Jamestown (CSi) Stutsman County Park’s Department will install an “honor box” at Parkhurst for camping fees, which will be set at $10 per day.

The Park Board approved plan, will allow individuals to take an envelope, place a camping fee inside and drop it into a secured box, in return for a tab or tag that shows the fee was paid.

A tab would be needed for each camping unit. If a camper has two cars associated with it, only the camper would need to display a tab.

The Park Board also authorized the hiring of two part-time workers for the summer, each working less than 20 hours a week. The Park Board had budgeted for the expense.

 VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – Valley City is moving forward with its plans for permanent flood protection for the city.
 
     The City Commission on Tuesday approved the plan for the project’s first phase. It includes a combination of clay dikes and flood walls in the Valley City State University area. Future phases would likely protect the majority of homes in the city.
 
     Mayor Bob Werkhoven says the first phase of construction is estimated to cost about $12 million. City officials expect to talk with the State Water Commission in the coming weeks to try and secure funding for the project.
 
     Werkhoven says the city has bought out more than 40 homes already in flood-prone areas where permanent protection will go. He said there are still more homes the city plans to buy in the future.

ENID, Okla. (AP) – A food supplier with operations in Oklahoma is recalling more than 8,700 pounds of frozen chicken products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens.
 
     The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the products from AdvancePierre Foods were formulated with milk and soy, which are not declared on the label.
 
     The recall affects 10-pound bulk cases of Our Down Home Style Chicken Breast Fritters for Chicken Frying. The USDA says the products were distributed to food-service establishments in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
 
     The USDA says it’s received no reports of illnesses.
 
     Advance Food Company was founded in Enid, Okla., in 1973. In 2010, the company merged with Pierre Foods to create AdvancePierre Foods, which has headquarters in Ohio.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Family members of Minot residents who were part of a large hepatitis C outbreak last year are still searching for answers.
 
     Forty-four people were infected with the virus that can cause serious liver damage and even death. All of the people had spent time at the ManorCare Health Services nursing home in Minot.
 
     The state Health Department’s preliminary report on the outbreak says neither the state nor the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could pinpoint how the patients became infected.
 
     Jan Laudenschlager’s father was one of the people infected. She says  the lack of information on the cause is frustrating.
 
     The Health Department’s final report is expected this summer. The state crime bureau also is looking into the outbreak but won’t comment on the investigation.

 DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Devils Lake police are investigating a burglary at the home of a man who had died in a vehicle accident just hours before.
 
     The Highway Patrol reports that 53-year-old Monte Armentrout died Sunday evening when his minivan crashed into a concrete bridge pillar on Interstate 29 in Traill County.
 
Police were called to Armentrout’s home Monday afternoon after relatives discovered someone had broken into the home. Authorities say various items were taken.

  BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Police say $200 worth of liquor from the Lewis and Clark Riverboat.
 
Authorities say someone broke a $200 window and entered the boat while it was docked between 10 p.m. Saturday and 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
 
     Police say responding officers did not find anyone inside the boat. Employees reported that the liquor was missing.
 
     The boat belongs to the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation.

 DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – A Devils Lake woman who stole more than a quarter of a million dollars from her employer has been sentenced to five years in prison.
 
65-year-old Sonya Dahlen pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony theft and was sentenced to prison and restitution.
 
     Ramsey County State’s Attorney Lonnie Olson says Dahlen took the money from a Devils Lake-based hotel company between January 2011 and April 2013. He says she told authorities that she used the money for gambling.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police say a sushi chef stabbed his co-worker after a misunderstanding turned ugly in Fargo.
 
     Lin Zhong has been charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly stabbing his fellow chef with a 12-inch sushi knife at Osaka Sushi and Hibachi on Sunday.
 
     Police say there was apparently a miscommunication between Zhong and fellow chef Long Gao that led to the stabbing behind the sushi bar.
 
     Court documents show that both men are from Flushing, N.Y., and haven’t been working at Osaka long.
 
     Gao’s condition is unknown, but police say he didn’t appear in much pain Sunday. Zhong was still being held at the Cass County jail on Wednesday. A spokeswoman for defense attorney Gordon Dexheimer declined comment.
 
     Zhong faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – One of 15 people charged in an investigation into the synthetic drug deaths of two North Dakota teens is scheduled to plead guilty in federal court on Friday.
 
     John Polinski is charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in serious bodily injury and death. He would be the last defendant convicted in the case known as “Operation Stolen Youth.”
 
