BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — Here are the top stories that dominated the news during the past week, curated by the KX News digital staff:

1. House advances bill to protect mobile home tenants. Senate Bill 2385 came about after people made complaints in Bismarck and Minot, saying that out-of-state companies have bought up their parks and then charged them higher fees for rent, water, and late fees.

2. Cleanup progressing at Keystone pipeline ND spill. The pipeline ruptured Tuesday morning in southeastern North Dakota and was shut down within two minutes by an employee who heard a mechanical bang. An aerial photo released Wednesday shows a black, pondlike pool of oil suspended in a partially snowy field that’s traversed by tire tracks.

3. Shifting winds affecting work on Cedar River wildfire. Close to 9,000 acres of land have burned in the Cedar River wildfire in south central North Dakota and part of South Dakota. Fire officials say a key concern now is shifting winds, which are affecting how crews work to keep the fire under control and eventually extinguish it. On Friday morning, fire officials indicated 8,960 acres have burned and that 80 percent of the fire is contained.

4. 76-year-old Grand Forks woman facing DUI charges in two-vehicle crash. A 76-year-old Grand Forks woman was arrested on DUI charges following a two-vehicle crash near Gardner Saturday. According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, around 5:10 p.m., April 5, a car driven by the Grand Forks woman rear-ended another car driven by a 33-year-old Hillsboro woman near Gardner.

5. Time bill ticks no more in ND Legislature. A proposal to put North Dakota on permanent Daylight Saving Time has failed in the North Dakota Senate. House Bill 1259, revised by the sponsors and amended in the Senate, failed to pass April 7 on a vote of 15 to 32. Opposition to the bill was strong among border communities like Grand Forks, Fargo and cities along the western border. Those who testified said the hour difference between North Dakota and border states that would be created by the bill would result in unwieldy scheduling issues for businesses, families and anyone whose lives involved cross-border activity.
