Burgum takes office as the once red-hot state economy is slumping along with oil and crop prices.

The Minot Planning Commission has voted to recommend the City Council grant Trinity Health’s request to rezone about 44 acres from agricultural use to commercial.
The $275 million project calls for a connected six-story hospital and clinic building, as well as a spacious three-story facility for behavioral health services. Plans call for 208 beds throughout the center, including 157 nursing beds and a 20-bed intensive care unit.

The project is expected to be completed in 2019.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — The illegal introduction of northern pike to Kettle Lake has threatened trout and perch populations that have driven anglers to use the lake north of Williston.
The Williston Herald reports the state Game and Fish Department is determining how the lake should be managed going forward.
Treatment to eradicate northern pike, a voracious predator, is costly and time consuming, especially if people continue to illegally stock the waters. Those who are caught doing so face a $350 fine and a misdemeanor charge.
North Dakota fisheries biologist Aaron Slominski says the department won’t treat the lake with rotenone, a natural chemical found in plants that keeps the fish’s gills from taking in oxygen, until spring 2017.
Slominski recently held a public meeting to gather angler input, but lack of attendance left the department unsure of how to proceed.

NASCAR…
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Joey Logano raced his way into NASCAR’s championship finale with a victory Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway. Defending series champion Kyle Busch finished second to earn the other transfer spot into the final four.
The race went to overtime and dramatically changed in the final laps. Matt Kenseth was headed to victory until a caution set up the first overtime attempt. Kenseth then made contact with Alex Bowman that caused Kenseth to wreck and ended his title hopes.
The second overtime pitted Logano against Busch for the victory, but the drivers began the day tied in the standings and any 1-2 finish between them would get both into the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Keven Harvick needed to win Sunday and was the favorite because he’s an eight-time Phoenix winner. He finished fourth and was eliminated.
