Bismarck (CSi) On June 6th, 2019, the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission finalized approximately $3.5 million in infrastructure grant allocations to multiple public airports throughout the state. The individual awards are noted on the attached listings which show 165 individual projects received grant awards at 58 different public-use airports throughout the state.
Jamestown Regional Airport received grants for terminal apron reconstruction, in the amount of $55,555, $3,000 for other repairs, and $15,950, for terminal apron lighting.
Additionally, the Aeronautics Commission also provided aviation education grants as follows:
- $7,930 to the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot for equipment to promote Unmanned Aerial System technology programming to K-12 students.
- $11,895 to the Missouri River Area Career and Technical Center to help purchase aviation simulator and computer equipment to enhance rural North Dakota high school aviation programs.
The revenue source for these grants is derived primarily from state tax collections on aviation fuel and aircraft sales. A majority of these grant allocations will also match federal grants that are anticipated to be received for 2019 airport projects. These state grants are critical in maintaining the needed infrastructure to support the aviation industry, which is a major contributor to the state’s economy.
Update…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police say a man who started a fire that caused heavy damage at a Bismarck apartment building left a backpack at the scene that contained lighter fluid and a lighter.
A court affidavit says police also found a lighter in the man’s pants pocket when he was arrested and two blisters on the palm of one hand. Forty-five-year-old Eduardo Rodriguez is charged with criminal mischief, criminal trespass and arson. He’s due in court Thursday. Court records do not list an attorney.
All residents of the 24-unit building made it out safely when the fire broke out about 4 a.m. Wednesday.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The amount of water being released into the lower Missouri River from upstream dams will remain at a high level for several months because of recent heavy rain and remaining snowpack.
The Army Corps of Engineers says it expects water releases from reservoirs on the Missouri to be above average through the summer and possibly until November.
The Corps says that for now it’s maintaining the amount of water that’s being released from Gavins Point Dam on the Nebraska-South Dakota border at 75,000 cubic feet (2,124 cubic meters) per second. The Corps’ John Remus says that’s more than twice the average release of water for this time of year.
That may worsen flooding downstream, where many levees have been damaged due to recent high water.

CAEN, France (AP) — France wants the D-Day commemoration to showcase its long friendship with the United States.
But relations are strained as President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron prepare to meet on the sidelines of the 75th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy.
Trump and Macron enjoy putting on a show of exaggerated handshakes, warm kisses and taps on the back, but they disagree on key issues, including climate change, Iran and world trade.
But Macron’s office insists the two leaders get along even when they disagree.
Trump and Macron will have bilateral talks in Caen following a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery, near Omaha Beach, where the Americans landed.
Security, the fight against terrorism, the situation in the Middle East and trade policies are on the meeting’s agenda.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Straining to stave off threatened U.S. tariffs, Mexican and American officials are claiming progress in White House talks. But President Donald Trump declared it was “not nearly enough” to halt the import taxes he is holding out as a way to force Mexico to stanch the flow of illegal migrants at America’s southern border.
Talks were to resume Thursday.
Underscoring the scope of the border problem, the Department of Homeland Security announced separately that U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions of migrants illegally crossing the border hit the highest level in more than a decade in May.
Without a deal, the first tariffs are to go into effect next Monday. They would consist of 5% taxes on imports from Mexico, eventually increasing to 25%.
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — West Point officials say the military training vehicle that overturned, killing one and injuring more than a dozen, was being driven by a soldier on rough terrain.
Authorities say 22 people were injured in the vehicle when it flipped over on a dirt road early Thursday morning.
Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams said Thursday afternoon during a news conference that other injuries sustained in the accident are not considered life-threatening.
Williams said the cadets were being transported to a land navigation site for training, near Camp Natural Bridge.
He said the cadets are seniors at the U.S. Military Academy. Williams had no information on the cause of the accident or the name of the cadet who died.
CHICAGO (AP) — Singer R. Kelly is expected to plead not guilty to 11 new sex-related felonies at his Cook County arraignment.
Thursday’s hearing in Chicago comes a week after prosecutors announced the new counts, including four aggravated criminal sexual assault ones. Each carries a maximum prison term of 30 years.
Kelly pleaded not guilty in February to 10 related counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving three girls and one woman over roughly 10 years starting in the late 1990s.
The judge could revoke his bond and order him jailed pending trial. But legal experts say that’s highly unlikely.
Kelly’s lawyer, Steve Greenberg, has said the accuser in the new charges is one of the four accusers in the February charges. Even with more charges, he has said Kelly still expects to prevail at trial.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — A Texas couple that accused top U.S. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of mishandling a sexual misconduct case says his office is treating them the way the church treats other victims — by trying to discredit their story.
DiNardo’s Galveston-Houston diocese has said that it “categorically rejects” an Associated Press story about the case as biased and one-sided, and that the couple fabricated quotes and demanded a $10 million payout. George Pontikes, the leader of a construction firm, said he stands by his comments.
Laura Pontikes had accused DiNardo’s former deputy of manipulating her into a sexual relationship, even as he heard her confessions, gave counseling on their marriage to her husband and solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from the couple. Pontikes said the deputy took sexual and financial advantage of problems in her marriage and the business the couple share.
CHICAGO (AP) — A rising share of older Americans is forgoing the concept of a traditional retirement at the age of 65, a trend that some younger workers aren’t particularly thrilled to see.
A poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds workers under 50 were significantly more likely to view America’s aging workforce as a negative development compared with their older counterparts. About 4 in 10 respondents ages 18 to 49 say they consider the trend a bad thing for American workers. Just 14% of those age 60 and over said the same.
America’s workforce is graying. Government statistics show nearly 20% of Americans over the age of 65 were employed or actively looking for work last year, up from less than 12% two decades prior.
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — A Sudan Health Ministry official says 61 people have been killed across the country since the military launched a deadly crackdown on protesters earlier this week, disputing the death toll of 108 announced earlier by protesters.
Undersecretary of Health Soliman Abdel Gabbar also told reporters in a news conference Thursday that 52 people have been killed in the capital Khartoum over the last three days and two corpses have been pulled from the Nile River in Khartoum.
On Wednesday, the Sudanese Doctors’ Central Committee, a group associated with protesters, said 40 bodies had been retrieved from the Nile with reports of possibly dozens more.
Since Monday’s violent dispersal of the protest sit-in outside the military headquarters in Khartoum, violent clashes have erupted in several parts of the capital and across the country.
