\u00a0VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – Portable heaters are being blamed for a Valley City house fire that led to a close call for a mother and two children and injured a firefighter.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fire Chief Gary Retterath tells KOVC radio that two portable heaters were placed too close to a bed in the home’s basement, igniting the Jan. 28 blaze.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Linda Schonert and her children escaped the burning house by jumping from a second-floor bedroom window. They suffered scratches on their legs when they hit a porch roof and then fell to the ground.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One firefighter suffered smoke inhalation as he was turning off the natural gas connection to the house.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-seven people applied to succeed President David Fuller, who’s retiring in June. The search committee pared the list last month and on Tuesday interviewed the eight remaining finalists by videoconference.

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The Ward County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident in which shots were fired at a home just east of Minot.
\n\u00a0
\nNeighbors reported hearing gunshots about 3 a.m. Tuesday, and the homeowners discovered the damage a couple of hours later. Three people were home at the time and no one was hurt.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One bullet was found in the home’s kitchen and two more were found in a bedroom that was unoccupied at the time of the shooting.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sherriff’s Lt. Larry Hubbard says authorities don’t know if the home was targeted or if the shooting was random.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A judge who sentenced a North Dakota man to more than three years in prison for burning down a church has now ordered him to pay back more than $350,000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Phoenix Martinez, of Cannonball, pleaded guilty in June to arson. Authorities say he set fire to the St. James Episcopal Church on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in July 2012. The church was destroyed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland in September sentenced Martinez to 40 months in prison. The sentence for restitution was delayed until last week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – MDU Resources Group Inc. has reported an increase in profits for 2013, helped by record earnings in its construction services business and an increase n natural gas sales.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bismarck-based energy, mining and construction company says its profits for 2013 rose to $278.2 million, or $1.47 per share. That’s up from a loss of $1.4 million, 1 cent per share in 2012.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MDU says its construction services business had record earnings of $52.2 million last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The utility business reported earnings of $72.5 million. That’s a 21 percent increase over 2012.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MDU is the parent company of Montana-Dakota Utilities. The company says colder-than-normal temperatures at the beginning and end of 2013 helped increase natural gas sales by 15 percent.<\/p>\n

FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) – A woman has been found dead in her home with an empty propane tank on the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tribal and Sioux County authorities told The Bismarck Tribune and KXMB-TV that Debbie Dogskin was found dead on Tuesday morning in a Fort Yates mobile home. She was in her early 50s.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities haven’t specifically tied Dogskin’s death to a lack of propane, but the overnight low temperature dropped to about zero that day. A cause of death was not announced and the Bureau of Indian Affairs declined comment.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The tribe has declared a state of emergency because about 5,000 homes on the reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border are heated by propane. The fuel has more than doubled in price because of a nationwide shortage.<\/p>\n

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Williston man facing numerous charges in an alleged rampage at a Home of Economy store could enter pleas soon.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents show Richard Colvin faces a hearing Monday on felony charges of robbery, aggravated assault and drug paraphernalia possession, along with misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief, theft of property and simple assault. The documents don’t list an attorney for him.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities allege Colvin on Jan. 26 assaulted several store employees after being confronted about taking theft detection devices off merchandise. Police say one worker suffered a cut arm when shoved into a pane of glass, and another suffered knife scrapes to his face.
\n\u00a0
\nDamage to the store is estimated at $1,550.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police also allege Colvin tried to hide drug syringes in a patrol car.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – TransCanada Corp. says it has a waiting list of U.S. oil shippers who want to use an onramp to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Canadian company announced three years ago that it secured contracts to move crude from the oilfields of North Dakota and Montana. The proposed $140 million Bakken Marketlink pipeline would meet with the Keystone XL in eastern Montana.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TransCanada says oil producers in North Dakota and Montana have turned to trains while the Keystone XL has been debated. The company says the domestic oil shippers still have contracts and are committed to moving their product by pipeline.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The proposed Keystone XL cleared a big hurdle last week when the State Department raised no major environmental objections to its construction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal transportation officials say investigators found crude oil being transported from North Dakota’s Bakken region was misclassified in 11 out of 18 truck shipments tested. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said yesterday it proposed fining three companies involved in the shipments a total of $93,000. The trucks were taking oil to be loaded into rail tank cars. Oil shipments from the region have soared in recent years.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota nurse and farmer has launched a campaign to oust the state’s agriculture commissioner. Warwick resident Judy Estenson on Tuesday announced she is seeking the GOP nomination for the job. Estenson tells the Bismarck Tribune she’s grown weary of a government that seems to have unreasonably expanded its “regulatory authority.”
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

In sports…<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Four Division One colleges in North and South Dakota are holding signing day parties for football and other sports. Only one is charging for the event.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Such are the benefits of the three-time Football Championship Subdivision winners North Dakota State Bison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Athletes around the country will be signing NCAA letters of intent Wednesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor says the $25 fee essentially covers the cost of the party. He says it’s another way for the school to market its athletic program.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Top U.S. security officials are telling President Barack Obama that all appropriate steps are being taken to keep Americans safe at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The White House says Obama directed his team to work closely with Russia and others to make the Sochi Games safe. Some lawmakers have raised concerns about safety at the Olympics and cooperation with Russia, although FBI Director James Comey (KOH’-mee) told a Senate panel last month U.S. cooperation with the Russian Security Service has improved.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) – A poll commissioned by The Associated Press and GfK shows that Americans certainly have interest in the upcoming Olympics with older people expressing more interest.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – A U.N. human rights committee issued a scathing critique today of the Vatican’s conduct during the priest sex abuse scandal. It says policies facilitated the rape and molestation of tens of thousands of children by priests over decades. Among the committee’s nonbinding recommendations is that the Vatican should open its files on the pedophiles and those who concealed their crimes.
