Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The Buffalo City Tourism Foundation’s Executive Board met Friday (Mar 15, 2013) at the CSi Technology Center at Historic Franklin School.
The board heard requests from the earlier Grant Advisory Board meeting.
The Executive Board unanimously denied the request from the Frontier Village for a grant of $3,899, an entertainment expenditure for the annual two day Pioneer Days activities.
CORRECTION Charlie Kourajian is not a board member but rather an Ex-Offico member of the city council and thus is not a voting member of the board. He said the BCTF Board needs to make suggestions to the Frontier Village board of new ideas, and said there seems to be a “riff” between the two boards.
BCTF Board member Beth Dewald said the Frontier Village needs more creative events, based on poor attendance at last year’s Pioneer Days activities.
BCTF Board Chairman Aldon Kollman added that the board has approved a significant amount of funding for Frontier Village, and that a new manager this year may come up with new ideas, and Nina Sneider says, the FVB can also reapply for grant funding later.
Grant requests approved by the board include:
$8,250 for advertising an equipment for the Drag Races to be held at Jamestown Regional Airport July 27, 28 this year.
$13,682 for summer staffing of six individuals at the National Buffalo Museum.
$1,680 for boardwalk sealant, and for a sign (cannon information) at $136.61.
Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund’s report included updates on the new web site progress, along with indicating that tourism will reach out for new partnerships in the community, regarding economic impact that tourism has.
Civic Center Manage Pam Fosse told the board that a planners guide is being readied for distribution, and pointed out that the Jehovah’s Witness convention will be coming back to Jamestown over the next 4-5 years. They indicated that Jamestown is centrally located, and noted Jamestown’s hospitality to convention-goers.
The Buffalo City Tourism Board went into closed Executive Session for discussion about the contract negotiations with the City of Jamestown.
The City Council’s Finance and Legal Committee on Tuesday (Mar 19, 2013) will meet in Special Session at 3-p.m. at City Hall to discuss with Buffalo City Tourism, a financing agreement, and entering into an enterprise agreement for financing.
Jamestown, ND (Feb 13 2013) – Daffodil Days deliveries and other sales takes place in the Jamestown area, March 18-22,, 2013.
Community Relations Manager, Mary Dahl, of Fargo says, the Society would like to share that every bouquet of daffodils purchased is appreciated, and that the dollars raised by the event will be used to help the American Cancer Society continue its funding of cancer research, its state and national legislative advocacy, and its many educational and patient service programs.
A portion of the money raised by Daffodil Days in Stutsman County is being used to support Look Good … Feel Better, Reach to Recovery, Patient Lodging Program, and Transportation Assistance, which are very successful and well-utilized programs here in the area.
The money raised locally is also helping to fund the Society’s Cancer Resource Centers. Patients and their families from Jamestown and throughout North Dakota have been visiting these Centers for information and assistance following their diagnosis of cancer.
On Friday’s (Mar 15, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Nellie Degen said, the flowers will be delivered by Jim and Linda Bender to the locations at which the flower were ordered.
On Tuesday March 19th a limited number of daffodils will be able to be purchased at the Buffalo Mall, at the K-Mart entrance.
The products being sold remain the same as the pre-orders: a bunch of 10 daffodils for $10; bunch and a vase for $15; 3 bunches for $25; commemorative Boyd Bear & bunch for $25; Gift of Hope for a Cancer Patient for $25.
For more information, please contact Bill and Nellie Degen at 320-5440 or Jim and Linda Bender at 763-6277.
Ms. Dahl, adds, the Cancer Society’s Flower of Hope, is a sign of renewed life.
She says, Daffodil Days comes at a time of year when a sign of spring is a welcome sight.
She points out that, once again along with the Degen’s and Bender’s, the Jamestown High School National Honor Society, under the supervision of Tammy Mullowney, hosted the event in Jamestown and neighboring communities of Stutsman County.
Don’s House of Flowers is keeping the flowers fresh until they are delivered, on Tuesday beginning at 9:30-a.m.
The Society’s research program is the largest, private, not-for-profit source of funding for cancer research in the United States, second only to the federal government.
