Jamestown (CSi) Mrs. North Dakota America Eliza Potratz of Jamestown, and her Adopt an Angel program presents The Great Gatsby Gala on Saturday February 14, 2015, at the Gladstone Inn & Suites.<\/p>\n

The event begins with a silent auction at 6:30 p.m. with the dance at 8 p.m. Saturday. Costumes are optional.<\/p>\n

There is no cost to attend the event.<\/p>\n

The Roarin\u2019 \u201920s style event is a freewill fundraiser for Adopt an Angel.<\/p>\n

She started the charity two years ago in honor of her father, a retired police officer and Vietnam veteran.<\/p>\n

Eliza says four 2015 Mrs. North Dakota contestants will be on hand to help with the event.<\/p>\n

The evening will include a silent auction, dance, photos with props, candy bar and the chance to write your Valentine a love letter.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that a dinner previously planned as part of the event will not be held.<\/p>\n

This year, funds raised will benefit veteran Jim Stone, who was Eliza\u2019s<\/p>\n

college adviser, professor of criminal justice and sociology at the University of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The funds will go to Jamestown Regional Medical Center\u2019s Hospice Program.<\/p>\n

She said, Stone\u2019s wife recently passed away from cancer.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that she helps veterans because both of her parents are veterans and has seen local veterans needs.<\/p>\n

She chooses different primary beneficiaries every year. Last year, a fundraiser, “Rock to Adopt,” benefited the Adopt an Angel<\/p>\n

From that she was able to donate $1,000 to the Cops N Kids, along with Christmas stockings filled with goodies and toys for children at Lincoln Elementary School and gift cards to some at the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n

She hopes to raise at least $5,000, this year.<\/p>\n

After her reign as Mrs. North Dakota, America ends in May this year, she hopes to continue to have the annual fundraiser for her Adopt an Angel program.<\/p>\n

For more information on the fundraiser, email adoptanangel@gmail.com<\/span><\/a><\/span> or call Eliza Potratz at (701) 368-0150.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also an account for donations is set up at Gate City Bank.<\/p>\n

Washington (CSi) Senator John Hoeven has announced that North Dakota housing authorities have received more than $1.8 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) Capital Fund Program.<\/p>\n

The funds are for capital and management activities to help modernize and develop public housing as well as pay down debt if necessary.<\/p>\n

In the area, the Barnes County Housing Authority received $50,791<\/p>\n

Hoeven says, “The demand for affordable housing in North Dakota, especially in western North Dakota, will hold strong over the long term. These HUD grants will help us ensure that we have public housing to meet the needs of our expanding workforce and population.”<\/p>\n

\u3000WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State College of Science is seeking more help from the state crime bureaus in North Dakota and Minnesota as campus police continue investigating the death of a student.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The college has issued a statement saying it’s the “appropriate next step” in the investigation into the death of 20-year-old Andrew Sadek. He disappeared last May and his body was found in the Red River in late June. An autopsy concluded he died of a gunshot wound to the head.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sadek was working for a regional drug task force as a confidential informant a few months before he died. His mother, Tammy Sadek, believes he was murdered.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An independent state review concluded that the drug task force handled its dealings with Sadek properly.<\/p>\n

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) – Moorhead police say a vehicle spotted near where the body of a slain North Dakota State University student was found in September is not connected to his homicide investigation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police earlier this week released surveillance video of the car that spent a couple minutes in a parking lot next to the recreational vehicle store in Moorhead where the body of Thomas Bearson was discovered.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Investigators say the vehicle and its owner were identified through tips from the public.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say 18-year-old Bearson, of Sartell, Minnesota, died as the result of homicidal violence. A medical examiner’s report was released last week, but investigators have released few details from the autopsy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The FBI plans to develop a suspect profile based on specific details of the crime.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A 30-year-old Dickinson man is dead following a head-on crash in western North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Highway Patrol says the incident happened when a pickup truck traveling south on State Avenue in Dickinson failed to maintain its lane and collided with a northbound semi-tanker. The driver of the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-three-year-old Joe Saucedo was accused in the November 2013 death of 33-year-old Ruben Cisneros, who was found stabbed to death at his rural home. Authorities say Saucedo and several others went to the home to retrieve belongings of Cisneros’ ex-girlfriend.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Saucedo pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of murder and conspiracy to commit burglary, and was sentenced to 50 years in prison with 20 years suspended. He also was ordered to pay $525 in restitution.

Update….<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota legislative committee has endorsed a bill that would prohibit the governor from appointing a successor to a vacant U.S. Senate seat.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House Government and Veterans Affairs Committee voted 8-6 to give the measure a “do-pass” recommendation Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Rep. Roscoe Streyle (STRY’-lee) has called the measure a “pre-emptive strike” should freshman North Dakota U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp consider a run for governor next year and win.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The legislation would require a special election to be held 95 days after a U.S. Senate seat is vacated.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Streyle says the goal is to allow voters to choose the successor instead of the governor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota law already requires a special election if the state’s lone U.S. House seat is vacated.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) – The confusion surrounding the legality of same-sex marriages in Alabama could ease somewhat, after a federal court hearing Thursday. The same federal judge who overturned the state’s ban on same-sex marriages is being asked to force Mobile County Probate Judge Don Davis to issue gay marriage licenses. Davis, along with other probate judges, has refused to do so. He says the judge’s order conflicts with one from Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who declared that probate judges don’t have to issue the licenses.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) – The fathers of the three Muslim students who were shot and killed in their North Carolina apartment say they want Americans to know that they were victims of a hate crime. Craig Hicks is charged with first-degree murder in the shootings that police have said stemmed from a long-running parking dispute. But the father of two of the victims says they were “targeted for their religion.” Thousands of mourners gathered today for funeral and prayer services for the three.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The head of the FBI is stepping squarely into the national debate over police conduct and the interactions between officers and minority communities. James Comey says the nation is at a crossroads on matters of race relations and law enforcement — and that there are some “hard truths” that the public and police must confront. Speaking at Georgetown University in Washington, Comey said there still hasn’t been a “healthy dialogue” on the issue.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINSK, Belarus (AP) – There are a lot of hurdles to overcome before the peace deal for Ukraine that was agreed upon overnight can be implemented. The plan that was worked out by leaders of Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany requires Ukraine’s parliament to give broad powers to the country’s eastern regions — although Ukraine’s president says it doesn’t mean autonomy. There are also plans for a cease-fire — but Russia and Ukraine aren’t in agreement over just how that would take effect.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Scientists warn the Southwest and Central Plains could face “megadroughts” during the second half of this century. And they could last for decades. The scientists write in a study in the journal Science Advances that global warming will lead to “unprecedented drought conditions” — the worst in more than 1,000 years. The Southwest will see less rain. But the biggest problem in both regions will be the heat, which the authors say will increase evaporation and dry out the soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
