Jamestown (CSi)   Jamestown Tourism’s  Grant/ Executive Board met Thursday at the CSi Technology Center at Historic Franklin School.

The Rough Rider Rodeo Association, and Jamestown Civic Center requested $10,000  toward funding the Rough Rider Finals, in Jamestown scheduled for October 28-30 at the Jamestown Civic Center.

At the meeting Deb Carlson said the rodeo’s economic impact to the Jamestown Community is $948,000.

Participants are from five states and three Canadian provinces.

In 2015 the rodeo performances drew an attendance of 2,000.

The board voted unanimously with voting members Matt Woods, Beth Dewald, and Mitzi Hager to fund the rodeo at $7,500, indicating the rodeo needs bigger support. That’s the same amount approved in 2012.  Civic Center Manager Pan Fosse has said that the event draws a mostly local crowd.

The Jamestown City Council has approved terminating the agreement between the Civic Center and the Rodeo Association, in year five of the seven year agreement, following this year’s event.

Civic Center Manager Pam Fosse said the Civic Center and city are taking a loss in hosting the event the past few years, with last year’s shortfall at $17,000.

The Board voted unanimously to approve the 2017 budget request of $434,550, and return to a percentage model, a budget cut of $70,000.

Board Member Beth Dewald wanted to make it clear that the budget dollars are generated from the Restaurant and Lodging Taxes, and does NOT stem from city property taxes.

In other business, the Board noted that October 13, 2016 at 4-p.m., will be the ribbon cutting to officially launch the Talking Trail program, to be held at Jack Brown Stadium.

The first few signs have been installed at some of the sites, with accompanying recordings.

Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund said  the Tourism web site indicated that  43 inquiries have been made to listen to the recordings  in the first five days of availability.

He added that the World’s Largest Buffalo Monument, continues to receive preparations for repainting.

He said the board will be asked to give input on the shades of paint to be used, noting that a clear coat will be applied to extend  the paint life by five years.

In other business, the Board discussed and amended the Capital Construction process including applications.

Grant guidelines have also been established.

The first round of application must be received by the Tourism Office no later that October 1st this year.  The next round application deadline in March 1, 2017.

Thereafter the application deadlines will be October 1 and March 1.

NEAR THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION, N.D. (AP) — What started in April with a few members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has become one of North Dakota’s newest and biggest communities.

Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people have set up tents and shelters near the confluence of the Missouri and Cannonball rivers, joining tribal members in their fight against the Dakota Access oil pipeline to protect sacred sites and a river that’s a source of water for millions of people.

There’s a school for dozens of children, an increasingly organized system to deliver water and meals and volunteers from the health care sector.

Protesters say they’ll stay on federal land as long as it takes to stop the $3.8 billion, four-state pipeline — even in brutal winter conditions.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Protesters in North Dakota who are being sued by the company developing a four-state oil pipeline say the case should be thrown out of federal court.

Dakota Access LLC filed the complaint against Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II and others, seeking restraining orders and unspecified monetary damages.

Court documents filed Thursday by Bismarck attorney Timothy Purdon, who represents Archambault and Standing Rock Councilman Dana Yellow Fat, say the complaint should be dismissed because it fails to make allegations that would entitle the company to collect damages.

Purdon says a temporary restraining order meant to keep protesters from a construction site violates the U.S. Constitution and a preliminary injunction should not be granted.

Dakota Access spokeswoman Vicki Granado says the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

 

BOTTINEAU, N.D. (AP) — A one-time high school science teacher in Bottineau accused of child sex crimes has been sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation and ordered to serve seven weeks in jail.

Twenty-five-year-old Marissa Deslauriers allegedly had sexual contact with teenage boys. Felony charges were dropped Thursday in exchange four misdemeanor charges for sexual assault.

Deslauriers was arrested late last year and no longer works at the school.

 

 

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Bond has been set at $2 million for man accused in a shooting in Williston that left two men dead.

