Jamestown  (CSi)  Recycling Center of North Dakota, President, Ralph Friebel in Jamestown, says  no  date  has been set to implement Jamestown’s residential recycling.

The automated collection of garbage will correspond with the start of  the automated picking up of  the recycling bins, when they arrive and are distributed.

The new garbage containers distribution and collection of the old containers occurred on August 7th, to work with the automated collection system of the new trucks.

The new trucks ordered in January this year are delayed due to manufacturing issues, with the design of the trucks.

A shortage of the new containers meant returning the old green garbage bins to some residences until more new containers arrive.

Jamestown  (CSi)  After packaging its one millionth meal in 2016, Jamestown Kiwanis is looking to package $25,000 worth of meals again in 2017.

Kids Against Hunger is an annual event in which more than 300 volunteers pack meals for hungry families in North Dakota and Minnesota. The meals contain vegetables, vitamins, rice and soy and are distributed through the Great Plains Food Bank. Meal recipients need only to add water and boil the dried ingredients for 20 minutes. This year’s packing event is set for Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at Stutsman Harley-Davidson.

Jamestown Kiwanis past-president and Kids Against Hunger organizer, Janna Bergstedt, says, “We’re proud of Jamestown and the surrounding communities. Every year, when we talk about hungry children, the community says ‘we won’t stand for that.’”

Last year, Great Plains Food Bank served more than 94,000 people including nearly 34,000 children.

At 25 cents a meal, raising $25,000 means Jamestown Kiwanis could potentially pack 100,000 meals.

Bergstedt says, “By all accounts, the meals we pack hit the shelves at food pantries and within a few months, they’re gone.”

To help raise money or package meals for Kids Against Hunger, email jamestownkiwanis@gamail.com. Donations can be made at First Community Credit Union or at https://www.gofundme.com/kids-against-hunger-2017. For more information, call 251-2237.

 

MAKOTI, N.D. (AP) — A two-vehicle crash in Ward County killed one person and injured five more.

The Highway Patrol says a car driven by 49-year-old David Whitetail, of White Shield, failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of state Highway 23 and a county road about 6:15 p.m. Monday. The car collided with a pickup truck.

Whitetail died at the scene about a mile north of Makoti. Three teenage passengers in his car and the two adult occupants of the truck suffered unspecified injuries.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A 50-year-old Mandan man is dead after suffering a medical problem and crashing his pickup truck off Interstate 94.

The Highway Patrol says the man’s truck left the roadway about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, went through the median and across the oncoming lanes of traffic. After entering the ditch, the vehicle struck a fence and then a personal watercraft trailer in a parking lot.

The man was taken to a Bismarck hospital where he died. He wasn’t immediately identified.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota officials have announced an emergency hay transportation assistance program for drought-stricken livestock producers.

Gov. Doug Burgum and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced the program Tuesday. The $1.5 million grant program will help reimburse a portion of hay transportation expenses to eligible producers hit hard by drought.

Burgum says extreme drought has exacerbated costs for North Dakota ranchers who now must go hundreds of miles for hay.

Eligible producers must come from a county registering D2, D3 or D4 on the drought monitor. The hay must be used for the producer’s own operation, and costs must be incurred between June 1 and Oct. 20, 2017.

The program starts Sept. 5. The application deadline is Nov. 3.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An attorney for Greenpeace says a lawsuit filed against it and other environmental groups by the developer of the Dakota Access pipeline is meritless.

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners alleges that the groups’ actions opposing the pipeline to move North Dakota oil to Illinois interfered with its business, facilitated crimes and acts of terrorism, incited violence, targeted financial institutions that backed the project and violated racketeering and defamation laws.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in North Dakota seeks damages that could approach $1 billion.

Greenpeace attorney Tom Wetterer says the lawsuit isn’t designed to seek justice “but to silence free speech through expensive, time-consuming litigation.”

The 1,200-mile (1930-kilometer) pipeline began operating June 1, after months of delays caused by legal wrangling and on-the-ground protests by tribes and groups that feared environmental harm.

 
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Another defendant in a Jamaican lottery scam authorities say bilked 90 mostly elderly Americans out of $5.7 million has been scheduled for trial.

Gregory Gooden was arrested in Jamaica in June and pleaded not guilty in federal court in North Dakota Aug. 1. A federal judge on Monday scheduled him for trial in January, joining eight co-defendants previously scheduled.

Fifteen people are charged in the case. The alleged mastermind has pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors, and another suspect is scheduled to plead guilty in October. Alrick McLeod will remain jailed until then, because a federal magistrate on Monday denied him a detention hearing.

Two other suspects are in Jamaica awaiting extradition, and two others remain fugitives.

The case began when a North Dakota woman lost her life savings in 2011.

 

DUNSEITH, N.D. (AP) — Budget cuts in North Dakota are causing a tourist attraction that straddles the U.S.-Canadian border to initiate new fundraising efforts.The  International Peace Garden is losing about $48,000 in operating grants since the declining revenues in the state have led to 10 percent budget cuts this funding cycle.

