\u00a0Jamestown (CSi) The Frontier Village Association Board of Directors has elected Nellie Degen as a new board member with one decenting vote, from board member Ann Hess.<\/p>\n

FVB President, Charlie Tanata said the board previously voted to advertise the position in the newspaper three times, with each ad giving instructions for written consent for a willingness to be on the board.

Washington (CSi) <\/b>U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Thursday announced $400,000 in federal funding for needed updates at the Ellendale and Jamestown airports.<\/p>\n

Heitkamp says, “An important part of keeping North Dakotans strong and safe in their communities is having reliable and safe transportation infrastructure. Many of our regional airports have felt the stress of North Dakota\u2019s population growth, but with strong federal investments \u2013 like these funds provide \u2013 we can continue to make sure all North Dakotans are safe.”<\/p>\n

These funds, authorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation, are distributed as follows:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Ellendale Municipal Airport – $300,000.<\/b> These funds will be used to rehabilitate the current runway lighting system to improve safety for pilots during low visibility conditions.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Airport – $100,000. These funds will be used to reduce hazardous wildlife attractants and improve safety through wetland mitigation.<\/p>\n

In May, as part of her Strong & Safe Communities Initiative<\/a>, <\/span>brought together community leaders from Bismarck, Minot, and surrounding towns<\/a> to discuss the state\u2019s transportation infrastructure needs. The discussion focused on the importance of building and expanding roads and bridges across North Dakota to both improve safety and keep up with the increase of traffic on the roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also making the announcement U.S. Senator John Hoeven said, “Our airports play a critical role in North Dakota\u2019s economic success,” Hoeven said. “Today\u2019s DOT grants to the airport authorities in Jamestown and Ellendale will help keep pilots and passengers safe, and will allow these airports to continue to provide great service to central and south central North Dakota.”<\/p>\n

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Hoeven works to support programs that invest in infrastructure and other services to meet the needs of North Dakota\u2019s growing population and commerce.<\/p>\n

Representative Kevin Cramer added, “Access to quality transportation is important for rural states like North Dakota. These funds provide resources for the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority to improve their facilities to serve the needs of their community.<\/p>\n

Carrington (CSi) Rural Glenfield resident, Josh Dreher has been appointed to the Foster County Commissioners Board.<\/p>\n

The 33-year old will take over for Bill Bauer, who resigned last month due to health reasons.<\/p>\n

Dreher was the only applicant, and was on the November 2014 general election ballot.<\/p>\n

With the recent resignation of Bauer and the resignation of commissioner Leslie Gregor late last November, two spots needed to be filled. Earlier this year, Gregor was replaced by Pat Copenhaver, who was also on the November 2014 ballot.<\/p>\n

During the Foster County Special Commission meeting, State\u2019s Attorney Paul Murphy said that there were only two options, either accept Dreher, or reject all the applicants and start over.<\/p>\n

Dreher said that he will continue working for Bessette Motors of Carrington while serving as a commissioner. Dreher grew up on a family farm near the Lake Jaunita area and lives with his wife and four children in rural Glenfield.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Senior military leaders from North Dakota say Congress should resist attempts to water down a bill that sets nutrition standards in schools.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Retired Generals Michael Haugen, Keith Bjerke, Jerald Engelman and Robert Schulte say a 2010 bill that promotes healthier meals in schools is a good step toward reversing the obesity epidemic and the legislation should be reauthorized.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The group cites a Department of Defense study showing that 73 percent of 17- to 24-year-old residents in the Dakotas are not currently eligible for military service, and obesity is a major reason.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The generals are asking the state’s congressional delegation to oppose attempts to weaken or roll back current guidelines.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota Senators John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and Congressman Kevin Cramer were not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n

WIMBLEDON…<\/p>\n

LONDON (AP) –\u00a0\u00a0 It’s men’s semifinals day at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic has taken the first set, in a tiebreaker.<\/p>\n

The defending champion wasn’t perfect, but he leads Richard Gasquet 7-6 (2) Friday in the Wimbledon semifinals.<\/p>\n

Gasquet surprisingly beat Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, and he’s doing well so far on Centre Court against Djokovic. The 21-set-seeded Frenchman was broken in his first service game, but bounced right back with a break of his own to get back on serve, using his devastating backhand to trouble the top-seeded Serb throughout the set.<\/p>\n

Djokovic was too good in the tiebreaker, however.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams is one win away from her 21st Grand Slam championship and fourth in a row. The top seed advanced to the women’s final at Wimbledon with a 6-2, 6-4 win over fourth-seed Maria Sharapova (shah-rah-POH’-vah). Williams will now face 20th seed Garbine Muguruza (gahr-BEEN’-yeh moo-guh-ROO’-zuh) for the title. The Spaniard advanced to her first Grand Slam final with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win over 13th seed Agnieszka Radwanska (ahg-nee-ESH’-kuh rahd-VAHN’-skuh).<\/p>\n

TOUR….<\/p>\n

Czech rider Zdenek Stybar won the race in a sprint finish, while defending champion Vincenzo Nibali of Italy was caught in a crash near to the finish. In the ensuing confusion of the crash Stybar rode ahead unchallenged to clinch the victory. Both Nabali and Martin were able to finish the race but news of Martin’s withdrawal came hours later.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Riders took to the start of the seventh stage of the crash-marred Tour de France on Friday with no rider wearing the yellow jersey after race leader Tony Martin broke his collarbone at the end of Thursday’s stage.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With Martin out, British rider Chris Froome is now in the overall lead – but the 2013 Tour champion did not wear the jersey as mark of respect for the German, who underwent an operation early Friday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The stage is another one for sprinters.<\/p>\n

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – The Confederate flag is scheduled to come down from its spot outside the South Carolina Statehouse this morning.

The suspect appeared in photos brandishing the Confederate flag. Democratic Rep. Justin Bamberg says Dylann Roof wrapped his hate “in the cloak of that Confederate flag” and that is why the flag is coming down.\u00a0
