Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School District has set September 24, 2019 for a public vote on a proposed mill levy increase to update existing facilities.
The vote will be asking residents to approve or disapprove of increasing the mills from 10 to 20.
It’s estimated that if the referendum is successful, the impact on a $100,000 home would create a tax of around $45 annually or $3.75 month.
The special vote will be held in the Jamestown Middle School’s Thompson Community Room. Polls open from 7-a.m. to 7 -p.m.
Absentee Voting Applications available at the School District Office at 207 Second Avenue Southeast.
Jamestown (JPD) The Jamestown Police Department reminds residents to lock their vehicle and keep valuables out of sight.
In the news release, Police Lt. Sid Mann says, “These individuals generally rely on their ability to access a large number of vehicles while circulating through the neighborhood and therefore rarely force entry for fear of making noise and risking detection. These incidents typically occur during the overnight hours and are not reported until the next morning when the owner recognizes property missing or out of place.”
Because of this, the Jamestown Police Department is encouraging everyone to lock their vehicles when unattended and to not leave anything of value in vehicles, especially items visible to potential perpetrators.
Things of value include money, electronics, prescription medication and firearms. JPD also advises the community to park in garages and driveways whenever possible. Motion lights and outdoor surveillance systems often prevent theft.
He adds, “Lock your vehicles, remove valuables from view, do not leave any prescription medications in your vehicle, and especially do not leave firearms or other weapons in an unlocked vehicle.”
Report any suspicious behavior to the Jamestown Police Department by calling 911 or 701-252-1000. Report any incident where you believe someone entered your vehicle without permission.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol has identified the man who died in a fiery crash near Devils Lake.
Authorities say 52-year-old LeRoy Schocker Jr. was driving a pickup truck on state Highway 20 when he left the roadway and struck a large utility pole on Saturday evening.
The pickup caught fire. Schocker, from Devils Lake, died at the scene.
Authorities say conditions were clear and sunny at the time of the crash.
MEDORA, N.D. (AP) — A teenage visitor to a national park has been injured by a bison.
Officials at Theodore Roosevelt National Park say the 17-year-old victim from Colorado was on a trail Saturday and walked between two bull bison that had been fighting. One bison charged the teen who was struck in the back, gored in the thigh and tossed about six feet in the air.
Park rangers and Billings County paramedics treated the teen at the scene until the victim could be taken by helicopter to a Bismarck hospital. Authorities say the teen is in stable condition.
Park regulations require that visitors stay at least 25 yards away from large animals such as bison, elk, deer and horses.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Hundreds of new laws are about to hit the books in North Dakota.
The range from decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana to making it a crime to improperly pass off a pet as a service animal.
But the one North Dakotans might notice most is the one that allows businesses to throw their doors open on Sunday mornings.
That undoes one of the state’s so-called blue laws that have been in place since statehood.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — A recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey says it could take hundreds of years for the salt concentrations the Williston Basin in North Dakota to return to normal levels in groundwater.
Brine makes its way up to the earth’s surface when oil and gas is extracted. Today, saltwater is injected back underground for storage. Decades ago, brine was dumped into temporary “reserve” pits at well sites or at central collection facilities known as “evaporation” pits.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that brine contamination can make water wells unusable as global amphibian populations are in decline.
The research analyzed water quality, sediment and tadpoles at 32 wetland sites across Montana and North Dakota in the Williston Basin. Some areas in the basin can meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s “acute” toxicity benchmark by 2045.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say Fargo’s 8-foot-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty has been stolen.
KFGO radio reports the 150-pound statue that was mounted on a pedestal at the entrance of the Veterans Memorial Bridge was reported missing Monday.
Mayor Tim Mahoney says a construction camera near the area that takes hourly photos indicates the theft took place early Sunday morning.
Mahoney called the theft “disrespectful” but says no charges will be filed if it is returned in the next week.
The statue was presented to the city nearly 70 years ago by the Lions Club. It stood for years in Island Park before being moved to the bridge in the late 1980’s.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Two former Minot nurses accused of stealing prescribed drugs for hospice patients have each been sentenced to three years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports that 40-year-old April Beckler and 47-year-old Kim Kochel were sentenced on Friday. They pleaded guilty in May to endangering a vulnerable adult and criminal conspiracy.
Prosecutors say Kochel and Beckler stole the drugs between December 2012 and September 2014 while working for Trinity Hospice.
Family members of some of the victims testified Friday that the patients suffered excruciating pain because they were not receiving the pain medication that had been prescribed after Kochel or Beckler diluted it or substituted less potent medication.

