Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jul 10, 2013) — At a special meeting Tuesday evening, (Jul 9, 2013) at the All Vets Club, in Jamestown, no “concrete” suggestions were offered to keep the Club open.
The meeting was called by Vets Club Chairman, LeRoy Wegenast.
He says, about 75 individuals attended Tuesday’s meeting, which included members of local veterans organization and auxiliaries, along with Vets Club employees, and patrons, and community members.
Wegenast said he was disappointed that no definitive suggestions were made by those in attendance, that would keep the financially struggling club open.
A suggestion was made to borrow money to keep the club open.
He added that at the meeting donations were taken, but were little more than a “band-aid,” of what is need to keep the club open.
He said a possible option to inject finances into the operation could be establishing a capital campaign.
He said the Vets Club Board will meet informally to discuss the club’s future.
If a decision is made to close, the closure will be immediately.
He said the next formal board meeting is in October this year, but the club will not able to stay open until that time, given the present financial circumstances if the board would decide at that time to have a fundraiser.
The Club’s financial shortfall has been about $2,500 per month.
Wegenast pointed out that two people have applied for the vacant manager’s position.
A search this spring for a paid manager was unsuccessful with no applications received.
The club had been managed on a volunteer basis by Carol Martin.
The All Vets Club employs two people full time and about 11 part-time workers.
North Dakota law requires counties to furnish veteran’s groups with a meeting place, but not a bar or restaurant.
The building is owned by Stutsman County and All Vets Club owns the bar fixtures and restaurant equipment.

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Cass County hasn’t maintained the oversight mandated by the state to ensure carnival rides at the Red River Valley Fair have been properly inspected. But fair and county officials say there’s no reason to think any of the rides at this year’s fair are unsafe, because the company running them inspects every ride before opening each day. Murphy Brothers Exposition spokeswoman Cathy Murphy says the inspection papers are available but no one has ever asked for them. Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz says the question of oversight won’t disrupt this year’s fair but will need to be addressed after it concludes.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck-based North Dakota Army National Guard unit has been told it may mobilize in early 2014.
If the nearly 40 soldiers of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 285th Aviation Regiment head overseas, they’d serve in support of the NATO-led international peacekeeping mission in Kosovo for up to one year.
The unit previously deployed in 2009 to Iraq, where the unit’s aviators flew more than 750 combat missions. They were responsible for transporting senior officials, soldiers, medical supplies and other cargo.
North Dakota adjutant general Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk (sprihn-suh-NAT’-ihk) says the aviators offer a level of professionalism and expertise.
About 70 members of the North Dakota National Guard currently are deployed overseas. Another 200 soldiers from a Grand Forks-based regiment are active protecting airspace around Washington, D.C.

Wilz joined the Guard in 1983.
Aberle will continue to work for the Guard as a civilian, as the transition assistance adviser at the military service center in Bismarck.
Aberle enlisted in the Guard on his 17th birthday in 1978.

The group says renewable energy such as wind power, ethanol and bio-diesel increased by 225 percent since 2007. Marketed natural gas increased 125 percent and oil jumped 386 percent during that time.

The chicks were taken from a nest atop the University of North Dakota water tower Monday and banded so they can be tracked. It’s part of a larger effort to restore peregrines in the Midwest.
The banding has been an annual event since 2008. That’s when Terminator, a peregrine hatched in 2005 in Brandon, Manitoba, produced her first chick in Grand Forks. Her partner in 2008 was a male named Bear. She raised broods with new partner Roosevelt from 2009-2012.
She has a new partner this year. Local raptor expert Tim Driscoll says no one knows what happened to Roosevelt.
Grand Forks and Fargo have the only know nesting peregrines in North Dakota.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – With the NBA’s moratorium on free agency set to lift today, the Golden State Warriors wrapped up most of their major work ahead of schedule. A person with knowledge of the situation says the Warriors added some depth by reaching agreements with guard Toney Douglas and center Jermaine O’Neal.
TOUR DE FRANCE…
SAINT-MALO, France (AP) – Germany’s Marcel Kittel won the 10th stage of the Tour de France in a sprint finish and Chris Froome stayed out of trouble to keep the leader’s yellow jersey. The win is Kittel’s second of the Tour.
Froome was the Tour runner-up to British countryman Bradley Wiggins last year. He has a healthy lead over second-place Alejandro Valverde and two-time champion Alberto Contador and will look to extend it in Wednesday’s time trial.
CLEVELAND (AP) – As the Cleveland Cavaliers await word from Andrew Bynum, two other teams have joined the chase for the free agent 7-foot center. Bynum visited Atlanta Tuesday and plans to meet with officials of the Dallas Mavericks soon.
CHICAGO (AP) – The Chicago Bulls have confirmed they they’ve reached a contract agreement with veteran forward Mike Dunleavy.
The Bulls say they will introduce Dunleavy at a news conference Wednesday. They made the announcement late Tuesday, after the NBA’s moratorium was lifted.

BOSTON (AP) – The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing will be arraigned in federal court in Boston today. Dzokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction in the blast that killed three people and wounded more than 260. Victims’ families can view the proceedings in the main courtroom. The hearing is to be broadcast in an overflow courtroom for reporters.
LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) – Quebec investigators fear three dozen more bodies are buried in the downtown area closest to the tracks where a runaway oil train ignited an inferno. The death toll rose to 15 with the discovery of two more bodies yesterday. The bodies that have been recovered were burned so badly they have yet to be identified. Terrorism has been ruled out as a cause of the explosion, but criminal negligence and tampering have not.
DENVER (AP) – Most of Colorado’s sheriffs are going to court today to convince a federal judge to stop the state’s new limits on gun magazines. Sheriffs in 54 of the state’s 64 counties will argue the law is too vague to enforce. The measure was passed after mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., Newtown, Conn., and Tucson, Ariz., and bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. It went into effect July 1.
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – Can a computer program perform land a drone the size of a fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier? The Navy is going to find out today when the X-47B experimental aircraft leaves Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland for the USS George H.W. Bush, operating off the coast of Virginia. If all goes as planned, a successful landing of the drone will green-light the Navy’s plans to develop another unmanned aircraft to join the fleet alongside traditional airplanes that provide around-the-clock surveillance with strike capability.
WASHINGTON (AP) – How much are your private conversations worth to the government? Depending on the technology, a lot. And they’re paid for with your tax dollars. A murky multimillion-dollar market has emerged with little public scrutiny. Verizon gets top dollar for the information, charging the government $775 for the first month and $500 a month after that to snoop on its customers. Emails probably were collected for free or very cheaply.
