Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown City Fire Department was called to an apartment unit fire shortly after 5:30p.m., Monday.

Lt. Sheldon Mohr says, an upper floor apartment of the three level building, at 503 15th street Southeast sustained fire damage, with water damage, along with water damage to the units on the two lower levels.No injuries were reported.

The occupant of the fire unit was attended to by first responders from Jamestown Area Ambulance service but declined medical treatment.

Occupants of the 12-unit apartment building were displaced, due to high carbon monoxide levels in the building, with assistance by the American Red Cross Chapter, and others seeking other living accommodations.

Five city fire units and 29 fire fighters were on the scene over an hour.

The cause of the fire was  most probably caused by unattended cooking.

 

Jamestown  (CSi)  —This month, sites in the Jamestown area will be among 5,000 U.S. drop-off locations collecting shoebox gifts for children overseas during Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, Nov. 12-19.

Jamestown families, churches and groups are busy transforming empty shoeboxes into fun gifts filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items. The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received.

This year, Jamestown-area residents hope to collect more than 11,311 gifts to contribute to the 2018 global goal of reaching 11 million children.

Regional Director, Gia Garey Moser says, “We are honored to be linking arms with our community to help children around the world experience the true meaning of Christmas. These simple gifts show God’s love to children facing difficult circumstances.”

The Jamestown collection site Is Temple Baptist Church at 1200 12th Avenue NE

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck man accused of killing his infant daughter has pleaded not guilty.

Twenty-two-year-old Jose Rivera-Rieffel is charged with murder, child abuse and disobedience of a judicial order in the death of the 3-month-old girl in April.

Authorities say the child died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Last year, Rivera-Rieffel pleaded guilty to child abuse involving another baby and was ordered to have no contact with the child. The babies’ mother, Jennyfer Lopez, pleaded guilty in August to contributing to the deprivation of a minor for leaving the children in Rivera-Rieffel’s care.

He faces up to life in prison without parole if convicted of murder. Trial was not immediately scheduled.

 

 

DOUGLAS, N.D. (AP) — A 34-year-old Douglas man will spend more than a year in prison for driving drunk and injuring a woman and two children younger than 8 years old who were riding in the car.

Authorities say Edwin Zuck was drunk and speeding on a gravel road in May 2017 when he rolled the vehicle. One of the child passengers had to be airlifted to a Fargo hospital with internal injuries.

The Minot Daily News reports that Zuck recently pleaded guilty to a felony criminal vehicular injury charge and was sentenced to serve 16 months in prison. He’ll then be on supervised probation for three years. He also was ordered to pay $5,890 in restitution and $1,100 in court costs.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota farmers made little progress on the late-season harvest in the past week due to poor weather.The federal Agriculture Department in its weekly crop report says less than two days was considered suitable for fieldwork.Harvest progress is at 12 percent for corn, 15 percent for sunflowers and 37 percent for soybeans. The sugar beet harvest remains at about the halfway point, and potatoes are at 85 percent.Winter wheat seeding is 87 percent complete, behind the average pace.Sixty-four-percent of subsoil moisture supplies and 77 percent of topsoil moisture supplies are rated adequate to surplus, up slightly over the week.Stockwater supplies are rated 68 percent adequate to surplus, and pastures are rated 36 percent in good to excellent condition. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An outdoor theater complex in Bismarck that was targeted by vandals last summer is installing security cameras.Sleepy Hollow Theatre and Arts Park suffered about $4,000 in damage in July and had to cancel a show. Three teenagers were cited for burglary and criminal mischief after being tracked down through social media postings.Executive Director Susan Lundberg tells The Bismarck Tribune that donations are funding the security equipment, which costs about $7,000.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Jamaican man who authorities said masterminded a lottery scam that defrauded at least 95 Americans out of more than $5.8 million was sentenced Monday to six years in federal prison.Lavrick Willocks, 29, operated the scam out of a Jamaica mansion where he lived with his mother, Dahlia Hunter, prosecutors said. They eventually charged 27 people and identified victims in at least five states: North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina, Texas and Arizona. Authorities said one of the victims died by suicide.All the defendants have pleaded guilty or been convicted, and most have been sentenced, including Hunter, who was sentenced last week to about 1 ½ years of time served.The case is being prosecuted in North Dakota because the investigation began there in 2012, a year after an 82-year-old woman lost her life savings.

Willocks pleaded guilty in July 2017 to conspiracy, and prosecutors dropped 65 other counts of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. He faced up to 40 years in prison, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan O’Konek recommended only about six years because Willocks cooperated and his plea deal prompted several other defendants to also plead guilty.Willocks, who stood and addressed U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland, apologized for his role in the scheme but accused the government of overstating his involvement.”I am being portrayed as something I’m not,” he said. “The government tries to portray me as a mastermind or kingpin, or words to exaggerate the role I played here. If I hadn’t been involved, it wouldn’t have stopped anything.”The Federal Trade Commission estimates lottery scams could be a billion-dollar-a-year industry in Jamaica. The case prosecuted in North Dakota is believed to be the first large-scale Jamaican lottery scam tried in U.S. courts.

(AP) — A few hunting licenses are still available as North Dakota’s deer season nears.The state Game and Fish Department says more than 90 white-tailed doe licenses remain in units 3F1, 3F2 and 4F.The licenses are available only to hunters who haven’t already received a lottery or landowner license, and they’re only available online .

In world and national news…

ISTANBUL (AP) — The U.N. human rights office is urging the immediate and “absolute” lifting of diplomatic immunity enjoyed by any officials or premises in a probe of the disappearance of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi.
