Operated by Ringdahl EMS, they employ men and women of all ages and backgrounds. During this time and all times, they stand at the ready to respond to an emergency situation while ensuring they and those they serve remain in the best care. Their innovation allows them to go above and beyond again and again. When they&#8217;re not busy saving lives, they&#8217;re helping people in different ways including public safety messages, job fairs, and street fairs such as the Block Party. These reasons all justify why the Jamestown Area Ambulance and employees should be recognized as the Business of the Month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Young Professionals of Jamestown honor businesses that provide superior customer service, exhibit community spirit and provide a positive economic impact to the community.\u00a0 This award provides recognition throughout the month with a plaque and a recognition banner for the month.

These state grants are critical in maintaining the needed infrastructure to support the aviation industry, which is a major contributor to the state\u2019s economy and standard of living.<\/p>\n<p>Jamestown Regional Airport received $28,409.09 that will be used to help upgrade the windsock, purchase a mower and a forklift, and 2013 Airport Layout Plan &amp; Master Plan update.<\/p>\n<p>141 individual projects received grant awards at 55 different public-use airports throughout the state. $7 million of the allocation is being made as a part of a $20 million-dollar transfer that the state legislature approved in the last legislative session from the Strategic Investment and Improvement Fund (SIIF) to provide assistance with the large-scale projects that are ongoing at both the Watford City Airport and the Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota\u2019s airports have recently seen a significant impact in travel demand due to the COVID-19 virus. The dramatic drop in passengers, has in turn, created financial concerns for airports that depend on passengers for revenue. The recently passed CARES Act is expected to provide North Dakota\u2019s airports with up to $85 million dollars of federal assistance to help provide relief during these difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota Aeronautics Commission Director, Kyle Wanner says,\u201cThese state airport grant allocations will help to leverage and supplement the federal funding being received for high priority airport projects within North Dakota while at the same time ensuring that our statewide aviation system is being maintained. These grants will also help to create jobs within our communities and will greatly assist our airports in preparing them to be in a better position to help our economy rebound, once the COVID-19 virus concerns have subsided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bismarck\u00a0 (NDDOT)\u00a0 Effective 3:00 p.m. Thursday, June 11, load restrictions are lifted on ND Highway 20, 11 miles north of Jct.

Stenehjem\u2019s office started an investigation into California-based Students Loan Services, LLC, after receiving a complaint from a woman who had paid the company almost $900 and did not see any reduction in her debt. In the course of securing a refund for the woman, investigators determined that the company was not licensed in North Dakota. The company had contracts with 18 North Dakota residents.

