Jamestown (CSi) Starting February 1, 2019, Stutsman County will be changing its emergency notification service from CodeRED to a company called Everbridge. Even though the change won’t occur for another few months, the process of making the switch has already begun.
Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist says CodeRED will continue to be utilized until the switch is made on February 1. However, if you were registered for emergency notifications through the CodeRED system, you will need to re-register to continue receiving notifications from the new “Stutsman Alerts” system powered by Everbridge.

Those individuals receiving their annual property tax statements in the mail over the next few days will also be receiving an insert briefly explaining the change in notification services. As with CodeRED, all land-line telephone numbers will automatically be entered into the Everbridge system. However, those individual with cell phones need to register their phone numbers in order to receive emergency notification messages.
Bergquist, adds, “We are currently in the process of learning the new “Stutsman Alerts” system powered by Everbridge. But, we believe we’re ready for individuals who want to register their phones now in preparation for the February 1 switchover.”
Anyone with questions should contact Stutsman County Emergency Management at 701-252-9093.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas State hired Chris Klieman of North Dakota State to lead its football program Monday night, passing the reins from retired Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder to someone with three Football Championship Subdivision titles but little Big 12 experience.
Klieman was hired to lead the Bison by current Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor, and was seen as one of the front-runners for the Wildcats’ job ever since Snyder announced his retirement.
Klieman agreed to a six-year contract with a base salary of $2.3 million next season, increasing by $200,000 each subsequent season. The deal includes a number of other incentives.
“You know, you work in this profession as long as I have, to have the opportunity to coach at this level, and I know there are going to be some people that would say, ‘Am I ready for this?’” Klieman said shortly after the announcement on his weekly radio show. “Football is football, and I know there’s a difference between Power-5 and FCS. I know there’s a difference between FCS and FBS. But by the same respect, football is football, and we’ve done really well against those schools.”
Taylor initially targeted North Texas coach Seth Littrell, but he announced last week that he would remain with the Mean Green. Attention quickly shifted to Klieman, who has the Bison in the FCS semifinals against South Dakota State on Friday night as they seek a fourth title in five seasons.
Klieman will be allowed to coach the Bison in that game. Whether he would remain with the school for the championship game should North Dakota State advance is still under discussion.
Kansas State will introduce him at a news conference Wednesday.

NFL-NEWS
Raiders fired GM Reggie McKenzie
UNDATED (AP) — Reggie McKenzie was the NFL Executive of the Year less than two years ago. He’s unemployed today.
The Oakland Raiders have fired McKenzie, who was in his seventh season as the team’s general manager. The Raiders seemed like contenders when they went 12-4 in 2016, but they find themselves 3-10 this season after compiling a 6-10 record last year.
McKenzie’s status was in doubt ever since coach Jon Gruden was given a 10-year contract last January to take charge of the football operation for the Raiders. McKenzie’s influence had waned since then as the Raiders cut ties with several of the players he had acquired, most notably edge rusher Khalil Mack and receiver Amari Cooper.

USOC-SEX ABUSE
USOC fires Ashley
UNDATED (AP) — The U.S. Olympic Committee has fired chief of sport performance Alan Ashley. The decision comes in the wake of an independent report that said neither he nor former CEO Scott Blackmun elevated concerns about the Larry Nassar sexual abuse allegations when they were first reported to them.
The 233-page independent report was released Monday. It detailed an overall lack of response when the USOC leaders first heard about the Nassar allegations from the then-president of USA Gymnastics, Steve Penny.
Blackmun resigned in February because of health concerns.
The report concludes that lack of action allowed Nassar to abuse dozens more girls over the 14 months of silence.
