 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Lawyers representing North Dakota’s lone abortion clinic in Fargo will seek litigation costs from the state after the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal last month to review lower court rulings overturning the state’s ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnancy.
 
     Red River Women’s Clinic Director Tammi Kromenaker says its attorneys will now request reimbursement from the state, but an amount has not been calculated.
 
     Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says it’s likely the state will have to pay the clinic’s fees. But he says the claims would be “scrutinized very closely.”
 
     The Republican-dominated Legislature passed the abortion law and others in 2013 and set aside $400,000 to defend lawsuits. Lawmakers added another $400,000 last year. Records show the state had used more than $320,000 to defend abortion laws through January.
 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Moorhead, Minnesota, man is suing Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative for injuries he suffered when he was severely burned while performing electrical work at the company’s sugar beet processing plant in Wahpeton.
 
     Zachary White is seeking unspecified damages for the November 2014 incident.
 
     Federal court documents show that White was working near a tank of scalding hot water that overflowed on him and a co-worker. The two workers say they were forced to jump 15 feet to the concrete floor.
 
     The complaint says White was burned on up to 49% of his body and suffered disfiguring burns to his face, chest, arms, legs and back.
 
    An attorney for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A woman severely injured in a Bismarck car crash last summer that killed two of her friends got a surprise visit from the University of North Dakota men’s hockey team.
 
     Dickinson native and former UND student Shayna Monson is at a rehabilitation center in Omaha, Nebraska. The UND hockey team was in Omaha for a weekend series against the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and  members of the team stopped in to see Monson.
 
     Monson was injured in a crash that killed Abby Renschler of Lincoln and Taylor Goven of Mandan.
 
     Police say their vehicle was hit head-on by a drunk driver traveling the wrong way on Bismarck Expressway. Jordan Morsette of Bismarck has pleaded not guilty to felony charges and is to stand trial in early April.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s congressional delegation says the state is getting a $125,000 federal grant for a program aimed at affordable early childhood education.
 
     The delegation says the money will be used to support the North Dakota Head Start State Collaboration Office. The office works to facilitate partnerships between Head Start agencies and other state entities that provide services to benefit low-income children and their families.
 
     The money comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Trade Office says the state’s first trade mission to India focused on selling soybeans, specialty crops such as dry beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils, and commercial products.
 
     Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring led the trade trip last week to the world’s second-most populous country. The delegation also included Trade Office officials and representatives of several businesses.
 
     Goehring says there are still some tariff issues that need to be worked through.
 
     India currently is North Dakota’s eighth-largest export market, with exports valued at $35 million in 2014.

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) – Donald Trump is blaming a bad earpiece. He told NBC’s “Today” show that he couldn’t hear the question when he claimed on CNN over the weekend that he didn’t know anything about former Klan leader David Duke. Trump says he “disavowed David Duke all weekend long on Facebook and on Twitter.”
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Top U.S. defense officials are providing new details about how the Pentagon is using its new aggressive cyber campaign as part of the military operations against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Defense Secretary Ash Carter says U.S. cyberattacks to disrupt the group’s communications and overload its networks could force the militants to use older technologies that are easier for the U.S. to intercept. 
 
     MADISON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) – A sheriff in southwestern Ohio says a 14-year-old student pulled out a gun in a school cafeteria and opened fire, hitting two students. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says two other students were injured at Madison Local Schools either as they tried to get away or from shrapnel from the shooting. He says the suspect ran from the school, threw the gun down and was apprehended nearby. The school has said none of injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
 
     VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican newspaper is praising the Oscar-winning film “Spotlight” as having given voice to the “profound pain” of the faithful over the reality of clerical sex abuse. And the newspaper insists that “Spotlight” is not an anti-Catholic film. Last night’s Best-Picture winner is about the Boston Globe’s efforts 14 years ago to expose the hundreds of children who were raped and molested by Catholic priests and the church’s systematic cover up of the crimes.
 
     NEW YORK (AP) – The daughter of actor Abe Vigoda is wondering why he was left out of the annual Oscars tribute to film stars and others in Hollywood who’ve died in the past year. Vigoda, who died in January at the age of 94, played Sal Tessio, the doomed Mafia soldier in “The Godfather.” Another actor from that movie, Alex Rocco, was included in the segment.
