GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Four siblings from Grand Forks are facing felony charges for distributing methamphetamine.
The four individuals face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the state charges. Federal felony charges may soon be filed.
Law enforcement officials allege that 42-year-old Don Keplin, 31-year-old Dustin Keplin, 29-year-old Desiree Keplin and 26-year-old Doree Keplin were involved in sale of meth to confidential informants.
Don, Dustin and Doree are in Grand Forks County jail awaiting trial; Desiree bailed out.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – One of four people charged with dealing cocaine, heroin, marijuana and ecstasy in North Dakota and Minnesota has been sentenced in federal court.

Authorities say Ancona and others obtained the drugs in the Minneapolis area and distributed them in Fargo, Grand Forks, Williston, Moorhead, Minn., Alexandria, Minn., and Thief River Falls, Minn.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is slated to visit the Minot Air Force Base today.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey’s visit comes just days after an officer of the 91st Missile Wing’s operations support squadron was ousted due to a “a loss of confidence.”
The base is the command center for 150 Minuteman III missiles and is one of two B-52 bomber bases in the country. The base has suffered a rash of nuclear-related missteps since 2007 that has cost several officers their careers.
Most recently, the base earned the equivalent of a “D” grade in a March test of its mastery of missile launch operations. That led the Air Force to strip several officers of their authority to control and launch nuclear missiles.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A federal judge says the Georgetown University law school did not discriminate against a former North Dakota attorney general based on his age when he was passed over for a faculty position. Nick Spaeth originally filed the lawsuit in July 2011 against the Michigan State University law school when he didn’t get an interview. He later expanded the suit to include five more law schools, but dropped all those complaints except the one against Georgetown.
MINTO, N.D. (AP) – More than 170 volunteers turned out in Minto to try to break the Guinness world record for the largest single serving of chili.
Minto resident Chris Misialek brought the community together to break the record.
A trailer dragged a 300-gallon milk-holding container onto Main Street on Saturday. Inside the tank there was 2,420 pounds of chili con carne.
Funds raised from the feed will go to several different groups. One of those is the Sunshine Memorial Foundation, founded by Grand Forks native Donovan Larson.
Organizers estimate they have beaten the previous Guinness world record by about 1,000 pounds, but official results will not come in for several weeks.

NASCAR…
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP Jun 16, 2013) — Greg Biffle raced to his second straight Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway, easily holding off Kevin Harvick after points leader Jimmie Johnson smacked the wall in the final laps Sunday.
It was the 1,000th victory for Ford across NASCAR’s three national series – Cup, Nationwide and Truck.
It was Biffle’s first win since he overtook Johnson to win at MIS in August. Johnson’s engine faltered with six laps left in that race. This time, he was about a second behind Biffle with three laps to go – but a tire give way, and he dropped all the way to 28th.
Harvick was second, 3 seconds behind Biffle. Martin Truex Jr. was next, followed by Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart.
Johnson wasn’t the only big name who ran into trouble. Jeff Gordon was out of contention almost immediately when he hit a spinning Bobby Labonte less than 10 laps into the 200-lap, 400-mile race. Gordon finished 39th, one spot behind Kasey Kahne, who led at the halfway point but appeared to blow a tire and went sliding into the wall.
Kahne’s car caught fire, but he was able to climb out quickly.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won at MIS last June, finished 37th Sunday. He led for 34 laps, but his engine acted up about two-thirds of the way through the race.
There were eight cautions for 38 laps.
Pole winner Carl Edwards finished eighth. Kurt Busch qualified second but went into an early spin and finished 35th.
