BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is clarifying remarks he made to President Donald Trump about the rate of addiction among the state’s inmates.
Trump met with some governors and state attorneys general in New Jersey Thursday to discuss prison reform.
Burgum told Trump that “100 percent of the women” and “85 percent of men” in North Dakota’s prison system have the “disease of addiction.”
Burgum spokesman Mike Nowatzki says the Republican governor meant to say that in some months, all women and up to 85 percent of men who enter the prison system suffer from addiction. Nowatzki says a corrected statement is being sent to the White House.
Nowatzki did not know the actual percentage of inmates who suffer from some form of addiction.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s health department says it has received 19 applications to open medical marijuana dispensaries in Fargo and Bismarck.
The health department says eight of the applications are for the Bismarck/Mandan area and 11 are for Fargo. WDAY-TV reports the application period for those two regions ended Tuesday.
Health department officials expect to select the dispensaries around Sept. 21 and the plan is to have the businesses open by mid-2019.
Voters legalized medical marijuana in 2016. The health department designated eight zones across the state where the dispensaries can operate and the application process is being staggered.
NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — The family of an American Indian woman who went missing in North Dakota for nine months before her body was found in a lake wants to help develop a comprehensive missing person protocol for tribes.
Thirty-two-year-old Olivia Lone Bear went missing on the Fort Berthold Reservation last October. Her body was found earlier this month in a pickup truck pulled from Lake Sakakawea.
The FBI is investigating what happened to the mother of five children.
Brother Matthew Lone Bear says it’s difficult in Indian Country to launch a missing person investigation. The family wants to help streamline the process.
North Dakota Indian Affairs Commissioner Scott Davis tells the Bismarck Tribune that his office plans to discuss drafting missing person guidelines for tribes and other ways to improve searches.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A reprieve from drought this summer in North Dakota is good not only for farmers but also duck hunters.
The Game and Fish Department says duck broods in the state are up 37 percent from last year.
The outlook wasn’t so bright last spring, when a department survey estimated the number of breeding ducks was down 5 percent from 2017 due mainly to the deterioration of wetlands during last summer’s drought.
But Mike Szymanski (shuh-MAN’-skee) with Game and Fish says most of the state received abundant rainfall from late May through early July.
The amount of water available to ducks in the state is up 11 percent from 2017. Last summer, the amount was down 38 percent from the previous year, as smaller, seasonal wetlands dried up during the drought.
