He has been assigned a high risk assessment by the North Dakota Risk Level committee of the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office.

Conviction Date: August 2013, in Grand Forks ND, District Court.

Any attempts to harass, intimidate or threaten these offenders, their families, landlords, or employers will be turned over for prosecution.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is offering a grief support group for anyone who is grieving the loss of someone important to them, whether the loss is recent or from years past. The group will meet once a week at 7:00 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church, 302 2nd Ave SE in Jamestown beginning on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 and will run for 6 weeks.
In his book, Understanding Your Grief, internationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, Dr. Alan Wolfelt states, “You can benefit from a connectedness that comes from people who have also had a death in their lives. Support groups, where people come together and share the common bond of experience, can be invaluable in helping you and your grief and supporting your need to mourn long after the event of the death”
In our fast paced society, people who have had a significant loss are often expected to be ‘over it’ in a matter of a few weeks. They may even expect this of themselves. In reality, it may take years for someone to work through his or her grief. The support group experience allows individuals to express grief in their own unique way and on their own unique timetable.
The group is free of charge, however, participants are asked to register to ensure that enough materials are available. Participants should plan to attend all six sessions. For more information, or to register, please call Diane at 701-320-4915 or Eileen 701-269-4521.
Jamestown (CSi) Twice a year, the position of the sun in the sky causes interference to reception of TV channels such as ESPN, CNN, and others, that are delivered via satellite. It happens in the spring and in the fall. The duration lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes during daytime hours – noon to 4pm – now through March 7.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man serving 40 years in prison for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend is appealing his murder conviction to the state Supreme Court.
A jury last May convicted 28-year-old Bradley Morales in the August 2017 death of 25-year-old Sharmaine Leake after an apparent domestic dispute. She died six days later when her family took her off life support.
Morales was sentenced last September.
The Minot Daily News reports Morales argues in his appeal that the trial judge violated his constitutional rights by committing procedural errors and by denying Morales’ request to represent himself.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the appeal March 19 in Bismarck.

NHL-TRADE DEADLINE
Stone traded to Vegas
UNDATED (AP) — The Vegas Golden Knights picked up a point-a-game forward, the Nashville Predators tweaked their sputtering power play, the Pittsburgh Penguins bolstered their blueline and the Winnipeg Jets made a series of moves before Monday’s NHL trade deadline.
The Knights acquired Mark Stone from Ottawa for defense prospect Erik Brannstrom, forward Oscar Lindberg and the Dallas Stars’ 2020 second-round pick. Vegas also received minor league forward Tobias Lindberg in the trade.
Stone told TSN in Canada that he’s already agreed to a contract extension with the Knights rather than test the free agent market this summer.
Stone has 28 goals and 34 assists for 62 points through 59 games this season. He joins a team that has dropped 10 of 13 to fall to sixth in the Western Conference, just four points ahead of ninth-place Colorado.
The Predators picked up Wayne Simmonds from Philadelphia for fellow forward Ryan Hartman and a conditional 2020 draft pick. Simmonds is on pace for his sixth straight 20-goal season and joins a club that ranks last in power play percentage.
Nashville also traded young forward Kevin Fiala (fee-AH’-lah) to the Wild for Mikael Granlund, who has collected 18 of his 49 points on the power play this season.
The Pens have added defensemen Chris Wideman from Florida and Erik Gudbranson from Vancouver. Pittsburgh sent forward Tanner Pearson to the Canucks for Gudbranson and center Jean-Sebastian Dea to the Panthers for Wideman.
The arrival of Wideman and Gudbranson comes after blueliners Kris Letang (leh-TANG’) and Brian Dumoulin DOO’-muh-lihn) were banged up in Saturday’s loss at Philadelphia. Defenseman Olli Maata (OH’-lee MAH’-tah) remains on the Penguins’ injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
The Jets were part of six trades on Monday, including the acquisition of forward Kevin Hayes from the Rangers. The 26-year-old Hayes has furnished 14 goals and 42 points in 51 games this season.
The Rangers get forward Brendan Lemieux, a 2019 first-round pick and a conditional 2020 fourth round pick they get only if the Jets win the Stanley Cup this spring.
A total of 32 players were packaged in 20 trades on Monday.
In other NHL moves:
— The Red Wings sent forward Gustav Nyquist to the Sharks for a 2019 second-round draft pick and a conditional 2020 third-round pick.
— The Bruins snared forward Marcus Johansson from the Devils for a second-round pick this year and a fourth-rounder next season. New Jersey also shipped goaltender Keith Kincaid to the Blue Jackets for a 2022 fifth-round draft selection.
— The Blue Jackets landed defenseman Adam McQuaid from the Rangers for defenseman Julius Bergman and both fourth- and seventh-round draft choices this year.
— Center Derick Brassard is changing dressing rooms again after being traded by the Panthers to the Avalanche, one month after Florida acquired him from Pittsburgh.
— The Coyotes acquired Michael Chaput in a trade that sends Jordan Weal to the Montreal Canadiens in a swap of centers..
— The Flames added some depth to their blue line by acquiring Oscar Fantenberg from the Kings for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2020.

— The Rockies have agreed to a three-year contract extension with manager Bud Black through 2022 after he guided the team to back-to-back playoff appearances. The 61-year-old Black has posted a 178-147 record since being named Colorado’s manager on Nov. 7, 2016. His .548 winning percentage is the best in franchise history

NFL says Kraft won’t receive special treatment
UNDATED (AP) — The NFL says it will handle the sex solicitation case involving New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft as it would any other issue under the league’s personal conduct policy.
The 77-year-old owner has been charged with soliciting a prostitute in Florida as part of a crackdown on sex trafficking. Hundreds of arrest warrants have been issued. Police are still investigating and there likely will be a league inquiry.
Commissioner Roger Goodell could fine or suspend Kraft from any activities involving the Super Bowl champions.
The NFL says it will “take appropriate action as warranted based on the facts.”

Robinson was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
