 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has directed all flags
be flown at half-staff in North Dakota on Friday in honor of former
astronaut Neil Armstrong.
     Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon on July 20,
1969. He died on Saturday. He was 82.
     Dalrymple says he’s asking all flags to be at half-staff from
sunrise to sunset at the request of President Obama.
     A private memorial service for Armstrong is scheduled in
Cincinnati on Friday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Forest Service is implementing fire restrictions on some national grasslands in North Dakota and South Dakota because of dry conditions that have elevated the danger of wildfires.
 
     Fires and campfires are being restricted to developed recreation sites equipped with metal fire rings or elevated charcoal grills.

 Smoking is being prohibited except within enclosed vehicles or buildings, developed recreation sites and barren areas at least three feet in diameter.
 
     The restrictions go into effect Friday on the Little Missouri, Grand River and Cedar River national grasslands.
 
     Forest Service spokeswoman Babete Anderson says the 5-square-mile Deep Creek 2 fire on the Little Missouri grasslands in western North Dakota is now fully contained.

The fire was sparked by lightning late last week. No structures burned and no people were hurt.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Minot and Ward County will be getting $2.4
million in state grants to repair damage and help rebuild public
works from last year’s Souris River flooding.
     The state Board of University and School Lands voted Thursday to
approve nine grants.

The largest grant of $1.81 million is going to the city of Minot to expand the city’s sewer system and repair six pumping stations.
     Ward County is getting seven grants.

The largest one is for $200,000 to protect a Ward County road from soil erosion.
     McHenry County is getting a $27,000 grant to help crop
irrigators continue using the Souris River as a water source.
     State trust lands commissioner Lance Gaebe (GAY’-bee) says the
board has distributed $30 million in flood relief grants over the
last several months.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Department of Justice has awarded more
than $1 million to four Native American tribes in the Dakotas to
enhance sex offender registration and notification programs.
     The North Dakota congressional delegation announced Thursday
that the grants have been awarded to the Three Affiliated Tribes of
Fort Berthold, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, the
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe.
     The congressional delegates say in a news release that the
tribes will use the money to help implement and comply with the Sex
Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006, which seeks to
close gaps and loopholes in sex offender registration and
notification programs.

 

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Officials have broken ground on a
wastewater treatment and reclamation plant at Dickinson that
officials say will help keep up with the population growth being
caused by the western North Dakota oil boom.
     Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley says the $30 million facility is designed
to handle wastewater flows from a projected population of 35,000
people and could be expanded to handle up to 68,000 people.
     Once treated, the wastewater will go to municipal and industrial
uses such as irrigation and oil field fracking.
     Wrigley says the plant is being paid for in part through more
than $12 million in state energy-impact grants.

It is scheduled to be completed by October 2014.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. – Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley, the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) and the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (NDDES) Thursday marked the 10^thanniversary of the state’s AMBER – America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response – Alert system, an important lifesaving program implemented to instantly notify law enforcement and the public of an endangered child.

The commemoration took place during a program at the State Emergency Operations Center that was held prior to the activation of the annual statewide test of the alert system.

 “The AMBER Alert system is an important tool for protecting our children and returning them to safety in the event of an abduction,” Wrigley said. “It is critical that in those precious few hours following an abduction everyone is notified statewide and galvanized in their efforts to search for and safely recover the endangered children.”

 On August 30, 2002, then Gov. John Hoeven issued an executive order directing the NDHP, in cooperation with the Division of Emergency Management, State Radio and other state agencies, to implement a statewide AMBER Alert system.

Since its inception, the North Dakota system has been activated four times, with the safe recovery of the reported abducted children in three of the four instances.

The most recent activation was in July 2010.

AMBER Alerts are recorded on the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s (NDDOT) 511 Road and Weather Information System, displayed on the NDDOT roadside message signs, the nd.gov/amber website, and are also displayed on scrolling banners at North Dakota State Lottery terminal sites. 

For more information about the state’s AMBER Alert system, visit www.nd.gov/des/state-radio/amber-alert/ or register at www.wirelessamberalerts.org to receive text notification of actual AMBER Alerts that occur in your area. 

 

In world and national news…

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The people who will introduce Mitt Romney at
tonight’s Republican National Convention include members of the
Mormon church, former business associates and past Olympic
athletes.

Romney is expected to give Americans a different view of
himself than he’s presented before — including discussion of his
Mormon faith.

He’s also expected to focus on what he’ll describe as
the failures of President Barack Obama to revive the economy.

     
     NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Although there have been bursts of sunshine
today in New Orleans, areas north and south of the city continue to
be plagued by heavy rain and flooding from Tropical Storm Isaac.

Hundreds of homes, and perhaps more, are under water, and thousands
of people are staying at shelters.

The damage may not yet be done. Waters continue to rise, and a dam at a lake near the Louisiana-Mississippi border is under pressure.

     
     UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Britain and France say they’re not ruling
out any options in Syria, including a military-enforced no-fly zone
to protect civilians fleeing the civil war.

Foreign ministers from the two countries spoke ahead of a U.N. Security Council meeting on the humanitarian plight of civilians in Syria.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said a Turkish proposal for a safe zone would require military intervention, and he says the council isn’t
likely to approve it at this time.

     
     JOHANNESBURG (AP) – Authorities in South Africa are charging
some 270 miners with the murders of 34 striking colleagues who were
shot and killed by South African police officers.

The decision indicates that President Jacob Zuma’s government wants to shift blame for the killings from police to the striking miners.

They’re being charged under an arcane Roman-Dutch common cause law.

The development could further anger South Africans who were infuriated
by the police action.

     
     MOSCOW (AP) – A historic hotel in Moscow, which hosted Michael
Jackson and Vladimir Lenin over the past century, has been sold at
auction.

The Hotel Metropol was sold today for $275 million at an
auction organized by the Moscow city government as part of its
privatization program.

The winning bid was slightly more expensive than the starting price of $272 million. The buyer is a major Russian hotel chain that rented the Metropol from the Moscow city government.
