\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The \u00a0Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors has approved submitting \u00a0an application for a $68,750 federal government Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan designed to aid non-profit organizations that face economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JSDC Business Development Director, Corry Shevlin said,\u00a0 if approved, the money would be provided as a one percent loan. The Repayment of the loan may be waived in the future.<\/p>\n

He added that the Board \u00a0of Directors has approved the preliminary 2022 budget of about $50,000 less than the 2021 budget. \u00a0\u00a0The budget decrease stems for the most part from combining an administrative assistant position with the financial director position. That, according to JSDC, CEO, Connie Ova.<\/p>\n

In other business, the JSDC Board \u00a0approved funding for the program to share costs with businesses hiring interns in the coming year, \u00a0funded at $105,000, which will be further reviewed.<\/p>\n

Corry added that the JSDC Board of Directors approved returning to in-person meetings starting \u00a0April 12 this year. \u00a0He said, the meetings will be initially held at the Quality Inn and Suites to observe social distancing. The JSDC plans hold its annual meeting May 19 at\u00a0 Quality Inn and Suites.<\/p>\n

The chamber honors individuals who demonstrate a consistent commitment to delivering products or services that satisfy customers by exceeding their requirements or expectations.<\/p>\n

His nomination said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am 77 years old and walk with a cane. I needed a copy of the bill of the money I spent on eye glasses. It is hard to get around. I needed the copy to turn into social services. This young man left his work to personally bring the copy<\/p>\n

to my home instead of putting it in the mail. I have never known such kindness from a business before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Jamestown (Courtesy of Jmst Chamber) \u2013 Jamestown\u2019s Sensory Garden Taskforce is planning a spring installation of a new seating area near the sensory garden\u2019s water feature.\u00a0 Currently, the water feature\u2019s seating area is in the sensory garden, at the end of the boardwalk.<\/p>\n

Paulette Ritter, Co-chair of the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Beautification Committee,\u00a0 says, \u201cWith the construction of the water feature, we realized we needed a seating area on the west side of the water feature.”\u00a0 Paulette is one of the members of the Sensory Garden\u2019s taskforce.<\/p>\n

The news release goes on the say, hearing the soft sound of the water falling, we thought three new benches directly off the main walking path would be a nice addition to the garden.\u00a0\u00a0 We turned to the Jamestown Vo-tech Center for the construction of these three benches as over the years students from these classes designed and built the first five benches and the 32 planters in the garden.\u00a0 A few years ago, Bob Thoresen, the Vo-tech Center instructor, even brought his students over to the garden so that they could do some repair work on the two bridges that lead into the garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug Hogan, Jamestown Park and Recreation Director, adds, \u201cHaving these new benches directly off the main walking path will give Solien-Denault park walkers a great place to rest and enjoy the new water feature.\u00a0 We have received so many compliments about the sensory garden.\u00a0 It is exciting to see it expand once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Martin, Co-chair of the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Beautification Committee, says, \u201cWe are extremely grateful to Mr. Thoresen for all of his help and support these past years.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cMr. Thoresen has helped make this garden a community collaboration.\u00a0 The benches are built and ready for a spring installation.\u00a0 Now, we just need spring to come and stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota law enforcement agencies are urging state lawmakers to support a bill that would enact harsher penalties for drug traffickers if a death results from the sale of their drugs. Police chiefs and law enforcement associations told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that stiffer penalties are needed, especially as such fatalities mount across the state. The proposed legislation would make it a Class A felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison for someone convicted of trafficking drugs that cause a death. The current penalty is a lower felony charge punishable by up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

\"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Senate has sent a wind power regulation bill to Gov. Doug Burgum\u2019s desk for his signature. The legislation allows the Public Service Commission to waive a requirement that wind farms install technology to mitigate the red lights on top of the turbines that blink all night. The Minot Air Base had expressed concerns about the technology because it flies hundreds of helicopter missions each year to intercontinental ballistic missile sites, some near the turbines. The military, in part, was concerned the blinking lights could tip off an enemy to a helicopter\u2019s location if the country would come under attack.<\/p>\n

\"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Republican leaders in southwestern North Dakota say they are waiting to see whether an expelled lawmaker from their district will sue before they appoint a replacement. The North Dakota House last week removed Republican Rep. Luke Simons, of Dickinson, over sexual harassment allegations they said stretched back to soon after he took office in 2017. Simons has denied any misconduct and retained an attorney. District 36 Republican Chairman John Enderle told reporters that appointing a state representative to replace Simons is \u201cup to Luke,\u201d referring to any action the lawmaker might take in an effort to retain his seat. The Bismarck Tribune reports that Enderle called the expulsion an \u201catrocity\u201d and \u201ckangaroo court.”<\/p>\n
