\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bismarck police have cited five juveniles in connection with 16 business burglaries in the city.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The burglaries occurred between July and December last year. Authorities say the juveniles stole nearly $54,000 worth of items and caused about $16,600 in damages.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Businesses that were targeted included everything from pawn shops to convenience stores.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hearings eventually will be held to determine if the juveniles will be charged as adults.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A fire at a townhome in West Fargo has displaced five families.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Firefighters were on the scene for more than three hours late Wednesday afternoon. No injuries to people were reported, but firefighters had to revive some cats and dogs that were overcome by smoke. At least two animals were taken to a veterinarian.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say three of the townhome’s units were severely damaged and the other two had smoke damage. The Red Cross and Salvation Army are helping the residents.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cause of the blaze wasn’t immediately determined.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge says he plans to rule in favor of North Dakota’s lone abortion clinic in its challenge to shoot down a 2011 state law that would limit certain abortions.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The lawsuit by the Red River Women’s Clinic says the bill that limits one of two drugs used in medication abortions takes away an important choice for women and is unconstitutional.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Wickham Corwin said Thursday at the end of the civil trial that he’s likely to “ultimately rule that all of the challenge provisions are unconstitutional.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corwin had earlier blocked the law from taking effect.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant Attorney General Doug Anderson says the state would likely appeal the ruling.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot’s tax collections are down compared to the past two years, and construction companies say the long winter is at least partly to blame.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Sales tax collections were expected to be down when compared with last year because of the amount of rebuilding that followed the 2011 floods.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But City Finance Director Cindy Hemphill says that despite the modest projections, the city still hauled in less than officials had expected.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the first quarter of 2013, collections dropped 36 percent from 2012 and more than 12 percent from 2011.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the problem is the long winter, some builders say there’s still time to turn things around this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says a North Dakota Board of Higher Education dinner social at the university system chancellor’s home violated the state’s open meetings law.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem said in a written opinion Thursday that the higher education board failed to provide adequate notice of the Jan. 16 meeting at Chancellor Hamid Shirvani’s home. Stenehjem says minutes of the dinner social also were “inaccurate and did not adequately list the topics discussed at the meeting.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Separately, North Dakota’s Senate on Thursday narrowly defeated a resolution that would have replaced the higher education board with a three-member commission.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The vote was 24-23.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The eight-member higher education board is responsible for hiring the chancellor and overseeing the state’s 11 public universities.\u00a0

UNDERWOOD, N.D. (AP) – A power plant company is considering burying oil field waste in a mostly empty coal ash pit near Underwood.
\n\u00a0
\nGreat River Energy is holding meetings this week with area residents about a possible state permit application to handle up to 300,000 tons of oil field waste annually.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Great River Energy operates the Coal Creek Station plant near Underwood. Spokesman Al Christianson says the company’s board is only studying the project and has not formally applied to the state Health Department to change its waste disposal permit.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Waste Management Director Scott Radig says Great River Energy has submitted a pre-application, which outlines the general concept.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Organizers have canceled this year’s Fargo AirSho in the wake of the decision by the Navy to ground the Blue Angels flying team because of federal budget cuts.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the loss of the headline event was a major factor in canceling the AirSho but there were other reasons, as well. Other branches of the military have cut back on supporting air shows, and the main food vendor for Fargo’s show also suspended operations because of other air shows canceling events.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Fargo AirSho had been scheduled for Aug. 10-11.<\/p>\n

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Slick conditions on state Highway 22 in western North Dakota’s Dunn County on Wednesday led to a series of vehicle crashes involving 13 people.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Highway Patrol Sgt. Dan Haugen tells\u00a0says \u00a0there were no serious injuries, but it took crews three hours to clear the area.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo’s Sandbag Central has reopened for business.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The city is calling on volunteers to fill an additional 500,000 sandbags, to go with the one million bags that were made in early April and 300,000 bags left over from the 2011 flood.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 City officials originally were planning for a 38-foot Red River crest, which is 20 feet above flood stage. That has now been bumped to 41 feet because of above-normal precipitation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The city is using a storage shed for garbage trucks for its sandbag filling operations. Most of the bags are produced by people manning three machines that funnel the sand. Each machine can produce 5,000 bags an hour.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sandbag Central resumed operations Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

BOSTON (AP) – People who were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing have had a visit Thursday from President Barack Obama. After he attended an interfaith church service in honor of the dead and wounded, Obama went to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he met privately with patients, their families and staff. At the church service, Obama vowed to hunt down those responsible for the twin blasts. He said, “You will face justice.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) – A former justice of the peace has been charged with capital murder in the slayings of a North Texas district attorney and his assistant who prosecuted him for theft. Authorities announced today that Eric Williams is charged in the shooting deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, last month, and assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse in January. Williams’ wife was arrested Wednesday and charged with capital murder in the killings. An arrest affidavit alleges she confessed to taking part in the killings and told her investigators her husband was the gunman.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder is telling Congress that he is angered and frustrated over the Senate votes that scuttled gun control legislation. In a hearing before a House panel, the attorney general said that he and the rest of the Obama administration remain committed to standing with the families of victims in the shootings in Newtown, Conn., and countless others who have lost their lives in senseless acts of gun violence. Senate Republicans, backed by a small band of rural-state Democrats, rejected tighter background checks for buyers and a ban on assault weapons.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – It turns out that the information disclosed by a congressman at a House hearing last week about North Korea was supposed to be labeled “classified” — but it wasn’t. That’s according to the director of national intelligence, James Clapper. He told a Senate hearing Thusday that it was supposed to be a secret that North Korea had the know-how to put a nuclear warhead on a missile.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The government’s top aviation official says the public should expect flight delays as furloughs kick in Sunday for air traffic controllers. Michael Huerta heads the Federal Aviation Administration. He says the effects may be felt unevenly across the country, because each airport’s operations are unique. Huerta told a Senate committee the FAA could find no way to make the automatic spending cuts required by Congress without the furloughs.