Doug Burgum Thursday announced Olympic gold medalists and equity advocates Monique Lamoureux-Morando and Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson as the 45th and 46th recipients of the North Dakota Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award, the state\u2019s highest commendation for its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Lamoureux twins, as they are commonly known, rose to national and international prominence as members of the gold medal-winning 2018 U.S. Olympic Women\u2019s Ice Hockey Team. During the final women\u2019s hockey game of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, Lamoureux-Morando scored the game tying goal, and Lamoureux-Davidson scored the game-winning shootout goal to ultimately win the gold medal for Team USA against Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to their exceptional high school, college and professional hockey careers, the Lamoureux twins have become powerful advocates for equity, diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Burgum said, \u201dFrom backyard hockey in Grand Forks to the world\u2019s biggest stage, Monique and Jocelyne reached the pinnacle of women\u2019s hockey and delivered two of the most exciting moments in our state\u2019s sporting history, becoming the first North Dakota athletes to bring home Olympic gold and inspiring countless North Dakotans and young athletes everywhere with their incredible skill, competitiveness and sportsmanship. Off the ice, their dedication to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion and improving access for disadvantaged youth will have a lasting impact in North Dakota and beyond. For their exceptional representation of our state, both as individuals and teammates, they are wholly deserving of the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lamoureux-Morando said. \u201cJocelyne and I are tremendously honored to be chosen as recipients of the Rough Rider Award.\u00a0 We are proud North Dakotans who were taught from a young age to work hard and be kind. Now, more than ever, do those words ring true. We hope to continue our advocacy for those who are less fortunate and to level the playing field so all kids have an opportunity to reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lifelong residents of Grand Forks, the Lamoureux twins were valued members of the University of North Dakota\u2019s Women\u2019s Hockey Team after transferring from the University of Minnesota in 2009. In 2010, the Lamoureux twins played in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, winning silver medals as members of U.S. Olympic Women\u2019s Ice Hockey Team. They again played on the silver medal-winning team in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Lamoureux twins became leaders in USA Women\u2019s National Team members\u2019 fight for fair and equal treatment by USA Hockey. Their efforts have focused on equitable treatment compared to the men\u2019s hockey team, increased funding for girls\u2019 youth hockey programs and more equitable training and marketing support for women\u2019s hockey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the Lamoureux twins again played on the U.S. Olympic Women\u2019s Ice Hockey Team in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. During the final game, the U.S. team won the gold medal for the first time in 20 years over Canada. Crucial members of the team, the Lamoureux twins each contributed game-changing moments. Monique Lamoureux-Morando scored the game-tying goal, and Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson scored the game-winning shootout goal to ultimately win the gold medal for Team USA. In addition to the game-winning goal, Jocelyne scored two goals six seconds apart during the 2018 Olympic Games, setting the current Olympic record for shortest time between goals by any player, man or woman.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Lamoureux twins have used their platform as gold medalists to continue promoting gender equity and increased access for disadvantaged youth. They formed the Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux Foundation in July 2019 to work with groups supporting disadvantaged children through education and extracurricular activities, primarily in North Dakota. The foundation is an extension of the sisters&#8217; hockey camps for girls and their work with cable and internet provider Comcast, where the twins promote such things as gender equity and internet access for low-income families.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lamoureux-Davidson said, \u201cIf this journey were only about winning medals and hockey games, our impact would have ended on the ice.\u00a0 We have been blessed with a platform to make a difference beyond the rink. Monique and I are honored with the acknowledgment of this award that includes our impact beyond the scoreboard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award recognizes present and former North Dakotans who have been influenced by the state in achieving national recognition in their fields of endeavor, thereby reflecting credit and honor upon North Dakota and its citizens. Established during the 1961 Dakota Territory Centennial, the award was initially given as an honorary rank of Colonel in the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Riders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At age 30, Lamoureux-Davidson is the second-youngest recipient of the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award and Lamoureux-Morando is the third-youngest recipient. The youngest recipient was Major League Baseball home run king Roger Maris at age 29.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The award will be presented later this year to Lamoureux-Morando and Lamoureux-Davidson in person at a date and location to be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) \u2014 Golf is the second major sport in the U.S., behind motor sports, to resume a schedule shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The start was even more quiet than usual on the PGA Tour, only the silence never left over the next 12 hours as golf was back to business at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial.

Tom Lehman, a 61-year-old former champion at Colonial, got in on the act with a 65.<\/p>\n<p>Sung Kang made a hole-in-one on the 13th hole and didn&#8217;t realize it until he was 50 yards from the green.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Palmer, a Colonial member who raised money for COVID-19 relief efforts during the shutdown, was chosen to hit the first official shot on the PGA Tour in three months.

