Marisol Heidrich, of Minot, North Dakota, contends that Mickelson Ranch and its owners are negligent, because they allegedly failed to take steps that would have prevented her injuries.<\/p>\n

Heidrich is seeking more than $75,000 in compensation from the ranch and its father-and-son owners, Sam and Travis Mickelson.<\/p>\n

Heidrich’s attorney says she and her husband were traveling on their motorcycles to the Sturgis rally in August 2014 when a buffalo cow charged Heidrich, knocking her off her motorcycle and stomping on her head.<\/p>\n

The Rapid City Journal reports the Mickelsons deny any negligence and have asked the court to dismiss the complaint.<\/p>\n

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) \u2014 Results from a monthly survey of business supply managers suggest a slight improvement in the economic conditions in nine Midwest and Plains states.<\/p>\n

The Mid-America Business Conditions Index report released Monday says the overall economic index for the region rose to 61.4 in April from 60.1 in March.<\/p>\n

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says the figures suggest strong growth for both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing through the third quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth in that factor. A score below that suggests decline.<\/p>\n

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Things are looking up for North Dakota’s hotel industry, after a year of declines.<\/p>\n

The Bismarck Tribune reports hotel demand has seen an uptick since the state saw its lowest point in July.<\/p>\n

Last year, rooms filled dropped to 4.4 million from 5.5 million in 2015. Occupancy rates were also down 9.1 percentage points and annual revenue was down 16 percent.<\/p>\n

In the last two months, the industry rose 11.5 percent compared to the same time period in 2016.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Waite, of Smith Travel Research, expects an industry growth equivalent to national rates of 1 percent to 2 percent.<\/p>\n

The state’s hotel supply has grown to 24,572 hotel rooms, the equivalent of 9 million available rooms for 2017.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Both Dakotas and tribes in the two states are getting federal grant money for historic preservation work.<\/p>\n

The grants are through the Interior Department and National Park Service. They’re aimed at efforts that help preserve historic places, culture and traditions.<\/p>\n

The state of North Dakota is getting about $437,000 and South Dakota nearly $443,000.<\/p>\n

Eleven tribes in the two states also are getting money, ranging from $27,000 for the Crow Creek Sioux to more than $46,000 for the Cheyenne River Sioux.<\/p>\n

Both are in South Dakota. Other tribes in that state getting funds are the Flandreau Santee, Oglala, Yankton and Rosebud Sioux tribes, and the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate.<\/p>\n

In North Dakota, the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux are getting grants, along with the Three Affiliated Tribes and Turtle Mountain Chippewa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Transit ridership in Bismarck-Mandan took a substantial dip during the winter.<\/p>\n

Bis-Man Transit reports ridership was down 28 percent for March compared with the same month last year.<\/p>\n

The drop happened while buses were still operating on old routes and before the transit system implemented a new set of routes, going from 12 to six direct, out-and-back routes.<\/p>\n

Several members on the Transit Board of Directors said they are concerned, since ridership is expected to drop further as the new routes are implemented. Executive Director Roy Rickert says ridership is then expected to rise again as people get used to the routes.<\/p>\n

Rickert says his staff is still trying to determine the reason for the dip in winter ridership.<\/p>\n

Valley City\u00a0\u00a0 (Mark Potts, VCSU)\u00a0 Valley City State track and field athletes Lenzel Koskela and Seri Geisler both won individual event titles on Saturday during the Al Cassell Relays in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Koskela ran the top time in the conference this season as he won the men\u2019s 400 meter dash, while Geisler continued her dominant spring with another title in the women\u2019s javelin. Those two performances were among 28 Top 10 finishes for Viking athletes Saturday.<\/p>\n

Koskela crossed the 400 meter finish line in a time of 49.99 seconds, which is the top time in the North Star Athletic Association this season. It\u2019s also the fifth fastest 400 time in VCSU history, and the first sub-50 time at VCSU in more than 25 years. Steve Fike was the last Viking athlete to break the 50-second mark at VCSU with his time of 49.55 in 1989.<\/p>\n

