OMAHA, Neb KCSi-T.V. News Aug 28, 2013) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports, as the flood control storage at Pipestem Reservoir nears evacuation, releases were reduced from 600 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 500 cfs on August 26, 2013.<\/p>\n

\u00a0STEELE, N.D. (AP) – A Texas man is on trial in North Dakota for allegedly burning down a motel in the town of Steele.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fifty-one-year-old Allen Thomas, of Houston, has pleaded not guilty to one count of arson and 18 counts of endangering by fire. Authorities allege that Thomas used a cigarette lighter to ignite a mattress about a year ago because he was upset that the hotel owners had helped his girlfriend after the two had argued.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one was hurt in the fire but it displaced about two dozen people and destroyed the business.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0The \u00a0prosecutor this week told jurors that Thomas set the fire out of anger, while the defense attorney said witness testimony will show that Thomas is innocent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) – Rural airports in North Dakota that are seeing an increase in business because of the western oil boom are getting millions of dollars in state oil impact grants.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Legislature earlier this year approved $60 million over the two-year budget period to help deal with the growth.\u00a0 The state Aeronautics Commission is in charge of doling out the money.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Commission aviation planner Kyle Wanner says the Mohall airport is a good case study of what’s happening in western North Dakota. He says the small airport went from housing three airplanes to 25 within just one year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wanner says many small airports weren’t designed to handle such an increase, and they need money for improvements.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The last airplane has departed from the North Dakota Air National Guard base in Fargo, after more than 65 years of flying missions.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 119th Wing that was founded in 1947 has made the move to unmanned aircraft systems after flying fighter jets for 50 years and most recently transport planes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The airmen for the unit have been known as the Happy Hooligans since the 1950s. Three of Hooligans in F-16 fighter planes patrolled the skies over Washington D.C. after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The last F-16 was flown from Fargo to McChord Air Force Base Museum near Tacoma, Wash., in December 2006, when the base switched to the C-21 Learjet.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The lone remaining C-21 took off from the Fargo base Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Federal prosecutors say a man has been arraigned on civil rights and threat charges for threatening a synagogue in Fargo.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon and Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Jocelyn Samuels says Dominique Jason Flanigan was indicted under seal by a grand jury on Dec. 12 on charges of transmitting threatening communication and interfering with a federally protected activity.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The indictment alleges that Flanigan called Temple Beth El in Fargo in January 2011 and left a voice mail message threatening the employees of the synagogue. The indictment charges that the threat intimidated and interfered with Temple Beth El employees because of their religion.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court records show that Flanigan was arrested on Monday. Attorney information for Flanigan was not listed.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Insurance agents and farmers say they’re pleased with efforts by the federal Risk Management Agency to clarify rules for prevented planting insurance.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The insurance pays farmers if their cropland is too wet or dry to plant. But they must meet certain rules to qualify, and confusion over those rules led many Upper Midwest farmers to wonder if they would qualify on land they couldn’t plant last spring because of wet weather.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s congressional delegation asked the Risk Management Agency to clarify the rules, and the agency has done so starting with the 2014 crop year. RMA Administrator Brandon Willis met with North Dakota farmers on Tuesday about the changes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both the North Dakota Farmers Union and the North Dakota Corn Growers Association say they’re happy to see the changes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Game and Fish Department officials have decided to hold off at least a year before starting a lottery for paddlefish snagging.

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The executive director of the 2013 Babe Ruth World Series says years of hard work planning for the event paid off and he couldn’t be more pleased with how Williston hosted the competition.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Williston Herald reports that when area leaders began planning for the event several years ago, many were concerned that hotels in the western oil patch city would lack adequate space for incoming guests.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Larry Grondahl says that many more hotels have since been built, and space in the past year has become a non-issue.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Committee members will return to their jobs before beginning work in a year and a half on the next world series in 2016. Grondahl says for now, he’ll sit back and enjoy the memories and experiences of the 2013 event.

NEW YORK (AP) – Tennis players around the world have learned plenty from Rafael Nadal (rah-fay-ehl nah-DAHL’). But Nadal learned something yesterday from a 12-year-old from Spindale, N.C. Conner Stroud was born without hips, ankles, femurs or knees, but that hasn’t stopped him from playing in and sometimes winning tennis tournaments against able-bodied kids. Stroud spent some time with Nadal, who says the youngster is a big example for him and “a great example that you can be happy even if life doesn’t give you everything.”<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

GENEVA (AP) – Evidence suggests some kind of chemical “substance” was used in an attack that killed hundreds of people in Syria. That’s according to U.N. special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi (LAHK’-dar bra-HEE’-mee), who adds that any military strike on Syria must have U.N. Security Council approval. A U.N. inspection team is investigating last week’s alleged poison gas attack near Damascus.\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – Momentum is building toward Western military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad. Britain says it will offer a resolution today to the U.N. Security Council condemning the Syrian government for the alleged chemical attack that has killed hundreds of civilians and seeking authorization for “necessary measures to protect civilians.” Meanwhile, the Obama administration continues to define the central objectives of a potential military strike. It’s concerned about possible Syrian reprisals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
