Good morning, Minot.

The conflicts between Israel and Iran have put the energy industry on high alert, and Justin Kringstad of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority said the state is an oil price taker that must accept global market prices—North Dakota crude oil now hovers around $61 per barrel.

Team Minot leaders and community members met at a Military Affairs Committee luncheon on June 5 at Minot Air Force Base—hosted by MACEDC and the base—to receive mission updates and recognize local support.

The event helped strengthen ties between civic leaders and military personnel as they exchanged ideas on ongoing initiatives.

Minot City Council will consider hiring Michael Frye as police chief tonight based on a memo from City Manager Harold Stewart, who also recommended promoting acting police chief Dale Plessas to deputy chief — a plan that draws on equal backing from officers and the public.

Three candidates were interviewed and met with community members to gather support for both men.

The former Secretary of State's granddaughter visited North Dakota to see the original state constitution her grandfather rescued from a Capitol fire — she expressed pride in his actions and highlighted the document's historical importance.