MLB…
UNDATED (AP) _ Miguel Sanó (sah-NOH’) belted a three-run homer while the Twins scored five times in the first inning of an 11-1 pounding of the White Sox. Jorge Polanco, Jonathan Schoop (skohp) and Max Kepler also connected as Minnesota ran its major league-leading total to 205 home runs. The AL Central leaders took three of four in Chicago and moved two games ahead of second-place Cleveland.
_ Stephen Strasburg is the major league victory leader after improving to 14-4 in the Nationals’ 11-4 rout of the Dodgers. Strasburg struck out nine, walked none and limited a potent Dodgers lineup to one run and two hits over seven innings to win his seventh consecutive start. Brian Dozier and Juan Soto homered, while Anthony Rendon (rehn-DOHN’) drove in four as Washington climbed back within 5 ½ games of the NL East-leading Braves.
_ Didi Gregorius (DEE’-dee greh-GOHR’-ee-uhs) and Austin Romine each hit two-run homers off Chris Sale as the Yankees outscored the Red Sox, 9-6 to avoid a four-game sweep. Domingo Germán (gehr-MAHN’) took a no-hitter into the fourth inning and allowed four hits while striking out nine over 5 1/3 to move to 13-2. The Red Sox committed three errors to fall into third in the AL East, nine games behind the Yankees.
_ The Indians wasted a 5-3 lead and a three-run homer by Carlos Santana in a 9-6 loss to the Royals. Trevor Bauer imploded during Kansas City’s five-run fifth and threw a ball over the wall in center field after being pulled by Cleveland manager Terry Francona. Nicky Lopez hit a two-run single in the fifth, Ryan O’Hearn drove in a pair and Jorge Soler (soh-LEHR’) smacked a solo homer for the Royals.
The Chicago Cubs have regained their share of first place in the National League Central by salvaging the finale of their three-game series in Milwaukee.
Kyle Schwarber was the hitting star in the Cubs’ 11-4 mauling of the Brewers, hitting a grand slam and a three-run homer off Kyle Davies. Milwaukee got within 7-3 until Schwarber singled and scored on Victor Caratini’s three-run shot.
Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (YEH’-lihch-ehz) extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a run-scoring double in the fifth to chase Cubs starter Jose Quintana, who failed to get the win despite being staked to a seven-run lead. Quintana gave up four hits and three runs in 4 2/3 innings, but the Cubs moved into a tie with St. Louis for the division lead.
The Brewers remain one game back.
The Cardinals were 6-2 losers to the Astros as the AL West leaders picked up the ninth victory in their last 11 games. George Springer led off the game with a home run before Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) and rookie Yordan (yohr-DAHN’) Alvarez went deep.

Elsewhere on major league diamonds:
_ J.T. Realmuto launched a grand slam and three other Phillies went deep in a 9-4 thumping of Atlanta. Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Adam Haseley also homered for Philadelphia, which pulled within 6½ games of the NL-East leading Braves. Aaron Nola improved to 9-2 and helped the Phils avoid a three-game sweep by cruising through six scoreless innings before faltering in the seventh.
_ Madison Bumgarner won his final start before the trade deadline as the Giants downed the Padres, 7-6. Bumgarner was reached for just four hits over seven innings, including Hunter Renfroe’s three-run homer. Rookie Mike Yastrzemski (ya-STREHM’-skee) had four hits, drove in two and scored the go-ahead run.
_ The Mets tied a season high with their fourth straight win as Michael Conforto’s two-run homer ignited a six-run first in an 8-7 downing of the Pirates. Jason Vargas won a third straight start for the first time since last August, allowing three runs over 5 2/3 innings. New York sent Pittsburgh to its eighth straight loss and improved to 10-5 since the All-Star break.
_ Tucker Barnhart’s RBI single in the sixth inning broke a 2-2 tie in the Reds’ 3-2 win over the Rockies. Barnhart is 4-for-5 in two games since returning on Friday after missing 22 straight with a right oblique strain. Raisel Iglesias gave up a pair of two-out singles in the ninth before getting Ian Desmond to ground out for his second save in two days.

_ Joey Wendle’s RBI grounder broke a 9-9 deadlock and capped the Rays’ rally from an 8-1 deficit in a 10-9 triumph over the Blue Jays. Ji-Man Choi and Guillermo Heredia (gee-HER’-moh heh-RAY’-dee-ah) each hit two-run homers and Willy Adames (ah-DAH’-mehs) added a game-tying solo shot in the eighth. The comeback prevented Aaron Sanchez from ending his 13-game losing streak since April 27.
