Good morning, Minot.

Ruth Henson, an 88-year-old Navy veteran who served as a hospital corpsman during the Korean War era, was one of three women on last month’s Western ND Honor Flight—her visit to the Navy Memorial marked her first time there.

She now spends her days reading and crocheting as she reflects on the sacrifices her family made.

A Minot man, Justyn M.

Smith, faced four terrorizing charges after restaurant employees said he dry-fired a green BB gun resembling a firearm at a southwest restaurant, forcing staff to evacuate to the parking lot—he made his initial court appearance on Thursday and is set to return on July 3.

Minot residents will have the opportunity to attend an open house and info meeting about the South Burdick Tie Back Levee phase on June 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Minot Auditorium—project engineers will explain the design work, project schedule and what to expect as the flood protection project moves forward.

The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services confirmed four measles cases in Grand Forks County and one in Burke County, raising the statewide total to 28.

The department said an affected person in Burke County had traveled to Williams County and exposed people at sites in Crosby—Lindsey's Grocery Store and Dollar General, advising those exposed to monitor for symptoms for 21 days.

Forecasters say heavy smoke from wildfires in Canada is headed our way and the ND Department of Environmental Quality urged residents to keep windows closed, limit outdoor activity, and recirculate indoor air—especially if they see or smell smoke.

The Industrial Commission approved new eligibility limits for home buying assistance programs that help first-time buyers with lower interest rates, down payments, and closing costs.

The programs set income limits from $93,500 to $110,000 and keep a single-family home cost limit of $481,176 (higher limits apply for multi-unit properties).

On Thursday, the Minot Majettes tennis team won the dual state championship by beating Grand Forks Red River 5+0.
