Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The summer of 2019 was great for tourism in Jamestown, that according to Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund.<\/p>\n

\"\"On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Searle pointed out that the National Buffalo Museum recorded an 85 percent increase in admissions so far this year, adding that gift shop sales also increased.\u00a0 He said the Museum successfully leverages its resources.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Other sites in Jamestown continue to attract tourists, such as an increase in visitors last summer at Fort Seward, which is planning to added four tents to the grounds and Civil War historic displays are in the planning stages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Searle added Jamestown continues to offer successful and unique visitor opportunities, such as the 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse, which plans to offer additional visitor experiences such as adding equipment, and period clothing, to highlight the 1883 Courthouse as \u201ca center for government.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the trails at Jamestown Reservoir will see improvements, anticipated next spring.<\/p>\n

Searle pointed out that making the visitors experience, \u201cunique,\u201d draws more tourists, and possibly creating a longer stay in town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"He added the gate count at Frontier Village was down less than five percent last summer. He said that Frontier Village has been approached to make its visitors experience more unique, and \u201ccome alive,\u201d while generating resources.<\/p>\n

He said the Village\u2019s structures are in need of major repairs, and funding from tourism most likely will not be able to provide the needed capital for updating the buildings.<\/p>\n

At the October 17 tourism meeting, grant requests will be heard under the Promotion Capital Construction Fund.<\/p>\n

Those include from Jamestown Parks and recreation for addition funding for improvements to the Jack Brown Stadium\u2019s bleacher seating, which was partially funded in the March 1 grant request.<\/p>\n

He said Ft. Seward to request a grant for four tents at the grounds and for Civil War displays.<\/p>\n

The 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse will request funds for items in an effort to become a \u201ccenter for government.\u201d<\/p>\n

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) \u2014 Two women accused of damaging valves and setting fire to construction equipment along an oil pipeline that crosses Iowa and three other states have been indicted on federal charges in the case.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors for Iowa said Tuesday that a grand jury on Sept. 19 indicted Jessica Reznicek and Ruby Montoya on nine counts each, including conspiracy, use of fire in the commission of a felony and malicious use of fire.<\/p>\n

The women claimed in a statement they released in 2017 that they had burned construction machinery, cut through pipe valves with a torch and set fires with gasoline, rags and tires along the Dakota Access pipeline route. The $3.8 billion pipeline crosses North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois.<\/p>\n

It was not clear whether the women yet have attorneys. Publicly-listed phone numbers for the women could not be found Tuesday.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The proposed presidential library for Theodore Roosevelt in western North Dakota now has a CEO.<\/p>\n

The board of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum voted Tuesday to appoint Edward F. O’Keefe to lead the organization.<\/p>\n

Gov. Doug Burgum calls O’Keefe “the best person” to take the proposed library “to the next level.”<\/p>\n

O’Keefe is a North Dakota native who is writing a book on Roosevelt, who spent more than three years in North Dakota in the 1880s.<\/p>\n

Burgum has made the library a top priority<\/a> of his administration. State legislators in April approved $50 million to operate the library, but that must be matched by $100 million in private money.<\/p>\n

O’Keefe will join Burgum and Interior Secretary David Bernhardt along with Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer on a tour of Medora on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In world and national news..<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Ukraine’s president says no one explained to him why U.S. military aid to his country was delayed.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told reporters Tuesday that he stressed the importance of the military aid repeatedly in discussions with President Donald Trump, but “it wasn’t explained to me” why the money didn’t come through until September.<\/p>\n

The Office of Management and Budget staff said the $250 million in funding had been delayed because Trump was consulting with his national security team about it.<\/p>\n

While delaying the aid, Trump asked the Ukrainian leader in a July phone call to “look into” his Democratic rival Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Zelenskiy insisted Tuesday that “it is impossible to put pressure on me.” He also said he has never met or spoken with Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has pushed for an investigation into Biden’s son Hunter, who was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.<\/p>\n

HONG KONG (AP) \u2014 Pro-Beijing protesters have scuffled briefly with a small group of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong as the latter began to march on the 70th anniversary of the founding of communist China.<\/p>\n

The 7:30 a.m. march Tuesday was the start of what is expected to be a day of protests in the semiautonomous Chinese city.<\/p>\n

The protesters marched as the government was holding an annual ceremony to mark the anniversary of Communist Party rule.<\/p>\n

Police lined up to try to keep the two groups apart, but some minor scuffles ensued. Two pro-Beijing protesters were arrested.<\/p>\n

The Hong Kong protests come as China prepares to mark the anniversary in Beijing with a major military parade and festivities.<\/p>\n

DALLAS (AP) \u2014 Attorneys representing the family of a black man killed in his own apartment by a white Dallas police officer called a guilty verdict in the case “a huge victory.”<\/p>\n

Attorney Lee Merritt, who represents the family of Botham Jean, says Tuesday’s verdict against Amber Guyger is “a signal that the tide is going to change here.”<\/p>\n

A jury in Dallas convicted Guyger on Tuesday of murder for the September 2018 death of Jean.<\/p>\n

Guyger testified that she entered Jean’s apartment by mistake and killed him, thinking he was an intruder in her home.<\/p>\n

Another Jean family attorney, Ben Crump, called the victim “a near perfect person of color” but said that shouldn’t be a requirement for people of color to get justice in the United States.<\/p>\n

A gag order for prosecutors and defense attorneys and witnesses remains in effect until after Guyger’s sentencing, which is expected to begin later Tuesday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 Republican congressman Mark Amodei of Nevada stars in a cautionary tale about how a supporter of President Donald Trump can land in hot water when discussing the House impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n

Last Friday in a call with reporters, the Reno-area congressman was asked what he thought of the probe. He said it should be “put through the process and see what happens.” That was widely interpreted as an endorsement of the investigation.<\/p>\n

Within an hour or so, Amodei was explaining himself to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and drawing angry Facebook posts from angry Republicans. Amodei tried to tamp down the fury by saying he doesn’t support impeachment.<\/p>\n

Other Republicans facing questions about impeachment likely took note of Amodei’s predicament and the rocky road ahead in a highly charged partisan environment.<\/p>\n
