(AP) \u2014 Officials in drought-stricken North Dakota say wildfires have burned about 156 square miles of land across the state so far this year, more than seven times the amount from all of last year. The state Department of Emergency Services and North Dakota Forest Service say that nearly 1,400 fires have been confirmed in 2021. There were a total of 921 fires recorded last year that burned fewer than 20 square miles. State Forester Tom Claeys says North Dakota has experienced some of the driest winter and spring months in 127 years of recordkeeping. The Minot Daily News reports that limited moisture along with warm temperatures have increased the intensity and size of wildfires this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Bismarck man who pleaded guilty to buying alcohol for a teenage girl and raping her while she was asleep or passed out has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Forty-three-year-old John Burnette III appeared in court on Friday. He also must spend five years on supervised probation and register as a sex offender upon his release. The girl told police she drank at Burnette\u2019s residence and awoke to him raping her. Police say they found evidence on Burnette\u2019s phone that he photographed the girl and distributed the photos, and that he bought alcohol for her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A $2.75 billion project aimed at protecting Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota, from chronic flooding is gaining ground. It&#8217;s getting a $569 million loan from the Environmental Protection Agency. Also, local officials have picked an international consortium to build and provide some up-front capital for a key piece that involves diverting Red River floodwaters through a 30-mile channel. Officials say the public-private partnership for the project is a first for the Corps. They say it could be a model for big infrastructure projects elsewhere. Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney called the announcements important milestones in protecting North Dakota\u2019s largest city from flooding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota regulators have set another deadline for Meridian Energy Group to begin construction on its $1 billion oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park or risk losing its permit. Meridian\u2019s permit from the state Department of Environmental Quality was set to expire last Saturday unless construction had begun on the Davis Refinery. Earlier this month the company asked for an extension on that deadline, citing delays related to the coronavirus pandemic and litigation. Regulators granted an extension until Sept. 12 to start construction, a month short of what Meridian had requested.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 A Twin Cities woman was less than a week into her new marriage to a fellow Air Force veteran when she was allegedly shot to death by her ex-husband. Police say Lauri Deatherage was killed inside her Robbinsdale home Friday, four days after both her 48th birthday and her wedding to Billy Deatherage. The Star Tribune reports that Lauri Deatherage\u2019s 64-year-old ex-husband was arrested after a 10-hour standoff with police and is awaiting charges. Billy Deatherage told the newspaper Sunday that he met his wife 30 years ago while stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.

The Olympics are set to open July 23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Claudette has returned to tropical storm strength Monday morning as it nears the coast of the Carolinas. The system had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph Monday morning, less than two days after Claudette was blamed for 13 deaths in Alabama. A multi-vehicle crash killed eight children who were riding in a van for a youth home for abused or neglected kids. The wreck also claimed the lives of a Tennessee man and his infant daughter. Separately, a tree fell on a home killing an adult and a toddler, and a woman whose car ran off the road into a swollen creek died in north Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Officials say a radar-confirmed tornado swept through suburban Chicago, damaging homes, toppling trees, knocking out power and causing some injuries. A report to the National Weather Service says a least four injuries were reported in Naperville, where a dozen homes were damaged and numerous large trees were downed by a probable tornado late Sunday. Officials in the nearby village of Woodridge said a tornado touched down late Sunday. There were no reports of significant injuries in the community. The threat for wind damage remained for a few hours as the line of storms moved over northern Illinois and into northwestern Indiana, and the severe threat was declared over at 2 a.m. local time. Severe thunderstorms also brought gusting winds and drenching rains to parts of Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) \u2014 Palestinian officials say Israel has eased some restrictions on the Gaza Strip that had threatened a fragile cease-fire. An announcement on Monday says 11 truckloads of clothes were exported into Gaza through Kerem Shalom crossing for the first time in 40 days. On Sunday, Israel said it will allow limited agricultural exports from Gaza. The easing also included the resumption of mail service in and out of Gaza. That&#8217;s according to Palestinian officials. Since the 11-day war in May between Israel and Gaza&#8217;s Hamas rulers, thousands of Gazan passports and other essential paperwork had accumulated on the way to the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority for further processing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GENEVA (AP) \u2014 The U.N.\u2019s top human rights body opened its latest session and was immediately embroiled in a debate over the representation of Myanmar, where a military coup toppled the civilian government in February. Western states lined up to insist that two planned debates on the human rights situation in Myanmar at the Human Rights Council should go forward even without the country represented. But China, the Philippines and Venezuela countered that it should be. Myanmar hasn\u2019t been represented at the U.N. in Geneva since the civilian government\u2019s ambassador left after the coup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BANGKOK (AP) \u2014 World markets are mixed after a sell-off Friday on Wall Street gave the S&amp;P 500 its worst weekly loss since February. Japan&#8217;s benchmark fell 3.3% on Monday but shares rose in London and Frankfurt. U.S. futures were higher. Investors are thinking over the Federal Reserve\u2019s signal that it may raise current ultra-low interest rates sooner than expected and slow its market-supporting bond purchases. The fear is that burgeoning inflation may prompt central banks to dial back the lavish support that has lifted markets to new highs after they plunged at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEOUL, South Korea (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden\u2019s special envoy for North Korea says he hopes to see a positive reaction from the North soon on U.S. offers for talks after the North Korean leader ordered officials to prepare for both dialogue and confrontation. Sung Kim, Biden\u2019s special representative for North Korea, is in Seoul to speak with South Korean and Japanese officials about the U.S.\u2019s stalled diplomacy with the North over its nuclear program and U.S.-led sanctions. The trilateral talks followed a North Korean political conference last week where leader Kim Jong Un called for stronger efforts to improve his nation\u2019s economy, further battered last year by pandemic border closures and now facing worsening food shortages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .REST OF TODAY&#8230;Mostly sunny.