_ Matt Thaiss smacked his second home run of the game in the bottom of the ninth to give the Angels a 5-4 victory over the Orioles. Albert Pujols (POO’-hohlz) slammed his 650th homer and the Angels avoided being swept at home in a four-game series by Baltimore for the first time. Trey Mancini and Jonathan Villar (vee-AHR’) each drove in two runs, but the last-place Orioles could not complete their first four-game sweep in more than two years.
_ The Mariners have extended their winning streak to five games by beating the Tigers, 3-2 on J.P. Crawford’s walk-off single with one out in the 10th inning. Dylan Moore led off the winning rally with a double against José Cisnero and scored the winning run as Seattle handed Detroit its sixth consecutive loss.

In world and national news…
GILROY, Calif. (AP) — Edward and Jane Jacobucci said they were standing at their booth selling garlic graters when the shooting started Sunday afternoon at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
Edward Jacobucci said the shooting was “absolute chaos.” ”It happened right in front of our booth,” he said.
Jane Jacobucci described the shooter as a tall, thin young man in camouflage with a big gun.
She said her husband threw her to the ground when the shooting started.
Three people were killed and at least 15 others injured in the shooting. Also dead is the shooter, who used a rifle and gained entry to the packed festival by cutting through a fence to avoid the tight security, including metal detectors, police said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats is leaving his job next month, ending a two-year tenure marked by President Donald Trump’s clashes with intelligence officials.
Trump tweeted Sunday that the nation’s top intelligence official would step aside on Aug. 15, and that he would nominate a Texas congressman, Republican John Ratcliffe, to the post.
Coats frequently appeared out of step with Trump and disclosed to prosecutors how he was urged by the president to publicly deny any link between Russia and the Trump campaign. The frayed relationship reflected broader divisions between the president and the government’s intelligence agencies.
Ratcliffe is a frequent Trump defender who questioned special counsel Robert Mueller last week during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing growing accusations of racism for his incendiary tweets, President Donald Trump is seeking to deflect the criticism by labeling a leading black congressman as himself racist.
In the latest rhetorical shot at non-white lawmakers, Trump said Sunday that his weekend comments referring to Rep. Elijah Cummings’ majority-black Baltimore district as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live” were not racist. Instead, Trump argued, “if racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess.”
His comments capped a weekend of attacks on Cummings, the son of former sharecroppers who rose to become the powerful chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican pathway for recapturing House control in next year’s election charges straight through the districts of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents, especially freshmen. Judging from early but formidable cash advantages those lawmakers have amassed, ousting them won’t be easy.
Each of the 62 freshmen House Democrats has raised more money than their top opponent. The same is true for all 31 Democrats from districts President Donald Trump had won in 2016, and all 39 Democrats who snatched Republican-held seats last November.
In nearly all cases it’s not even close. Most of these Democrats’ war chests are multiples of what their leading challengers have garnered.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says at least 20 people were killed during a complex attack Sunday against the office of the president’s running mate.
Interior Ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi said Monday around 50 other people were wounded in the attack against the Green Trend office in the capital Kabul.
Several gunmen were holed up inside the building for six hours before being killed by security forces, said Rahimi.
The attackers’ potential target, vice-presidential candidate and former intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh, was “evacuated from the building and moved to a safe location,” Rahimi said. Some 85 civilians were rescued from inside.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Taliban insurgents and the Islamic State group are active in the capital and have carried out attacks there in the past.
WASHINGTON (AP) — California Sen. Kamala (KAH’-mah-lah) Harris is filling in the details of how she would move 330 million Americans onto a single government health insurance system, her fullest statements to date on an issue on which she has sometimes had to clarify her views.
Harris is a supporter of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” legislation but still envisions a role for the private system — just as long as it takes its lead from the government. Medicare for All would replace the Affordable Care Act with a single-payer health plan for all Americans.
And Harris says as president she’d make a slower transition period between current policy and the ultimate goal of a single-payer system, giving 10 years instead of four for a full transition.
MOSCOW (AP) — A doctor who saw Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in the hospital says he may have been poisoned.
Anastasiya Vasilyeva, who has been Navalny’s physician for several years, said on Monday that the swelling and the rash on his face could be consistent with chemical poisoning.
Vasilyeva said that hospital officials who previously diagnosed Navalny with an allergic reaction refused to run the necessary tests on him.
Navalny was rushed to the hospital Sunday from a detention facility where he is serving a 30-day sentence for calling an unsanctioned protest. He was arrested several days after a major opposition rally on Saturday that ended with nearly 1,400 people detained.
Navalny ally Leonid Volkov on Sunday complained about “anti-sanitary conditions” at the detention facility where he had also been detained before.
