BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the Garrison-Max ambulance district board violated state law by failing to give proper notice for meetings.
 
     The dispute involved the rescheduling of the board’s monthly meeting and the scheduling of a special meeting, both in May. Although the board posted meeting notices in its main offices and notified the official newspaper, Stenehjem says the group violated the law by failing to notify the Garrison or Max city auditors of either of the meetings.
 
     In a related ruling, Stenehjem says the board did not break the law when it communicated by text messages and email about the meeting schedules. He says there were no attempts to build support or consensus and no opinions were shared in the exchanges.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Thirteen states led by North Dakota are asking a federal judge in Bismarck to block a new rule that gives federal authorities jurisdiction over some state waters. North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says he will request a preliminary injunction Monday. The states filed a lawsuit in June challenging the rule by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers. The states say the new rule illegally expands the jurisdiction of those agencies under the federal Clean Water Act. The law goes into effect Aug. 28.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Hot and dry weather over much of North Dakota is providing good harvest conditions and causing small grains to mature rapidly.
 
     The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that the spring and winter wheat harvest is well ahead of last year’s pace. Durum harvest is just getting underway.
 
     The condition of potatoes were rated 64 percent good to excellent, and 8 percent poor or very poor.
 
     Topsoil moisture conditions for the week were rated 75 percent adequate or surplus. Subsoil moisture was measured at 81 percent adequate or surplus. The report says some areas of row crops were starting to show some stress.
 
     Pasture and range conditions were rated 65 percent good or excellent.

 

 FAIRMOUNT, N.D. (AP) – The southeastern North Dakota community of Fairmount once again has a fully functioning water tower, after weeks of water disruptions following a mid-July storm.
 
     The top of the 94-year-old tower was blown to one side by strong winds that accompanied a thunderstorm on July 14. City officials put water restrictions in place and state health officials implemented a boil order.
 
     Crews finished repair work in late July, and after a couple of days of testing, water from the 50,000-gallon tower was declared safe for the community’s 400 residents.
 
     Mayor Jon Nelk says the new water tower roof is more secure than the old one. He expects the tower to last another 100 years.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A former church that stood in Minot for more than a century has been demolished after falling into ruin following the 2011 Souris River flood.
 
     Owner Jeremy Boyce says  he had hoped to develop the former church into a restaurant, but the building had passed the point of being saved. The foundation was crumbling, mold was present, vandalism was taking a toll and vagrants had moved in.
 
     Boyce says he offered the building to the Ward County Historical Society, but the group declined.
 
     The church was built in the early 1900s. Through the years it housed three different Lutheran denominations, as well as a splinter group of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Boyce bought it in 2001.

TENNIS…

 TORONTO (AP) – After waiting out a lengthy rain delay, Germany’s Sabine Lisicki defeated Venus Williams 6-0, 6-3 Monday night in their first-round match at the Rogers Cup.
 
     Rain washed out most of the matches scheduled in the women’s half of the draw, and Williams and Lisicki didn’t take the court until after 10 p.m.
 
     When they did, the 14th-seeded Williams wasn’t sharp, giving away more than a half-dozen points on double faults.
 
     Lisicki was strong in her service game and rarely made the kind of mistakes that cost Williams.
 
     Fans who waited out the rain tried to encourage Williams during her struggles.

He showed up at Whistling Straits on Saturday and has been playing without apparent pain.

 

NASCAR…

NFL-CHARGERS-STADIUM PROPOSAL…
 
     SAN DIEGO (AP) – The Chargers wasted no time criticizing San Diego’s updated plans for a new $1.1 billion stadium, the city’s effort to keep the team from leaving for Los Angeles.
 
     The proposal calls for the Chargers to be responsible for $362.5 million and all cost overruns, with public contributions capped at 32 percent of the total project.
 
     Chargers point man and former Los Angeles deputy mayor Mark Fabiani slammed the proposal and the 6,000-page draft of an environmental impact report, saying the franchise will not be the City’s guinea pig for this inevitably ill-fated experiment.
