Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Arts Center informs the public that the Jamestown Arbor Day Celebration is set for Tuesday September 13, 2016, from 3-p.m., to 5-p.m. at Hansen Arts Park in Downtown Jamestown.

National Arbor Day is always celebrated on the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates throughout the year based on best tree planting times.

Fall is a great time to plant a tree in ND so we are commemorating the Arbor Day symbolically with the planting of several trees in the Hansen Arts Park.

Fun for the entire family include nature inspired art activities, music by Two Rivers Performing Arts School and a perennial swap.

The Arts Center is working with the Sheri Steckler, the Jamestown City Forester, who wanted to involve the entire community in the annual celebration of the role of trees in our lives.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Schools throughout Bismarck have seen an increase in students enrolled this year.

The Bismarck Tribune reports the city’s 16 elementary schools gained hundreds of new students, partly because the school district closed an elementary at the end of last academic year. The middle and high schools saw the most growth.

Simle Middle School gained the most new students at the middle school level at 78, bringing its total enrollment to 1,031, nearly 200 students over capacity.

Principal Russ Riehl says the school hired two full-time equivalent teachers because of the growth. Riehl says Simle has seen has seen an influx of English-language learners in past years, including this year. There are about five or six languages spoken at the school.

The Bismarck School Board will determine later this year whether to hold an election to address school space needs.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Bismarck Public Library is creating an area that is just for teenagers.

The area will allow teenagers to socialize, do homework and try new technology. Construction for the new space began this summer and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Library director Christine Kujawa says about 600 teenagers responded to a survey asking about the programs, technology, furniture and materials they wanted to see at the library. She says the plans for the new center were based on the feedback from the teenagers.

A total of $350,000 was raised for the project. A new fireplace and windows have already been installed. New furniture, including booths, desks and lounge chairs, will be added later. Student art will also be displayed.

 

ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) — The city of Alexander is completing some school renovations, adding to the large number of districts along the Montana-North Dakota border that are opening or refurbishing schools.

Superintendent Leslie Bieber says  moving into the classrooms was challenging because the district only had five days to move into the entire building before the first day of classes.

Crews removed asbestos from the structure and doubled the building’s square footage. The expansion added a new gym, a wrestling room and a brand new cafeteria, as well as new classrooms, classroom amenities and community workout facilities.

Bieber says every room in the building was completely remodeled and that there is no area that looks the same as it did before the renovation.

 

NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — The Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College in New Town has received a $500,000 federal grant to create a new associates degree.

U.S. Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp say the grant will help the college develop an associate of science degree in sustainable energy technologies. The National Science Foundation awarded the grant.

Part of the grant is also meant to raise the community’s awareness about opportunities on the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

Hoeven says the grant will help the college recruit more students from the Three Affiliated Tribes “to help grow the number of STEM workers in the community where there is a growing number of energy related jobs.”

The Fort Berthold Reservation, where the college is located, produces about 20 percent of the state’s daily oil output.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court says 63 percent of applicants passed the bar exam this year, that’s a lower rate compared to the 69 percent pass rate of 2015.

A total of 71 applicants sat for the two-day North Dakota exam in July and 45 of them passed.

Seventy-three percent of those taking the state’s exam for the first time passed, compared to 79 percent a year ago.

The court says 73 percent of first-time applicants who graduated from the University of North Dakota School of Law passed the exam. That rate was 76 percent in 2015.

 

In sports…

Jamestown  (CSi)   An informational meeting for players interested in playing boys hockey for Jamestown High School is scheduled for Tuesday September 13, 2016, at 7:30 –  p.m. at Wilson Arena.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Special hunting seasons for youth get underway in North Dakota later this week.

The state Game and Fish Department says a 9 ½-day deer hunting season for youth ages 12-15 starts Friday at noon. Each youth hunter must be licensed and under the direct supervision of an adult while in the field.

North Dakota’s two-day youth waterfowl season is this coming weekend. Legally licensed resident and nonresident hunters age 15 and younger may hunt ducks, geese, coots and mergansers statewide.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Eric Kendricks returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter and Danielle Hunter scored a 24-yard TD off a fumble return and the Minnesota Vikings beat the Tennessee Titans 25-16 in their season opener Sunday.

The Vikings wound up forcing three turnovers in the span of just under seven minutes and also had two sacks.

The defending NFC North champs needed the help from their defense in scoring 25 straight points after being shut out in the first half and Adrian Peterson, the NFL’s 2015 rushing leader, being smothered.

 

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz had 278 yards passing and two touchdowns in a stellar NFL debut and the Philadelphia Eagles beat Robert Griffin the Third and the Cleveland Browns 29-10 on Sunday.

Promoted from Number 3 quarterback to starter just eight days ago, the 2nd overall pick from North Dakota State looked like a franchise player. Wentz played mistake-free football despite missing the last three preseason games with injured ribs. He finished 22 of 37 with a 101.0 passer rating.

A new quarterback and new coach couldn’t help the Browns (0-1) avoid losing their opener for the 12th straight season.

 

The Packers were 27-23 winners at Jacksonville as Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score. Rodgers completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards, with second-quarter TD passes to Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. Jaguars QB Blake Bortles was 24 of 39 for 320 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

U.S. OPEN…

NEW YORK (AP) — Stan Wawrinka (vah-VRIHN’-kuh) has become the oldest U.S. Open men’s champion in 46 years.

The third-seeded Wawrinka wore down Novak Djokovic (JOH’-koh-vihch) and knocked off the defending champion 6-7, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. Wawrinka had dropped 19 of his previous 23 meetings with Djokovic before capturing his first U.S. Open crown and third Grand Slam title. All three of his major championships have been highlighted by victories against Djokovic, including the 2014 Australian Open quarterfinals and last year’s French Open final.

The 31-year-old Wawrinka is the oldest U.S. Open men’s champion since Ken Rosewall was 35 in 1970.

 

T25-POLL…

UNDATED (AP) — Alabama remains the No. 1 team in The Associated Press football poll following the Crimson Tide’s 38-10 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.

The Tide picked up 56 of 61 first-place votes and will carry a 2-0 record into next weekend’s SEC opener against Mississippi. Florida State received four first-place votes to move up a notch to second, followed by Ohio State and Michigan. Clemson dropped three places to fifth after a close call against Troy.

Houston is sixth, followed by Stanford, Washington, Wisconsin and Louisville.

Georgia dropped from ninth to 16th after beating FCS Nicholls by just 26-24. Oklahoma State fell out of the poll following its controversial loss to Central Michigan, a setback in which the officials erroneously gave the ball to the Chippewas on what became a game-winning final play.

 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-OFFICIALS…

UNDATED — The officials who worked Saturday’s Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game have been suspended. The Mid-American Conference says the eight-man officiating crew that botched the end of the game has been suspended for two games, and the Big 12 has announced that the two-person video replay crew that worked the same game has also has been suspended for two games.

Officials mistakenly gave Central Michigan an untimed final play from midfield after Oklahoma State was penalized for intentional grounding while trying to run off the last four seconds of the fourth quarter with a three-point lead.

On that play, the Chippewas scored a touchdown on a long pass and lateral to win 30-27.

 

PGA-BMW CHAMPIONSHIP

 

CARMEL, Ind. (AP) — Reigning U.S. champion Dustin Johnson now owns the lead in the FedEx Cup points race after winning the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick.

Johnson closed with a 5-under 67 for a 23-under total in his third victory in his last eight tournaments. He saw a four-stroke lead vanish before he answered with consecutive birdies on the back nine.

Paul Casey finished three shots back and three ahead of Roberto Castro.
