Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School Board discussed the School Improvement Process at Monday evening’s meeting.

Jamestown Middle School Principal Ryan Harty said that AdvancED would be activated in the 2017-18 year to study school staff, students, parents, curriculum and many other areas.

The AdvancED study is every five years, for the entire Jamestown Public School District occurring in 2008 and in 2013. The external review team will spend a week reviewing the entire school district.

Superintendent Rob Lech will be awaiting the board’s Superintendent Evaluation, saying that he has completed his self-evaluation and made it available for all board members.

The meeting was recorded by CSi 10 The Replay Channel with showings to start Tuesday.

MEDINA, N.D. (AP) – Officials at a livestock feed business destroyed in a grain elevator fire in Medina this weekend say work will continue as normal out of another location until the company can rebuild.

Diamond W Feeds General Manager Kenny Hoffer says its building, as much as 60,000 bushels of corn and some feed products were destroyed in the Sunday night blaze.

Hoffer says the building’s up-to-date heat detection system went off around 7 p.m. Sunday.

Medina Fire Chief Brian Rau says firefighters believe the blaze started in the building’s basement or first floor. It had been compromised by the time firefighters entered, so they concentrated on protecting nearby homes and structures.

As the rubble continues to smolder from Sunday evening’s fire at Diamond W Feed, in Medina, plans are underway to re-establish the business.

Corporate member of the family business Terry Wanzek says the blaze destroyed the elevator, and grain, amounting to over $1 million in damage.

Wanzek says the building is insured, however the employees and Medina community are supporting re-building the business, a regional bulk livestock feed supplier.

The Medina Fire District continued to keep an eye on the smoldering debris on Monday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say the shooting death of a Bismarck teenager at a rifle range south of the city appears accidental.

The Burleigh County Sheriff’s Office says 14-year-old Jaide Tosseth was target shooting with family members at the McLean Bottoms Shooting Range on Sunday when she died.

Sheriff’s Maj. Kelly Leben says the girl was in a safe zone when the shooting occurred. Authorities are still investigating what happened. They’re reviewing footage from surveillance cameras at the range.

Jamestown (CSi) North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne will speak in Rome today before the United Nation’s Committee for World Food Security (CFS), as a representative of the World Farmers Organization (WFO).

This is the first time in 43 years that farmers, through the WFO, have been able to participate in the international discussion on food security and nutrition through the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization.

CFS is also recognizing family farm agriculture as the cornerstone of rural society. CFS, WFO and Farmers Union policies agree on land and animal stewardship, conservation of natural resources, and achieving a hunger free world. Watne made the following remarks:

“Farmers need to be engaged in developing and implementing the goal of food security, as they are the main target of agricultural policies at national levels and the final users of on-the-ground products and CFS policy recommendations.

“It is important to take into consideration that farmers already apply production systems that could address the emerging challenges of food security, nutrition, climate change, soil preservation, and sustainable agriculture. This puts us in an ideal position to develop and implement CFS goals. If given an avenue to support our farms, farmers will – through initiative, technology and intelligence – provide food, energy and sustainability.”

“World food security is particularly a goal of family farm agriculture that is common ground between farmers and CFS.”

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — “Democracy Now” reporter Amy Goodman plans to plead not guilty to a riot charge stemming from her coverage of a protest against the construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.

Prosecutor Ladd Erickson dismissed a criminal trespass charge against Goodman on Friday. Defense attorney Tom Dickson said Monday that Erickson told him prosecutors plan to charge her with engaging in riot. The charge hasn’t been filed.

Dickson says Goodman will plead not guilty and post bond in court Monday afternoon.

Goodman reported on a clash between protesters and pipeline security at a construction site Sept. 3. Dickson maintains Goodman was doing her job. Erickson has said Goodman went beyond reporting by yelling at security guards.

Opponents worry the pipeline will contaminate water supply and destroy cultural artifacts.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say they haven’t ruled out future charges against “Democracy Now!” reporter Amy Goodman from her coverage of a protest against construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.

Morton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey says the case is still “under review.”

Judge John Grinsteiner on Monday refused to sign off on a riot charge against Goodman, finding there was no cause for it. That came after prosecutor Ladd Erickson dismissed a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge against Goodman on Friday.

Erickson has said Goodman was acting like a protester when she reported on a clash between protesters and pipeline security last month.

Defense attorney Tom Dickson maintains Goodman was doing her job.
REASNOR, Iowa (AP) — Authorities suspect arson in the latest burning of heavy equipment being used in the construction of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline in central Iowa.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office says the blaze late Saturday near Reasnor, Iowa, caused about $2 million damage to an excavator and three bulldozers. The equipment is operated by a contractor for Dakota Access, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners.

Opponents have for months been protesting the $3.8 billion, nearly 1,200-mile project pipeline, warning its construction could jeopardize water supply and damage cultural artifacts.

Another suspected arson of construction equipment happened on Aug. 1 at the same site, about 30 miles east of Des Moines.

No arrests have been made in either fire. The Iowa Fire Marshal Division and the FBI are investigating.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. is seeking approval from North Dakota regulators to raise residential electric bills by nearly $10 per month.

The Bismarck-based utility lists “significant” investment in facilities to maintain safe, reliable service as the reason for the request to the Public Service Commission.

