She said she supports the work with Rapid City youth and tried to find a way for them to burn sage. She said no other busi- nesses are allowed to burn candles or incense, but she came to a verbal agreement with Bringswhite before I Am Legacy opened in April that said he could burn sage in the back of the room with the door open and a fan blowing. burn sage was some- thing we were trying to compromise with them, because we know such an important part of their culture, and we want to embrace Brockhouse said. Bringswhite said he al- ways left the rear door open, but the wind must blow the smoke and scent inside.

He said mall secu- rity has told him about 30 times that mall-goers had health concerns, but no one directly impacted has ever approached him. Bringswhite questioned if mall patrons and man- agement also have a prob- lem with the strong smell outside businesses that sell candles or perfume. Brockhouse said she has received a few complaints about strong odors but peo- ple never said they caused headaches or other medical issues. I Am Legacy would be welcome to burn its sage outside the closed rear door, Brockhouse said. Contact arielle Zionts at arielle.zionts@ rapidcityjournal.com.

Court documents unsealed in the disappearance of an American Indian woman whose body was found in a submerged truck in a North Dakota lake show she was strapped into the passenger side with a seat belt around her waist. Thirty-two-year-old Olivia Lone Bear was re- ported missing to the Three Affiliated Tribes Police De- partment on Oct.

27, 2017. Her body was found July 31, 2018 in the pickup truck pulled from Lake Saka- kawea on the Fort Berthold Reservation. An autopsy was conducted in August 2018, and the cause of death was ruled undetermined. No obvious injuries to her body were found. Three search warrants were unsealed Wednesday after federal officials trav- eled to New Town, North Dakota, to update Lone family members on the death investigation.

One witness says Lone Bear texted her that night saying she had been at a bonfire and was going or four-wheeling. Minneapolis FBI Spe- cial Agent in Charge Jill Sanborn says Lone family and her community want to know what hap- pened to her, and so does the FBI.

More recently, west- ern glacier stoneflies were found in streams in Wy- Grand Teton Na- tional Park and the Absaro- ka-Beartooth Wilderness in Montana and Wyoming.

They are mostly found in steep, remote areas that are hard to reach and away from backcountry trails. Melting glaciers, higher water temperatures and changes in the volume of snowmelt and runoff are harming the habitat they need to survive, federal wildlife officials said. Most glaciers and snowfields in the main location, Gla- cier National Park, are pre- dicted to disappear by 2030. The new threatened spe- cies classification, which takes effect 30 days from Wednesday, will make fed- eral funding available for conservation efforts meant to aid the recovery and restore their habitat. 2 insect species classified as threatened as glaciers melt JOE GIERSCH, U.S.
