Due to flooding caused by snowmelt and standing water, ND State Highway 200 is closed between mile marker 265 and mile marker 268. This is between Bowdon and US Highway 52.
Eastbound traffic should use State Highway 3 north near Hurdsfield to US Highway 52 southeast, then back to State Highway 200.
Westbound traffic should use US Highway 52 northwest, then south on ND State Highway 3, then west on State Highway 200.
The James River Level in Jamestown on Friday morning is 12.18 feet..
Jamestown (CSi) The City of Jamestown is asking for volunteers to assist with filling and placing sandbags starting at 9:30 a.m. Friday, October 18, 2019 and continuing throughout the day Friday as well as Saturday, October 19, 2019.
Volunteers are asked to report during this period to the west side parking lot of the Jamestown Civic Center.
If City property owners have concerns or questions, please contact City Hall at 701-252-5900 or email at info@jamestownnd.gov.
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Council met in Special Session, Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of considering policies and procedures in relation to flood planning and flood control. Council Member Buchanan was not present.
Travis Dillman of Interstate Engineering said as of Thursday afternoon, 8,000 sandbags have been filled, and more volunteers are needed. City contractors will NOT be used. 60,000 sandbags are earmarked for filling and more bags are to be made for reserve purposes if more are needed.
He said the City of Fargo is providing 40,000 more sandbags with a Memorandum of Understanding to be drawn up by the City Attorney between Jamestown and Fargo.
Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says the sandbags are at no cost to the City of Jamestown, however, the City of Jamestown will pay the transportation costs, at $7,000. Hofmann Trucking of Jamestown will haul the sandbags from Fargo to Jamestown at $350 per load. He said, at this time the flood fighting costs are being paid for by Jamestown residents. If a Presidential Disaster Declaration is made, that would allow local entities to apply for funding and reimbursements.
Darrell Hournbuckle from Interstate Engineering said sandbaggers are also coming from outside of Jamestown.
He said about 200 volunteers will be needed for sandbag placement, on Friday morning.
Volunteers should be at the Civic Center by 9:30-a.m., Friday, and they will be bused to the sandbag placement sites.
The areas identified for sandbagging are the area near the Townhomes near Taco Bell, the area north of Dairy Queen, and homes along 17th Avenue Southwest. 40,000 sandbags will be needed in those areas, and about 20,000 more to be used for quick response mitigation purposes.
Sandbags will be filled on a continuous basis when the goal is made.
Council Members voted unanimously to approve continuing the current flood fighting policies in place, and using city funds for flood fighting purposes.
Anyone needing officials to look at flooding on their property for sandbags should call City Hall during business hours at 252-5900 or after hours at 252-1000 at the LEC Dispatch.
The meeting was shown live on CSi 67.
OMAHA, Nebraska (USACE, Oct 17, 2019) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is increasing releases from Jamestown and Pipestem Dams to a total combined release of 2,400 cubic feet per second (cfs) by Saturday, October 26. Releases will be slowly increased to allow for monitoring of downstream channel conditions. The table below details the release schedule.
| Jamestown Dam Releases (cfs) |
Pipestem Dam Releases (cfs) |
Total Combined Release (cfs) |
|
| Tuesday AM | 1,100 | 800 | 1,900 |
| Tuesday PM | 1,200 | 800 | 2,000 |
| Wednesday AM | 1,200 | 900 | 2,100 |
| Thursday AM | 1,200 | 1,000 | 2,200 |
| Friday AM | 1,200 | 1,100 | 2,300 |
| Saturday AM | 1,200 | 1,200 | 2,400 |
The cities of Jamestown and LaMoure are making the necessary preparations for this increase, and downstream channel capacity through Jamestown will continue to be closely monitored.
Jamestown Dam is currently at pool elevation 1434.9 feet, almost 4 feet above the base of the flood control zone, and rising. Inflow into the reservoir is near 1,400 cfs and the release is 1,000 cfs.
