UPDATE

Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Sept 11, 2012) — Following the tragic accident that took the life of pilot Bob Odegaard on Friday (Sept 7, 2012), while practicing for the Valley City Air Show, officials are looking at options, concerning the cancelled show, and any future air show.

Plans for a future Air Show in Valley City are being discussed, and could be held, possibly in another two years.

Barnes County Airport Authority board member, and Air Show organizer, Lori Jury says, says anyone purchasing Air Show tickets should save their tickets.

The Airport Authority board will take several weeks to discuss options available about what to do with those who purchased advance tickets.

Ms. Jury says, at this time no decisions have been made concerning advance tickets or a future show.

Earlier this week, Barnes County Airport Authority Board Chairman Dennis Helland asked anyone with photos of the plane in flight, on the ground or during the crash to give them to Barnes County Airport officials or the Barnes County Sheriff’s office.

Statement from the Barnes County, Air Show Committee, and Barnes County Regional Airport Authority on line:

A Prayer Service for Bob Odegaard will be held Tuesday at 7pm at St. Maurice Catholic Church in Kindred.

The Funeral Service will be held Wednesday at the church at 2pm.

NHL-LABOR

     NEW YORK (AP) – As hockey prepared for its first work stoppage
since the 2004-05 season was wiped out, the NHL Players Association
planned to challenge a lockout before labor boards in Quebec and
Alberta.

The moves, if successful, could force teams to pay players
on the Montreal Canadiens,

Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers during a work stoppage.
     The NHL’s labor contract expires at midnight Saturday night, and
a lockout appears certain. It would be the league’s fourth work
stoppage since 1992.
     Donald Fehr (feer), who took over as union head two years ago,
said his players are resigned to a work stoppage, which would
follow lockouts last year in the NFL and the NBA.

NEW YORK (AP) – The president of the National Sept. 11 Memorial

and Museum says continuous construction at the museum is expected

to restart at the end of the month.

Joe Daniels says “hopefully” the museum will be completed by the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.

An agreement to complete the Sept. 11 museum was reached Monday.

It originally was supposed to open this month.

Daniel said construction won’t be interrupted again.
     
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is assailing
publication of a book about the raid that killed terrorist leader
Osama bin Laden.

is classified and what isn’t, and where those lines are.”
     
     JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel’s prime minister is expressing his
dissatisfaction with Washington’s refusal to spell out what would
provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear
facilities.

The U.S. wants to give diplomacy and sanctions more
time.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says peaceful methods
are not working, and Iran is getting closer to acquiring a nuclear
bomb.

His remarks have generated speculation Israel is readying to
strike on its own.
     
     CHICAGO (AP) – Parents of school-age Chicago students will have
to scramble for at least one more day to figure out where their
children will go as teachers continue to walk the picket line.

settlement yesterday.

The two sides appear to be far apart on issues such as performance evaluations and recall rights for laid-off teachers.
     
     UNDATED (AP) – New research suggests that an experimental
Alzheimer’s drug might slow formation of the plaque that clogs the
brains of people with the disease.

The drug by Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson failed to stop mental decline, so it won’t help people who have dementia now.

But doctors say it might work if given earlier in the course of the disease. The results on the drug were discussed today at a conference in Sweden.
