Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Parks and Recreation Department will be offering lap swimming at the high school swimming pool starting July 1, 2015 and to continue through the opening of the Two Rivers Activities Center (TRAC).

A monthly calendar will be created and shared with participants to outline any changes well in advance.

All swimmers will enter and exit through the main high school doors. A check-in form will be provided at the pool. For security purposes, all swimmers will be required to sign in when they arrive and depart from the swimming pool facility.

Participants in the Lap Swimming Program will utilize the Varsity Locker Rooms for both the morning and evening sessions. Lockers will be available, but swimmers will need to bring their own locks. We would ask that locks and all materials be removed after each swimming session.

The Jamestown Parks and Recreation will provide pool monitoring and lifeguards for the lap swimmers. There will be no charge for James River Family Fitness Members, however they will need to show membership card when particicating, for non-members a monthly pass can be purchased for $30.00 at the Jamestown Parks and Recreation office, 1002 2^nd Ave. SE.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple says North Dakota will abide by the Supreme Court ruling that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States.

     Dalrymple issued a statement calling the ruling “a federal mandate” and said North Dakota would comply.

     The ruling nullifies North Dakota’s nearly 11-year-old constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. In 2004, 73 percent of voters in the state approved the amendment.

     The state’s ban had been under fire, with two lawsuits challenging it in federal court.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police in Fargo say a years-old shoplifting warrant gave detectives some extra times as they built their case against the suspect in two recent homicides.

     Lt. Joel Vettel says the shoplifting warrant against 35-year-old Ashley Hunter allowed police to hold the Fargo man while detectives gathered evidence linking him to the homicides.

     Hunter has been charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of 45-year-old Clarence Flowers and 25-year-old Samuel Traut.

     Authorities say Hunter was acquainted with Flowers, who was stabbed to death in his apartment Monday. Hunter didn’t know Traut, who lived in an apartment building directly behind Hunter’s residence.

     The shoplifting warrant was issued in November 2013. It accuses Hunter of stealing a chicken from a grocery store.

     Hunter’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment on the case.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Kenmare man has been sentenced to serve 45 years in federal prison for sexually exploiting a minor and possessing child pornography.

Authorities say 36-year-old Vernon Brekhus (BREHK’-uhs) was caught by a law officer working undercover online. A search warrant for his home turned up computers and other electronic devices with nearly 800 pictures and 16 videos of child porn.

Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher Myers says that after Brekhus serves his prison term, he will be on supervised release for the rest of his life. He also must pay $1,500 in restitution.

     FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two workers at a neighborhood grocery store in Fargo have pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit food stamp fraud.

     Authorities say 46-year-old Lamia Ali and 50-year-old Abass Amedi operated a scheme at the Al Huda store in which food stamp benefits were illegally turned into cash.

     Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher Myers says the federal government was defrauded out of more than $365,000 between March 2011 and March 2013.

     Ali and Amedi each faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. They’ll be sentenced Sept. 14.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Officials say North Dakota’s robust economy may be driving up the state’s population but it’s also causing some driver frustration from unprecedented traffic congestion.

     Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney says people “are just not used to” increased traffic in North Dakota’s biggest city and most anywhere else in the state.

     U.S. Census Bureau data show the number of workers in the Fargo metro area rose from 106,489 in 2007 to more than 123,247 in 2013. The average commute time for those workers jumped from just under 16 minutes in 2007 to almost 23 minutes in 2013.

     Bismarck Police Chief Dan Donlin says traffic congestion is new to his city. He says there was no such thing as a rush hour in Bismarck until a few years ago.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Grahams Island State Park on Devils Lake is hosting a celebration of the 50th anniversary of North Dakota’s Parks and Recreation Department.

     The event is one of 13 around the state this year celebrating the golden anniversary of Parks and Rec.

     The Devils Lake Chamber 39th Annual Walleye Fishing Tournament also is being held this weekend.

In world and national news…

MALONE, N.Y. (AP) –   One of two convicted killers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate New York maximum-security prison and had been hunted for three weeks has been shot and killed.

     An official with knowledge of the manhunt says Richard Matt was killed and David Sweat is still on the run. The official wasn’t authorized to talk about the development publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on Friday on the condition of anonymity.

     Gov. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH’-moh) says Matt and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a 2-foot-thick brick wall, squirmed through pipes and escaped early on June 6 from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, near the Canadian border.

     Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy in Broome County in 2002. Matt was serving 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss.

     A prison guard and a prison tailor shop instructor have been accused of helping the inmates escape.

UNDATED (AP) – Two important religious groups that oppose gay marriage are denouncing Friday’s Supreme Court decision legalizing it in every state. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops calls the ruling “profoundly immoral and unjust.” And evangelical leaders who are part of the Southern Baptist Convention, along with other churches and Christian groups, say there can be no capitulation in defending traditional marriage. They say “biblical authority” requires the struggle against same-sex marriage to continue.

     PARIS (AP) – The U.S. Embassy in Paris is warning American citizens to be vigilant after an attack on a U.S.-owned gas factory in southeastern France. French authorities say a man once flagged for ties to French Islamic radicals rammed a vehicle into the factory Friday, triggering an explosion that injured two people. The severed head of the driver’s employer was left hanging at the factory’s entrance, along with banners with Arabic inscriptions.

     JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – Recovery efforts are set to resume at a remote site in southeastern Alaska where a sightseeing plane crashed, killing all nine people aboard. Officials say the crash site is on an 800-foot cliff above a lake, and crews will have to hike over steep, muddy terrain to reach the wreckage. Wind and rain ended recovery efforts last night.

     CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – The National Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to site of a crash in southern Tennessee that killed six people. Chattanooga police say it happened on Interstate 75 Thursday evening when a semi hit eight other vehicles that were stopped due to construction. Police say a total of 18 people in nine vehicles were involved in the crash. Six died, six were taken to area hospitals and six weren’t injured.

     AVON, N.C. (AP) – Authorities say a man has been bitten multiple times by a shark on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the fifth such attack in the past two weeks. Media outlets report a 47-year-old man was bitten on the back today while he was in the surf off Avon on Hatteras Island. WVEC-TV says he was being taken to a hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. Red flags have been raised at Avon alerting beachgoers to the attack.