     Polinski worked for a Houston company that allegedly supplied the chemicals to a Grand Forks man who cooked up the deadly hallucinogens.
 
     Authorities say the drugs caused the June 2012 deaths of 18-year-old Christian Bjerk, of Grand Forks, and 17-year-old Elijah Stai, of Park Rapids, Minn.
 
     The charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have scheduled a public hearing later this month on a new plan to reduce the flaring of natural gas in the western oil fields.
 
     Officials with the Oil and Gas Division of the state Mineral Resources Department will hold the hearing April 22 in Bismarck. They also are accepting written comments through the close of business on April 21.
 
     The state Industrial Commission regulates North Dakota’s energy industry. The group last month endorsed a plan to cut down the amount of natural gas that’s burned off and wasted as a byproduct of oil production. One provision is that oil companies can’t drill a well until they craft natural gas capturing plans.
 
     State regulators are seeking input on several matters, including exemptions and additional steps to reduce flaring.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. –  Brady Anderson of Valley City State (N.D.) has been named the NAIA Baseball National Player of the Week and Jacob Butler of St. Francis (Ill.) has been selected as the National Pitcher of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Anderson and Butler were chosen based on their performances from March 24 – 30 and were selected out of a pool of conference, independent and unaffiliated group winners.

Anderson, a native of Jamestown, N.D., hit .593 in six games last week (16-of-27), including four doubles, a triple and three home runs. His best performance came in the first of three Viking wins over in-state rival Dickinson State (N.D.) on March 5. In the 23-8 rout, Anderson hit for the cycle, finishing with four hits, five runs and eight RBIs. He followed that up with four more hits and five more RBIs in Valley City State’s 9-1 win on March 6. For the week, Anderson recorded eight extra-base hits, while scoring 11 runs and driving in 16.

Anderson is now batting .467 on the season and slugging .761. He has scored 20 runs, driven in 31 runs, and has 10 doubles, four triples and three home runs in 23 games. On the year, Anderson is among the NAIA leaders in triples (14th, 4), total bases (32nd, 70) and total runs batted in (36th, 31).

Butler, a senior from Channahon, Ill., struck out 18 of the 24 batters he faced in the Fighting Saints 8-0 rout of Calumet (Ind.) on March 29. He allowed just two hits in seven innings of work for the complete game shutout. The win was part of St. Francis’ 3-0 series sweep of Calumet in which the Fighting Saints outscored the Crimson Wave 36-3.

On the season, Butler ranks among the national leaders in strikeouts per nine innings (13th, 11.48) and total strikeouts (39th, 51).

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senators are suggesting that someone at General Motors could be facing prosecution, over the handling of an ignition switch that is now linked to 13 deaths. At a hearing Wednesday featuring the company’s CEO, senators focused on GM’s decision to approve a replacement switch in 2006 without changing the part number. That makes the part harder to track. And several members of the panel suggested that it was done intentionally by someone within the company.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – A former CIA official has been defending the changes he made to the talking points that were put together in the aftermath of the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya in 2012. During more than three hours of questioning Wednesday from a House panel, former deputy director Mike Morell said he deleted references to terrorism warnings from those talking points so that the spy agency wouldn’t be able to gloat at the expense of the State Department. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed in two separate attacks over several hours.
 
     AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Another federal lawsuit has been filed challenging new provisions in Texas’ tough restrictions on abortion. It comes less than a week after a federal appeals court reversed a previous legal challenge. The Center for Reproductive Rights asked a federal judge in Austin Wednesday to block key portions of the law. This is the first challenge to a provision of the law taking effect Sept. 1 and requiring that abortions take place in ambulatory surgical centers. Also being challenged is a requirement that abortion doctors have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of the clinic where they perform the procedure.
 
     LAS VEGAS (AP) – The list of possible sites for the 2016 Republican National Convention is being trimmed down, with Phoenix and Columbus, Ohio eliminated from consideration. Las Vegas remains an early leader — but some Republicans are concerned about unveiling the GOP’s next presidential nominee in a place known as “Sin City.” Other finalists include Denver, Dallas, Kansas City, and the Ohio cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati.

 
     CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – Autopsies have helped identify 63-year-old twin brothers who were found dead last weekend in their Tennessee home. But the autopsies did nothing to resolve the mystery of what happened to the brothers and how their bodies could have remained in the home for about three years without anyone noticing. Police say Andrew and Anthony Johnson were found dead Saturday. They were sitting in recliners inside their home and both appeared to have died in 2011. There were no signs of foul play.
