City Administrator Jeff Fuchs said a roof leakage issue at the Civic Center has occurred with water coming in between the lobby and the arena.<\/p>\n
He says the leakage is happening stemming from ice build up on the roof, and melting forming ice dams.<\/p>\n
BELCOURT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A North Dakota sheriff’s deputy who was shot and killed in the line of duty is being remembered as a cheerful person who could light up a room.<\/p>\n
Twenty-nine-year-old Colt Allery died last week after he and three other Rolette County deputies exchanged gunfire with a suspect following a vehicle chase. The suspect also was killed.<\/p>\n
Allery’s funeral service was held Tuesday in Belcourt, where he was honored by law enforcement officers from around the country as well as fellow Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa tribal members.<\/p>\n
Rolette County Sheriff Gerald Medrud said Allery had a warm heart and worked hard at his job. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum called Allery “a true warrior.”<\/p>\n
Allery is the 57th law enforcement officer in North Dakota to be killed on the job.<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump has signed executive actions to advance the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines.<\/p>\n
Trump tells reporters in the Oval Office that construction of the pipelines will be subject to the terms and conditions being renegotiated by the U.S.<\/p>\n
Former President Barack Obama killed the proposed Keystone XL pipeline in late 2015, saying it would hurt American efforts to reach a global climate change deal. The pipeline would run from Canada to U.S. refineries in the Gulf Coast. The U.S. government needs to approve the pipeline because it crossed the border.<\/p>\n
The Army decided last year to explore alternate routes for the Dakota Access pipeline after the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters said the pipeline threatened drinking water and Native American cultural sites. The Dakota Access pipeline is set to run from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois.<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump’s executive actions on the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines are aimed at turning the disputed projects into reality, but it’s not clear how quickly that might happen.<\/p>\n
Dakota Access is to carry North Dakota oil to Illinois. It’s nearly complete but stalled while the developer and the Army battle in court over permission for the pipeline to cross under the Missouri River in North Dakota.<\/p>\n
The Keystone XL project was to bring oil from Canada to Nebraska. Former President Barack Obama halted it in late 2015 for environmental reasons.<\/p>\n
Trump’s actions don’t immediately clear the way for construction, and opponents of the projects are likely to fight in court.<\/p>\n
Both projects also have been the focus of intense protests, and Trump’s actions might reinvigorate those efforts.<\/p>\n
\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A North Dakota congressman is asking the Trump administration to provide federal protection if or when construction resumes on the Dakota Access pipeline.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to quickly review and approve construction and easement requests for the $3.8 billion pipeline, a project that has led to major protests. That doesn’t immediately clear the way for construction to resume, but it does order the Corps to quickly consider whether to approve the Lake Oahe crossing, a move opposed by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe which gets its drinking water from the lake.<\/p>\n
Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer has asked Trump to pay for law enforcement costs at the pipeline protest site near Cannon Ball and provide federal police to protect construction workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 An attorney for the Native American tribe that started the movement against the Dakota Access oil pipeline says it will continue its fight in court.<\/p>\n
The Standing Rock Sioux is challenging federal permits at more than 200 water crossings along the pipeline’s route, with the primary fight focused on a reservoir near the tribe’s reservation in southern North Dakota.<\/p>\n
Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners wants to route the pipeline under the Missouri River reservoir, but the Army Corps of Engineers has yet to approve it. That’s the only large chunk of construction left.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump issued an executive action Tuesday advancing construction of the pipeline. Tribal attorney Jan (yahn) Hasselman says if Trump’s action leads to approval of the lake-crossing, the tribe’s fight in court will continue but “the context will shift.”<\/p>\n
Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault (AR’-sham-boh) says the pipeline was unfairly rerouted toward the Standing Rock reservation without the tribe’s consent. He says the pipeline route “risks infringing on our treaty rights, contaminating our water and the water of 17 million Americans downstream.”<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 A new financial analysis says six of the country’s major energy-producing states have slipped into recession.<\/p>\n
The report by S&P Global Ratings says a sharp decline in energy production and exploration over the last 18 months has caused revenue to plummet and job growth to stagnate. The states are Alaska, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Wyoming.<\/p>\n
The budget troubles are not limited to just energy-producing states, although they are among the hardest hit. A recent Associated Press survey found that two-thirds of the states are currently dealing with a budget shortfall or expect to confront one in the coming fiscal year.<\/p>\n
Experts say state economic growth has been slower than expected, with revenue in some places failing to meet projections or keep up with rising spending needs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Employers significantly increased hiring in just three U.S. states last month, while five states reported large cuts.<\/p>\n
The Labor Department says that job totals were little changed in the other 42. Unemployment rates fell noticeably in 10 states and rose in just one.<\/p>\n
The weak gains in most states partly reflect a downshift in hiring nationwide. Employers added 156,000 jobs last month, down from 204,000 in November, and the U.S. unemployment rate ticked up to 4.7 percent from 4.6 percent. In the final three months of last year, hiring averaged 165,000 a month, down from 282,000 a year earlier.<\/p>\n
In all of last year, half the states reported large job gains, while only two \u2014 Wyoming and North Dakota \u2014 lost a significant number of positions.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D<\/span>. (AP) \u2014 A former deputy U.S. marshal who is accused of peeping at women in dressing rooms plans to plead guilty to a federal child porn charge.<\/p>\nAccording to a plea agreement signed last week, Michael Rivera admitted to downloading pictures and videos of young girls from the internet. He admitted to having at least 36 sexually explicit pictures and 52 videos of girls from ages 6 to 11.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 images were found on Rivera’s computer as police were investigating state allegations that he had recorded 19 women in store dressing rooms around Bismarck.<\/p>\n
A plea hearing on the federal count is scheduled for Thursday. Rivera faces trial on the state charges Jan. 30.<\/p>\n
