Jamestown (Sen. Heitkamp’s Office) – U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Thursday toured Mary’s Place, a new facility to provide emergency shelter, resources, and transitional services for victims of domestic and sexual violence in the Jamestown area. Following the tour, Heitkamp convened Mary’s Place staff, local law enforcement, health care professionals, and Jamestown leaders to discuss the needs of the community as it works to address domestic violence and provide shelter and services for survivors.
Like many other communities in North Dakota, Jamestown’s affordable housing opportunities have decreased— which exacerbates the difficulty in finding safe transitional or permanent housing for victims of domestic or sexual violence. After opening in June 2018, Mary’s Place now provides additional safe housing opportunities for victims in Stutsman, and Foster, counties.
Heitkamp talked about how critical it is to combat domestic violence at both the local and federal levels. She also discussed with the group the progress that has been made to stop domestic violence and better support survivors as a result of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) – legislation Heitkamp helped implement statewide when she served as North Dakota’s Attorney General. Reauthorizing VAWA was one of the first bills she cosponsored and helped pass as a U.S. senator in 2013. She worked to include a key provision in VAWA to strengthen existing programs and provide tribal governments the authority and tools necessary to prosecute non-Indian perpetrators who commit these crimes on tribal land. Largely due to VAWA, according to the Justice Department, the annual incidences of domestic violence have fallen more than 60 percent since 1993.
“Since my time as Attorney General and in the U.S. Senate, I’ve continued to see the urgent need to help domestic violence victims find safe and reliable housing to escape their abusers,” said Heitkamp. “In addition to providing women and children with safety and residential stability, we also must focus on giving victims and their families the counselling, legal services, and other resources they need to get back on their feet. Today, I heard from community leaders, victims’ advocates, and law enforcement about how the important services offered at Mary’s Place will give the Jamestown community additional tools to provide critical transitional housing and other services for victims of domestic violence in the area. Community efforts like this one— combined with federal efforts I’ve supported like the Violence Against Women Act— make huge differences in reducing incidents of domestic violence, keeping our communities strong and safe, and giving hope to those looking to leave dangerous and traumatic situations.”
“Too many victims of domestic violence don’t receive the comprehensive support they need to escape the violence and permanently leave an abusive relationship,” said Lynne Tally, Executive Director, Mary’s Place at Safe Shelter. “Thankfully, the Jamestown community has graciously stepped up to help address this challenge, and Mary’s Place will provide temporary housing options and wraparound services that best support survivors in our area. We greatly appreciate Senator Heitkamp visiting the new facility today and working to raise awareness about the need for emergency and transitional housing and supportive services across North Dakota. As we work together to stop the spread of family violence, she continues to stand up for domestic violence survivors and their families in our state.”
In one survey, 51.5 percent of U.S. domestic violence victims who sought housing services did not receive them, meaning they may have been forced to stay in or return to an abusive environment. And on just one day in 2016, 80 percent of unmet requests for emergency domestic violence services in North Dakota were related to housing.
Heitkamp has continued to prioritize transitional housing for domestic violence victims in North Dakota while seeking justice against their abusers. In December 2017, Heitkamp introduced her bipartisan bill—the HEALS Act— to increase transitional housing support and encourage community housing options that best support survivors. And in October 2017 as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Heitkamp toured the Minot Domestic Violence Crisis Center and helped present additional funding for its transitional housing facilities.

Valley City (KVLY) A preliminary autopsy states that cause of death of a Valley City man arrested for DUI was delayed consequences of a broken neck, but it’s unknown how the injury occurred.
72-year-old Warren Lindvold died six days after he was arrested for a DUI by Valley City police on July 15th.
While in jail, Lindvold complained of back pain. Lindvold had ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis where there is long term inflammation of the joints of the spine. To help with the condition, Lindvold’s spine had previously been fused – leaving him unable to turn his neck. He was taken to Mercy CHI Health in Valley City, North Dakota where he was “medically cleared” and was taken back to the Barnes County Correctional Facility.
The next morning, Lindvold was found down in his cell and was transported to Sanford Medical Center in Fargo. There he was found to have a broken neck. He underwent surgery, but his condition deteriorated and he later died.
Valley News Live received dashcam footage of the night of Lindvold’s arrest available on their web site.