46 of the researchers we have financially supported have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. The Society’s funding has also helped play a part in every major research break-through in the past 50 years, including: the Pap Test, mammography, Gleevex, Tamoxifen, Herceptin, Gardacil, the first successful chemotherapy treatment for cancer, and the bone marrow transplant technique.
BISMARCK, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. News Mar 15, 2013) —North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm encourages homeowners and business owners to educate themselves about flood risks and flood insurance.
Property owners should be aware of their flood risk.
Floodplain maps can be found at
www.msc.fema.gov.
Enter your address in the box on the left side of the screen. Floodplain Zone A has the highest risk for flooding; however, 25 percent of all flood insurance claims are paid out to policyholders in lower-risk zones.
Hamm says, “I encourage everyone to learn about the risks of living in a flood plain and how they can protect their property. Property owners in high risk areas may want to consider purchasing flood insurance.”
Flood insurance is offered and underwritten by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Several insurance companies in North Dakota write and service flood policies through the NFIP. Flood insurance policies kick in 30 days after purchase.
Hamm says, “Traditional homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover flooding or sewer back up. Consumers should talk to their insurance agent about their policy’s limits and what other coverage can be purchased separately.”
For more information, contact your insurance agent or the NFIP at 1.800.638.6620 or
www.floodsmart.gov. Consumers are also welcome to call the North Dakota Insurance Department at 1.800.247.0560 or visit www.nd.gov/ndins.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Senate has approved banning abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
If Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signs the measure, North Dakota would have the most restrictive abortion laws in the U.S.
The measure approved by the Senate on Friday would ban most abortions if a fetal heartbeat can be detected. That can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
It’s one of several anti-abortion bills the Legislature has weighed this session.
The Senate on Friday also passed a measure that would make the state the first to ban abortions based on genetic defects such as Down syndrome.
The president and CEO of an abortions right group is calling on North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple to veto a bill that passed the Legislature Friday that would ban abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Nancy Northup is the president and CEO at the Center for Reproductive Rights. She says politicians in North Dakota are leading “anti-choice extremists to see who can do the most to strip women of their dignity and autonomy and endanger their lives.”
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have arrested a 21-year-old Williston man after a bomb scare in the city.

Authorities have not said what type of materials were in the bag. The 21-year-old man was arrested on a charge called criminal attempt, possession of a bomb. He had not yet been formally charged early Friday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota soldier who was wounded in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan that killed two of his comrades is back home in Bismarck recovering and doing administrative work for the National Guard.
Twenty-three-year-old Ian Placek suffered burns to his back, side and a wrist in the blast last Dec. 3, along with an ankle injury that has required two surgeries. He initially was treated at a hospital in Germany and then at Fort Riley in Kansas.
Placek is doing physical therapy on his own in Bismarck. He’s still on crutches and wearing a boot on his injured foot, but he’s working at the National Guard armory for the 68th Troop Command.
Placek says support from family, friends and the military has been phenomenal.

OXON HILL, Md. (AP) – Mitt Romney has told conservative activists gathered near Washington that he’s sorry he won’t be their president — but he’s still promising to work “shoulder-to-shoulder” alongside them. In his first public remarks since the November election, Romney said, “It’s up to us to make sure that we learn from our mistakes, and my mistakes.” But he’s not expected to play a leading role in the future of the Republican party.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – State lawmakers in Maryland have voted to ban capital punishment in the state. Once the Democratic governor signs the measure, Maryland will be the 18th state to abolish the death penalty. Maryland has five men on death row. The governor can commute their sentences to life in prison. The state’s last execution was in 2005.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s state Senate has approved and sent to the governor what would be the most stringent abortion restrictions in the United States. The measure would ban most abortions if a fetal heartbeat can be detected — something that can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The state’s Republican governor generally opposes abortion, but hasn’t said whether he will sign the bill into law.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The increased concern about North Korea is prompting the Obama administration to boost U.S. defenses along the West Coast. Officials say 14 interceptors will be added to a missile defense system based on the coast. They’ll join 30 others in California and Alaska — boosting the system’s ability to shoot down long-range missiles in flight before they can reach U.S. territory.
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) – The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a rabies death in Maryland was caused by an organ transplant. The agency says three other people in Florida, Georgia and Illinois who got organs from the same donor are getting anti-rabies shots.
