BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal appeals court has opened the door for construction to resume on a small stretch of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline while it considers an appeal by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

The court earlier ordered work to stop while it decided the motion.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has highlighted extra benefits under Iowa’s new Medicaid program to show the privatized system functions better than the former state-run setup, but the agency overseeing Medicaid acknowledges it does little tracking of the benefits. Known as value-added services, they range from waived gym membership fees to free cellphones. The Iowa Department of Human Services says it’s not required to track the services.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — The remains of a Navy chaplain have been buried in his home state of Iowa nearly 75 years after he died during the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. A funeral was held for Chaplain Aloysius Schmitt on Saturday. He was aboard the battleship USS Oklahoma when the Dec. 7, 1941, attack happened. The Telegraph Herald reports Schmitt helped other sailors escape the sinking ship before he died. The Navy announced in September that Schmitt’s remains had been identified.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Mason City police say bicycle thefts are on the rise this year as more thieves seek cash for drugs.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Mason City police say bicycle thefts are on the rise this year as more thieves seek cash for drugs. The Globe Gazette reports there have already been 175 bikes reported stolen this year. In all of 2015, only 132 bikes were stolen. Mason City Police Lt. Rich Jensen says stolen bikes are often found in pieces in “little clandestine bicycle chop shops.” Jensen says the thefts are often linked to people seeking money for drugs.

When police searched an apartment last month, they found drug paraphernalia, two complete bikes, a pile of bicycle frames and dozens of bike parts. Adam Ochoa says he couldn’t believe it when his bike was recently stolen for the second time in five years.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has highlighted extra benefits under Iowa’s new Medicaid program to show the privatized system functions better than the former state-run setup, but the agency overseeing Medicaid acknowledges it knows little about how the so-called value-added services are working for patients. The services range from waived gym membership fees to free cellphones.

After more than six months of the privately run system, there is limited data about how many people have used the value-added services and no information about whether the services are effective. The Department of Human Services says it’s not required to closely track them.

The setup highlights limitations in what the state must share about Iowa’s new Medicaid system. It also adds a layer of work for the public to access information about the services.

A traffic stop early this (Sunday) morning near the Stringtown Cemetery in rural Adams County, resulted in the arrest of a Lenox man on an OWI charge. Adams County Sheriff’s officials say 27-year old Christopher David Mackey, of Lenox, was pulled over at around 1:40-a.m. near the intersection of Highway 34 and Sycamore Avenue, and subsequently placed under arrest for OWI/1st offense after failing Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Mackey was being held in the Adams County Jail on $1,000 bond.

A traffic stop Saturday night in Red Oak resulted in men from Cass and Montgomery Counties being issued citations for Possession of Alcohol under the legal age. Red Oak Police say officers conducted a traffic stop for an equipment violation at around 11:30-p.m. at the Cubby’s parking lot. Officers discovered alcohol inside the vehicle.

As a result, 18-year old Jerry Carr, of Anita, and 19-year old Elias Guerra, of Red Oak, were cited for Possession of Alcohol under the age of 21. Both men were released with their citations.
