CALENDAR Reach us online Sports Department Business Briefs Obituaries Calendar items General news Letters to the Editor JOHN HAGEMAN Forum News Service A dispute between the state of North Dakota and the con- tractor that led the recent ex- pansion of the Heritage Center went to trial Monday. The case stems from a March 2016 lawsuit brought by Com- stock Construction, which ar- gued the State Historical So- ciety breached its contract by improperly withholding pay- ment. The firm also pointed to inadequate plans to support limestone panels, which it said caused damages and delays. The Wahpeton-based claims total more than $2 mil- lion. has been harmed by the state and its said Aaron Dean, attorney.

Comstock was the gen- eral contractor for the Her- itage $51.7 million, expan- sion, which first opened to the public in 2014. The project roughly doubled the size of the original museum. The State Historical So- ciety has alleged Comstock breached its contract by not installing limestone panels according to specifications, removing its superintendent without the consent and not completing the project on time. It filed a counterclaim seeking at least $50,000. The proceedings began Monday morning with jury se- lection at the Burleigh County Courthouse in downtown Bis- marck and ended with Com- stock project manager Jason Flack on the stand.

He and Michael Comstock, an owner of the firm, declined to com- ment outside the courtroom. Meanwhile, State Historical Society Director Claudia Berg and Facility Management Di- rector John Boyle were in the audience Monday. Berg and Peter Zuger, the attorney rep- resenting the state in the case, said they comment during the trial. The trial could stretch until the middle of next week, ac- cording to court records. Heritage Center dispute goes to trial Charges possible in hit-and-run The driver who reportedly hit a young girl crossing to a bus stop Friday has been identified.

Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena said the man is 37- year old Jesse Engesser, of Bismarck. No charges have yet been filed but a report has been sent to the Bismarck city attorney for review, according to Buschena. The 11-year-old girl was crossing to the school bus at the bus stop at 7:30 a.m. Friday near Jericho Road and Jordan Street when a vehicle struck her right abdomen with its pas- senger side mirror and ran over both her feet.

She was taken to a hospital. The driver, identified later that day as Engesser, reportedly exited the vehicle, yelled at the girl then drove away. She told police the bus was stopped with its stop sign ex- tended and lights flashing at the time she was struck. Engesser has a criminal re- cord, including sexual assault, DUI and theft charges since last year. Meds reported stolen from shelter A former resident of Ruth Meiers Hospitality emergency shelter has reported his prescription med- ications were stolen.
