Washington (CSi) U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Thursday announced $400,000 in federal funding for needed updates at the Ellendale and Jamestown airports.
Heitkamp says, “An important part of keeping North Dakotans strong and safe in their communities is having reliable and safe transportation infrastructure. Many of our regional airports have felt the stress of North Dakota’s population growth, but with strong federal investments – like these funds provide – we can continue to make sure all North Dakotans are safe.”
These funds, authorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation, are distributed as follows:
Ellendale Municipal Airport – $300,000. These funds will be used to rehabilitate the current runway lighting system to improve safety for pilots during low visibility conditions.
Jamestown Regional Airport – $100,000. These funds will be used to reduce hazardous wildlife attractants and improve safety through wetland mitigation.
In May, as part of her Strong & Safe Communities Initiative, brought together community leaders from Bismarck, Minot, and surrounding towns to discuss the state’s transportation infrastructure needs. The discussion focused on the importance of building and expanding roads and bridges across North Dakota to both improve safety and keep up with the increase of traffic on the roads.
Also making the announcement U.S. Senator John Hoeven said, “Our airports play a critical role in North Dakota’s economic success,” Hoeven said. “Today’s DOT grants to the airport authorities in Jamestown and Ellendale will help keep pilots and passengers safe, and will allow these airports to continue to provide great service to central and south central North Dakota.”
As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Hoeven works to support programs that invest in infrastructure and other services to meet the needs of North Dakota’s growing population and commerce.
Representative Kevin Cramer added, “Access to quality transportation is important for rural states like North Dakota. These funds provide resources for the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority to improve their facilities to serve the needs of their community.”
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Two people are dead after a head-on collision involving a pickup truck and a water tanker truck in Williams County.
The Highway Patrol says the two male victims were in the pickup, which was traveling east in the westbound lane of state Highway 1804. The crash happened shortly before 1:30 a.m. Thursday, about 20 miles east of Williston, and the pickup caught fire.
Authorities did not immediately identify the victims, who died at the scene.
The driver of the tanker truck was not hurt.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Officials from Wells Fargo Bank have given $1 million to the state to help kick off North Dakota’s Housing Incentive Fund.
The fund is to help developers who pledge to build affordable and low-income housing. Those who contribute are eligible for dollar-for-dollar state tax credits. The North Dakota Industrial Commission, the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency and Wells Fargo held a ceremony Thursday afternoon in Bismarck.
Officials announced that 24 developments have been awarded assistance from the fund for the new biennium and that the funding will help create 985 housing units.
The housing finance agency began accepting contributions into the fund on July 1. To honor its financial commitments, the agency must raise $30 million by Dec. 31, 2016.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Senior military Retired Gens. Michael Haugen, Keith Bjerke, Jerald Engelman and Robert Schulte say a 2010 bill that promotes healthier meals in schools is a good step toward reversing the obesity epidemic and the legislation should be reauthorized.
The group cites a Department of Defense study showing that 73 percent of 17- to 24-year-old residents in North Dakota and South Dakota are not currently eligible for military service, and obesity is a major reason.
The generals are asking the state’s congressional delegation to oppose attempts to weaken or roll back current guidelines.
North Dakota Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and Rep. Kevin Cramer were not immediately available for comment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Law enforcement officials in Bismarck say economic prosperity in the region is leading to a steady increase in drug crimes in North Dakota’s capital city.
Police Chief Dan Donlin says the number of drug crimes continues to rise “year after year after year.” Police say officers a decade ago were dealing with controlled buys involving half-grams and grams, and now it’s ounces and pounds.
The Police Department this week released its annual crime statistics for 2014. Drug-related violations were up more than 13 percent from 2013.
Bismarck officers last year seized 73 pounds of marijuana and more than 700 grams of methamphetamine.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Poor timing of rain has some ranchers in northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana worried about having enough hay to get their livestock through the next winter.
Williams County Extension Agent Danielle Steinhoff says some ranchers are looking for hay to buy, and some are wondering if they might be forced to feed more expensive corn to their cattle.
Bainville, Montana, rancher Mike Wilson says he typically gets two or three bales off every acre of non-irrigated land, but this year he’s getting only about one bale per acre.
Wilson is in the midst of the first cutting of hay. He says he hopes the second cutting later this summer will be better.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Officials are kicking off the capitalization process for North Dakota’s Housing Incentive Fund.
The fund is to help developers who pledge to build affordable and low-income housing. Those who contribute are eligible for dollar-for-dollar state tax credits.
The North Dakota Industrial Commission, the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency and Wells Fargo Bank have scheduled a kick-off ceremony Thursday afternoon in Bismarck. Officials plan to announce a contribution from Wells Fargo Bank and the projects selected during the program’s first funding round.
In world and national news…
VIENNA (AP) – Secretary of State John Kerry is threatening to walk away from the nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna. Kerry told reporters that if “tough decisions don’t get made,” then the U.S. is “absolutely prepared to call an end to this process.” It’s the strongest indication so far of U.S. frustration with Iran. Under U.S. law, if the nations negotiating with Iran don’t have a deal by the end of the day, it would trigger a 60-day congressional review period during which President Barack Obama can’t waive sanctions on Iran.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Outside South Carolina’s Statehouse, people have been walking by to take pictures or selfies with the Confederate flag – and most of them are happy to see it go. It will come down tomorrow morning during a ceremony — a day after the signing of legislation approved early Thursday by the state House requiring the flag to go. Only a few flag supporters were there this afternoon. One man said the vote to take the Confederate flag off Statehouse grounds shows the world wants to destroy Southern culture. But others held signs reading, “Statehouse Not Hate House.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – Same-sex married couples can start applying for Social Security and veterans benefits for spouses in all 50 states. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Thursday that the government is making marriage benefits available to same-sex couples nationwide. Until now, some benefits had been denied to those couples if they lived in states that did not recognize their marriages.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has more than $114 million in the bank already to fuel his White House ambitions. That’s how much he raised in the first six months of the year. It’s a historic amount that takes full advantage of the nation’s evolving campaign finance laws. No candidate for president has benefited from so much money so early in a campaign. The total includes $103 raised by Right to Rise, a super PAC that will support Bush in the crowded GOP contest. The rest was raised by Bush’s formal campaign.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Former NFL player Ray McDonald has been charged with domestic violence and false imprisonment by prosecutors in Santa Clara, California. He’s accused of assaulting his former fiancee while she held their two-month-old child. McDonald was arrested after the incident in May — and again two days later when he allegedly returned to the home in violation of a restraining order. The San Francisco 49ers released McDonald last December, citing a pattern of behavior. The Chicago Bears released him after the May arrest.