Pipestem Dam is currently at pool elevation 1461.3 feet, almost 19 feet above the base of the flood control zone, and rising. Inflow into the reservoir near 1,700 cfs and the release is 800 cfs. Upstream gages in the basin continue to rise as snowmelt runoff reaches the river.
Releases are being increased with the goal of evacuating the flood control storage from Pipestem and Jamestown reservoirs before winter. Basin conditions are being continuously evaluated and adjustments to the releases will be made as needed. High river flows continue downstream of Jamestown into South Dakota on the James River, and conditions on the entire James River basin are considered in determining project releases.
The Corps of Engineers is coordinating with the Bureau of Reclamation and the cities of Jamestown and LaMoure.
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Tourism, City Promotion, Capital Construction Fund meeting was held Thursday, at the CSi Technology Center, at Historic Franklin School.
Members present included: President Matt Woods, Tena Lawrence, Frank Balak, and Paulette Ritter.
Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund.
Conflict of Interest……None were voted to accept
The Goals and Objectives of Capital Construction Fund were outlined.
Each March 1st and October 1st the grant requests are due.
The Funds are city-held and represent an allocation of 20-percent of the restaurant tax funds collected. The goal for this meeting is to allocate $40,000.
Making presentations were:
Fort Seward – Civil War Camping represented by Jennie Marks, Meggan Smith
The request is for $15,226.05, as Fort Seward wants to offer guests a one of a kind experience, by having the site be the first in the area to offer a “Glamping Site.” Each site will be furnished with authentic 1870’s gear, ensuring a unique experience, while learning some of the historic locations. Modern amenities will be included, including shower facilities. Three to four “Sibley Tents,” are in the plans, built on a platform, which will be furnished.
The site will be open 12 weeks , with the rent between $20 and $30 per night.
The economic impact is $154,000, if fully rented over the 12 weeks.
The board approved, $13,703
The 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse – Citizenship Exhibit represented by Robert Hanna, State Historical Society, Site Manager, from Bismarck, requested $26,795 for the Courthouse Citizenship Exhibit, to help make the 1883 Courthouse the first museum in the United States specifically addressing the exercise of citizenship. Specified rooms in the courthouse will contain various aspects of citizenship. The exhibit dedication and Open House is Planned for May of 2020.
The Board approved, $24,115.
Jack Brown Stadium – First Base Bleachers project, represented by Doug Hogan, requested an additional $50,000, for the bleachers, and press box. Other funding is $145,000 from Jamestown Parks and Recreation, plus private donations.
It was noted that at the March meeting this year, the board allocated $20,000 toward the bleacher project, and asked Jamestown Parks and Recreation to return to the October allocation meeting.
The current bleachers and press box were originally built in the 1960’s, and now present safety concerns. The new bleachers will be raised, and ADA accessible. It related to tourism because the stadium hosts regional conference, state and regional tournaments, at the high school and college level, along with state invitational tournament, amateur, American Legion, Babe Ruth, tournaments.
The improvements allow Jamestown to compete with larger cities to host the tournaments on a rotational basis.
The project is slated to start this fall, with completion anticipated in the spring of 2020.
The board approved funding $1,200, noting other funding sources, and that it is not a “new” visitors experience.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Microsoft Corp. says it’s investing $1.5 million in a group that’s planning a fully autonomous outdoor farm in North Dakota, among other technology projects.
Microsoft President Brad Smith made the announcement Thursday during an event at the company’s Fargo campus. Smith says Microsoft will also provide technology and experts to help develop the Grand Farm project.
Construction on the 40-acre plot south of Fargo is scheduled to begin next year. The farm will include a mix of robotics, online systems and driverless vehicles. The project is being led by Emerging Prairie, a Fargo nonprofit that assists young entrepreneurs.
Smith says he wants to help “bring the Grand Farm to life.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators say drillers set a record for oil production in August.
The Department of Mineral Resources says the state produced an average of 1.47 million barrels of oil daily in August. That’s up from the previous record of 1.44 million barrels a day in set in July.
North Dakota also produced a record 3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in August, up from 2.9 billion cubic feet in July.
Statewide, companies flared 19 percent of all gas produced in August, which is well above the 12 percent target.
