Fong says taxable sales and purchases in the state during the last three months of 2012 totaled about $6.7 billion, up nearly 10 percent over the year. For calendar year 2012, the number was $25.2 billion, up about 29 percent.<\/p>\n
Fong says all industries in North Dakota reported growth in 2012.<\/p>\n
In the region, taxable sales and purchased for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, were;<\/p>\n

\u00a0DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – There’s a good chance that Devils Lake will rise this summer to within a half-foot of its 2011 record elevation of 1,454.3 feet.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The National Weather Service says there is an equal chance the lake will hit 1,453.8 feet this year. That’s half a foot higher than an outlook released in early May.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The increase is attributed to heavy rains that dropped more than 4 inches on parts of the Devils Lake Basin over the past week and a half. And more rain is expected this week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Devils Lake rose about 32 feet and quadrupled in size between 1992 and 2011, devouring an estimated 161,000 acres of farmland.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An arrest warrant has been issued for a former North Dakota State University football player accused of not serving his community service time that was ordered after he admitted forging signatures on an election petition last fall.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-one-year-old Don Carter was one of 15 defendants who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of faking signatures on failed petitions seeking statewide votes to establish an outdoor heritage fund and legalize medical marijuana.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He’s accused of not completing his court-mandated community service.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carter was due in court on Tuesday, but a spokeswoman for the Cass County Attorney’s Office\u00a0says \u00a0he didn’t show up. Authorities then issued an arrest warrant.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An arrest warrant was issued last month for another defendant who is also accused of failing to complete his community service.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two North Dakota men have been sentenced to prison for driving while drunk and killing another driver or passenger.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U. S. Attorney Timothy Purdon announced Wednesday that 36-year-old Louis John Dunn was sentenced to three years and five months in prison. Dunn pleaded guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter in March.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors say Dunn was driving drunk last October when he drove into the lane of on-coming traffic and struck Andrew Greywater, who later died from his injuries. The incident occurred on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Purdon also announced that 38-year-old Jamie Lee Belgarde, of St. Michael, was sentenced to two years in prison. Belgarde pleaded guilty to rolling his vehicle after driving drunk and killing a passenger, his brother Donald Belgarde Jr.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A preliminary medical examiner’s report says a man who died several weeks after he reportedly hit his head during a scuffle outside of a Fargo strip club died from blunt head injury.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-eight-year-old Christopher Barr was allegedly pushed by a club employee during a fight at the Northern Gentleman’s Club on April 13. He died about a month later.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo Deputy Police Chief Pat Claus says the investigation into Barr’s death remains open. Claus says he would not release details of the death, including the manner of death or whether Barr had alcohol or drugs in his system.

CAVALIER, N.D. (AP) – It will be weeks before a dollar figure is placed on flood damage in northeastern North Dakota’s Pembina County.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Emergency Manager Andrew Kirking tells KFGO radio that it’s easy to see that there’s “a ton of damage” to infrastructure, but officials are still tallying how much. And farmers aren’t able to get into their fields yet to check on damage.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The flooding was caused by five days of steady rain. Water overwhelmed the small town of Crystal, and pressure on a dam on the Tongue River prompted the precautionary 2\u00a0 1\/2-day evacuation of the city of Cavalier.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dennis Reep with the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service says the chain of 10 earthen retention dams on the Tongue River withstood the flooding with only minor damage.<\/p>\n

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Funeral services have been scheduled for former North Dakota state Rep. Gordon Berg.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gilbertson Funeral Home says Berg died at a Devils Lake nursing home on Saturday, four days shy of his 86th birthday. His funeral is 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Devils Lake, followed by a burial in the Devils Lake Cemetery.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Berg served seven terms in the state House as a Democrat, from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. He also was active in water issues in the Devils Lake Basin for many years.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Dickinson truck driver has been sentenced for illegally dumping salt water in the western North Dakota oil patch.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says it’s the first criminal conviction for a violation of state Industrial Commission rules. He says the group that regulates the oil and gas industry in the state wants to send a message that anyone who intentionally pollutes the environment will face serious consequences.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Salt water is a waste product of oil production. Benjamin LeBaron was accused of illegally dumping it in Williams County last August.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LeBaron pleaded guilty to a felony charge and was given a one-year suspended jail sentence, ordered to pay $1,025 in fines and fees, and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service. His attorney calls it a fair sentence.<\/p>\n

BEIRUT (AP) – Syria’s foreign minister says Bashar Assad will remain Syria’s president at least until scheduled elections in 2014 and may run for another term. Syria’s main opposition group has demanded Assad’s departure top the agenda of peace talks, tentatively planned for next month in Geneva. In an interview with a Lebanese TV station, the Syrian foreign minister says his government would attend the talks “with every good intention,” but any deal reached would have to be put to a referendum.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is declining to confirm reports that a U.S. drone killed the Pakistani Taliban’s second-in-command. But spokesman Jay Carney says if the reports are true, the death of Waliur Rehman (wah-lee-UR’ REH’-man) would deprive the militant group of its chief military strategist who he says was involved in “horrific attacks” against America at a CIA base in Afghanistan and against Pakistani civilians and soldiers.
