\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williams County Emergency Services says floodwaters from the spring melt have made a segment of County 6 inaccessible to any through traffic, including emergency responders.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BNSF Railway closed the railroad crossing at 105th Avenue NW and 68th Street NW for repairs at noon Friday.<\/p>\n

OAKES, N.D. (AP) – An Oakes man was treated at a hospital and released after a motorist crashed his pickup truck into the man’s house.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Highway Patrol says the truck went through the dining room, living room and bathroom before coming to rest in a bedroom about mid-day Sunday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say 28-year-old Nick Podoll was injured when he was struck by debris. His wife and 2-year-old daughter were not hurt.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The patrol identified the driver of the pickup as 38-year-old Dale Smith Jr. He was taken to a hospital to be treated for unspecified injuries and arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Smith did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment Monday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An autopsy has confirmed that a homeless man found dead outside a Fargo business in January died of hypothermia.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The \u00a0low temperature on the day Randy Lafontaine was found was 2 degrees. The 48-year-old man’s body was found under a truck near a building on 1st Avenue South.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say the man was a frequent resident of the Gladys Ray Shelter.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities had said previously that there was no evidence of a crime and they suspected exposure to cold might have been a factor, but they kept the death under investigation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – A proposed wind farm south of Hebron in southwestern North Dakota has cleared a hurdle.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 Morton County and Stark County commissions have approved special use permits for Sunflower Wind Project LLC. The project still needs a county building permit and the approval of the state Public Service Commission.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Morton County planner Daniel Nairn says up to 55 wind turbines will be placed in Morton County and 25 in Stark County. The project will generate 110 megawatts of power for Infinity Wind Power of Santa Barbara, Calif., which will sell the power to Bismarck-based Basin Electric Power Cooperative.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Project manager Casey Willis says Infinity Wind Power hopes to start building early next year and have the wind farm operating in late 2015.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials are slated to launch a campaign aimed at filling the scores of unfilled jobs in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley and the North Dakota Economic Development Foundation are slated to unveil the plan Monday at the state Capitol in Bismarck.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say there are about 25,000 more jobs than takers in North Dakota at present. And they say that number is projected to increase threefold in the next few years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the campaign will focus on promoting North Dakota as “a great place to live, work and raise a family.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Farmers’ compliance with state and federal pesticide laws and regulations is at a record level in North Dakota for a second straight year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says 84 percent of inspections last year found full compliance. The rate the year before was 81 percent. Before that, the record was 80 percent in 2008.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Goehring says his department’s outreach and compliance assistance program is a big reason.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The findings are included in an annual report the state submits to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s congressional delegation says North Dakota is getting about $13 million for affordable housing projects on American Indian land in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will go to tribal housing authorities in Fort Berthold, Spirit Lake and Trenton.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of the money is going to the Trenton Indian Housing Authority, which is getting $7.2 million from the Indian Housing Block Grant program.<\/p>\n

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – City commissioners in Williston are considering imposing a 1 percent dining and lodging tax to fund downtown parking improvements and other upgrades, possibly even paving the way for a convention center.<\/p>\n

The the state Tax Department estimates a 1 percent tax on restaurant meals, alcohol drinks and hotel rooms could generate $1.2 million per year.<\/p>\n

The City Commission earlier this month approved a 126-page plan to guide development downtown. It identifies about 43,000 square feet of ground-level space that’s available for new retail businesses, to go with about 14,500 square feet under development. It also cites challenges to development, such as potential problems with traffic and parking.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Followers of the men’s basketball team at North Dakota State say a viewing party for bracket selections in the NCAA tournament was more about respect than revelry. The Bison received the highest seed for a Summit League team since 1997 when they were tabbed as the Number 12 team in the West Region and tapped to play 5th ranked Oklahoma in the first game Thursday in Spokane, Washington. It’s what the players and fans gathered around the video board Sunday at the Bison Sports Arena expected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State head basketball coach Saul Phillips and his two predecessors with the Bison are bringing teams to this year’s NCAA Division I tournament.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not only that, they’re all in the same regional.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nebraska’s Tim Miles and Creighton’s Greg McDermott both had stints with NDSU before moving on to other programs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McDermott led the Bison in the 2000-01 season before taking a job at Northern Iowa. Miles coached NDSU from 2001 to 2007 before joining Colorado State.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NDSU, Nebraska and Creighton are in the West Regional. NDSU plays Oklahoma, Nebraska faces Baylor, and Creighton takes on Louisiana-Lafayette in the opening round.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Phillips joked that if he and Miles get a chance to play each other, they will be the first coaches to appear at an NCAA press conference together.<\/p>\n
