 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) James River Family Fitness in Jamestown has announced that a decision by the University of Jamestown will close the swimming pool area in the facility beginning July 1, 2015.<\/p>\n

JRFF Executive Director Frank Conlon, says, the growth of the University\u2019s athletic teams has caused the need for more space, and pool area will be converted to a Wrestling Room for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s wrestling programs, slated for the fall of 2015.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been noted by the university that space at UJ\u2019s Hansen Center can no longer accommodate the student-athletes.<\/p>\n

Conlon adds, the Two River Activities Center (TRAC) June 2, 2015, vote for a one percent city sales tax for the initial funding to build the facility, if approved, would rectify the absence of a pool, if approved by voters.<\/p>\n

James River Family Fitness would dissolve and re-locate to the TRAC facility, becoming a part of the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Department.<\/p>\n

Conlon reminds everyone about the good relationship JRFF and prior to that the James River Family YMCA, has had with the college\/university over the years as tenants.<\/p>\n

University of Jamestown President, Robert Badal and other UJ officials have outlined plans for a $50 million capital campaign that includes building and renovating athletic and academic facilities.<\/p>\n

The work at the Larson Center is the first step and will start as soon as possible after the spring semester ends on May 8, 2015.<\/p>\n

The work includes Hansen Center, Lyngstad Center, Nafus Student Center and at the Liechty Center\/Taber Hall. Work will also start on installing a turf practice field southeast of the Larsen Center.<\/p>\n

The $16 million project, involves existing space and new spaces.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Last week, Governor Dalrymple declared a statewide fire emergency in response to abnormally dry conditions, unseasonable temperatures and high winds. In his executive order, Dalrymple issued a burn ban for any county jurisdiction whose daily North Dakota Fire Danger Rating is designated as HIGH, VERY HIGH, or EXTREME, and\/or when a Red Flag Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service. Burning is allowed only when the Fire Danger Rating is either in the LOW or MODERATE categories. The Governor’s declaration\/burn ban encompasses all open burning and includes all of the counties of the state and their incorporated cities.<\/p>\n

In a news release Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist says, unlike burn bans in the past that were declared by the Stutsman County Commission, the Governor’s burn ban prohibits all open burning with no exceptions. It also includes the HIGH category of the Fire Danger Rating system which leaves only the LOW and MODERATE categories that out-door burning can legally take place. And, the Governor’s declaration\/burn ban packs a punch. Any individual who willfully violates the burn ban is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor (NDCC 37-17.1-10.1) punishable by a fine of up to $1000.00 and 30 days in jail.<\/p>\n

The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Department is authorized to issue citations to violators. The Governor’s declaration\/burn ban is in effect through April 15, 2015, unless rescinded or extended.<\/p>\n

Since the burn ban started on April 1st, Stutsman County has experienced three separate grass fires on three separate days. All of them occurred on days where the Fire Danger Rating was MODERATE, meaning that burning on those particular days was allowable. A wait and see position will need to be taken as to whether or not the Governor’s declaration\/burn ban will be rescinded early, expire on April 15, or be extended. If the burn ban is rescinded or expires, Stutsman County Emergency Management will be polling the area fire chiefs to find out whether or not a burn ban should be declared by the County Commission in place of the Governor’s burn ban, and bring such a request to the April 20th<\/sup> meeting.<\/p>\n

If the Governor’s more restrictive burn ban is extended, it will supersede any burn ban that may be approved by the Stutsman County Commission. The fire danger rating is revised each morning and can be found by googling “ND fire danger rating” or by going to Stutsman County’s website http:\/\/www.co.stutsman.nd.us\/<\/a> and clicking on “Fire Danger.” The daily fire danger rating can also be determined by calling the Stutsman County Communications Center at 701-252-1000 and asking for the daily fire danger rating. Any questions or comments relating to the Governor’s declaration\/burn ban should be directed to the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office or the Stutsman County Emergency Manager. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Two Rivers Activity Center Board of Directors has approved a schedule for three community forums\/ workshops prior to the June 2, 2015 special election on a one percent city sales tax to fund the project.<\/p>\n

The forums are scheduled for April 21 at the Gladstone Inn & Suites, April 27 at the Jamestown Middle School\u2019s Thompson Community Room and May 15 at the North Dakota Farmers Union headquarters. All forums begin at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Also, each member of the board of directors is responsible for raising $1,000 toward the organization\u2019s goal of $20,000 for advertising and promotion for the special election.<\/p>\n

In other business, the TRAC board, has set a special meeting on April 22, 2015, at 7-a.m., at the Jamestown Public School\u2019s conference room, to address changes to the by laws that would remove the Jamestown Gymnastics Club\u2019s representative from the board plus, eliminating one at-large community board member position. The action would reduce the size of the board from 11 to nine members.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) In the coming weeks the Jamestown Tourism board will address more ways to promote the Jamestown area, by refocusing efforts toward highlighting the historical significance of the area.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 Jamestown Tourism, Director, Searle Swedlund said another mechanism is planned to include on line web site features, and perhaps a phone number where potential visitors can receive information, and other interactive mechanisms. Tourism\u2019s web site is www.discoverjamestownnd.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Swedlund pointed out that the 2015 Jamestown Tourism Guide is now available, adding that he has brought the publication and trail information to various area camping shows in the region.<\/p>\n

He added that Jamestown Tourism has added a new Office Manager, Emily Bevins, who will begin her responsibilities on April 20th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

