Valley City\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The public is invited to a Town Hall meeting in Valley City, on Wednesday March 15, 2017, at 6-p.m., at City Hall, in the Commission chamber.<\/p>\n
On hand will be local, state and federal officials talking about the flood outlook and steps residents and businesses can take to reduce their flood risk this spring.<\/p>\n
Presentations will be made by \u00a0representatives from local emergency management, State Water Commission, North Dakota Emergency Services and Senior Floodplain Specialist Barbara Fitzpatrick from the Federal Emergency Management Administration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 The Jamestown City Planning Commission has \u00a0approved a zone change for property adjacent to the planned road between the Menards area and Jamestown Regional Medical Center which is \u00a0owned by John Corell.<\/p>\n
A portion of the property is presently zoned for commercial development while the southern area is zoned agriculture. The zoning change will change the zoning of the entire project to commercial.<\/p>\n
The Planning Commission tabled a request to change the zoning of the former Beulah Camp in Northwest Jamestown from park\/open space\/recreation to low density residential housing.<\/p>\n
Developer, Dean Hafner, purchased the old Bible camp property in 2011. Hafner’s application indicates \u00a0single-family homes and twin homes would be constructed on the property if the zoning is changed.<\/p>\n
Hafner\u2019s plan is opposed by residents across the river indicating the housing developement would reduce the value of their property, and could cause flooding problems for their properties.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The Army Corps of Engineers has finished cleaning up three Dakota Access pipeline protest camps that were on federal land in North Dakota.<\/p>\n
The Corps hired a contractor after the main camp and two others were cleared out and shut down late last month in advance of the spring flooding season. They’d operated since last spring and at times held thousands of pipeline opponents.<\/p>\n
Corps Capt. Ryan Hignight says a total of 835 industrial-size trash bins were filled and removed in the operation that wrapped up late last week. That doesn’t include materials such as lumber and propane tanks that were set aside for reuse or recycling.<\/p>\n
The total cost of the operation hasn’t been tallied yet, but the Corps has estimated that it could cost taxpayers more than $1.1 million.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Opponents of a proposal that would change the North Dakota Constitution to allow state-owned casinos say it will hurt American Indian gambling facilities and relationships with tribes.<\/p>\n
Three Affiliated Tribes Chairman Mark Fox told the House Judiciary Committee Monday that casinos provide jobs and revenue for the state’s five Indian reservations and nearby communities.<\/p>\n
Ruth Buffalo of Mandaree says state and tribal relations are at an “all-time low” following the Dakota Access pipeline dispute. She says the state should be working to repair the relationship instead of mulling casinos.<\/p>\n
Republican Rep. Al Carlson of Fargo says the state could market its casinos as “destination-oriented attractions” and use their profits to offset taxes.<\/p>\n
If approved by the Legislature, voters could decide the issue in the June 2018 primary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BISMARKCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Senate has unanimously approved a bill that would create an official statewide brain injury advisory council.<\/p>\n
Senators approved the House bill, with some changes, by a 45-0 vote Monday. The measure passed the House by an 81-9 vote earlier this season.<\/p>\n
Under the bill, the governor, legislative leaders and other groups would appoint member of the council. The group would be charged with promoting programs and ways to improve the quality of life for those living with traumatic brain injuries.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 House must agree with the Senate’s amendments, or else a conference committee would need to be appointed to iron out differences.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The owner of a horse betting business in North Dakota says the state has agreed to pay her more than $13 million after her conviction for illegal gambling was overturned.<\/p>\n

The Fargo-based business handled bets for closed-circuit horse race gambling sites. Bala spent more than a year in prison before a federal appeals court overturned her conviction.<\/p>\n
Bala says the $13 million doesn’t include interest payments. The attorney general’s office, which prosecuted the case, declined comment.<\/p>\n

Kentucky was sixth, followed by Duke, UCLA, Oregon and Louisville.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 UConn has finished the season at No. 1 in The Associated Press women\u2019s basketball poll for the 14th time in school history.<\/p>\n
The Huskies (32-0) were the unanimous choice from the 33-member national media panel on Monday, sitting atop the poll for the last 15 weeks of the season. They\u2019ve won 107 consecutive games and most likely will be the overall No. 1 seed when the women\u2019s NCAA Tournament field is revealed Monday night.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the fourth straight year that the Huskies are the top team in the final poll.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame, South Carolina, Maryland and Baylor follow UConn. The Lady Bears dropped three spots to fifth after losing in the Big 12 title game to West Virginia last week.<\/p>\n

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) \u2014 To some it’s called The Big Dance. It’s the men’s NCAA Tournament, essentially the college basketball playoffs and it all starts tonight in Dayton, Ohio, with the so-called “play in” games.<\/p>\n
This competition involves teams left on the bubble as the Tournament selection committee pondered the seedings.<\/p>\n
Four teams play ahead of the full schedule of games which commences Thursday. Tonight, it’s Wake Forest facing off against Kansas State following the opening game which features Mount St. Mary’s against New Orleans.<\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 Teams chasing a college basketball title are contending with an unexpected wrinkle that’s making last-minute travel plans difficult \u2014 a fierce storm bearing down on the Northeast that’s expected to dump up to two feet of snow in some places and create blizzard-like conditions.<\/p>\n
Villanova, the top overall seed in the men’s NCAA Tournament, left Philadelphia Monday afternoon for Buffalo, New York, to get ahead of a storm that’s projected to last three days. The defending champion Wildcats, who play on Thursday, had an abbreviated press availability with coach Jay Wright, but no player interviews were granted as the team rushed to its flight.<\/p>\n
Providence was leaving early for Dayton, Ohio, for its Wednesday night matchup against Southern California in the First Four, and the Friars had no worries about cancellations because it takes charter flights for away games and can avoid the local airport, according to athletic director Bob Driscoll.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The National Weather Service says there’s good news and bad news about the big winter storm in the Northeast. The dividing line between snow and a wintry mix from the nor’easter pushing through the southern New Jersey-Pennsylvania region has moved farther inland. The good news is forecasters are now expecting less snow. Then bad news is there’s a greater chance of icing. Strong winds are still in the forecast.<\/p>\n
