BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The hundreds of arrests during the months of protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota have created an unprecedented burden for the state’s court system.

Police have made nearly 575 arrests since August. State Court Administrator Sally Holewa (hoh-LEHV’-uh) says there aren’t enough judges, lawyers and clerks to handle the workload.

The state judicial system will ask the Legislature next year for an additional $1.5 million to cover protest-related costs. The organization that provides public defenders in North Dakota might seek an additional $670,000 from the Legislature.

Leaders of both organizations say such requests are highly unusual.

Holewa says the sheer volume of cases also raises concerns about the defendants’ right to a speedy trial and due process.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A spokesman for North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple says the governor has no intention of blocking food and supplies from coming into a camp where people have gathered to protest the Dakota Access pipeline.

Dalrymple on Monday issued a “mandatory evacuation” for the camp “to safeguard against harsh winter conditions.”

Dalrymple spokesman Jeff Zent says the evacuation order has been “misconstrued” by some as giving authorities the ability to block food and supplies from coming in or out of the encampment. Zent says that is “not the governor’s intent.”

The 1,172-mile pipeline is nearly complete except for a small section beneath a Missouri River reservoir near the encampment, which is about 50 miles south of Bismarck.

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE…

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Sven Baertschi scored his second of the night with 2:35 left in regulation Tuesday as the Vancouver Canucks beat the Minnesota Wild 5-4.

Brandon Sutter and Ben Hutton each had a goal and an assist, and Loui Eriksson also scored for Vancouver. Henrik Sedin and Troy Stecher had two assists each and Ryan Miller stopped 38 shots.

Ryan Suter scored the tying goal late in the third for Minnesota. Jason Pominville had two goals, Jason Zucker added a goal and an assist, and Nino Niederreiter had two assists. Darcy Kuemper got the start with Devan Dubnyk given the night off and finished with 30 saves.

Baertschi, who has struggled to rediscover his scoring touch that emerged toward the end of last season, tipped Stecher’s point shot to cap a crazy third period that saw the teams combine for five goals.

MLS-MINNESOTA UNITED-COACH…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota United has hired Adrian Heath as the coach to usher the franchise into Major League Soccer next season.

United made the announcement on Tuesday. Heath coached Orlando City during its inaugural MLS season in 2015 and United sporting director Manny Lagos says that experience played a role in his hiring in Minnesota.

Heath went 16-18-1 in one and a half seasons leading Orlando City, but was fired in July.

Heath guided Orlando City from the USL to the MLS, and now will be tasked with taking Minnesota United from the North American Soccer League to MLS.

United is building a new stadium in St. Paul and will play its inaugural season at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus.

 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-OREGON…

UNDATED (AP)— Oregon has fired coach Mark Helfrich after a disappointing 4-8 season.

Helfrich was head coach of the Ducks for four seasons, leading the team to the first College Football Playoff championship game two years ago. But this season the Ducks faltered with a five-game losing streak and the team finished at the bottom of the Pac-12 North with just two conference wins.

Helfrich had a 37-16 record after taking over from Chip Kelly in 20

 

MLB-HOT STOVE…

UNDATED (AP) — The Chicago Cubs and outfielder Jon Jay have agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract, likely signaling the end of free agent Dexter Fowler’s time with the World Series champions. Jay batted .291 with two homers and 26 RBIs in 90 games with San Diego last season.

The Cubs have an opening in center after Fowler turned down a $17.2 million qualifying offer two weeks ago. Fowler also rejected a qualifying offer from Chicago last November and then returned to the Cubs during spring training. But that same scenario seems even less likely this time around.

Jay could platoon in center with righty-hitting Albert Almora Jr. Or Cubs manager Joe Maddon could move Jason Heyward over from right for Chicago’s first title defense since it won it all in 1908.

 

In other baseball:

— The New York Mets are reportedly going to retain the services of Yoenis Cespedes (yoh-EHN’-ehs SEHS’-peh-dehs). The outfielder has agreed to a $110 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. Cespedes settled on the Mets after testing the free agent market for the second straight year.

The two-time All-Star gets $22.5 million in 2017, $29 million in each of the following two seasons and $29.5 million in 2020.

He had 31 homers and 86 RBIs in 132 games this year but was slowed after injuring his right quadriceps on July 8. He hit one home run after Sept. 11.

 

MLB-COMEBACK PLAYERS…

NEW YORK (AP) — Boston Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello has won the AL Comeback Player of the Year award, while Washington third baseman Anthony Rendon (rehn-DOHN’) has received the NL honor.

Porcello posted a major league best 22 wins this season, after going 9-15 in 2015. He finished with a 22-4 record and a 3.15 ERA over 33 starts to help the Red Sox capture the American League East title

Rendon hit .270 with 20 home runs and 85 RBIs in 156 games. He had a .348 on-base percentage and a .450 slugging percentage to help the Nationals win the NL East for the second time in three seasons. Rendon was limited to 80 games in 2015 because of injuries.

The awards are voted on by the 30 team beat writers from MLB.com.

 

SOCCER-PLANE CRASH

Colombian team offers title to ill-fated opponents…

MEDELLIN, Colombia (AP) —The Colombian soccer team that was scheduled to play the ill-fated Brazilian club in a South American championship says it’s offering the title to the rivals whose plane has crashed.

The Medellin (meh-deh-YEEN’)-based team says it’s asked the South American soccer confederation to award the title in honor of the Brazilian team that was aboard a plane that went down with the loss of 71 of the 77 people aboard.

Three team members were among the six that survived.

One of them, goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, had to have his right leg amputated as a result of injuries suffered in the crash.
