The unprecedented precipitation resulted in a significant rise to the West James River basin. The basin flooding resulted in highway inundations in Burleigh, Dickey, Foster, Kidder, Lamoure, Logan, McIntosh, Stutsman, and Wells Counties.<\/strong><\/p>\n Those counties will be receiving approximately $7.52 million to address and repair highway damage from the West James River Basin flood.<\/p>\n Another $2.11 million has been made available to repair damage from the 2019 Sheyenne\/James River Basin flood.<\/p>\n Barnes & Walsh<\/strong> counties will also receive around $573,890.13 to repair damages from that flooding.<\/p>\n Unprecedented flooding in the fall of 2019 resulted in very wet soils, full wetlands, full prairie potholes, and high base stream flows, which combined with recorded historic precipitation levels from September 2019 to early April 2020, and snowpack of 150 to 300 percent of normal levels has led to widespread flooding of state and county roadways during spring runoff.<\/p>\n DOT, says, funds are awarded to North Dakota after President Donald Trump issued a formal emergency declaration. Eligible repair work includes emergency repairs needed to restore essential traffic, minimize the extent of damage, or protect the remaining facilities as well as permanent repairs necessary to restore the highway to its pre-disaster condition.<\/p>\n The funds come after the North Dakota Delegation urged President Trump to declare a disaster for the spring flooding and applauded the Administration for approving Governor Burgum\u2019s disaster declaration.<\/p>\n Brian was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer.<\/p>\n Registration at $20 starting at 10-a.m., from Stutsman Harley-Davidson in Jamestown, with kickstands up at\u00a0 12-noon.\u00a0 A bus will be available for those who would rather not participate in the ride.<\/p>\n The run will end at\u00a0 The Old Town Hall in Ypsilanti, where dinner will be served.<\/p>\n Those not participating in the run are invited to the dinner, at 5-p.m., to support \u201cSquirrel,\u201d through his cancer fight.\u00a0 A free will donation will be accepted at the door.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speakers invited are \u00a0District 24 State Senator Larry Robinson and North Dakota House candidates Naomi Muscha and Bradley Edin.\u00a0 Tickets are $20.

(AP) \u2014 Mercer County\u2019s sheriff plans to plead guilty to driving while intoxicated. A jury trial for Sheriff Dean Danzeisen scheduled for Wednesday has been canceled. Danzeisen was cited for driving under the influence in Bismarck last January. The charge says the sheriff\u2019s blood alcohol content was 0.19, more than twice the legal limit for driving. His defense attorney, Christopher Redmann, says the primary reason for entering the guilty plea was that Danzeisen wanted to avoid involving other law officers in a trial. Redmann says terms of the plea will place Danzeisen on 360 days of unsupervised probation.<\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 North Dakota officials say a voter ID event scheduled on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation was postponed due to the coronavirus, on a day when the state reported 419 new COVID-19 cases and five additional deaths. State Department of Transportation officials have visited several reservations to help tribal members sign up for licenses to become eligible to vote in the Nov. 3 election. A lawsuit settlement in May ended a requirement that tribal residents provide a street address when voting.The reservation, home to the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, is located on parts of McLean, Mountrail, Dunn, McKenzie, Mercer and Ward counties. Those counties accounted for 62 new virus cases and one death in Tuesday\u2019s update.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In sports\u2026<\/p>\n With Barnes County currently in the yellow risk level for COVID-19, VCSU is limited to 250 people in attendance at volleyball matches, said VCSU athletic director Jill DeVries.<\/p>\n Each team will be allowed 40 tickets for parents and family members of their players and coaches. Those fans can sign up for a ticket by contacting their team\u2019s coach.<\/p>\n The remaining seats will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis for VCSU students, VCSU faculty and staff, and VCSU Century Club members. These attendees must have their VCSU ID or Century Club passes to receive admittance.<\/p>\n \u201d<\/p>\n Hauff Mid-America Sports\/GPAC Volleyball Players-of-the-Week<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Attacker \u2013 Taylor Sabinash<\/a>, University of Jamestown (Middle)<\/strong><\/p>\n Jamestown’s Taylor Sabinash<\/a> is this week’s GPAC\/Hauff Mid-America Sports Volleyball Attacker-of-the-Week.
