope-Page 57, LaMoure-Litchville-Marion 38<\/p>\n<p>Griggs County Central 58, Enderlin 38<\/p>\n<p>Maple Valley 51, Sargent Central 40<\/p>\n<p>Milnor-North Sargent 80, Barnes County North 28<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Tournament resumes Friday at 3 p.m. with Barnes County North and LaMoure-Litchville\/Marion.<\/p>\n<p>Then Enderlin plays Sargent Central.<\/p>\n<p>The semifinals start at 6 p.m. with MNS and BCN, with GCC and\u00a0Maple Valley\u00a020 minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Boy&#8217;s Basketball&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Valley City 61, Lisbon 44<\/p>\n<p>Beulah 73, Hettinger\/Scranton 66<\/p>\n<p>Bismarck High 78, Mandan 70<\/p>\n<p>Carrington 76, Midkota 46<\/p>\n<p>Cavalier 58, Midway-Minto 50<\/p>\n<p>Central Cass 51, Wyndmere-Lidgerwood 37<\/p>\n<p>Des Lacs-Burlington 81, Towner-Granville-Upham 49<\/p>\n<p>Dickinson 73, Bismarck Century 59<\/p>\n<p>Dickinson Trinity 76, New England 28<\/p>\n<p>Drake\/Anamoose 52, Nedrose 42<\/p>\n<p>Fargo Oak Grove Lutheran 90, Tri-State 56<\/p>\n<p>Grafton\/St. Thomas 66, Drayton\/Valley-Edinburg 43<\/p>\n<p>Grand Forks Red River 77, Wahpeton 58<\/p>\n<p>Hazen 80, Mandaree 77<\/p>\n<p>Heart River 55, Glen Ullin-Hebron 47, OT<\/p>\n<p>Hillsboro\/Central Valley 59, Larimore 49<\/p>\n<p>Kenmare 92, Glenburn 67<\/p>\n<p>Lemmon, S.D. 61, Bowman County 52<\/p>\n<p>Lewis and Clark-Berthold 73, Stanley 68<\/p>\n<p>May Port CG 46, Hatton-Northwood 33<\/p>\n<p>Minot 102, Turtle Mountain 68<\/p>\n<p>Minot Bishop Ryan 76, Velva\/Sawyer 47<\/p>\n<p>Mott-Regent 60, Killdeer 40<\/p>\n<p>New Rockford-Sheyenne 68, Warwick 42<\/p>\n<p>North Shore &#8211; Plaza 68, Surrey 41<\/p>\n<p>Northern Cass 68, Thompson 59<\/p>\n<p>Park River\/Fordville Lankin 45, North Border 38<\/p>\n<p>Powers Lake 74, Ray 51<\/p>\n<p>Richardton-Taylor 67, Beach 63<\/p>\n<p>Rolla 68, Lakota 60<\/p>\n<p>Rugby 71, Westhope-Newburg 58<\/p>\n<p>Sheyenne 58, West Fargo 55<\/p>\n<p>Shiloh Christian 71, Grant County 20<\/p>\n<p>Standing Rock 63, New Salem-Almont 48<\/p>\n<p>Strasburg-Zeeland 61, Kidder County 49<\/p>\n<p>Washburn 66, Center-Stanton 46<\/p>\n<p>Watford City 61, Tioga 32<\/p>\n<p>Wilton-Wing 67, Max 48<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"BlockTable\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>GIRLS BASKETBALL<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lisbon 49, Valley City 46<\/p>\n<p>Bismarck Century 79, Dickinson 22<\/p>\n<p>Bottineau 36, Rolette-Wolford 32<\/p>\n<p>Bowman County 56, Harding County, S.D. 39<\/p>\n<p>Center-Stanton 56, Washburn 40<\/p>\n<p>Divide County 51, Stanley 49<\/p>\n<p>Four Winds\/Minnewauken 58, Benson County 54, OT<\/p>\n<p>Grand Forks Red River 67, Wahpeton 57<\/p>\n<p>Harvey-Wells County 65, Dakota Prairie 24<\/p>\n<p>Kidder County 60, Strasburg-Zeeland 14<\/p>\n<p>Kittson County Central, Minn. 102, North Border 75<\/p>\n<p>Langdon-Edmore-Munich (All sports) 69, St. John 38<\/p>\n<p>Medina-Pingree-Buchanan 55, Napoleon 44<\/p>\n<p>Minot Our Redeemer&#8217;s 79, Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood 57<\/p>\n<p>North Star 66, Dunseith 28<\/p>\n<p>South Border 58, Linton-HMB 41<\/p>\n<p>Surrey 46, North Shore &#8211; Plaza 24<\/p>\n<p>Trenton 37, Kenmare 31<\/p>\n<p>Turtle Mountain 50, Minot 35<\/p>\n<p>West Fargo 45, Sheyenne 44<\/p>\n<p>Wilton-Wing 41, Max 33<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"BlockTable\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Bismarck Invitational<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Bismarck High 79, Mandan 76<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Boys Basketball&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mandan 3 Jamestown 1<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION<\/p>\n<p>Final Washington 101 Chicago 99<\/p>\n<p>Final Toronto 114 Boston 106<\/p>\n<p>Final Atlanta 117 Brooklyn 97<\/p>\n<p>Final Houston 121 Charlotte 114<\/p>\n<p>Final Milwaukee 109 San Antonio 107<\/p>\n<p>Final Utah 100 Cleveland 92<\/p>\n<p>Final Portland 108 L.A.
