Valley City (CSi) A public hearing was held Monday morning at the Barnes County Highway Department building, by the Barnes County Water Resource District and the Red River Joint Water Resource District, concerning a permit to build an outlet near Hobart Lake.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the outlet is to remove high water as a result of natural overflowing west of Valley City, near or on the edge of both Old Highway 1 and Interstate 94 and to reduce the threat to township roads.<\/p>\n

The proposal includes a plan to bury a pipe along three quarters of a mile and over a half mile of channel improvements to drain the water into the Sheyenne River.<\/p>\n

At Monday\u2019s meeting, those advocating the outlet said it would aid in mitigating flooding that can occur from heavy rainfall, that has happened in the past.<\/p>\n

Landowner Ed Thom has farmland under water and a farm home close to the higher water and supports the project.<\/p>\n

Those opposed to the project say other methods would work such as water retention, which should be looked at before building the estimated $820,000 project, which will come from taxpayers in the form of federal, state and local dollars.<\/p>\n

The Barnes County Water Resource District will vote on the proposed permit at the end of the public comment period.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Regional Airport Authority has set long-range plans.<\/p>\n

At its annual strategic planning session, goals discussed included more passenger capacity, better signage and airport support businesses.<\/p>\n

Regional Airport Authority Chairman Jim Boyd will update the plan and present it to the authority at its March 18 meeting for approval or further revision.<\/p>\n

Boyd says a goal he would like to see in the next two years is getting 10,000 passengers a year through Jamestown Regional Airport.<\/p>\n

At that level the Federal Aviation Administration will give the airport an additional $1 million annually that can be used for any project the authority chooses.<\/p>\n

Boyd adds that he would like the airport get a jetway boarding ramp providing an enclosed space for passengers to enter or exit a UnitedExpress\/SkyWest flight into the terminal building, at an estimated cost of about, $500,000.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Airport Authority Vice Chairman, Jeff Wilhelm says the authority should also let SkyWest Airlines officials know that is a goal for the airport.<\/p>\n

Wilhelm, says the authority and airport staff need to keep working with UnitedExpress\/SkyWest officials to make certain that all parties involved with commercial air service to Jamestown are happy with the arrangement and getting the results they want.<\/p>\n

Airport Manager, Sam Seafedt says on 13th Street Northeast a sign will be put up indicating the entrance to the airport.<\/p>\n

