Bob is one of the largest and most complete triceratops found to date, and his 65-million-year-old bones have been on display at the Barnes County Historical Society since June of 2014.<\/p>\n

The dinosaur was found in the far southwestern part of the state in Bowman County on the Craig and Bobbi Egeland ranch, near the South Dakota border. Fossils in that area are 65 million to 70 million years old, in the Late Cretaceous period.<\/p>\n

Curator, Wes Anderson says unless the museum can raise $1.4 million to buy Bob from the people who excavated and preserved him, Bob will be leaving the museum. He points out that most dinosaur skeletons in museums are replica castings or assemblages of fossils from several animals.<\/p>\n

Hell Creek Relics, is operated by Alan Komrosky of Valley City.<\/p>\n

He says, it took 11 years and 21,000 man-hours of painstaking work to free Bob from the rock where his bones were found in 2003, plus a steel frame had to be built to mount the skeleton.<\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s price tag is $1.4 million.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Legislature has passed a bill to exempt pork and dairy operations from the state’s eight-decades-old anti-corporate farming law.<\/p>\n

North Dakota’s House approved the measure 56-37 on Monday. The measure was already approved by the Senate.<\/p>\n

The so-called “ham-and-cheese” bill is one of the most contentious non-oil related bills considered by lawmakers this session.<\/p>\n

Supporters say it’s intended to revitalize dairy and swine farms after years of decline. Opponents believe the anti-corporate farming law blocks unfair competition from big, out-of-state corporations.<\/p>\n

Federal agriculture data show the number of dairy farms in North Dakota has decreased from about 350 in 2002 to 91.<\/p>\n

Data show swine numbers have also declined from about 280,000 in 1995 to about 139,000 in 2014.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House has killed a resolution that would have allowed voters to decide if a panel is needed to investigate alleged acts of wrongdoing by politicians.<\/p>\n

The Republican-led House voted 68-25 against the resolution on Monday.<\/p>\n

House assistant Democratic leader Corey Mock of Grand Forks has been pushing since 2011 to establish an ethics commission. But legislation to create such commissions was soundly defeated by the Legislature in the past two sessions.<\/p>\n

Mock’s resolution that was killed Monday would have let voters decide whether the state Constitution should be changed to form an ethics panel.<\/p>\n

Opponents have argued that an ethics commission isn’t required because the Legislature already follows high standards of conduct.<\/p>\n

Update…<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A United Airlines jet flying from Anchorage, Alaska, to Chicago made an unscheduled landing at Fargo’s Hector International Airport early Monday after a passenger suffered a medical emergency.<\/p>\n

Paramedics met the plane when it landed about 3:30 a.m. and took a woman from the plane to a hospital. Information on the nature of her medical emergency was not immediately available.<\/p>\n

Airport Manager Shawn Dobberstein says the plane was unable to continue to Chicago because all of its onboard medical oxygen had been used to treat the woman. More than 150 passengers were stranded for hours while they waited for another United plane sent to pick them up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A company that for years has been planning a wind turbine farm in southeastern North Dakota is now proposing significant changes.<\/p>\n

The Merricourt Wind Power Project in McIntosh and Dickey counties was to have up to 100 1.5 megawatt turbines. EDF Renewable Energy is now proposing 75 2-megawatt turbines. It would reduce the project area by half.<\/p>\n

The state Public Service Commission needs to approve the change. The PSC is holding a Thursday hearing in Ashley.<\/p>\n

EDF Renewable Energy says the newer, larger turbines are better technology. But officials also hope the move would help reduce the potential impact on two endangered species of birds.<\/p>\n

The proposed wind farm area is on the edge of the whooping crane migration corridor, and habitat in the area is suited to piping plovers.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Board of Higher Education wants discussions on the hiring and firing of a university system chancellor to be held in secret.<\/p>\n

The board is pushing the measure that would hold such discussions in executive session unless the chancellor or candidate being considered asks for the discussion to be public.<\/p>\n

The Senate already has approved the bill.<\/p>\n

Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen told the House Education Committee on Monday that holding a secret meeting allows board members to be more candid in discussing evaluations of the chancellor.<\/p>\n

North Dakota Newspaper Association attorney Jack McDonald says the public should not be left out of the process.<\/p>\n

The committee took no immediate action on the bill. The full House will consider it later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – A Watford City woman is coordinating an online project to tell a different story about the North Dakota oil boomtown.<\/p>\n

The project is funded by the city and McKenzie County, and put together by Veeder Scofield in her role as special projects coordinator for McKenzie County Development.<\/p>\n

Mayor Brent Sanford\u00a0says \u00a0he welcomes the opportunity for the community to speak for itself. He says many residents feel stories told in the national media aren’t accurate or complete.<\/p>\n

Watford City’s population has gone from about 1,400 people to an estimated 15,000 in just a few years.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Fewer than two-thirds of hunters bagged a deer during last year’s gun season in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

The state Game and Fish Department says 43,500 hunters killed about 26,300 deer, for a success rate of only about 60 percent. That was up from 55 percent the previous year, however.<\/p>\n

The 48,000 deer gun licenses made available by the state Game and Fish Department last year was the lowest since 1980, due to declining habitat and several tough winters that had taken a toll on deer.<\/p>\n

Game and Fish is in the process of determining recommendations for licenses in the 2015 deer proclamation. The proclamation will be sent to the governor’s office for approval in late April.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A cisco that Fargo angler Jack Fletcher caught late last month is a state record.<\/p>\n

The record had been held since 2000 by two family members from Pick City, Tylor Borup and Scott Borup Jr., who each reeled in a 2-pound, 8-ounce cisco from the Garrison Dam Tailrace on the same day.<\/p>\n

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – The United Nations says 24 people are confirmed dead and 3,300 have been displaced by Cyclone Pam in the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu (vah-noo-AH’-too or van-WAH’-too). UN relief officials say radio and telephone communications with outer islands have not yet been established. The president of Vanuatu says it appears that all of the development that’s been taking place in his country has now been “wiped out.”<\/p>\n

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A police report says wealthy eccentric Robert Durst was in possession of a revolver when he was arrested at a New Orleans hotel on a murder charge in the death of his friend in Los Angeles. Durst waived extradition Monday and is expected to be taken to Los Angeles to face the murder charge. His attorney says the extradition is being delayed because prosecutors in New Orleans are considering charges. Durst is accused of killing his friend Susan Berman in 2000 and has been suspected in the disappearance of his first wife. He was acquitted in the killing of his neighbor.<\/p>\n

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) – The man accused of shooting two police officers during a demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri, last week has made a brief court appearance Monday — only long enough for the case to be scheduled for a later date. Court officials said Jeffrey Williams did not yet have an attorney. He’s charged with two counts of first-degree assault and other charges. The two officers were shot early Thursday as a late-night demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department began to break up. The officers were released from the hospital later that day.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Pointing to higher graduation rates as a sign that his policies are working, President Barack Obama says he’s ready to fight with Republicans for school funding and for his education priorities. At a White House meeting with urban school leaders, Obama said he hopes lawmakers focus on educating every child, and not shifting money away from needy districts.<\/p>\n

BOSTON (AP) – Forecasters say Boston could get even more snow later in the week.
