BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Drought in western North Dakota has eased significantly over the past week.<\/p>\n

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows a reduction in extreme and exceptional drought from 19 percent to less than 4 percent, due to heavy rains. The northwestern corner of the state is the only area that remains in those categories of drought, which are the two worst.<\/p>\n

Overall, 87 percent of North Dakota is in some stage of drought, down from 93 percent last week.<\/p>\n

Seventy-two-percent of South Dakota is in some stage of drought, unchanged over the week. Areas in severe or extreme drought declined slightly, from 44 percent to 40 percent.<\/p>\n

The federal Agriculture Department reports that South Dakota leads major-producing states in very poor to poor ratings for sorghum, corn and soybean crops.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A report estimates that North Dakota could lose $1 billion in federal funding for health insurance over seven years under a Republican bill in Congress to replace the Obama health care overhaul.<\/p>\n

The bill would shift health care money and power from Washington to states. President Donald Trump and Republican Senate leaders are trying to rally 50 Republican votes to pass the bill.<\/p>\n

The analysis by Washington, D.C.-based Avalere Health compares projected spending under the current health care law and the Republican-backed legislation.<\/p>\n

It found that the proposed legislation would reduce funding to more than 30 states, including North Dakota, by a total of nearly $294 billion from 2020 to 2026. The analysis also found 16 states would gain nearly $80 billion, leaving a $215 billion net loss of funding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The president and chief executive of North Dakota’s largest business organization has resigned.<\/p>\n

The North Dakota Chamber of Commerce announced Thursday that Andy Peterson’s resignation was effective immediately.<\/p>\n

Peterson headed the group for seven years. He would not comment on the reason for his resignation but says he “wishes” the organization “all the best.”<\/p>\n

Chamber spokesman Jason Matthews says he did not know the reason for Peterson’s resignation.<\/p>\n

The group has more than 1,000 members and offers programs and services to help businesses in the state.<\/p>\n

Prior to heading the North Dakota group, Peterson was a longtime policy and education director for the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Matthews says a search for Peterson’s replacement has not begun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Officers Austin Bagley and Jacob Danielson say they would hear paramedics were on their way to the home, but the baby didn’t wait. KFGO reports the two helped deliver a baby girl.<\/p>\n

Mother and child were taken to Sanford Hospital. Officials say they’re doing fine.<\/p>\n

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new domestic violence shelter in Devils Lake is trying to raise money to keep its doors open.<\/p>\n

The Safe Alternatives for Abused Families shelter opened in April, and Director Molly McDonald says that there have been only two days in which no one has used it.<\/p>\n

The shelter serves a seven-county area, including the Spirit Lake Reservation. McDonald says the need has far exceeded projections, and it costs more than $500 per day to run the shelter.<\/p>\n

Each county and the reservation contributed $5,000 to get the shelter operating. The Devils Lake Journal reports that the Ramsey County Commission on Tuesday agreed to provide an additional $5,000 to keep it running.<\/p>\n

Fundraisers also are planned Friday and Oct. 19 to help address the budget shortfall.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are discussing the ongoing crisis with North Korea.

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Bernie Sanders is blasting President Donald Trump’s foreign policy but also criticizing how the United States has engaged in world affairs for generations. The former presidential candidate says U.S foreign policy should be based less on military might and more on human rights and economic stability. Sanders says the U.S. should meet North Korea’s nuclear threat with more sanctions. The senator also argues Trump should remain in the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

UNITED NATIONS (AP) \u2014 China says negotiations offer the “only way out” of the standoff over North Korea’s nuclear program.
