DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 26-year-old Killdeer man was killed and three people were injured in a head-on crash in western North Dakota.
The patrol says the crash happened Sunday night on Highway 22, about two miles north of Dickinson.
Troopers say a man was killed after his Toyota Corolla veered into the southbound lane of the highway, hitting a Mercedes Benz head-on. A 17-year-old female passenger in the Toyota was injured and taken to a Dickinson hospital.
The patrol says the 25-year-old driver of the Mercedes and his 21-year-old female passenger also were injured and taken to a local hospital.
GRASS RANGE, Mont. (AP) – A single-vehicle rollover in central Montana has claimed the life of a 44-year-old North Dakota man.
Authorities identified the victim as Dana M. Jensen of Bismarck.
The Montana Highway Patrol says the accident occurred about 3 p.m. Friday on U.S. 87 near Grass Range, east of Lewistown.
Jensen was driving the vehicle westbound when it drifted off the right side of the road, causing him to overcorrect and send the car into a spin.
The Great Falls Tribune reports that the car then struck a culvert, went airborne and rolled several times.
A 15-year-old female passenger was injured and taken to Central Montana Medical Center in Lewistown. An 8-year-old boy was not injured. Information on the girl’s condition was not immediately available.

Police say they will release more details on the robberies today.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – State data show the number of oil drilling rigs in North Dakota is at the lowest level since 2009.
The state Department of Mineral Resources says there were 75 rigs drilling in western North Dakota’s oil patch on Monday. That’s 112 fewer than one year ago. There were 214 rigs drilling on the same day in 2012.
The drop occurs as companies are pumping less crude amid oil prices that have plummeting more than 40 percent since last year.
Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms predicted last month that production would hover around 1 million barrels a day until prices rebound.
Officials say each active oil rig represents about 40 direct jobs and 80 indirect jobs in the state.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The state Transportation Department says two lanes of a truck bypass in Williston are open.
Officials tell the Williston Herald that the Northwest Truck Reliever Route is intended to ease traffic congestion in the city and make driving safer.
The lanes were open on Saturday.
Williston Mayor Howard Klug says the route to divert truck traffic away from town will cost the state about $162 million.
Work on the southbound lanes of the route is expected to be completed in August.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Revisions to a proposed ordinance regulating mobile vendors in Bismarck would move the businesses off city streets to designated areas.
The change would move food trucks and other vendors to certain alleys and parking lots in the downtown area.
Supporters of the revised ordinance say the change is needed because 90-minute parking restrictions during the day make it difficult for the vendors to operate. Some people also complained about the trucks and equipment being left overnight.
A public hearing on the ordinance will be held later this month.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Marijuana companies in California and Colorado have tabbed prominent American Indian leaders from the Dakotas to help prod tribes across the nation into the pot business.
Tex Hall, the former chairman of the oil-rich Three Affiliated Tribes, and Robert Shepherd, former chairman of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate tribe that straddles both states, are trying to recruit and assist tribes in producing high-grade marijuana products.
With 566 federally recognized Indian tribes in the United States, the potential revenue for marijuana businesses is big. But Shepherd says many native leaders remain skeptical.
He says the federal government has done a good job portraying marijuana “as a horrible drug.”
The prospect of pot on tribal land is made possible by a U.S. Justice Department decision in December.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state tax commissioner is reminding North Dakotans that June 30 is the deadline to apply for a refund of fuel taxes paid in 2014 on gasoline and gasohol bought to power farm, ranch, and industrial equipment used off-road.
Fuel purchased for use by an emergency medical services operation also qualifies for a refund.
Taxes collected on motor fuels go toward highway maintenance. State Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger (RAW’-shuhn-bur-gur) says state law provides for the refund because construction and farm equipment typically doesn’t operate on public highways.
Fuel used in vehicles designed for use on public roads is not eligible for the refund.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Federal health officials have awarded $1 million to the state of North Dakota to provide family planning services.
U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says the North Dakota Department of Health will receive the funds to provide assistance statewide.
The federal funds are meant to be used to assist women and men understand and take responsibility for their reproductive health through education, counseling and medical services.
Heitkamp says it is “crucial” that individuals have access to family planning services and resources that they need. She adds that “supporting health care programs that are committed to serving North Dakota’s families positively impacts our communities.”
The funds have been authorized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Miss Grand Forks is moving on to represent North Dakota at the 2015 Miss America Pageant later this year.
Delanie Wiedrich, a native of Hazen, was named Miss North Dakota on Saturday night at Williston High School. She’ll compete in the national pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Sept. 13.
Wiedrich is a student at Minnesota State University, Mankato and received a $17,500 scholarship for winning the title.
Miss Fargo Faye Stromberg won first runner up, while Miss State Capitol Reyan Bergstrom of Horace got second runner up.
Last year’s Miss North Dakota, Jacky Arness, was named Miss Congeniality at the national pageant.
In sports…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department is encouraging outdoor recreationists to keep it clean this summer.
The agency says people using recreational areas should put trash in the proper receptacles, or take it home with them if garbage cans are full or not available. The department says it’s not unusual to see trash stacked up around full garbage cans.
Officials say Styrofoam containers that aren’t biodegradable, worn ties, old mattresses and kitchen appliances are among the trash that has been found in public use areas. With the Fourth of July approaching, fireworks will be added to the mix.
Littering violations can be reported to the Report All Poachers hotline, at 1-800-472-2121.
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – A proposal from federal wildlife officials could lead to additional fishing opportunities in North Dakota.
U.S. Sen. John Hoeven says the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing opening four wildlife refuges for sport fishing in the Devils Lake area.
The proposed rule would allow sport fishing for the first time at the Ardoch National Wildlife Refuge, the Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge, the Rose Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Silver Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
The Wildlife Service will be accepting public comments on the proposed rule through July 13. The agency expects to make a final decision in early August.
Hoeven says North Dakota has a “rich tradition of outdoor recreation” and the new fishing opportunities “will help continue that tradition while also contributing to the state’s economy.”

In world and national news…
DENVER (AP) – The Colorado Supreme Court is expected to issue its decision today in a case that may have a bearing on whether an employee can be fired for off-duty marijuana use in a state where pot is legal. The specific case deals with a man using medical marijuana who was fired by Dish Network for failing a marijuana test. But recreational use is also legal in Colorado.
CAIRO (AP) – Who did U.S. airstrikes in eastern Libya really kill? Washington says it was likely the man who led the attack on a gas plant in Algeria in 2013 that killed at least 35 hostages, including three Americans. But someone with ties to Libyan militants says the dead are four members of a Libyan extremist group linked to the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
LONDON (AP) – A human rights watchdog has a report out today suggesting that world leaders have abandoned millions of refugees to “an unbearable existence” and left thousands more to die by failing to provide basic human protections.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican says Pope Francis has accepted the resignations of St. Paul, Minnesota, Archbishop John Nienstedt (NYN’-stehd) and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Anthony Piche. Prosecutors have charged the archdiocese with failing to protect children from a pedophile priest. A code of canon law allows bishops to resign before they retire because of illness or other “grave” reason that makes them unfit for office.

TATP is a high explosive used in the 2005 London bombings that killed 52 commuters.
