BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum says a voter referendum to repeal a budget provision for a proposed Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library would likely have a “low chance” of passing.
Those who oppose the Legislature’s approval of $50 million to operate and maintain the library in Medora are petitioning to place a referendum on the June 2020 primary ballot to repeal the state funding, which must be matched by $100 million in private money.
The Bismarck Tribune reports one opponent, Riley Kuntz, says the library is a “gross misappropriation of funds” for a project that honors a president who wasn’t even from North Dakota.
Roosevelt spent four years on a ranch in the North Dakota Badlands while in his 20s. The area is now a national park and the state’s top tourist attraction.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Petroleum Council and state officials say a new oilfield safety training program, 18 months in the making, will be a time-saver for tens of thousands of contract workers.
Council president Ron Ness says 50 oil companies worked on the standards for the One Basin-One Way curriculum which aims to save time for oilfield contractors who often sit through multiple, redundant safety trainings on workplace hazards in a year. North Dakota’s oilfield has about 32,000 contracted employees.
The Bismarck Tribune says the two-part program involves four hours of classroom instruction, followed by refresher training the next year and then repeats. The training network TrainND Northwest in Williston and the North Dakota Safety Council will conduct the orientations in Bismarck, Dickinson, Fargo, Minot, Watford City and Williston.
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — The former manager of a western Minnesota grain elevator has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for a swindle that cost his employer millions of dollars.
Fifty-six-year-old Jerry Hennessey of Dalton pleaded guilty in February to mail fraud and tax evasion in a 15-year scheme to defraud the Ashby Farmers’ Co-Operative Elevator Co. in Ashby, Minnesota.
Prosecutors say Hennessey used the money to pay for exotic hunting trips, real estate and credit card debt.
The Star Tribune reports Hennessey concealed the payments as expenses for the co-op. He eventually got a line of credit of about $7 million for the co-op, then used that account to cover more than $5 million that prosecutors say he stole from the company.
Hennessey disappeared for two months before turning himself in in December.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.N. says Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ message to the United States and Iran is to avoid anything that would escalate the current tense situation and “to have nerves of steel.”
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters at U.N. headquarters Friday that “the secretary-general firmly believes in the need for dialogue between the parties involved as probably the best way to defuse tension and to avoid any escalation.”
Dujarric said the U.N. has been in contact with the parties at various levels and is passing the same message in public and it is in private, “which is to avoid any escalation.”
Dujarric announced that Guterres will be attending the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, next week but said he didn’t know yet if the secretary-general would meet there with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Tensions have escalated dramatically since Iran downed a large U.S. drone which it said violated its airspace. The U.S. said the unmanned drone was in international airspace.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says it has barred U.S.-registered aircraft from operating over parts of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman over heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The FAA made the announcement on the Twitter account early Friday after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a U.S. Navy drone Thursday.
The FAA said this would affect the area of the Tehran Flight Information Region.
The specifics of the warning could not be immediately accessed.
The Persian Gulf region is home to some of the world’s top long-haul carriers.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is throwing out the murder conviction and death sentence for a black man in Mississippi because of a prosecutor’s efforts to keep African Americans off the jury. The defendant already has been tried six times and now could face a seventh trial.
The court’s 7-2 decision Friday says the removal of black prospective jurors violated the rights of inmate Curtis Flowers.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the court’s majority opinion. Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — When a special forces medic was called to testify in the case of a Navy SEAL accused of stabbing an Islamic State fighter in his care, prosecutors expected the medic to bolster their case.
Corey Scott delivered in part, saying Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher unexpectedly plunged a knife into the adolescent detainee in 2017 after treating his wounds in Iraq.
But the government was floored by what came next.
Scott took the blame for the killing, saying he suffocated the boy in an act of mercy shortly after Gallagher stabbed him.
It was a stunning twist in an already tumultuous case.
And it illustrated the challenges of prosecuting war crimes cases, especially those involving members of the secretive special forces.
CHICAGO (AP) — A judge has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the decision by Cook County prosecutors to dismiss all charges against actor Jussie Smollett.
On Friday, Cook County Judge Michael Toomin suggested Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx mishandled the case by appointing a top aide to handle it after she recused herself.
Foxx has been under fire for her handling the probe into the former “Empire” actor’s claims that he was the victim of a racial and homophobic attack by two men in January. Foxx’s office charged Smollett with 16 counts of disorderly conduct after police announced that their investigation showed that Smollett staged the attack on himself.
Foxx’s office stunningly dropped all of the charges weeks later, prompting a former state appellate judge to push for a special prosecutor.