She has a degree in Tourism from NDSU, with experience at Bismarck\u2019s Park & Recreation Department.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Taxable sales and purchases in North Dakota during the fourth quarter of last year increased nearly 17 percent from the final three months of 2013.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger says taxable sales and purchases in October, November and December 2014 totaled $7.9 billion.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He says the strong growth is “remarkable” given the declining oil prices during those months. North Dakota oil prices during the quarter were 27 percent lower than the previous year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirteen of the 15 major industry sectors reported gains in taxable sales and purchases. The mining and oil extraction sector saw a 38 percent increase. The retail trade sector was up nearly 5 percent.<\/p>\n

In the region, taxable sales & purchases in the 4th<\/sup> quarter of 2014, and percentage change from the 4th<\/sup> quarter of 2013.<\/p>\n

Barnes $21,594,380 down 9,23%<\/p>\n

Foster $15,948,763 down 21.10%<\/p>\n

Griggs $5,402,119 down 16.66%<\/p>\n

LaMoure Co. $9,399,284 down 29.65%<\/p>\n

Stutsman $68,312,941 down 2.6%<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Jasper Schneider is resigning from the U.S. Department of Agriculture after serving several years in prominent state and federal posts.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schneider was appointed USDA Rural Development state director in September 2009. Last October, he was named acting administrator of the Rural Utilities Service in Washington, D.C.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schneider says he’s stepping down on April 19 to return to the private sector in North Dakota. Federal Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement that Schneider’s “hard work will be missed, but his impact will endure.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Federal safety inspectors says a Houston-based oil company could have prevented a 28-year-old Alabama man’s death by properly maintaining the water hauling tank that exploded while he was working in it in North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued one willful and four serious safety citations against Nabors Completion and Production Services Co. The company faces $97,200 in proposed penalties for allegedly failing to clean the water tank in which Dustin Payne was welding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Payne, of Hazel Green, Alabama, was welding inside the tank when vapors ignited. He was injured in the Oct. 3 explosion and flown to a Minot hospital, where he died five days later.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A call to Nabors was not immediately returned Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is taking comments for 30 days on its final environmental study for the Northwest Area Water Supply project.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The report is another step in the long-delayed project to bring Missouri River water to residents of northwestern North Dakota. Once the comment period is over, the secretary of the Interior will issue a final decision and submit it to a federal judge.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The judge is handling lawsuits filed by Missouri over potential water depletion and the Canadian province of Manitoba over the potential transfer of harmful organisms to its waters. Those lawsuits have held up the project for years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The final environmental study calls for more stringent treatment of the water to prevent transfer of harmful species. It would boost the project cost to $244 million.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state Agriculture Department is holding two public listening sessions this month on specialty crops.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One is Wednesday in Casselton and the second is April 22 in Bismarck. That session will summarize regional sessions held in Dickinson, Minot, Grafton and Casselton.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Agriculture Department is using federal grant money to hold the sessions. It also has used the grant money to expand its Local Foods Initiative, which promotes the production, marketing and consumption of locally grown foods.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says his department is interested in what local producers have to say about the challenges and successes they’ve had. He says the input will help direct the development of future local foods programs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – The northern South Dakota city of Aberdeen might look to western North Dakota to help address a workforce shortage.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kati Bachmayer with Aberdeen Development Corp. says the group wants to find out if there are people interested in moving out of North Dakota’s oil patch because of increases in traffic congestion, crime and the cost of living.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bachmayer says a campaign to recruit North Dakota workers is just an idea at this point. But she says reaching out to longtime western North Dakota residents who are fed up with their change in lifestyle is a possibility.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The American News reports that there are an estimated 1,000 unfilled jobs in Aberdeen, a city of about 27,300 people.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0BOSTON (AP) – Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) has been convicted on all 30 counts in the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. A federal jury in Boston Wednesday found Tsarnaev guilty in the terror attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260. He kept his hands folded in front of him and looked down at the defense table as the guilty verdicts were read. The jury will now decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be sentenced to death or receive life in prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BOSTON (AP) – The conviction in the Boston Marathon bombing case was widely expected, given the startling admission by a defense lawyer during opening statements that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) took part in the bombing. But the lawyer also argued that Tsarnaev’s older brother, Tamerlan, masterminded the attack and enlisted his then-19-year-old brother to help. Prosecutors portrayed the brothers as full partners in a plan to retaliate against the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – There may be some more video of the events leading up to Saturday’s fatal shooting of a black man in South Carolina by a white police officer. Police in North Charleston say a state agency hopes to release dash-cam video that will help shed light on what happened before the shooting. Video taken by a witness shows the officer, Michael Slager, firing eight times at Walter Scott, who was running away. Slager has been charged with murder, and he’s been fired.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – It looks like there’s little common ground among Federal Reserve officials on when they might begin lifting interest rates from record lows. The minutes from the March meeting reveal that several policymakers predicted a rate hike in June. But others — who were concerned about low inflation — didn’t think an increase would be warranted until later this year. And still others said the economy wouldn’t be strong enough for an increase until next year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Forecasters say severe weather developing in the nation’s midsection could be stronger than previously expected. And it could ultimately stretch from the plains of West Texas to the Appalachian (ap-ah-LA’-chihn) Mountains. Heat, humidity and the approach of a jet stream could help generate storms Wednesday afternoon and evening. Strong storms are expected again\u00a0Thursday in the mid-Mississippi River Valley. More than 30 million people are under at least a slight risk of seeing damaging winds, large hail and possibly a tornado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