After the collision, the Volvo stopped on the eastbound shoulder of I-94. The Kenworth came to rest on the eastbound shoulder as well, partially blocking the right lane of eastbound I-94
Both drivers refused medical treatment. Sperr was cited on scene for Following Too Close. The right lane of eastbound I-94 was closed for about 45 minutes while the vehicles were removed.
The Barnes County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.

Authorities say they later found a baggy in the apartment which contained cocaine and “several devices’ used to ingest the drug.
Bethancorth has been assigned a court-appointed attorney, remains in the Barnes County Jail in Valley City, and is due back in Dickey County District Court in Ellendale September 11.
He plead guilty last December to a charge of False Information or Report to Law Enforcement. Records show he failed to register as a sex offender in Oakes after moving from Oregon.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The former general manager of an events center in Fargo is accused of embezzling from the business.
The Cass County State Attorney’s Office has charged Richard Pallay with felony theft. Pallay was the first general manager of Sanctuary Events Center developed by Gov. Doug Burgum’s Kilbourne Group. KFGO says he was fired in January.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican Secretary of State Al Jaeger has turned in signatures to his own office to be placed on the November ballot as an independent candidate.
Will Gardner beat Jaeger for the GOP endorsement for the seat but withdrew after news surfaced of a 2006 disorderly conduct conviction for peeping through windows at the North Dakota State University women’s dorm.
Jaeger needs 1,000 valid signatures to be placed on the ballot. He says he turned in more than 1,300 signatures on Thursday. His office is tasked with certifying the signatures. Jaeger says he will have no part in that process.
The November ballot will not list a Republican candidate.
Fargo Rep. Josh Boschee is the Democrat’s endorsed candidate for the seat.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A proposal to expand a natural gas processing plant in northwestern North Dakota aims to keep up with growing volumes of Bakken gas production and reduce wasteful flaring.
Kinder Morgan has filed an application with the state Public Service Commission to expand the Roosevelt Gas Plant in McKenzie County, The Bismarck Tribune reported . The expansion would add 150 million cubic feet per day of processing capacity at the plant.
Companies in North Dakota flared more than 400 million cubic feet per day of natural gas in May, according to the Department of Mineral Resources. The state produced 2.3 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas that month, and those volumes are projected to continue increasing to eventually exceed 4 billion cubic feet per day, according to Justin Kringstad, director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority.
The Kinder Morgan proposal estimates the expansion will cost $150 million. Operations could begin by November 2019, pending regulatory approvals.
The Public Service Commission will need to approve the expansion. A public hearing on the proposal hasn’t been scheduled.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and her Republican challenger, Rep. Kevin Cramer, are filling the airwaves with campaign ads arguing who is a better friend to veterans.
Veterans are a key constituency in North Dakota, representing almost 9 percent of the population.
Earning their support is pivotal for the Senate seat Heitkamp won six years ago by fewer than 3,000 votes in the deeply conservative state.
North Dakota Veterans Affairs Commissioner Lonnie Wangen says the attack ads have been disappointing and unfair. He says both Cramer and Heitkamp have been strong advocates for veterans and the military.
Eighty-two-year old Army veteran Les Linssen says he’s tired of the politicians attacking each other. He says he’s glad he has a mute button on his TV.
TIOGA, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit in North Dakota accusing a petroleum company of subjecting a black employee to racial harassment.
According to the lawsuit, Derrick Jenkins worked for Murex Petroleum Corp. from April to September 2014 at its Tioga facility. The EEOC says Jenkins’ co-workers directed racial slurs at him and made racially derogatory comments. It says Jenkins’ supervisor witnessed the harassment, but did nothing about it.
The lawsuit says another African-American employee complained to a high-level executive at the company about the harassment, but no action was taken. The EEOC is seeks compensatory and punitive damages in the case.
A spokeswoman for Murex Petroleum, based in Houston, Texas, did not immediately return a call for comment.