It plans to \u201cwork collaboratively with NFL players to support programs to address criminal justice reform, police reforms, and economic and educational advancement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There has been increasing distrust of the NFL since San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest social injustice and police brutality. The message was misconstrued by the league and many team owners as anti-military and anti-flag.<\/p>\n<p>That distrust was expressed Wednesday by 49ers star cornerback Richard Sherman who says the league needs to do more than \u201cthrow money\u201d and should be \u201ccalling out bigotry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NFL-SEAHAWKS-CARROLL<\/p>\n<p>Pete Carroll expresses regret for not signing Kaepernick<\/p>\n<p>RENTON, Wash. (AP) \u2014 Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll revisited the team\u2019s history with Colin Kaepernick on Thursday and expressed regret for not signing Kaepernick when given the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle brought Kaepernick in for a workout during the 2017 offseason and had another visit a year later canceled. At that time, Carroll said Seattle chose not to bring Kaepernick aboard because he was viewed as a starter, not a backup.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll is reiterating that stance but says that in hindsight, he wishes he would have given Kaepernick a shot even if it meant a potentially awkward role as Russell Wilson&#8217;s backup. Carroll indicated that he believed Seattle passing on Kaepernick gave him a shot to be a starter elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle is believed to be the only team to have brought Kaepernick in for meetings and a workout since he last played in the league in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>VIRUS OUTBREAK-SPORTS<\/p>\n<p>NHL camps to open July 10 pending deal to resume<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 NHL training camps will open July 10 if the league and players\u2019 union can reach an agreement to resume the season. Setting the date gives the 17% of players overseas time to make arrangements to return in light of U.S. and Canada quarantine regulations. The league and NHLPA said the July 10 start of camps is pending medical and safety conditions and agreeing on getting back to games.<\/p>\n<p>Camps are expected to run two to three weeks with games taking place in two \u201chub\u201d cities without fans. If the league and players finalize a deal to return, games could resume in early August.<\/p>\n<p>In other developments related to the coronavirus pandemic:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The PGA Tour Champions Boeing Classic scheduled to be held in August outside Seattle has been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament director says uncertainty about the ability to hold large public gatherings in Washington state led to the decision. The tournament was scheduled for Aug. 17-23 at The Club at Snoqualmie (snoh-KWALM&#8217;-ee) Ridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The NFL has extended virtual offseason programs for teams through June 26. Although team facilities have opened for key personnel, coaches and players rehabilitating injuries, healthy players have been barred from those complexes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remote programs have taken the place of on-site work, and some teams already have announced they are shutting those down. But the league said Thursday it will allow the virtual work for an additional 15 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 English Premier League players won\u2019t need to wear face masks arriving at stadiums, in dressing rooms or on the substitutes&#8217; bench when the competition&#8217;s 100-day coronavirus shutdown ends next week. Clubs agreed Thursday on matchday protocols that include splitting stadiums into red, amber and green zones to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Games will be played without fans so access to stadiums will be limited to around 300 people who will have their temperatures checked on arrival. The season is scheduled to resume on Wednesday with Aston Villa hosting Sheffield United and Arsenal playing at Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Formula One races in Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japan have been canceled because of issues arising from the coronavirus pandemic. The sport\u2019s governing body says it still hopes to deliver up to 18 races in the rearranged 2020 season. The first eight have already been confirmed and they start with a double-header in Austria in early July. The races in Azerbaijan and Singapore use street circuits and require long lead times to construct them. The Japanese Grand Prix was canceled because of ongoing travel restrictions during the pandemic. That was scheduled for Oct. 11.<\/p>\n<p>MLB-DRAFT-DAY 2<\/p>\n<p>Tigers load up with more college bats on Day 2 of MLB draft<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The Detroit Tigers took a few more big swings at rebuilding their lineup.<\/p>\n<p>And, they hope sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting Arizona State slugger Spencer Torkelson to open the Major League Baseball amateur draft Wednesday night, the Tigers used all five of their picks Thursday on hitters they envision joining him in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio State catcher Dillon Dingler led off the draft&#8217;s second day as the No. 38 overall selection. The Tigers then took LSU outfielder Danny Cabrera 62nd overall, and Rice shortstop Trei Cruz 11 picks later. Cruz is the son of former big leaguer Jose Cruz Jr. and grandson of Jose Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit went back to Arizona State in the fourth round, taking Torkelson&#8217;s switch-hitting teammate Gage Workman.