There were 15,942 wells producing in August, down a dozen from the record set in July. The August tallies are the latest figures available.
There were 60 drill rigs operating Thursday, down two from the August average.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The latest survey of bankers in rural parts of 10 Plains and Western states showed an improved rural economy this month, but the ongoing trade disputes continue weighing on the economy.
The Rural Mainstreet survey’s overall index climbed to 51.4 for October from 50.1 in September. Any score above 50 suggests a growing economy, while a score below 50 indicates a shrinking economy.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, says federal crop support payments and higher grain prices helped boost October’s index, but noted that nearly three-quarters of bankers “reported continuing negative impacts from the trade war.”
The confidence index, which reflects bankers’ economic expectations six months out, slumped to a dismal 36.5 from September’s already low 42.9.
Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming were surveyed.

NEW YORK (AP) — George Springer and Carlos Correa each hit three-run homers and the Houston Astros got another wild ace off the hook to beat the sloppy New York Yankees 8-3 Thursday night and reach the cusp of a second World Series visit in three years.
The Astros lead the AL Championship Series 3-1, putting the 2017 World Series winners on the brink of a showdown with the NL champion Washington Nationals.

MLB-INDIANS-PÉREZ SURGERY
Indians C Pérez has ankle surgery, expected ready for camp
CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians catcher Roberto Pérez had arthroscopic surgery to remove bone spurs in his right ankle.
The team said Pérez underwent the procedure Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The 30-year-old Pérez is expected to be fully recovered by spring training in February.
Pérez had a career-best season for the Indians, who made him their full-time starter after trading All-Star Yan Gomes to the Washington Nationals in November. Pérez batted .239 with 24 homers and 63 RBIs in 119 games. He entered the season with just 21 homers.
He also played at a Gold Glove level behind the plate, not allowing a passed ball. Perez threw out a league-high 41 percent of would-be base stealers while handling one of baseball’s best pitching staffs.
Only Bill Dicky (1931), Al Todd (1937) and Johnny Bench (1975) caught more games than Pérez without committing a passed ball.
NFL-CHIEFS-BRONCOS
Patrick Mahomes hurts knee in Chiefs’ win over Broncos
DENVER (AP) — Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes injured his right knee in a pileup near the goal line before his Kansas City teammates rallied around their fallen superstar for a 30-6 thrashing of Denver Thursday night.
Backup Matt Moore threw a 57-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs had nine sacks, gave up a season-low 71 yards rushing and snapped a two-game skid in beating the Broncos for the eighth straight time.
His balky left ankle heavily taped, Mahomes completed 10 of 11 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown before he got hurt on a successful sneak on fourth-and-inches at the Denver 5 early in the second quarter.
The Broncos had won two straight after a winless September and were hoping to turn the AFC West upside down by handling the Chiefs their third straight loss.
NFL-JETS-MOSLEY RETURNS
Jets’ C.J. Mosley declares: ‘I’m playing Monday night’
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley says he will play Monday night against the New England Patriots barring any setbacks at practice this week.
Mosley has been sidelined since injuring his groin during the third quarter of the Jets’ season-opening loss to Buffalo. He participated in individual drills Thursday for the first time in his recovery process.
Mosley declared after practice that he will be on the field against the Patriots unless he gets hurt before the game. The team had not previously announced that Mosley will return Monday night.
Mosley’s return would be a huge boost to the Jets’ defense. He made an immediate impact for New York in the opener with an interception returned for a touchdown and a fumble recovery against the Bills before being injured.

Wizards, Beal agree on 2-year, $72 million extension
UNDATED (AP) _ Bradley Beal has agreed on a two-year extension worth nearly $72 million with Washington, a major victory for the Wizards and a move that will keep the All-Star guard out of free agency for at least the next three summers.
The agreement was confirmed Thursday by Beal’s agent, Mark Bartelstein. ESPN first reported the details of the extension.
Beal still had two years left on his existing contract. The extension kicks in for the 2021-22 season, has a player option for the following year and means that Beal won’t be part of what has been shaping up to be an NBA free-agent extravaganza in the summer of 2021.
