Jamestown (CSi) The City of Jamestown invites the public to give their input into alley and curbside garbage collection options with two Open House dates set, Friday September 28 9-a.m. to 2-p.m., at the Jamestown City Fire Hall, at 209 Second Avenue Northwest, and again at that location on Saturday September 29 from 9-a.m. to 2-p.m.

At least one City staff person will be present to answer questions and listen to comments. Residents are invited to comment on alley and curbside waste collection to be included on the list compiled for City Council.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s largest rancher organization has new leadership.Dan Rorvig of McVille was elected president of the Stockmen’s Association and Jeff Schafer of New Rockford was elected vice president at the group’s recent 89th annual convention and trade show in Bismarck.The Stockmen’s Association represents more than 3,000 cattle-ranching families, and administers the state’s brand inspection and recording programs. Officers serve up to two one-year terms.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man has become the first resident to use a program designed to help low- and moderate-income households affected by the 2011 Souris River flood remain in the city.

Forty-eight-year-old Bryan Juenger rebuilt his home in the flood plain after 2011 because of uncertainty over whether the city would have the money to buy him out. The buyout eventually materialized, and Juenger turned to the Resilient Homebuyer Program to help buy a new home.

The Minot Daily News reports Mayor Shaun Sipma says the hope is that up to 100 residents will ultimately use the program funded with up to $3 million in federal money.

The June 2011 flood caused by heavy spring snowmelt and rains damaged or destroyed thousands of buildings in Minot and caused an estimated $1 million in damage in the region.

FARIBAULT, Minn. (AP) — The National Weather Service has confirmed that tornadoes struck near the southern Minnesota communities of Granada and Morristown.

Survey crews from the weather service fanned out across southern Minnesota on Friday to assess the damage from severe storms that struck Thursday evening, packing powerful winds and heavy rain. The hardest-hit area included Rice County, around 40 miles south of Minneapolis. But there were no immediate reports of injuries.

The Weather Service says radar data and spotter reports indicated a few additional tornadoes likely occurred with the storms, but it has not yet assigned ratings to any of the tornadoes.

In sports…

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department is issuing only three bighorn sheep hunting licenses this year because the western Badlands population is still dealing with a deadly bacterial pneumonia outbreak.

Biologists counted 77 rams in a summer survey, which was 12 fewer than last year and 27 fewer than in 2016, according to big game management biologist Brett Wiedmann. They also counted only four yearling rams.

A disease event like the pneumonia outbreak that was first detected in 2014 can have a long-term effect on lamb survival, according to state Wildlife Chief Jeb Williams.

“We are seeing that impact now,” he said. “Sometimes it takes up to 15 years to work out of the system.”

The outbreak killed about three dozen sheep in 2014, leading Game and Fish to cancel the late-fall hunting season in 2015 for the first time in more than three decades. The agency issued eight licenses the following year after the deaths tapered off.

But last year, the disease spread to three previously unaffected herds and a summer survey documented a significant drop in the number of rams, which hunters seek for their trophy horns. Game and Fish reduced the number of licenses to five.

A population survey that was completed in March counted 265 bighorns, which was the smallest population since 2006.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is denying a report in The New York Times that he suggested last year that he secretly record President Donald Trump in the White House to expose chaos in the administration. Rosenstein says the story is “inaccurate and factually incorrect.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Susan Collins says she’s “appalled” by President Donald Trump’s tweet challenging Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser by name. Earlier Friday, Trump had abruptly abandoned his restraint and said if the attack had been that “bad” then she would have filed charges. Collins, a key Republican vote in the narrowly divided Senate, said in Portland, Maine: “I was appalled by the president’s tweet.”

NEW YORK (AP) — She says he sexually assaulted her; he denies it. Is somebody deliberately lying? Not necessarily. Experts say that because of how memory works, it’s possible that both Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who says he pinned her down and groped her when they were teenagers believe what they say.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Evacuations are continuing in areas affected by Hurricane Florence. Rescuers used helicopters, boats and high-wheeled military vehicles to evacuate about 100 people Friday from a southeastern North Carolina county where high water breached a levee and flooded a town.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Evangelical activists say Republican leaders need to act more forcefully to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s nomination is a key issue for faith leaders and activists who are gathering at the annual Values Voter summit in Washington. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, the organizer of the conference, says Republicans need to move “more aggressively.” Perkins added the Senate has been “very accommodating” to Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey (BLAH’-zee) Ford.
