WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s top oil regulator says recent global oil price drops could potentially halt drilling in several of the state’s counties and force the state to reevaluate its budget.
Lynn Helms is director of the North Dakota Industrial Commission Department of Mineral Resources. Helms says it’s currently not profitable to drill in three counties at today’s price of North Dakota light sweet crude.
Helms says North Dakota light sweet crude traded as low as $66.25 a barrel Wednesday. A barrel traded at more than $90 a barrel as recently as June.
Helms says falling oil prices could force North Dakota to reevaluate its budget for the next biennium. He says that preliminary budget is based off of projections that put the price of North Dakota oil at $90 a barrel.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The harvest of North Dakota’s staple spring wheat crop has wrapped up, and farmers are nearly done seeding winter wheat.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that 94 percent of the state’s winter wheat crop is in the ground, and more than half of it has emerged.
Farmers are still finishing up the durum wheat harvest – it’s 92 percent complete. Producers who have finished harvesting small grains have moved on to fall tillage and fertilizer applications.
The harvest of late-season crops continues, with both the potato and sugar beet harvests nearing completion, ahead of the average pace.
Pasture and range conditions are rated 78 percent good to excellent, and stockwater supplies are 98 percent adequate to surplus.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Police in Bismarck are searching a home where an 8-foot boa constrictor went missing sometime overnight.
Authorities say they believe the snake is likely still inside the home. Officers have already informed neighbors about the missing snake.
The home’s residents say the boa was in its enclosure before they went to bed Tuesday night. They contacted animal control after they searched the house and couldn’t find the snake.
Police say there are many hiding areas inside the house where the snake could be. They say the boa also may have gotten into the duct work.
Boa constrictors are not venomous and they usually hunt small rodents. Generally, they are not dangerous to humans.
Authorities are asking anyone who sees the snake to contact the Bismarck Police Department.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – Officials have broken ground on a $6.1 million housing development in Watford City for essential medical personnel in the growing oil patch city.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple joined officials with McKenzie County Healthcare Systems and the state Housing Finance Agency for Wednesday’s ceremony.
The project is getting financial help through the state’s Housing Incentive Fund and the state-owned Bank of North Dakota.
McKenzie County Healthcare Systems CEO Daniel Kelly says the housing project will help attract and retain health care workers when it’s completed in about a year.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Supporters of spending a bigger portion of North Dakota’s oil tax revenues on conservation projects have sent a campaign mailer asking residents to protect “North Dakota heritage.”
But the advertisement mailed this month shows the Badlands in South Dakota – not those in North Dakota.
The measure is a proposed constitutional amendment. It would set aside 5 percent of North Dakota’s oil tax collections in a special fund for conservation projects.
Ducks Unlimited regional director Steve Adair is chairman of the initiative campaign. He says the image was stock photo and was mistakenly used by an out-of-state company that crafted the mailer.
Jon Godfread is heading a group opposing the initiative campaign. He says the mailer shows that backers of the measure are out of touch with North Dakota.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The second Dallas nurse infected with Ebola will be transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta from the Texas hospital where she was infected. Emory University Hospital is one of four hospitals with specialized isolation units to care for Ebola with less risk of spread to health care workers. Emory has treated three other Ebola patients. Meanwhile, Dr. Tom Frieden of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the first Dallas nurse to be infected is in “improved condition.”
NEW YORK (AP) – Even amid the stock market swings in recent weeks, there hasn’t been a day this bleak on Wall Street. The Dow industrials have been more than 400 points lower in afternoon trading, which would put the index on track for its biggest loss in more than a year. Traders are dumping risky assets and putting their money in investments seen as relatively safe — like U.S. government bonds. That pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to its lowest level in more than a year.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Gay marriage arrived Wednesday in one of the most conservative states in the nation. More than 100 same-sex couples gathered early at the courthouse in Boise, Idaho, counting down the seconds before the clerk’s office opened to issue marriage licenses. A councilwoman officiated the marriages of four of the eight women who had sued to challenge Idaho’s ban on gay marriages. Idaho is the latest state to recognize gay marriage after a burst of court rulings around the country.
WASHINGTON (AP) – In recent years, the United States has carried out operations in Iraq known as Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Desert Fox. And now, the Pentagon has finally named its fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. It’s being called Operation Inherent Resolve. The naming process is part of a package of administrative moves to organize a long-term military campaign against the militants.
NEW YORK (AP) – A man who served nearly 30 years in prison for a New York City murder is being freed after prosecutors concluded he falsely confessed when he was 16. The convictions of David McCallum and the late Willie Stuckey were thrown out Wednesday at the request of Brooklyn’s district attorney.
