Bismarck (CSi-NDNG) A North Dakota Army National Guard unit has received an alert notification for possible mobilization. About 30 members of the Fargo-based 191st Military Police Company were placed in an alert status. The decision to mobilize this unit has not yet occurred, but upon a final decision, an official U.S. Army mobilization order will be published. The unit has detachments in Mayville and Bismarck.

If mobilized, the unit will provide military police operations support to U.S. and coalition forces, in Afghanistan early in 2018.

Maj. Gen. Alan S. Dohrmann, North Dakota adjutant general, says, “I have complete confidence in the ability and professional competence of the leaders and Soldiers in our military police unit to accomplish their assigned missions. I remain appreciative of the tremendous support demonstrated by our Guard families, employers and friends during all of our domestic and overseas missions.”

The Soldiers were notified of their alert status by their leadership. The 191st Military Police Company specializes in law enforcement activities, mobility support operations, area security, detention operations, and criminal investigations in support of joint contingency efforts worldwide. They also execute domestic operations with emphasis on police and detention operations in support of state and civil authorities. About 30 Soldiers of the unit served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from 2012-2013, and about 180 Soldiers served in Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008-2009.

The 191st Military Police Company is led by Capt. Jacob Danduran, of Fargo, and 1st Sgt. Jennifer Gowan, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Soldiers in the unit hail from nearly 70 communities across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.

The 136th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB), based in Devils Lake, North Dakota, is the only other North Dakota Army National Guard unit that’s also in an alert status.

Since the 2001 terrorist attacks on America, the North Dakota National Guard has mobilized more than 4,200 Soldiers and over 2,600 Airmen in support of the Global War on Terrorism. About 70 percent of all members serving today have joined since that time. With a total force of about 4,100 Guardsmen, the North Dakota National Guard remains ready for stateside response and national defense. For every 10,000 citizens in North Dakota, 65 serve in the North Dakota National Guard, a rate that’s more than four times the national average.

Jamestown (CSi) Update…The Anne Carlsen Center in Jamestown celebrates its 75^th Anniversary, on Friday September 23, 2016, with several events, a community celebration honoring the unforgettable individuals who have built a legacy of hope and independence.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Felicia Sargeant from ACC pointed out that when the facility opened in 1941 it was first called “The Crippled Childrens School,” with 18 children enrolled. She said over the years the name was changed to more accurately reflect the mission, and wider variety of services provided.

In the 1980’s the name was changed to The Anne Carlsen School, and the it became The Anne Carlsen Center, in 2008.

Dr. Anne Carlsen was first a teacher and then the Principal.

Currently the Anne Carlsen Center’s Jamestown campus has 54 students enrolled.

Anne Carlsen Center services are also provided in Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Bismarck, Minot and Bottineau, currently serving 2,600.

There will also be a designated “expo area” to visit before and after the program.

This area will feature the vendors with which the Anne Carlsen Center does business. Each program within the Anne Carlsen Center will also have a booth that will provide more insight into their program. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the programs within the Anne Carlsen Center and meet those businesses that help ACC with what they do for their residents and their families.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s oil production increased by about 2,375 barrels a day in July, after dropping by about 20,000 barrels the month before.

The Department of Mineral Resources says the state produced an average of 1.029 million barrels of oil daily in July, up from 1.027 million barrels in June. North Dakota’s production record was set in December 2014 at 1.22 million barrels daily.

North Dakota also produced 1.69 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in July, up from 1.66 billion cubic feet daily in June.

The July tally is the latest figure available because oil production numbers typically lag at least two months.

There were 33 drill rigs operating in North Dakota’s oil patch on Friday, which is up two rigs from the July average.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s top law enforcement official has banned a Bismarck man from doing business in North Dakota.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says that Ryan Dietz, owner of Today’s Homework, has committed repeated violations of consumer fraud laws.

Stenehjem says investigators learned in July 2015 that Dietz had failed to renew his contractor’s license but was soliciting contracts in excess of $4,000. The attorney general says Dietz then violated a proposed agreement to resolve the licensing violation.

The order bans Dietz and his company from advertising or soliciting for contracting work for five years and until he has paid back $132,526 owed to homeowners.

A phone number for Dietz could not be located.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota health officials are warning about blue-green algae in the Des Lacs River in Ward and Renville counties, northwest of Minot.

Officials say people and animals should avoid contact with the river water, especially in areas where there is a green or blue-green appearance. Exposure from ingesting affected water can cause illness in people and animals, and in some cases can result in death.

The production of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, often happens during hot weather in bodies of water that are used by people, pets, and livestock.