The Wizards were willing to give Beal a three-year extension that would have been worth about $111 million over three years. Beal went the two-year route and that protects his future options — he could opt out of the deal in the summer of 2022, coinciding with his 10th year in the league. The 10-year milestone is significant: By having that many years of service, Beal would be eligible to sign a new deal worth in excess of $250 million over the next five seasons.

Knights forward Valentin Zykov suspended for 20 games
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights forward Valentin Zykov was suspended Thursday for 20 games without pay for a violation of the NHL’s performance-enhancing substances program, the league said.
The suspension is accompanied by a referral to the league’s program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health for evaluation and possible treatment. The league said it would have no further comment.
The Knights said the franchise respects the league’s decision. In a statement, Zykov said he would work during the suspension to ensure he would be ready to contribute when he returns.
The 24-year-old is the second Knights player to be suspended due to a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. Defenseman Nate Schmidt was suspended 20 games prior to the start of last season.

In world and national news…
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Activists and a Syria war monitor says the Kurdish-led force and Turkey-backed fighters are clashing on the outskirts of Ras al-Ayn, a town along the border that is part of a cease-fire agreement.
The Rojava Information Center and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported fighting in villages on the western and eastern flanks of Ras al-Ayn. The Observatory says at least five people were killed and 14 injured. The Rojava Center said its activists on the ground reported advances by Turkey-backed forces on two villages.
Other activists reported a new exodus of civilians from the villages as fighting continued. A Kurdish fighter said there were attacks near the hospital in the center of Ras al-Ayn. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
The fighting comes despite a U.S.-brokered cease-fire that went into effect late Thursday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House acknowledged that President Donald Trump’s decision to hold up military aid to Ukraine was linked to his demand that Kyiv investigate the Democratic National Committee and the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. It was a shifting new explanation about events at the heart of the impeachment inquiry.
The Thursday admission from acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney undercut the president’s position that there was no quid pro quo during Trump’s phone call with the Ukraine president that sparked the House investigation. Mulvaney claimed his comments were misconstrued, but the sudden turn of events had immediate fallout.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — An extended gun battle with high-caliber weapons has broken out in the streets of Mexico’s Sinaloa state capital.
Local news outlet Riodoce reported Thursday that heavily armed civilians in trucks were firing in downtown Culiacan. Some were shooting what appeared to be .50-caliber sniper rifles and truck-mounted machine guns.
Riodoce reported that there was a heavy deployment of Mexican security forces and gunmen had blocked entrances to the city with burning vehicles.
Sinaloa is home to the cartel by the same name, which was led by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
Sinaloa’s soccer club Dorados announced that they had cancelled its game Thursday due to security concerns.
Representatives of Mexico’s security forces did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
LONDON (AP) — Organizers of a Dutch beach party to bid farewell to Britain as it leaves the European Union say the festivities will go ahead Oct. 31, the scheduled Brexit date.
The party started as a joke that went viral on Facebook about gathering on the beach to wave goodbye to the Brits. Now thousands of people are expected to attend what has morphed into a festival on the North Sea beach at the small town of Wijk aan Zee, near Amsterdam.
Spokeswoman Annemarie Smit said Friday organizers have gotten permission from the local municipality and “the party is going ahead whether Britain leaves or not.”
At 2 p.m. on Oct. 31, partygoers will all wave across the North Sea.
Tickets cost 19.73 euros — reflecting the year Britain joined the forerunner of the European Union.
(AP) After a police officer fatally shoots someone, it can take days or even weeks before the public or his supervisors hear the officer’s version of what happened.
Many states have this so-called cooling off period carved out in state law or in a police department’s contract. That opportunity to take some time before undergoing questioning by investigators angers community activists and others seeking reforms of police departments. They believe it gives officers time to reshape their story to justify a shooting and avoid getting fired or charged.
The latest example arose in Fort Worth, Texas, where a police officer fatally shot a woman inside her home. He resigned before he could be compelled to undergo questioning.
