JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — The Highway Patrol says it has arrested a sex offender who walked away from a civil commitment at the North Dakota State Hospital.
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown community is invited to a video showing from 1975 of the Closing of The Opera House. The original video was recorded by Pat Bennett, and will be shown 3pm Sunday June 23 at the Jamestown Arts Center.
On Wed’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, an organizer of the event, Bruce Berg, said the video replay of the 1975 tribute is at the Jamestown Arts Center, starting at 3-p.m.
The video runs for about two hours. Bruce said those attending need not stay for all two hours.
The original video was recorded by Pat Bennett, and has been held in the video archives at CSi TV 10 The Replay Channel.
The presentation of the video is shown with permission of CSi TV 10 – The Replay Channel. The video was previously aired on The Replay Channel in 2015.
He thanks CSi’s Roy Sheppard and Thomas Ravely for their assistance in making the public showing possible.
He also thanked Arts Center, Director, Mindi Schmitz, along with Sally Jepsen and Angela Martini.
Bruce said the idea for the public showing came in part from historian Mark Strand of Fargo.
During the tribute, those speaking included, Jamestown residents, including many of whom have since passed away.
Those speaking included, Master of Ceremonies, Bob Melland, along with reflections from, Mary Cusator, Ernie Hauser, Lenus Carlson, Don Wanner, Patty Boss, Bud Murphy and Mary Young, along with, then, North Dakota Lt. Governor, Wayne Sanstead.

Lloyd’s Opera House opened in Jamestown in 1896, and closed as the Opera House in 1941. It reopened as the Grand Theater in 1942, on 5th Avenue and 2nd Street Northeast and closed in the late 1950’s.
Also, the Star Theater, now the location of the Jamestown Arts Center, opened in 1930 and still listed as still open in the late 1950s.
The State Theater, originally the Bijou, opened in 1930 and was still listed as open in 1956.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Court officials and lawyers in North Dakota say few people have tried to undo convictions for refusing DUI blood tests in the year since a state Supreme Court opinion offered a narrow pathway for doing so.
The state Supreme Court ruled that a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision that found it unconstitutional to criminalize refusal of a warrantless blood draw applies retroactively. The 2016 decision was based on cases in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The North Dakota Supreme Court said in its ruling that any post-conviction relief applies “in very limited circumstances.” Even so, Bismarck attorney Dan Herbel, who argued in both the 2016 and 2018 cases, tells the Bismarck Tribune he’s not sure if people know they can petition to have the DUI blood test cases thrown out.

In world and national news..
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve expects inflation to finish this year noticeably below its 2% target, a trend that could make it more likely policymakers will cut short-term interest rates in the coming months.
In its latest set of economic projections, Fed policymakers forecast that its preferred inflation gauge would increase just 1.5% by the end of 2019 compared with a year earlier, down from its March forecast of 1.8%. It sees core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy categories, finishing the year at 1.8%, down from 2% in March.
Fed policymakers also note in their statement that financial markets are expecting inflation to slow. That is typically a concern because inflation expectations can become self-fulfilling. If business executives, for example, expect inflation will be lower, they will likely limit their own price increases.
In April, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said that the weak inflation readings would be “transitory.”
PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix advocacy groups are calling for a rally outside City Hall, followed by a march to the regular scheduled City Council meeting to demand police department reform after release of a videotape showing officers pointing guns and cursing at a family.
The groups rallying Wednesday demand the firing of the officers. They also seek creation of an oversight board of civilians to ensure recommendations made for department reforms over the past decade are put into place.
Last month’s incident targeting a young black couple and their two small daughters has sparked an outcry around the country.
The couple says their 4-year-old daughter stole a doll from a store without their knowledge.
No charges have been filed against the couple who has filed a $10 million claim against the city.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s defining venture since leaving the Obama White House is the Biden Cancer Initiative, a nonprofit aimed at speeding a cancer cure in memory of his son Beau, who succumbed to the disease in 2015.
The former vice president’s two-year stint leading his nonprofit relied on the financial pledges and work of more than 200 health care industry firms and organizations.
But many of the health care organizations Biden has promoted have financial or regulatory interests before the government. This, ethics experts say, raises questions about the industry’s potential influence if he returns to the White House.
Biden and his wife, Jill, dropped off the nonprofit’s board in April, and his campaign says that if he wins election, Biden would issue an executive order to enforce tightened ethics standards.
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Netflix’s first Arabic original series has sparked a conservative backlash on its home turf of Jordan.
In a Netflix statement, the show’s writer Bassel Ghandour had hailed the series “Jinn” as a “real turning point” for Jordanian representation.
The five-episode thriller centers on a group of privileged teenagers who visit a wide-open desert haunted by ancient demons that make strange and terrifying things happen.
But many Jordanians were shocked and appalled by the show after it debuted last week.
The show’s scenes of youths drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and dating has offended many among a conservative Muslim public, and highlighted the gap with its Western-allied ruling elite.
The attorney general demanded the authorities “take immediate, necessary action” to pull it from Netflix, but they have yet to do so.
LONDON (AP) — The contest to become Britain’s next prime minister is down to four candidates, with Boris Johnson building on his commanding lead in a Conservative Party vote.
Johnson gained 143 of 313 votes cast by Conservative lawmakers Wednesday in their third round of voting.
He’s being chased by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Environment Secretary Michael Gove and Home Secretary Sajid Javid.
International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, a longshot candidate who energized the race, received the fewest votes and drops out.
Two more votes are scheduled for Thursday to whittle the field down to two. The final two contenders will go to a by-mail ballot of all 160,000 Conservative Party members nationwide.
The winner is due to be announced in late July, and will replace Theresa May as party leader and prime minister.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cold War-era spy satellite images are showing scientists that glaciers on the Himalayas are now melting about twice as fast as they used to.
The Asian mountain range, which includes Mount Everest, has been losing ice at a rate of about 1% a year since 2000, according to a study Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.
Using 3D satellite images, researchers calculate that the Himalayas have been losing about 8.3 billion tons (7.5 billion metric tons) of ice a year, compared 4.3 billion tons (3.9 billion metric tons) a year between 1975 and 2000.
The loss of the ice means current and future disruptions of water supplies for the hundreds of millions of people in the region who rely on it for hydropower, agriculture, and drinking.
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say two rockets have landed on oil company sites in Iraq’s southern Basra province, one landing near the facilities of a Turkish company just hours after a similar attack on an Exxon Mobil Corp. site that injured three local workers, one seriously.
There were no immediate reports of damage at the service company in the compound in Burjesia. The company is affiliated with British Petroleum.
The security and oil officials said the rockets fired were Katyushas. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Iraqi officials said they are investigating the source of the attack.
The first rocket landed to the south, near the facilities of the Iraqi Drilling Company, not far from the site of energy giant Exxon Mobil. Some 40 staff of Exxon Mobil were later evacuated.