Another summer project is to install signage pointing to where the airport\u2019s long-term parking is, on the west side of the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Other challenges this year, include locating individuals or businesses to lease the newly-built T-hangars, and, getting new fixed based operation services at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – No one was hurt when a public school bus and a sport utility vehicle collided in Fargo.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0The \u00a0crash happened about 8:30 a.m. Monday at a city intersection.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The six children on the bus were transferred to another bus and taken to school.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Legislation is headed to Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s desk that will fast-track $1.1 billion for highways and communities affected by North Dakota’s exploding growth.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Senate voted 46-0 on Monday to approve the “surge funding” bill that is being rushed through the legislative process so projects can begin by summer. Most of the money is slated for the booming oil-producing region in the western part of the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple is expected to sign the bill on Tuesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The legislation includes $450 million in funding for state highway projects. It includes $240 million for the 10 biggest oil-producing counties; $112 million for non-oil-producing counties; $100 million for cities in oil-producing counties; and $198 million for other cities outside the oil patch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota lawmaker’s push to end the state income tax has failed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rep. Scott Louser, a Republican from Minot, introduced the legislation to set state income tax at 0 percent, rather than push for an outright repeal.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House voted 70-23 to kill the bill on Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s House approved a separate bill by a vote of 67-25 on Monday that would reduce individual and corporate income tax by 10 percent.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota collects roughly $500 million in state income tax every year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The last state to eliminate its income tax was Alaska in 1980. Six other states have no income taxes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Budget writers in North Dakota’s House have cut Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s proposal to change the formula used to distribute oil and gas production tax revenue.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The fund currently sets aside 75 percent to the state and 25 percent to local governments. Dalrymple wants a 60-40 split in favor of local governments in the oil patch to address rapid growth.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House Appropriations Committee on Monday amended the formula to give 70 percent to the state and 30 percent to local governments. The measure now goes to the full House, and then to the Senate.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Senate Majority leader Rich Wardner still supports the 60-40 split in favor of local governments. Warder says the Senate won’t act on the proposal until a new oil revenue forecast comes out in mid-March.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Senate has killed a bill that would exempt college students’ contact information from the state’s open records law.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Senate defeated the measure 26-20 on Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Board of Higher Education is pushing the measure.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The move came after Bismarck-based Odney Advertising requested the information during the last campaign season. Odney handles much of the marketing for the state Republican Party.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Democratic leaders complained about the request but Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said the information is public record.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – An expected reduction in state oil tax revenues could mean less money for the Northwest Area Water Supply project.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The governor’s budget included $18 million for NAWS. Minot Public Works Director Dan Jonasson says the Legislature now is considering $10 million.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But Jonasson says there still should be enough money to go ahead with a proposed $20 million expansion of the city’s water treatment plant.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NAWS is to bring Missouri River water to northwestern North Dakota. Officials in Missouri and Canada have held up the project in the courts for years over environmental concerns, but a federal judge is still letting some construction work to proceed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Senate has killed a bill that would allow dental hygienists with advanced training to conduct certain procedures now done by dentists.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Senate defeated the bill 40-6 on Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Supporters of the measure say the legislation was aimed at improving access to dental care in rural North Dakota and on American Indian reservations in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Backers say 40 percent of North Dakota counties have one or fewer dentists.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bill would have created new positions called advanced practice dental hygienists. They would be supervised and employed by dentists but could work outside the office to reach underserved populations.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Dental Association and the state Board of Dental Examiners opposed the idea. Dentists testified earlier that they’re concerned about patient safety.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A charitable trust established by the late hotel and real estate baroness Leona Helmsley is giving North Dakota State University $750,000 to create an endowed scholarship fund for graduate students in American Indian public health.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state of North Dakota is providing another $375,000 through its Higher Education Challenge Fund.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the NDSU master’s program is the only one in the country designed specifically to prepare graduates to work with Native American populations. It will provide four scholarships of about $10,000 each year. The first scholarships will go out for the fall 2016 semester.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Program Director Donald Warne says it will help students financially and benefit underserved citizens. Shelley Stingley with The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust calls it a “pioneering effort.”<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation’s governors are being told that their states will feel the impact, if the Homeland Security Department is forced to shut down because of a lack of funding at week’s end. As the governors visited the White House Momday during their annual conference, President Barack Obama told them that a shutdown “will have a direct impact on your economy” — and on “America’s national security.” But on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans are continuing to hold procedural votes on a measure that would not only fund Homeland Security, it would also roll back Obama’s executive actions on immigration. And that’s why Democrats won’t support it.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNDATED (AP) – The unusually cold weather that is again settling into much of the country is taking its toll on water mains. A number of breaks and leaks are reported in the Washington, D.C. area, and also around Detroit. Wind chills are expected to dive below zero in northern parts of the United States starting\u00a0Monday \u00a0afternoon. Parts of Michigan have already seen readings of ten below zero — not counting the wind chill.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A single mother of four from North Carolina is one of three winners in a huge Powerball jackpot drawn earlier this month. At a news conference, 26-year-old Marie Holmes said the best thing about the lucky ticket in the $564 million jackpot is that she’ll be able to provide for her children. They’re all under 7, and one has cerebral palsy. Flanked by her lawyer and her financial adviser, she said she’d give money to her church, and use some to travel. She and her family live in a trailer.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) – The president of Connecticut’s Wesleyan University says 10 students and two visitors received medical treatment after taking a version of the party drug known as Molly over the weekend. He says eight are still hospitalized. Molly is a term used to describe a refined form of Ecstasy, a synthetic drug also known as MDMA. It can drive up body temperature and cause liver, kidney or cardiovascular failure. The school president is urging any students aware of anyone distributing the drug to come forward, “before more people are hurt.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – After sitting out last season because of a drug-related suspension, New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has arrived at the team’s spring training camp in Tampa, Florida — three days ahead of schedule. He’s lost his job at third base while he was away — the Yankees say he’ll now have to compete for plate appearances as designated hitter. A-Rod turns 40 in July, and hasn’t played a full season since 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