MDU is proposing a 6.6 percent increase, which would raise an additional $13.4 million per year. It would increase a monthly residential bill by an average of about $9.60.

MDU serves about 100,000 customers in 117 North Dakota communities. The utility hasn’t had a general electric rate increase for five years.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

TORONTO (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are one victory away from their first American League pennant since 1997 following an outstanding performance from their bullpen.

Six Indians relievers combined to throw 8 1/3 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays in Toronto. The result gives Cleveland a three-games-to-none lead in the AL Championship Series and an opportunity to wrap up a World Series berth as early as Tuesday.

The bullpen door was in full swing once Trevor Bauer’s sliced pinkie forced him to leave after just four batters. Bauer cut the pinkie on his pitching hand while trying to fix one of his drones last week. Bauer had to be replaced as he continued to drip blood on the baseball.

MLB-DODGERS-ROTATION…

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rookie Julio Urias will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.

Urias hasn’t thrown more than 100 pitches in a major league game, and no more than 78 pitches since Sept. 2. But he is 5-0 with a 1.90 ERA since the All-Star break, including two scoreless innings of relief to help the Dodgers take the deciding fifth game of the NLDS.

Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said he plans to start Kenta Maeda (KEHN’-tuh mah-AY’-duh) in Game 5.

The series is tied 1-1.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The New York Jets had no answer for David Johnson and showed no ability to penetrate the Arizona Cardinals’ defense on Monday night.

Johnson ran for 111 yards and three touchdowns as the Cardinals ripped the Jets, 28-3. He had scoring runs of 58, 2 and 2 yards in helping the Cardinals win their second straight and even their record at 3-3.

Carson Palmer was sharp after missing Arizona’s previous game with a concussion. Palmer was 23 of 34 for 213 yards and a TD before leaving the game with a strained hamstring midway through the fourth quarter

FCS COACHES POLL…

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — North Dakota State is no longer ranked No. 1 after losing last weekend on a last-second touchdown to South Dakota State.

The Bison fell to fourth in the coaches’ FCS poll this week. Sam Houston State moved up one spot to take over the poll’s top spot. Jacksonville State and Eastern Washington are ranked second and third respectively.

South Dakota State moved up three spots in the poll, to 11th. North Dakota is ranked No. 16, moving up two spots.

Despite the setback, North Dakota State would still make the FCS playoffs barring a huge collapse. The Jackrabbits also likely punched their playoff ticket in beating the top-ranked FCS team on the road.

WNBA…

NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA admitted its officials missed an 8-second violation call in Game 4 of the Finals on Sunday night.

The league released a statement Monday saying that a call should have been made.

Minnesota led 79-77 and had the ball with 26.1 seconds left after a turnover. They didn’t get the ball into the front court in the required eight seconds.

“After reviewing postgame video, we have determined that with 0:17.7 remaining in regulation time, Minnesota released the ball for a pass from the backcourt and the ball was still in the backcourt when the shot clock turned to 0:16,” the statement said. “An 8-second violation should have been called on Minnesota. This play is not a trigger to review via instant replay.”

The Lynx went on to win the game 85-79 and force a decisive fifth game Thursday night.

NFL-LAS VEGAS…

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has signed a bill clearing the way for the construction of a football stadium in Las Vegas as the state attempts to woo the Raiders from Oakland.

Sandoval and Raiders owner Mark Davis were part of the bill-signing ceremony at UNLV, whose football team would use the 65,000-seat domed facility. NFL owners still need to approve the team’s move from Oakland before Vegas becomes a football town.

NBA-TRADE…

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls have acquired Michael Carter-Williams from Milwaukee for fellow guard Tony Snell.

Carter-Williams was the 11th overall selection by the 76ers in the 2013 draft, nine spots ahead of Snell. He was traded to Milwaukee during the 2014-15 season and has averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists since turning pro.

Snell has averaged 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds during his three NBA seasons.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is denouncing what he’s calling “one of the great miscarriages of justice” in the country’s history. He’s reacting to FBI records that show a senior State Department official tried, without success, to get the FBI to help reduce the classification of an email from Hillary Clinton’s private server. Trump calls the move “collusion.”

WHITE PLAINS, New York (AP) — With Election Day three weeks away, an increasingly confident Hillary Clinton is advancing into traditionally Republican states as she looks to expand her lead over Donald Trump. Aides say there’s a new $2 million push in Arizona, including a campaign stop in Phoenix by first lady Michelle Obama.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is reserving his final state dinner for the premier of Italy. The official visit and state dinner for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi promises to be a glitzy affair that features celebrity chef Mario Batali in the kitchen and singer Gwen Stefani performing after the dinner.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s government is negotiating the release of another 83 of the Chibok (chih-BAWK’) schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram two and a-half years ago. But a community leader says more than 100 others appear unwilling to leave their captors, either because they’ve become radicalized, or feel ashamed. Twenty-one Chibok girls were freed last week.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Five days after Bob Dylan was named winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, no one knows how he feels about the award — not even the Nobel judges. The Swedish Academy says it hasn’t been able to reach Dylan, who’s currently on tour in the U.S. It’s hoping that he’ll get in touch — and show up to collect his award in December.