UNDATED (AP)— Michael Brantley’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth gave the Indians a 5-4 victory over Minnesota and an 11-game lead over the Twins in the AL Central. Francisco Lindor had three RBIs for Cleveland, one night after his three-run, walk-off homer completed a 5-2 win against the Twins. Jorge Polanco tied the game with a three-run blast in the sixth inning of his first game since completing an 80-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug program.
— The Milwaukee Brewers wasted a great opportunity to inch closer to first place in the NL Central.
The Brewers led 4-2 yesterday until Corey Knebel (kuh-NAY’-bul), Joakim Soria (SOHR’-ee-uh) and Jacob Barnes combined to allow six runs in the ninth inning of an 8-4 loss to the Padres. Hunter Renfroe delivered a go-ahead grand slam off Soria, one batter before Franmil Reyes went deep against Barnes.
Jonathan Schoop (skohp) hit a two-run double and came around to score on Lorenzo Cain’s single later in the fourth inning, putting the Brew Crew ahead, 4-1.
The outcome drops the Brewers two games behind the division-leading Chicago Cubs.

— The Phillies’ lead in the NL East is one game over Atlanta following the Braves’ 6-3 loss at Washington. Gio Gonzalez allowed one run and six hits over seven innings for his first win since May 28, helping the Nats pull within 5 ½ games of the NL East lead. Anthony Rendon (rehn-DOHN’) and Daniel Murphy each had two hits and an RBI as the Nationals gained a split of the four-game series.
— Mitch Haniger, Denard Span and Jean Segura homered off Justin Verlander while the Mariners built a 6-0 lead over the first two innings of an 8-6 victory at Houston. James Paxton pitched into the sixth inning and helped Seattle get within 2 ½ games of Oakland for the second AL wild-card berth. Marwin Gonzalez and Tyler White drove in two runs apiece for the Astros, whose lead in the AL West is 4 ½ games over Oakland.
— Randal Grichuk (GRIH’-chuhk) slammed a two-run homer and had three RBIs as the Blue Jays ended the Red Sox’s six-game winning streak, 8-5. Teoscar (tay-AHS’-kur) Hernandez also homered and Justin Smoak was 3-for-4 with two RBIs to help Toronto stop a three-game skid. J.D. Martinez belted his major league-leading 35th home run and Mookie Betts hit for the cycle, but Boston’s lead in the AL East dropped to eight games over the Yankees.
— Neil Walker hit two of the Yankees’ five home runs in their fourth consecutive win, 7-3 against the Rangers. Giancarlo Stanton slammed his 28th home run, Aaron Hicks hit his 20th and Miguel Andujar (an-DOO’-hahr) added his 16th. J.A.

Joe Panik (PAN’-ihk) and Steven Duggar drove in two runs apiece for the Giants, who have dropped three straight and 13 of 20 since getting within three games of the NL West lead.
— Jake Bauers provided a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh to lift the Rays over the Orioles, 5-4. Bauers had three RBIs and Ji-Man Choi homered after Baltimore grabbed a 3-0 lead.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Gary Woodland started slowly before taking the first-round lead at the PGA Championship in St. Louis.
He fired a 6-under 64 that gives him a one-stroke lead over Rickie Fowler. Woodland was 1-over before making birdie at the par-5 eighth. He also birdied the next hole and added five more on the back nine to pass Fowler, who emerged as the early leader.
Brandon Stone and Zach Johnson are two shot back and one ahead of world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, who was tied atop the leaderboard before faltering late in his round.
Tiger Woods is six off the pace following an even-par 70.
Meanwhile, Golfweek is reporting the PGA of America is trying to regain control of computer servers that have kept officials from accessing files for the PGA Championship.
The magazine says on its website that PGA staff members discovered their systems had been compromised when attempts to access files generated a message that the network had been penetrated and that any attempt to break the encryption could cause files to be lost.
