He said plans include to eventually have two-thirds of Hi-Acres having private rooms.

The renovations are planned to start this fall.

Eventide also has facilities in Moorhead, Minnesota, and West Fargo, North Dakota.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) The State Historical Society of North Dakota will make repairs to the historic Stutsman County Courthouse following an inspection that identified moisture as the building’s primary problem.

The society owns the historic 1883 building and received $60,000 in June from the state’s Emergency Commission in to begin interior repairs.

Director of Archaeology and Historic Preservation Division Fern Swenson says repairs already underway will help with the problem, but the workers also need to get some dehumidifiers in the basement.

The emergency funds came after Stutsman County officials voiced concern about the old courthouse’s remaining connections with the new courthouse. A study from an environmental consultant showed that the old courthouse has mold, but it had not gotten into the new building.

from Gattuso after Kirkpatrick’s daughter died.

who have lived in their communities for six years or more.
     About 17 percent said the oil boom has improved their quality of
life. Fifty-two percent said they disagree or strongly disagree.
     The survey project also asked for written comments from
respondents. Many participants wrote that the state should limit
the number of drilling permits to allow communities to catch up
with housing, law enforcement and other infrastructure.

legal to grow and use marijuana as a medicine.
