BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A program that provides funds for conservation projects in North Dakota may be doling out $4.6 million to government agencies, nonprofits and other groups for everything from native prairie restoration to gardens and trails.
The three-member, all-Republican North Dakota Industrial Commission will consider the 13 proposals on Tuesday. Gov. Doug Burgum is chairman of the commission, which regulates North Dakota’s oil and gas industry. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring are its other members.
The North Dakota Outdoor Heritage fund, which the Legislature established in 2013, may receive up to $20 million annually from oil and gas taxes. The goal is to restore land affected by energy production and to develop such things as fish and wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation areas.
A 12-member advisory board selected the projects from an initial pool of 21 applications totaling $7.2 million. The advisory board consists of agriculture, energy, conservation, business and recreation officials.
North Dakota Natural Resources Trust Inc., a Bismarck-based nonprofit, and the Dunn County Soil Conservation District submitted the largest grant request, at $2.1 million. The groups propose to use the money for such things as grass and crop seeding, water enhancements and other projects in western North Dakota.
The second-biggest request is from Audubon Dakota, which wants more than $943,000 to fund native prairie restoration, invasive species control and other projects in Stutsman County, in east-central North Dakota.
Other proposals include seeding more than 700 acres in Bismarck, Minot, Grand Forks and Fargo with native grasses and wildflowers and a $33,000 project in Jamestown that includes a “sensory” garden.
Industrial Commission Executive Director Karlene Fine said 117 projects have been financed at more than $32 million since the Legislature created the fund five years ago.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A journalist arrested last year while covering protests over the Dakota Access oil pipeline has been cleared of criminal trespass charges.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Judge Thomas Schneider ruled Friday that Jenni Monet complied with police orders while reporting on the demonstration.
Court records say Monet was reporting for Yes! Magazine on police clearing a protest camp in Morton County when she and about 75 others were arrested on Feb. 1, 2017. Police testified that the camp sat on Dakota Access-owned property, but demonstrators alleged it was treaty land.
Schneider says Monet didn’t knowingly break the law when she stayed while police ordered everyone to leave the property.
Monet said Friday that journalism is vital in “shining a light where there’s darkness, especially in marginalized communities like Standing Rock.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Dwight Clark will forever be remembered for one iconic moment, his leap in the back of the end zone to make a fingertip grab of a game-winning touchdown that launched the San Francisco 49ers dynasty and is one of the most indelible images in NFL history.
Clark, the author of one play simply known as “The Catch,” died Monday just more than one year after revealing he had ALS. He was 61.
Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. said in a statement, “Today, I lost my little brother and one of my best friends. I cannot put into words how special Dwight was to me and to everyone his life touched. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother and a great friend and teammate. He showed tremendous courage and dignity in his battle with ALS and we hope there will soon be a cure for this horrendous disease.”
Clark said in March 2017 that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), which attacks cells that control muscles. He suspected playing football might have caused the illness.
The team said he died Monday surrounded by friends and family.
Clark won two Super Bowls with the 49ers during a nine-year career that ended in 1987.
In other NFL news:
— The Chicago Bears have re-signed veteran tight end Zach Miller to a one-year contract, clearing the way for him to return from a gruesome injury last October that nearly cost him his left leg. Miller tore an artery while dislocating his knee trying to make a touchdown catch during the Week 8 game at New Orleans. He has undergone at least eight surgeries since then, but was walking on his own by late December.
— The Denver Broncos held linebacker Shane Ray out of workouts today due to a sore wrist. Ray broke his left wrist in July and underwent three surgeries that caused him to miss the opening six games in 2017. He had one sack over the next eight contests before going back on injured reserve.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL-OBIT-NEWTON
UNDATED (AP) — Officials at Alabama and Kentucky say that Hall of Fame former administrator and basketball coach C.M. Newton has died. He was 88.
Newton was a member of Kentucky’s 1951 NCAA championship squad during a basketball career spanning more than 50 years as a player, coach and administrator.
Newton also influenced selection of the original U.S. Olympic “Dream Team” in 1992.
Inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2000, Newton was also a member of several halls of fame.
PENN STATE-ABUSE-COURT RECORDS
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania appeals court on Monday ordered the release of documents sealed in the criminal case against former Penn State administrators over their handling of child sex abuse complaints about former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The three-judge Superior Court panel’s unanimous decision concerned many of the more than 200 records sealed in the case against former university president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley.
Spanier is currently appealing his guilty verdict on a single count of child endangerment. Schultz and Curley pleaded guilty to the same offense and have served jail time. Lawyers for all three declined comment on the appeals court decision.
The judges said the basic information in many of the documents sought by The Associated Press has previously been made public and should be released, although they also ruled that sealed “proffers” were not made part of the court record and so are not subject to public disclosure. Docket entries also must be revealed.
The appeals court criticized the trial judge for issuing a blanket order sealing all documents rather than specifying why he was sealing each individual record.
GLF-US OPEN-QUALIFYING
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Adam Scott went through U.S. Open qualifying for the first time in his career and made it with one stroke to spare.
Scott two-putted from about 30 feet for par on his final hole at The Lakes Golf and Country Club for an even-par 72 to be among 14 players who made it through the 36-hole qualifier.
One shot less and Scott would have been in a 10-man playoff for the final spot. Instead, he will be competing in his 68th consecutive major dating to the 2001 U.S. Open.
The U.S. Open is June 14-17 at Shinnecock Hills.
SPORTS BETTING-NJ
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey lawmakers are considering a change to their proposed sports betting law that would require the major professional sports leagues to consult with state gambling regulators before rules governing the betting are issued.
A state Senate committee is considering the change to the law. A state Assembly committee advanced the bill earlier Monday.
The bill does not contain an integrity fee payment for sports leagues to help them police betting patterns. Officials of Major League Baseball, the NBA and the PGA Tour testified that they need the fee.
But Democratic Assemblyman Ralph Caputo says “that’s not gonna happen.”
