It was a good day for incumbents in Tuesday's primary as three won re-election and others won their party's nomination for the November election.

Almost one-third of the county's registered voters, 8,216 out of 25,070, cast ballots in the primary. All results are unofficial. While it was a primary to determine the nominees for the November general elections, three races were being decided as the Republican Party did not mount have any candidates to oppose the Democrats.

The Aug. 19 meeting of Williston's City Council consisted largely of planning and housekeeping items.

The annual modifications to the city's comprehensive plan were presented to the council. This exercise is undertaken each year during the budgeting period. The changes reflect projects undertaken or completed during the previous year and changes in projections for future activity.
