On New Year’s eve, white- out conditions resulted in a 100-car pile-up east of Mapleton on Interstate 94. It took most of the day for authori- ties to assist with the accident. One man, Lowell Balk, a 50-year-old truck driver from Walcott was killed when he was hit after he got out of his vehicle to help other motorists. In Mapleton, residents stepped up Due to the New Year’s blizzard cars were buried in snow drifts on the to help those who opted to get off of the streets, in driveways and parking lots throughout the area.

The city has allotted $15,000 in the 2011 budget for the proposed project. The low cost is partially due to a grant that will likely come through from the North Dakota Department of Transportation. The grant allows funding for up to $75,000 per crossing and $225,000 per city quiet zone. Of the total grant fund, cities must pay 10 percent per crossing. The city expense is also relatively low because of the safety measures chosen.

  • An Examination of Ideology and Subject Formation Among Elite And
    AN EXAMINATION OF IDEOLOGY AND SUBJECT FORMATION AMONG ELITE AND ORDINARY RESIDENTS IN THE BAKKEN SHALE, NORTH DAKOTA, 2015-2016 A Dissertation by THOMAS ANDREW LODER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Christian Brannstrom Committee Members, Forrest Fleischman Wendy Jepson Kathleen O’Reilly Head of Department, David Cairns August 2018 Major Subject: Geography Copyright 2018 Thomas Andrew Loder ABSTRACT The US shale energy boom of the late 2000s and 2010s has brought both economic growth and negative externalities to communities undergoing extraction. Building on previous research on fracking landscapes – as well as geographies of energy and natural resources and case studies of environmental subjectivity in extractive zones – this dissertation employed a suite of qualitative methods to examine the discourses and ideology used to support and oppose fracking-led development in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale. The dissertation consists of three substantive chapters. The first employs key actor interviews and participant observation to examine how pro-oil ideology is advanced by economic and political elites in North Dakota. This chapter concludes that elites frame support for oil as an extension of existing conservative ideologies prevalent in the state. The second substantive chapter consists of content analysis of coverage of oil- related events in state-level newspapers, specifically concentrating on a 2014 conservation ballot measure and the Keystone XL pipeline. This chapter concludes that pro-oil writers are more effective in their messaging due to focusing on economic and emotional appeals.
