This Day In History – August 29, 1912 – Midland Continental Railroad incorporated for building a railroad from Winnipeg to Corpus Christi, Texas.

*** from the 125th Anniversary Calendar of Jamestown History ***

Built in 1913, the Midland Continental Railroad Depot is the only remaining depot of the railroad which was to connect Canada to the Gulf Coast.  Warren Ernie, Wimbledon native and lifetime resident, was the guest of honor.  Ernie rode on the Midland train and in high school personally knew Peggy Lee (Norma Egstrom), the renowned jazz singer.  The depot was home to Peggy Lee from 1934-1937 when her father was the depot agent there.

Opened in 2012, the Midland Continental Depot Transportation Museum Featuring Peggy Lee is on the National Register of Historic Places and is ADA accessible. The museum is open daily, Memorial Day through Labor Day, 1-4pm, or by appointment year-round.

Fargo  (CSi Red Cross)  — The American Red Cross has mounted a massive relief in the wake of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey, along the Texas Gulf Coast with over 100 mph winds and up to 35 inches of rain, leading to devastating and life-threatening flooding. Tornadoes have also hit the region. The storm is expected to hover over parts of Texas and Louisiana for several days.

 

The Red Cross is mobilizing hundreds of trained Red Cross disaster relief workers, as well as tens of thousands of ready-to-eat meals to support this response effort. Trailers full of shelter supplies including cots and blankets—enough to support more than 20,000 people—are scheduled to arrive in Texas.

 

CEO Lynn Speral, says, “Paul and Barb Henke deployed from Valley City and drove the Red Cross emergency response vehicle to Texas.

We’re thankful for the dedication of volunteers who are willing to drop everything to help those in need,” said Allen and Carol Becker of Minot are also deploying; they will drive an emergency response vehicle from Western North Dakota to Texas. Several volunteers in the Red Cross chapters in South Dakota are on their way to Texas or scheduled for deployment.

 

More than 40 Red Cross emergency response vehicles are activated, including four in the Dakotas Region, with more on alert. The Red Cross is also working in close collaboration with government officials and community partners in both Texas and Louisiana to coordinate potential response efforts.

Jamestown  (NDFU) – The “Sky’s the Limit” at the fifth annual WILD (Women in Leadership Development) Conference slated for Jamestown on Sept. 13-14 at the North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) Conference Center. Women will find inspiration from nationally-recognized speakers and encouragement to eliminate the words “I can’t” and “there are limits” from their vocabulary.

 

Chelsey Jacobson, NDFU conference leader, says, “The goal of the conference is to encourage women to be active and passionate about getting involved in their communities and in leadership roles.”
Lauren Leader-Chivee, a writer, researcher and thought leader on diversity and women’s issues in the workplace and in between, is one of two keynote speakers. She was named by Fortune magazine as one of the “50 Most Influential Women on Twitter,” and currently serves on the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations. She is the author of Crossing the Thinnest Line.

 

North Dakotan Rebecca Undem will also share the speaker spotlight. She aims to inspire women to live BIG (Bold, Inspired, Growth-Oriented) lives and view all the detours as an opportunity to grow and evolve. She’ll share relatable excerpts from her book, How Mommy Got Her Groove Back, which encourages people to take a step back and focus on the important things in life.

 

The conference begins with the popular Ladies’ Night on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Participants can shop at a variety of vendor booths, enjoy appetizers and wine, and learn some self-defense techniques taught by the North Dakota Safety Council.

 

Along with keynote speakers on Thursday, Sept. 14, a panel of North Dakota women in agriculture and leadership positions will be sharing their inspiring stories.

 

Conference sponsors include NDFU, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota, and Farmers Union Insurance.

 

Cost of the two-day event is $99 and open to the public. Attendees must be NDFU members ($30 membership required). However, that cost is easily recouped from savings in products, services and grocery store discounts through NDFU’s Member Benefits Plus program.

 

To register, go to www.ndfu.org/wild. For more information, follow the conference at www.facebook.com/ndfuwild or contact Chelsey Jacobson at cjacobson@ndfu.org or 701-952-0131.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) —  Prosecutors in North Dakota say a woman charged in the disappearance of Savanna Greywind admitted taking advantage of the pregnant woman in an attempt to get her baby.

But charges filed Monday against Brooke Lynn Crews and her boyfriend, William Hoehn, don’t shed any light on how 22-year-old Savanna Greywind died. Her body was found Sunday night in the Red River near Fargo.

A criminal complaint says Brooke Lynn Crews told police she arranged to have 22-year-old Savanna Greywind come to her apartment on August 19, 2017 and told her how to induce labor.

Crews told police that Greywind came back two days later to give her the newborn baby.

But Crews’ boyfriend, William Hoehn (HANE), told police that he came home Aug. 19 to find Crews cleaning up blood in their bathroom. Hoehn says Crews presented him with an infant baby girl and said: “This is our baby.”

Crews and Hoehn are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and other counts. They didn’t enter pleas during a court hearing Monday.

Bond  was set at $2-million cash for each.

 

 

 

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities say a man believed to have key information about a Des Moines slaying has been found in North Dakota.

Des Moines police said Monday night that Randy Miles Jr. has been detained in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Des Moines detectives will be traveling there to interview Miles. No criminal charges have been filed.

The detectives are investigating the slaying of 26-year-old Christopher Lenhart, who was set on fire Friday afternoon. Police say Lenhart died Sunday at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.