The garden’s staff is asking the public for donations and encouraging people to purchase annual or lifetime memberships.

CEO Garry Enns says the revenue the garden gains from gate fees, gift shop sales and rent from the International Music Camp isn’t enough to cover all of its expenses. The annual operating budget for the garden is about $1.5 million.

The garden was dedicated in 1932 and is a tribute to the peace between the U.S. and Canada.

 
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Industrial Commission has committed more than $5 million toward research aimed at storing carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants.

The University of North Dakota’s Energy and Environmental Research Center will lead the 14-month study that also will look at cleaner technology to make electricity from the state’s lignite. It also will study whether carbon dioxide could be used to boost oil output in some fields.

State money approved Tuesday from the commission headed by Gov. Doug Burgum comes from North Dakota’s lignite research fund, which is financed by a tax on the abundant but low-grade coal.

The federal government is expected to provide most of the money for the $12.7 million study, with the industry contributing about $1 million.

Carbon dioxide is thought to influence global warming.

Bismarck   (CSi)  North Dakota Game and Fish reports, North Dakota’s fall turkey season is set with 3,505 licenses available to hunters, five fewer than last year.

Fall turkey hunters, including gratis applicants, who are interested in applying for a 2017 license must submit an online application through the state Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. Paper applications are not available this year.

Applications are also accepted at the department’s toll-free licensing line, 800-406-6409. A service fee is added for license applications made over the phone.

The deadline for applying is Sept. 6, 2017.

The bonus point fee is allocated to the department’s Private Land Open to Sportsmen Program.

Hunting units 21 (Hettinger and Adams counties) and 53 (Divide and Williams counties) will remain closed to fall turkey hunting in 2017 because of low turkey numbers.

The fall wild turkey season runs from Oct. 14 through Jan. 7, 2018.

MLB…

 

UNDATED (AP) — The Indians are spending time without two of their top pitchers as they try to put some distance between themselves and the second-place Twins in the AL Central.

Reliever Andrew Miller is back on the DL for the second time in three weeks because of tendinitis in his right knee. Miller made just two appearances following his previous stint on the DL and pulled himself out of Monday’s game against Boston after seven pitches.

Starter Danny Salazar has landed on the DL with an elbow issue and will undergo an MRI. Salazar is 2-1 with a 2.68 ERA in six starts since spending about seven weeks on the disabled list with a sore pitching shoulder.

 

Commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL’) has declined to confirm reports that he and the league are working on a five-year extension. Goodell told a fan forum in Detroit that the two sides are having discussions and will see how they go. A five-year extension would ensure that Goodell would remain in his position for the next round of collective bargaining between owners and players following the 2020 season.

 

NBA…

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics are giving NBA fans another reason to tune in for their season-opening clash on Oct. 17.

The Cavs are shipping Kyrie (KY’-ree) Irving to the Celts for Isaiah Thomas in a blockbuster trade of All-Star guards. Cleveland also gets forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and a 2018 first-round draft pick.

Irving asked Cavs owner Dan Gilbert to trade him earlier this summer. He joins the team that lost to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference finals last spring.

Irving has averaged 21.6 points and 5 ½ assists during a six-year career spent entirely with the Cavaliers. He averaged a career-best 25.2 points and 5.8 assists in 72 games last season.

Thomas averaged 28.9 points last season, giving him a 19.1 scoring average for his six-year career.

 

In world and national news…

PHOENIX (AP) — President Donald Trump is blaming the media for the widespread condemnation of his response to violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, protest organized by white supremacists. At a political rally in Phoenix, he unabashedly acknowledged that he was defying his advisers’ recommendations to stick to the script and appear “presidential.”

TOKYO (AP) — The Navy has announced that the commander of its 7th Fleet has been dismissed “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.” U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Scott Swift relieved Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin of his command on Wednesday.

CAIRO (AP) — White House adviser Jared Kushner and visiting U.S. officials have been snubbed by the Foreign Ministry in Cairo. The ministry says the country’s top diplomat, Sameh Shoukry, cancelled his meeting with Kushner and the others who are on a Mideast tour to press Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts. The gesture comes after the Trump administration cut nearly $100 million in military and economic aid to Egypt and delayed almost $200 million more in military financing, pending human rights improvements.

CAIRO (AP) — Yemeni security officials and witnesses say the Saudi-led coalition has carried out several airstrikes, hitting a small hotel near the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and killing dozens of Shiite Houthi rebels and civilians there. The officials say an estimated number of 60 have been killed in the strikes on Wednesday morning. It wasn’t immediately clear why the coalition jets targeted the hotel, which is located in the town of Arhab, some 35 kilometers, or 22 miles, north of Sanaa.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The defense lawyer of the Danish inventor who is suspected of manslaughter in the case of Swedish journalist Kim Wall, who is believed to have died on a submarine that sank, says police statements Wednesday do not “change my client’s explanation that an accident happened” aboard the submarine. Danish police confirmed Wednesday that DNA tests from a headless torso found washed ashore off Copenhagen match with 30-year-old Wall.
