commonsense measure that would offer older citizens an opportunity to continue participating in the sport they love, and a better chance of getting a good, clean shot, rather than a glancing or wounding shot, when hunting deer. Some folks in the great state of North Dakota still enjoy hunting with muzzleloaders and are willing to put in the time, effort and skill necessary to hunt using an antique-style firearm. These folks enjoy the sport enough to continue doing it into their golden years when, for some, the use of a scope could make a difference in helping them secure a clean shot. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs a\u00a0young man of 53-years-old myself, who nonetheless wears bifocals, I know that allowing seniors to use scopes on muzzleloading firearms would benefit many seasoned sportsmen in North Dakota. It was encouraging to see such strong bipartisan support for this bill in the Senate, where it passed overwhelmingly, and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing to work on this legislation, and perhaps getting it reconsidered in the House.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The news release goes on to say, <strong>Senator Grabinger\u2019s bipartisan bill would allow hunters over the age of 65 to use scopes with up to 4-power magnification on muzzleloading firearms.<\/strong> SB 2282 passed the Senate on a strong bipartisan vote of 44 \u201cyeas,\u201d 2 \u201cnays.\u201d It was narrowly defeated in the House on a vote of 44 \u201cyeas\u201d and 47 \u201cnays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota already allows senior sportsmen the option of using scopes on their firearms during the muzzleloading season, but only with 1-power magnification. Minnesota, on the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/?id=97B.031&amp;format=pdf\">allows individuals older than 60 to use scopes<\/a> with magnification on muzzleloading firearms.

(AP-CSi) \u2014 Authorities have identified a 35-year-old man who died after he crashed driving the wrong way on U.S. Highway 2 near Grand Forks.<\/p>\n<p>The North Dakota Highway Patrol says 35 year old Brent Northagen of Fordville, was driving a Ford Crown Victoria eastbound in the westbound lane Sunday about 1:40-a.m., when he struck a bridge seven miles west of Grand Forks.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford came to rest near the edge of a creek.\u00a0 Northagen was dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The report says Northagen was not wearing a seat belt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Attorneys for the two Sioux Indian tribes leading the legal fight against the Dakota Access pipeline say the battle will continue even after oil begins flowing. They say the judge could still order the pipeline shut down \u2014 and that&#8217;s what the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River tribes will seek. The judge has refused to stop the completion of the $3.8 billion pipeline to move North Dakota oil to Illinois while the legal arguments play out.<\/p>\n<p>Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners says it could be moving oil through the Dakota Access pipeline as early as next week.<\/p>\n<p>The company is finishing up construction under the Lake Oahe Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota \u2014 the last piece of work for the $3.8 billion pipeline to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>American Indian tribes that rely on the lake continue fighting in court, fearing contamination from a pipeline leak.<\/p>\n<p>Oil already is in parts of the line leading up to the lake. ETP says in court documents it&#8217;s likely to put oil under the lake next week.<\/p>\n<p>Spokeswoman Vicki Granado says it would take about three weeks to get the oil to Illinois. At that point the pipeline would be considered fully operational.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 B-52 bombers from Minot Air Force Base will deploy to the Middle East for combat operations for the first time in 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>Minot&#8217;s bombers are replacing Barksdale, Louisiana bombers.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Air Force announced it would be sending B-52 Stratofortresses into the battle against the Islamic State group. According to Air Force information, the Barksdale Air Force Base bombers were the first ones sent.<\/p>\n<p>The B-52 is a long-range bomber, capable of flying high subsonic speeds at altitudes up to 50,000 feet. It can perform an assortment of missions and is capable of dropping or launching the widest range of weapons in the U.S. inventory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 When a farmer was ticketed for not feeding a parking meter, he launched a one-man crusade that made North Dakota the nation&#8217;s only state that bans the meters on all public streets.<\/p>\n<p>Now the governor is quietly trying to end the nearly 70-year ban, and the farmer&#8217;s granddaughter is fighting to uphold her family&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Howard Henry received the fateful ticket in the 1940s in Minot. He said parking meters were unneeded in a wide-open state.<\/p>\n<p>By reintroducing meters, Gov. Doug Burgum hopes to encourage more parking turnover, leading to more retail sales for businesses and more tax revenue for communities and the state.<\/p>\n<p>Former state Sen. JoNell Bakke of Grand Forks is Henry&#8217;s granddaughter.

The revised ban applies to citizens of six Muslim majority countries who apply for new visas \u2014 Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan. It has dropped Iraq from the list due to concerns over security cooperation. The new ban also suspends the entire refugee program for four months to allow for a security review.<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Trump administration is moving to roll back federal fuel-economy requirements that would have forced automakers to significantly increase the efficiency of new cars and trucks.