Geisler won the women\u2019s javelin throw for the fourth time this spring, recording a throw of 46.16 meters on Saturday. She has now won the event in four out of five meets that she has competed at this season. Geisler also set a new school record in the women\u2019s shot put Saturday with a toss of 13.39 meters (43 feet, 11.25 inches). It is the third time Geisler has broken the outdoor shot put school record, extending her school-best mark from earlier this season. She placed fifth in the event Saturday and was the top non-NCAA division I finisher.<\/p>\n

Keauna Hansen set a new career-best time in the 200-meter dash as she placed fourth in the event and added a fifth-place finish in the 100. Megan Johnson had a pair of Top 4 finishes, placing second in the high jump and fourth in the long jump. Kaitlin Connor placed third in the women\u2019s triple jump.<\/p>\n

On the men\u2019s side, Isaiah Tivis had a pair of Top 5\u2032s in the sprints with a third in the 100 and a fourth in the 200. Garret Roemmich placed third in men\u2019s javelin and Orin Rambow took fourth in the 800. Ellwood Ellenson recorded a career-best throw in the javelin as he finished with two fourth-place finishes in the javelin and men\u2019s triple jump.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were fortunate to have several very strong performances due to the nice weather with very little wind,\u201d said head coach Chris Johnson. \u201cIt was a great tune-up for us at Jamestown because this is where we will be competing in two weeks for the NSAA conference meet.\u00a0We will have a very well-rested squad for that competition and I look forward to our student-athletes continuing to step up when it counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota will become the latest state to allow the killing of North American river otters if the state’s governor signs off.<\/p>\n

Game and Fish officials in July will recommend to Gov. Doug Burgum that the state hold a four-month otter trapping season beginning in late November, with a limit of 15 animals.<\/p>\n

Experts say the U.S. otter population is thriving thanks to improvements in water quality, reintroduction programs in many states and regulated harvests. Game and Fish biologist Stephanie Tucker says enough otters have moved into eastern North Dakota from Minnesota to warrant a trapping season.<\/p>\n

Animal welfare groups worry the expansion of otter trapping in the U.S. and Canada in recent decades isn’t sustainable. But so far there’s no organized effort to oppose North Dakota’s proposal.<\/p>\n

NASCAR-RICHMOND<\/p>\n

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) \u2014 Joey Logano has won Sunday’s Monster Energy Cup race at Richmond despite starting near the back of the line.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Members of the House and Senate are expected to vote as early as Wednesday on a newly-minted, more than $1 trillion catchall spending bill to bankroll most government operations through the end of September. Compromises and concessions were made by both Democrats and Republicans as they came to an accord late last night. Among other things, the bill now made public would deny President Donald Trump the start-up money he sought for a southern wall between the United States and Mexico.<\/p>\n

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) \u2014 A yearlong investigation by The Associated Press has found roughly 17,000 official reports of sexual assaults by students in K-12 schools over a four-year period. The numbers are the most complete tally of such assaults among the nation’s 50 million K-12 students, but academic estimates range sharply higher; schools have no national requirement to track or disclose sexual violence, and they feel tremendous pressure to hide it.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is attacking the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, as a “bad leader” and says the Democrats are “never going to win another election.” The president also suggested that congressional Republicans are still learning how to govern and will eventually unite. Trump made his remarks during an interview that airs Monday on “CBS This Morning.”<\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO (AP) \u2014 Police shot and killed a 49-year-old man suspected of shooting seven people Sunday at a birthday pool party in an apartment complex near the University of California, San Diego. Chief Shelley Zimmerman says a man shot four women and three men. All the shooting victims were taken to hospitals. One of the women later died. Police have identified the dead suspect as Peter Selis, who they say lived in the complex, but have not discovered a motive.<\/p>\n