Blue-green algae discolor the water they live in, and can cause foam, scum, or mats to appear on the surface.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — A Devils Lake man found beating a sport utility vehicle with a broom during a burglary has been sentenced.

19-year-old Colton Feather will be on supervised probation for 18 months. He received a suspended sentence of 18 months in prison after he entered an Alford plea to a felony count of burglary.

An Alford plea is one in which a defendant acknowledges there was sufficient evidence for conviction but does not admit guilt.

A Devils Lake homeowner in July found Feather in a garage beating the SUV. The station reports Feather swung the broom at the homeowner and asked him, “Do you want to die?”

Officers later located Feather walking nearby. Feather admitted in court that he has no recollection of the incident because he was intoxicated.

Update…

NEAR THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge in Bismarck has dropped a temporary restraining order against Standing Rock Sioux tribal leaders who were sued by the company developing the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline.

Dakota Access LLC filed the complaint last month against Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II and others from interfering with pipeline construction north of the Standing Rock reservation.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ruled Friday that a previous restraining order was “simply an ‘obey-the-law’ injunction” and he expects the tribal leaders to protest lawfully.

Hovland noted that many of the “troublesome” protesters are “from out-of-state who have political interests in the pipeline protest and hidden agendas vastly different and far removed from the legitimate interests” of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which argues the pipeline could taint water sources and is decimating sacred sites.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A program that allows North Dakota parents who are behind on child support to catch up is encouraging more of them to pay.

The Child Support Program of the North Dakota Department of Human Services says 307 people entered payment plans in June and July, that’s twice as many people than usual. Eighty-seven percent of people who signed up for agreements in June made their second payment in July.

The program granted amnesty and returned suspended driver’s licenses to anyone who set up a payment plan. For every $2 a person paid toward past-due support, the agency credited $1 toward accrued interest or state-owed money.

The newspaper reports that the reduction in past-due support, counting payments and the match, added up to about $108,000.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A $92 million convention, recreation and athletic center is opening in the oil patch community of Watford City.

The Bismarck Tribune reports residents will get to walk through the 268,000-square-foot facility for the first time Friday. The complex will open for business Sept. 24.

The facility includes a swimming pool, two sheets of hockey ice, a gymnastics center and climbing wall, multiple courts for volleyball and basketball, a batting cage and a walking track. It also includes a convention and banquet venue. A tunnel connects it to the high school.

The city is using $52 million of its share of oil gross production tax revenue to cover a portion of the project’s cost. A share of the city’s 1.5-cent sales tax will go toward a $40 million bond payment.

In world and national news…

DALLAS (AP) — Motorists in parts of the country could pay a little more for gasoline in coming days because of the shutdown of a leaking pipeline in Alabama.

But experts say that any spike in service-station prices will be felt most in the Southeast and should only be temporary.

Colonial Pipeline Co. doesn’t expect to fully reopen its primary gasoline pipeline, which has spilled more than 250,000 gallons near Birmingham, until next week. The pipeline is used to send gasoline from refineries on the Texas Gulf coast to states in the Southeast and along the East Coast.

Colonial said that supply disruptions would be felt first in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Congressional Black Caucus is calling Donald Trump a “disgusting fraud.” Democratic Congressman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina spoke after Trump Friday reversed course and said he accepts that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Trump had disputed that fact for years. Other members of the Black Caucus told reporters that Trump has tried to delegitimize Obama.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Hillary Clinton sees it, it’s “asinine” for Donald Trump to suggest that he’s done a “great service” to President Barack Obama by putting the “birther” issue to rest. Trump Friday again said the issue had first been raised by Clinton’s campaign in 2008 — something that isn’t backed up by any evidence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says U.S. troops for the first time are operating alongside Turkish government forces who are fighting Islamic State militants inside Syria. A Pentagon spokesman says the American special operations forces are accompanying Turkish troops who are operating with moderate Syrian opposition forces. He said the Americans are providing the same training, advice and other assistance that U.S. forces have been providing to other Syrian groups.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican senator who oversees the U.S. foreign aid budget says Israel made a mistake by signing a $38 billion security agreement with the Obama administration. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could have gotten a better deal if he had waited until President Barack Obama left office. He says Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump would be willing to give Israel more military aid. The security deal is the largest such agreement the U.S. ever has had with any country. Graham says he opposes it because it would block Congress from giving Israel even more aid.

CHICAGO (AP) — London’s mayor is looking to reassure American investors, tourists and students that his city will remain open for business — despite Britain’s decision to withdraw from the European Union. Sadiq Khan is on his first visit to the United States since becoming London’s first Muslim mayor. In Chicago, he told reporters that Donald Trump is playing “into the hands of extremists” with hostile rhetoric toward Muslims.
