The plan calls for burying a pipe along three quarters of a mile with a half-a-mile of channel improvements to drain Hobart Lake water into the Sheyenne River.<\/p>\n
The Barnes County Commission approved a letter of support for the $800,000 project that will use federal dollars through FEMA to drain Hobart Lake water into the river.<\/p>\n
Commissioner John Froehlich says the estimated cost of the proposed Hobart Lake outlet to Barnes County is $130,000 to $150,000.<\/p>\n
Paul Stenshoel believes a study should be done before the moving forward to drain Hobart Lake. He told the Barnes County Commission there are landowners prepared to file legal action if the Barnes County Water Resource District moves forward to build this outlet.<\/p>\n
Some landowners are expressing concerns that they have to pay taxes on farmland under water.<\/p>\n
Retired Wildlife Research Biologist Gary Krapu believes western grebe nesting sites would be negatively affected for every foot of water removed from the Lake, saying bird watchers from other states help the local economy, a claim questioned by others.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Authorities in North Dakota’s largest city are warning of a credit card skimming operation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo police say the case may go back to January 2016 and it likely involves multiple suspects. Citizens are being encouraged to monitor their credit or debit card activity for any authorized charges.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police in November said that suspect who obtained information from a similar operation in the Aberdeen, South Dakota, area was using the information to make various purchases in Fargo.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That case involved a concealed skimming device found inside a gas pump at an Aberdeen convenience store.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Another of the suspects in a fatal beating outside of a Fargo bar last May has pleaded guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0Jessy Olson pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of being an accomplice to murder and two counts of aggravated assault. A sentencing date was not immediately set.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Olson is one of four people charged in the death of 35-year-old Joey Gaarsland. Two of the other suspects also have pleaded guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jason Oien is to go on trial on a murder charge later this month.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A Minot woman accused of leaving her two preschoolers in a car outside a bar for about an hour while she and her boyfriend drank and gambled inside will spend eight more days in jail.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-two-year-old Chelsea Erie pleaded guilty Thursday to felony child neglect in a deal with prosecutors. She was ordered to spend 10 days in jail with credit for two days already served.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If Erie successfully completes two years of probation and other terms of her sentence, the charge will be wiped from her record.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say Erie’s 3- and 5-year-old children weren’t harmed in the Dec. 28 incident, when the temperature was about 7 degrees. Erie earlier called the case a “hysterical overreaction.”

\u00a0OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A survey of rural bankers in the Dakotas and eight other Plains states suggests a slightly brighter economic picture that remains shadowed by lower agriculture and energy commodity prices.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger (RAW’-shuhn-bur-gur) says his department is taking more time to analyze and process income tax returns to guard against fraud.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rauschenberger says the amount of time to process an average tax return is about eight days, or double the time it took just a couple of years ago. He says the extra time is used to verify wage documents.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rauschenberger says the agency caught 915 returns claiming $1.3 million in fraudulent refunds last year. He says the tax department has stopped 82 returns claiming about $183,000 in bogus refunds so far this year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rauschenberger says taxpayers can help combat fraud by filing their returns as quickly as possible, and before identity thieves can file a phony return.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Mercer County Commission has voted to close a road that has been the focus of a dispute between ranchers and the owners of Coyote Creek Mine.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Commissioners voted 3-2 Wednesday to shut down the road, but only on completion of a signed agreement giving access for certain landowners.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North American Coal Corp., owner of the Coyote Creek Mine, proposed a $110,000, five-stage approach to give affected landowners passage through the mine site to their pastureland. Landowners were unhappy with some of the requirements to keep that access.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The access plan would redirect the road through less active areas. The designated landowners would be able to travel through padlocked gates onto mine land.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Jessica Buck and Brequan Tucker from the University of Jamestown basketball teams have earned All-American honors for the second straight year.<\/p>\n
Buck was named to the first team for the second consecutive season, while Tucker earned his second straight third-team designation.<\/p>\n
Buck was one of 10 first-team selections.<\/p>\n
Tucker became the career scoring leader in just three seasons for the Jimmies.<\/p>\n
The senior from Joliet, Ill., amassed 1,776 points and also holds the career scoring average record at 20.4 points per game.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot guard led the Jimmies in scoring (21.9), rebounding (6.5) and assists (3.5) this season. For his career he had 444 rebounds, 265 assists and 122 steals.<\/p>\n
The Jimmies finished the season with a record of 17-12.<\/p>\n
Other NSAA players chosen were junior Megan Klein (honorable mention) of Dickinson State, junior Kyle Kilgore (second team) of Dakota State and Valley City State sophomore Jayden Ferguson (honorable mention).<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 University of Jamestown head golf coach\u3000Dean Kraft\u3000announces the signing of Michael and Allan Pruss of Red Deer, Alberta, who will join the Jimmies in the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n
Michael and Allan, who will graduate from Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School this spring, will also compete for the Jimmie hockey team, which begins play in the fall.<\/p>\n
Kraft says, “I can\u00b9t take a whole lot of credit for the signings. They\u3000were both coming for hockey and called me with a strong interest in playing college golf.\u3000 It\u3000didn\u00b9t take me long to recognize their ability (in both sports), their academic strengths, and their maturity to realize they are a perfect fit for the Jimmie golf program.\u3000 The boys have the ability to go low, something that has become a recruiting priority now that we are part of such a competitive conference.\u3000 The boys bring that potential with them and we feel very fortunate that they decided to become Jimmies.”<\/p>\n
Allan was a member of the third-place team at the Alberta High School Provinicials tournament. He won twice on the McLennan Ross\/Sun Junior Golf Tour and took third at the Riverbend Mens Club Championship.<\/p>\n
Michael was awarded Team Provincial Bronze for golf and Team Gold Medal for the Zone Championship. On the ice, he was twice named Most Dedicated Hockey Player for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and was a two-time All-Star in the SCAHL Hockey League.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL’s powerful competition committee is recommending making permanent extra-point kick snaps from the 15-yard line, eliminating all chop blocks and ejecting a player for twice receiving certain unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a game.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When NFL owners meet next week in Florida, they also will consider such proposals as moving the line of scrimmage up 5 yards to the 25 on kickoff touchbacks, allowing coaches and players to use video rather than just photos on sideline tablets, and giving coaches three challenges per game instead of two.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is still beatable for the Democratic presidential nomination. He’s predicting the upcoming calendar of races in several Western states, including Arizona and Washington, and April contests in Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania offer him the chance to catch up. Clinton holds a lead of more than 300 committed delegates but Sanders rejects the notion she’s got it all but sewn up.

The Homeland Security Department has formally begun sharing details of new digital threats with private business and other government agencies. The program is voluntary, and the number of companies that will participate or how effective the program will be remains unclear.

Police spokesman John Cannon says “Officers discharged their weapons either because the suspects pointed weapons at them or they were fearful suspects were running toward other businesses, which had citizens in them.” Guns belonging to the suspects were recovered but it’s not clear if they were fired.

The Swedish Environment Ministry says that more than 30 American lobsters, also known as Maine lobsters, have been found along Sweden’s west coast in recent years. Sweden says the invaders could carry diseases and parasites that could kill large numbers of their European cousins. It also says interbreeding could threaten the survival of the European species.
