NEWS OF THE DAY

_1 Opioid addiction: North Dakota tribes are asking state officials for more help to address the opioid epidemic on their reservations. Bruce Gillette, director of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nations’ treatment center in New Town, said the tribes are all doing good work, but they’re doing it in separate places and different directions. He says they could use help in coming together effectively. Duane Silk, director of addiction services for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, says the tribes have lost touch with the state on drug issues over the years, and used to be more involved with addiction treatment.

_2 New Jersey budget: The budget impasse that shuttered government and state parks and beaches for three days ended on the Fourth of July after Republican Gov. Chris Christie signed a deal he and the Democratic Legislature crafted. Christie, who lounged with his family on a beach that was closed to the public over the weekend and was roundly criticized for it, said he was saddened the budget deal had come three days late but he’d sign it right away.

_3 $50 million bond: A municipal court judge in suburban Cleveland set bond at $50 million for a man police say killed his prison pen-pal and her boyfriend weeks after being released from prison in April. Parma police say 42-yearold Thomas Knuff stabbed Regina Capobianco and John Mann to death in May. Officials say they found the decomposed bodies in June, after Capobianco was reported missing by her sister. Municipal Court Judge Deanna O’Donnell set the bond at $25 million for each murder charge, plus a $10,000 bond for a charge of breaking and entering into a hair salon.

_4 Renaming streets: City commissioners in Hollywood, Fla. have agreed to begin the process of changing the names of streets named after Confederate generals in the heart of an African American neighborhood. The Hollywood City Commission voted 5-2 this week to begin renaming Lee Street, named after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee; Hood Street, named after Gen. John Bell Hood, and Forrest Street, named after Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan member Nathan Bedford Forrest. “We must do the right thing and we must do it now,” said Commissioner Debra Case. The current plan calls for Forrest Street to become Savannah Street, Hood Street to become Macon and Lee will be renamed Louisville.

_5 Declaration of Independence: One of the first printed copies of the Declaration of Independence has been put on display at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. The broadside was made by the official printer of the Continental Congress, John Dunlap, in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 to publicize its approval. It is one of 26 known to still be in existence. The document predates the calligraphic version of the Declaration, which was created later and signed by John Hancock and the rest of Congress in August of that year. There is no record of how many copies Dunlap printed.