Police say Lenhart’s death is Des Moines’ 23rd homicide so far this year.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Two dozen residents of a Grand Forks apartment building were forced to evacuate after a grease fire broke out in an empty apartment.

A pan of grease was left on a running stove in a ground-floor apartment at Oak Manor Apartments on Monday. The occupants of the apartment weren’t home when the fire broke out and produced heavy smoke.

A person in a neighboring apartment was treated by paramedics at the scene for smoke inhalation. There were no other injuries, and fire officials say damage from the fire was minimal.

 

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The company that built the four-state Dakota Access pipeline is negotiating with North Dakota regulators to try to resolve all investigations into potential wrongdoing.

The state Public Service Commission two weeks ago offered a settlement of allegations that Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners improperly reported the discovery of American Indian artifacts during construction.

Commission attorney Zachary Pelham says the company has responded to the offer with a counterproposal that includes potentially also resolving a state investigation into whether crews removed too many trees and improperly handled some removed soil while laying pipe in the state.

The commission met privately with attorneys Monday on the counterproposal and took no public action afterward. Attorneys for the two sides will continue to negotiate. The company could face fines in both cases.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Scandinavian folk art classes will be offered during the annual Norsk Hostfest at the State Fairgrounds in Minot.

The Minot Daily News reports that early registration is now being taken for Hostfest University.

Chairwoman Candi Helseth says people who sign up with early registration will get $20 off the price of admission to the fest on the day they attend their class. This is the third year that Helseth will oversee the Hostfest University classes.

Helseth says the classes are $75 in addition to the cost of materials. They’re intended for adults, but children 12 and older will be allowed to enroll with parent permission.

The Norsk Hostfest is scheduled to take place in late September.

 

 

FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — Authorities in Otter Tail County are searching a lake for a man who disappeared while driving a Jet Ski.

The sheriff’s department said Monday it’s searching for 39-year-old Peter Akintola Akinboro, of Grand Forks. Officials say he was visiting family on West Battle Lake Saturday and left a cabin on a personal watercraft.

Family members say Akinboro did not know how to swim. KFGO reports the Jet Ski was found in the lake along with a life jacket. A drone is being used in the search for Akinboro.

Bismarck  (CSi)  The State game and Fish Department advises hunters that

North Dakota’s popular hunting seasons for grouse and partridge will open Saturday, September 9, 2017.

State Game and Fish Department upland game biologist R.J. Gross says hunters will likely see fewer sharptails and Huns compared to last year, while ruffed grouse numbers are up from 2016.

Gross said that hot, dry early summer weather likely reduced grouse production in many areas due to poor habitat conditions and low insect production.

“Numbers in the northeast show up a little better than other areas,” Gross said. “But yet, there will be localized areas with good chick survival in most parts of the state.”

Huns respond better to drought conditions, Gross said, and do better in dry years compared to sharptails. “Huns have generally been a bonus bird the past handful of years,” he added. “Hunters will still find pockets of decent hunting, but it may require more time in the field.”

Ruffed grouse spring drumming counts were up in the Turtle Mountains, and good numbers of broods were reported in the Pembina Hills.

Shooting hours for the upcoming season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Sharptails, ruffed grouse and Huns each have a daily limit of three and a possession limit of 12.

Hunters, regardless of age, must have a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate and general game and habitat license. In addition, hunters age 16 and older need a small game license.

For further season information and regulations, hunters should consult the North Dakota 2017-18 Small Game Hunting Guide.

Flooding forces Astros, Texans to move home games

HOUSTON (AP) — Hurricane Harvey has forced both the Houston Astros and Houston Texans to play home games miles away from the flood-stricken city with players wondering when they will be able to come back.

The Astros will play a three-game series against the Texas Rangers at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, this week, starting Tuesday, and the Texans will wrap up their preseason schedule against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington instead of NRG Stadium.

Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph said it’s difficult to concentrate on his game “and then think about your family that’s back home when there’s constantly updates going on around the clock about things that are going on back in your hometown.”

Both the Astros and Rangers flew to Dallas after games in California on Sunday to await news of where the series would be held.

 

US OPEN-TRUMP’S SUITE…

NEW YORK (AP) — Do not look for President Donald Trump to show up at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, for a change.

U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said that the Trump Organization suspended its suite agreement at the U.S. Open, which began Monday, while Trump is in the White House — but wants to renew it when he is out of office.

Widmaier told The Associated Press: “Following Donald Trump’s election, we were approached by the Trump Organization.”

He said the Open officials were asked to suspend the suite agreement but added that “they also asked that at the conclusion of his presidency, would we agree to re-engage with them on their traditional suite.” He said the suite would be renewed.

Widmaier said that particular suite, which is adjacent to the television broadcasting booth in Arthur Ashe Stadium, would be sold on at most a one-year basis and “there will be no long-term agreement” with anyone else.

 

TENNIS….US OPEN…

Alexander Zverev worked deep into the night to get into the U.S. Open’s second round.

The No. 4-seeded Zverev made it through a tight first set and eventually wrested control for a 7-6 (9), 7-5, 6-4 victory over 168th-ranked Darian King, the first player from Barbados to participate in the main draw at any Grand Slam tournament.

The match finished a little past 2 a.m. on Tuesday; the record for latest U.S. Open finish is 2:26 a.m., which has happened three times.

Maria Sharapova  won her opening-round match over No. 2-seeded Simona Halep 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
