Update…<\/p>\n

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) \u2014<\/a>The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 14-year-old girl on a motorized scooter was killed when she crashed into a semi in Dickinson.<\/p>\n

The patrol says the crash happened Monday near an Interstate 94 business loop intersection. Authorities say the girl, 14 year old Isabel Ann O’Brien, failed to yield at a stop sign and struck the semi on the passenger side.<\/p>\n

She was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.\u00a0 She was wearing a helmet.\u00a0 The semi driver, 29 year old Dadren Clark, of Weyanoke, LA, wasn’t hurt.\u00a0 He was wearing a seat belt.<\/p>\n

The crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

Assisting at the scene were, the Dickinson Police Department, The Stark County Sheriff Office,\u00a0 and the\u00a0 Dickinson Fire Department<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Coffee bars selling $3 iced lattes are popping up in high schools, helped along by dairy groups scrambling for new ways to get people to drink milk.<\/p>\n

It’s one small way the dairy industry is fighting to slow the persistent decline in U.S. milk consumption as eating habits change and rival drinks keep popping up on supermarket shelves.<\/p>\n

At a high school in North Dakota<\/strong>, a $5,000 grant from a dairy group helped pay for an espresso machine that makes lattes with about 8 ounces of milk each. The drinks used 530 gallons of milk this year.<\/p>\n

“We buy a lot of milk,” said Lynelle Johnson, the food service director for the Williston Public School District.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear how much coffee drinks in high schools might help boost milk consumption, or whether the concept will gain traction across the country. But with consumption of milk in the U.S. down 40 percent since 1975, the dairy industry is looking for all the help it can get.<\/p>\n

The industry famous for its “Got Milk” advertising campaign is hoping its newer “Undeniably Dairy” slogan will help fend off the almond, oat and soy alternatives that are becoming more popular. And regional dairy groups are encouraging schools to serve milky drinks like smoothies and hot chocolate, as well as iced lattes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The Three Affiliated Tribes have been granted trust status for the historic Figure Four Ranch.<\/p>\n

The tribes bought the roughly 9,300-acre ranch that borders the reservation’s west side between Lake Sakakawea and the Little Missouri River in 1999, and converted it to a bison ranch.<\/p>\n

They requested trust status nearly a decade ago, a move that would make the land tax-exempt. The Bismarck Tribune reports it wasn’t approved until May, with a deed-signing ceremony this week. The federal government attributed the delay to red tape.<\/p>\n

Chairman Mark Fox said the change will allow the tribes to move ahead with energy development. Tribal officials also hope to develop tourism at the ranch, with expanded buffalo and elk hunting and the possible building of a hotel or resort.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The new chairman of the North Dakota Board of Higher education says one of his goals is to help address succession planning of college and university presidents.<\/p>\n

The search for a new president at the University of North Dakota is the fifth one since Nick Hacker was named to the board in 2015. He says he would like to see shorter and more efficient searches.<\/p>\n

Hacker, whose first official day as chairman was Monday, says the state also needs to work at retaining talented faculty and staff. He said that higher education is facing a workforce shortage like the rest of the state and it’s vitally important to retain professors and others.<\/p>\n

Hacker runs the state’s largest title insurance and real estate closing company with 100 employees in 10 locations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 One of the first tasks facing the North Dakota Board of Higher Education in Nick Hacker’s term as chairman is finding a new president at the University of North Dakota. Hacker would rather the process not turn into a major ordeal.<\/p>\n

Hacker, a former Republican state senator, said one of his goals as board leader will be to help address the turnover of school presidents. The search for a new UND president is the fifth since Hacker was named to the board in 2015 and almost all of them have been time-consuming.<\/p>\n

“Do we always have to need a big search?” Hacker asked in a phone interview Monday, his first official day as board chairman. “Succession planning for presidents is a real challenge. It’s something we desperately need to be doing.”<\/p>\n

The university system announced a search committee last week to find a replacement for UND’s Mark Kennedy, who left for the University of Colorado after three years. Dr. Joshua Wynn, dean of the UND medical school since 2010, has been serving as interim president.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A House committee has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking President Donald Trump’s tax returns.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by the Ways and Means Committee against the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n

The committee says it doesn’t have to explain its reasons for seeking Trump’s tax return information. It says the administration has defied a subpoena for the documents “in order to shield President Trump’s tax return information from Congressional scrutiny.”<\/p>\n

The committee says it’s investigating tax law compliance by the president, among other things.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus has released video and photos of migrant women being held at a border facility in Texas.<\/p>\n

Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro posted the images after touring a station in El Paso. Women held at the facility were “crammed into a prison-like cell with one toilet, but no running water to drink from or wash their hands,” Castro tweeted. Some had been separated from their children and held for more than 50 days, he said.<\/p>\n

Castro said the women asked lawmakers to take down their names, shown in the video, to “let everyone know they need help.” He said the women feared retribution.<\/p>\n

Officials had asked lawmakers touring the facility to leave their cell phones behind. After the visit, Democrats decried the conditions inside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 The Russian military says that a fire on one of its deep-sea submersibles has killed 14 sailors.<\/p>\n

The Defense Ministry says that the blaze erupted Monday while the vessel was performing tests in Russia’s territorial waters.<\/p>\n

The ministry said in a statement Tuesday that the fire was extinguished thanks to the crew’s self-sacrifice.<\/p>\n

It added that the submersible is now at the Arctic port of Severomorsk, the main base of Russia’s Northern Fleet. An official investigation has started.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 Ursula von der Leyen, a surprise choice to become the next head of the European Union’s executive Commission, is a strong supporter of closer European cooperation who has been Germany’s defense minister since 2013 and a fixture in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet over the longtime leader’s nearly 14 years in power.<\/p>\n

Von der Leyen, 60, was born in Brussels and spent her early years in the Belgian capital. She speaks fluent English and French, having studied at the London School of Economics in the 1970s and lived in Stanford, California from 1992 to 1996.<\/p>\n

She was long viewed as a potential successor to Merkel, but has had a tough tenure at the head of the notoriously difficult defense ministry and had long since faded out of contention by the time Merkel stepped down last year as leader of her center-right Christian Democratic Union party.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is promising military tanks along with “Incredible Flyovers & biggest ever Fireworks!” for the Fourth of July in Washington.<\/p>\n

But the District of Columbia’s government’s says “Tanks, but no tanks.” Others say Trump will politicize the festivities.<\/p>\n

Trump said Monday that tanks will be part of a special event he’s headlining Thursday to honor the military. An Associated Press photographer found at least two tanks and other military vehicles on flatcars in a railyard in southeast Washington.<\/p>\n

Trump tweeted Tuesday: “Big 4th of July in D.C. ‘Salute to America.’ The Pentagon & our great Military Leaders are thrilled to be doing this & showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced Military anywhere in the World. Incredible Flyovers & biggest ever Fireworks!”<\/p>\n
