GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The Federal Aviation Administration says North Dakota’s unmanned aircraft system test site is ready for operations.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta signed the certificate during a visit to the state Monday.
The FAA late last year named North Dakota as one of six states that will be test sites for integrating drones into civilian airspace. North Dakota’s test site is part of a new aerospace and business complex at the Grand Forks Air Force Base.
The FAA says the main goal of the state’s initial operations is to show that drones can check soil quality and the status of crops in some areas.
Initials flights will be over Carrington, and a second set of missions are scheduled over Devils Lake.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge has granted a new lawyer for a North Dakota man who has been questioned by police investigating a suspected murder-for-hire scheme in Washington state.
James Henrikson, of Watford City, says his court-appointed attorney told him he was guilty on federal weapons charges and advised him to waive his right to a speedy trial.
Judge Daniel Hovland approved Henrikson’s request Monday.
Authorities say Henrikson had business dealings in the North Dakota oil patch with Doug Carlile, who was shot and killed by an intruder on Dec. 15 at his Spokane, Wash., home.
Spokane police say Henrikson told them that Carlile owed him nearly $1.9 million and that he was angry with Carlile, but denied being involved in Carlile’s death.
Lawyers in the case were not immediately available for comment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Bank of North Dakota has set a profit record for the 10th straight year.

Bank President Eric Hardmeyer is slated to present the 2013 results Monday to the North Dakota Industrial Commission.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Doug Goehring, the state agriculture commissioner, make up the Industrial Commission. It is the board of directors for the bank.
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – The early days of Devils Lake are being celebrated in an exhibition at the Lake Region Heritage Center.
The recently unveiled “Memories of Boomtown” showcases life in the area between 1890 and 1920.
Lisa Zimmerman is the museum’s director and curator. She says visitors will be able to learn about how the area has changed because the exhibition highlights the region’s story during that period and not just artifacts.
The exhibition features the federal courtroom, a barbershop and a dentist’s office, among other displays.
Zimmerman says the area’s population grew from a few hundred to several thousand during those 30 years. She says the increase in population led to a business boom and the opening of additional recreational activities.

Adelman made the announcement on Monday, five days after the Wolves wrapped up a disappointing 40-42 season.
The decision brings to an end to a celebrated coaching career that includes 1,042 victories, eighth on the NBA’s career list. He coached Western Conference powers in Portland and Sacramento and also had stops in Golden State and Houston.
Adelman says the time is right for him to step aside and spend more time with his wife, Mary Kay, who has been treated for seizures over the last two years. He also thinks the Wolves need a fresh voice in now to help them try to persuade star power forward Kevin Love to remain in Minnesota.