Northwest Judicial District Judge Paul Jacobson set bond for 32-year-old Lamar Putney Thursday. Putney is charged with two counts of murder in connection with the May 17 shooting.

Putney asked Jacobson to delay setting bond until his lawyer could represent him. Jacobson, however, granted the bond in the amount requested by the prosecutor.

Putney is accused of killing 24-year-old Diandre Lott and 23-year-old Donzell Washington at an apartment complex. The victims died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Police say the shooting happened after Lott and Washington arrived at the suspect’s apartment.

Lott and Washington came to the oil patch from Cleveland.

Putney’s court record does not list a defense attorney. His trial is scheduled for January.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A man who came to Grand Forks from Liberia in 2003 has been recognized by President Obama for his efforts in helping fellow immigrants come to America.

Reggie Tarr was among a group of refugee leaders from around the country invited to a White House ceremony on Thursday. The event is part of Obama’s summit on refugees.

Tarr is the resettlement coordinator of the New American Services program at Lutheran Social Services. He serves on the board for Global Friends Coalition, an organization that helps integrate refugees into new environments.

Tarr has a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of North Dakota.

 

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — Officials with Wahpeton Public Schools would like the district to have a school resource officer who could help handle student safety, facilitate healthy behavior and participate in student education.

Wahpeton’s 2017 budget does not include money for the resource officer. But Superintendent Rick Jacobson says the district is still searching for cost-sharing options to pay for the officer’s salary.

Wahpeton High School principal Ned Clooten says he is seeing more students abusing tobacco and marijuana and believes the officer could help assist addressing the issue.

Clooten currently has to search locker or backpacks, and when he has to pat down a student for suspicion of drugs or tobacco, the school counselor has to assist. That means the counselor has to interrupt her regular duties.

AMERICAN LEAGUE…

DETROIT (AP) — Brian Dozier’s two-run single highlighted a four-run second inning and the Minnesota Twins handed the Detroit Tigers a crucial loss, beating them 5-1 Thursday.

The Tigers were only able to split four games with the lowly Twins, hurting them in the crowded AL wild-card race. Detroit came into the series with a 10-2 record against Minnesota.

Hector Santiago (12-8) got the win, holding the Tigers to one run on six hits.

Mike Pelfrey (4-10) lost in his first major-league appearance since July 31st. He started the game with a 60-pitch limit, but only lasted 36, giving up four runs on five hits.

The Twins took the lead in the second on Max Kepler’s RBI single, and he moved to third when Miguel Cabrera missed a pick-off attempt. Eduardo Escobar singled to make it 2-0.

ORCHARD PARK, New York (AP) — The Buffalo Bills spent halftime of Thursday night’s game retiring jersey No. 78 in honor of NFL all-time sacks leader Bruce Smith, who played 15 of his 19 seasons for the team. Smith was about the only hint of defense put on display by the Bills as they surrendered 493 total yards in a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday.

 

NFL-LAS VEGAS…

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada oversight committee has voted unanimously to recommend $750 million in public funding for a stadium project in Las Vegas, where city officials hope to lure the Raiders from Oakland.

The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee recommended raising the hotel tax in the Las Vegas area to help pay for a 65,000-seat domed venue that would be partially financed by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. Las Vegas has been hammering out the particulars of the Raiders deal for months, but the project still needs approval from the governor, the Legislature and three-quarters of league owners.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) — South Koreans In Gee Chun and Sung Hyun Park share the lead after the first round of the LPGA’s Evian Championship in France, the final major of the year for the women. Each opened with an 8-under-63 that included eight birdies.

American Annie Park shares third place with Shanshan Feng at 7-under, with fellow American Angela Stanford two shots off the lead.

New Zealander Lydia Ko’s bid to defend her title and capture a third career major by the age of 19 got off to a rocky start as she finished seven shots behind the co-leaders.
