BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has appointed Judge Jon Jensen to the North Dakota Supreme Court.

Burgum on Wednesday named Jensen to replace Justice Carol Kapsner. Kapsner announced her resignation in April after nearly 18 years on the state’s highest court.

In a statement, Burgum says Jensen “brings a wealth of private sector, public sector, legal and judicial experience.” He was among three finalists whose names were forwarded to the governor by a nominating committee.

Jensen is presiding judge for the Northeast Central District. He is a graduate of the University of North Dakota School of Law and previously was in private practice in Grand Forks.

Jensen will serve at least two years before the general election in November 2020, when he must run for a new term.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Crop production in drought-stricken North Dakota is forecast to be down dramatically this year.The Agriculture Department estimates the state’s staple spring wheat crop will total 196 million bushels, down 27 percent from last year.

Oat production is expected to be down 30 percent, barley production down 47 percent, durum wheat down 50 percent and winter wheat down 74 percent.

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows nearly all of western North Dakota in either severe or extreme drought. Most of the rest of North Dakota is in moderate drought or abnormally dry.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — President Donald Trump has approved a disaster declaration for parts of North Dakota hit by spring flooding.

Trump on Wednesday ordered federal aid to supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts in 10 counties and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Reservation.

Gov. Doug Burgum says the declaration triggers federal assistance of about $3.25 million to cover eligible costs in the affected communities. That’s based on a preliminary assessment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA will conduct a more thorough inspection to document and reimburse actual costs.

The grants are funded on a cost-sharing basis of 75 percent federal, 10 percent state and 15 percent local.

The affected areas include Benson, Bottineau, Cavalier, McHenry, Pembina, Pierce, Renville, Rolette, Towner and Walsh counties as well as the Turtle Mountain reservation.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has further relaxed commercial driving restrictions to help drought-stricken North Dakota farmers and ranchers.His executive order Wednesday allows producers to drive farm vehicles farther than 150 miles without a commercial driver’s license. That means they can travel longer distances to transport livestock, hay and water.

Burgum earlier waived driving hour restrictions on commercial haulers of hay, water and livestock, and eased weight limits for those trucks.

The state also is putting more money into its Drought Disaster Livestock Water Supply cost-share program.

Eight National Guard helicopters stand ready to help fight wildfires.

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows nearly all of western North Dakota in either severe or extreme drought, and most of the rest of the state in either moderate drought or abnormally dry.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has stopped in North Dakota on his personal challenge to visit every state in the U.S. this year.Zuckerberg visited the Bakken on Tuesday and toured an oil rig near Williston. During his two-hour tour, Zuckerberg visited with oil and gas employees and learned about their jobs in North Dakota.

In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg said regardless of people’s views on energy, he thinks people will find the Bakken community “fascinating.” And while he said many people he talked to acknowledged climate change, Zuckerberg said they also “feel a sense of pride that their work contributes to serving real needs we all have every day.”

The tour was organized by the North Dakota Petroleum Council with help from Statoil, Nabors Drilling and Neset Consulting Service.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Want to live in a governor’s mansion without being elected? Then North Dakota has a deal for you, with a catch.

The 10,000-square-foot house has served North Dakota’s first families for 57 years. The state wants to preserve it while making way for a larger $5 million mansion, but that means the old house needs to be moved no later than September.

Unpretentious and sturdy, the prairie-style brick Governor’s Residence has stood since 1960 as a metaphor for the state. Lawmakers have been trying to replace it for years, saying in part that it doesn’t dazzle visiting dignitaries and has security issues.

Capitol Facilities Manager John Boyle says proposals will be taken through Aug. 2.

A local home mover says moving such a house could cost at least $250,000.

TOUR…

PAU, France (AP) — German rider Marcel Kittel claimed the 11th stage of the Tour de France in a sprint finish on Wednesday, taking his tally to five stage wins since the start of the race.

Ahead of two hard days in the Pyrenees mountains, Chris Froome finished in the main pack to retain the race leader’s yellow jersey.

A sprint specialist, Kittel has now won 14 Tour de France stages in five appearances at cycling’s showcase event, a record for a German rider.

The stage took the peloton on a flat, 203.5-kilometer (126-mile) run from Eymet to Pau in southwestern France.

 

NBA…

UNDATED (AP) — The Utah Jazz have added another defensive specialist to their lineup.

Multiple reports say the Jazz have acquired swingman Thabo Sefolosha (seh-foh-LOH’-shah), who spent the last three seasons with Atlanta. ESPN first reported that Sefolosha would get a two-year, $10.5 million deal.

He averaged 7.2 points last season and is considered one of the NBA’s top defenders.

The Jazz allowed the fewest points per game in the NBA last season.

Also in the NBA:

— The Washington Wizards have signed shooting guard Jodie Meeks, giving the team another strong 3-point shooter. The 29-year-old Meeks averaged 9.1 points while hitting 41 percent of his 3-point attempts in 36 games for Orlando last season. He has averaged 9.8 points over a 454-game career that also includes stops with the Bucks, 76ers, Lakers and Pistons.

— The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved some changes that will potentially eliminate four time-outs per game, help speed up the final minutes of games and emphasize a timely resumption of play after halftime next season. Teams will be limited to two time-outs in the final three minutes of a game, instead of having up to three. All four quarters will have two mandatory time-outs, after the 7- and 3-minute marks.

PARIS (AP) — Reporters covering President Donald Trump’s trip to Paris are getting off to a rather chaotic start after a segment of his motorcade was separated from him. Some cars on the tail end of Trump’s motorcade took a wrong turn, drove into oncoming traffic and barely dodged a few pedestrians. The traveling press corps was among the lost cars and was not able to document Trump’s arrival at the ambassador’s residence. The Trumps are in Paris for Bastille Day celebrations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leaders are trotting out their new but reeling health care bill. And they’re pushing toward a showdown vote next week amid indications that they have lots of work ahead to win over GOP lawmakers or face a resounding failure. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to present the revamped measure rolling back much of President Barack Obama’s health care law to GOP senators Thursday. But many are already complaining about it.

NEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Investigators say they’ve found the body of one of four missing young men along with other human remains buried on a Pennsylvania farm. Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said early Thursday that cadaver dogs led them to the spot on the farm in Solebury Township where they found human remains inside a 12½-foot-deep (3.66-meter-deep) common grave. The body identified was that of 19-year-old Dean Finocchiaro. The other remains have not yet been identified.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana senator who railed against Carrier Corp. for moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico profits from a family business that relies on Mexican labor to produce dye for ink pads. Democrat Joe Donnelly’s financial disclosure reports he owns up to $50,000 in stock with Stewart Superior Corp. However, the company’s use of Mexican workers for some of its production seems to contradict Donnelly’s fierce opposition to free-trade policies.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The top U.S. diplomat returned to the besieged nation of Qatar for a second and final round of talks on a shuttle-diplomacy tour aimed at breaking a deadlock between the tiny OPEC member and four Arab neighbors.
