Valley City (CSi) Barnes County Road 22 (Old Highway 10) is closed at Hobart Lake because of high water washing over the roadway.
Motorists should not remove or drive around the barricades.
Authorities have set up a barricade on both sides of the roadway near the entrances of the low grade area of the lake.
Motorists driving around the barricade will be cited, and fined $250.
Jamestown (CSi) The public got a close up look Tuesday evening at City Hall of the proposed Downtown Jamestown traffic flows under the Road Diet plan.
Interstate Engineering’s Ben Aaseth says the project’s design is geared to provide a better aesthetic appeal, be more pedestrian friendly, in the downtown area, while providing wider driving lanes and parking lanes. The plan is to reduce conflict points between pedestrians and motorists.
Aaseth pointed out that the project begins on 5th Street Northwest, and continues east to 1st Avenue then south on main street.
The outlined plan includes each traffic lane 12 feet wide, with a 12 foot space for parking on main street. He says this would make Jamestown compliant with the amount of traffic along main, with an estimated count of 12,000 vehicles daily.
The plan eliminates all but one traffic light on main street, and that one will remain at the intersection at the Posthouse, at 3rd Street Southwest.
The project is estimated to cost, $3.076 million, with the project paid for with a grant of a federal share of $2.4 million, the state share at $275,978 State, and $361,522.
Aaseth says when final project approval is given, preliminary work would start in July 2020 and finish that Fall .
Written comments are being accepted through November 20, 2019.

HERRIMAN, Utah (AP) — The three women who were gunned down with six of their children in northern Mexico by suspected drug cartel members are being remembered as good people who loved their families and enjoyed quiet lives centered around a successful pecan farming operation south of the U.S. border.
Austin Cloes, a Utah relative of the victims, said Tuesday during an interview at his home in a Salt Lake City suburb that he saw all the victims at a family reunion in Mexico last summer, where they played basketball and spent time together.
The nine were killed in the northern Mexican state of Sonora, where they lived as members of a community that broke away long ago from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A woman who died with four of her children in an attack in Mexico is being remembered in North Dakota for her kindness and faith.
Jordan Kannianen, a state senator from Stanley, said he and his wife, Elizabeth, knew Rhonita María Miller and her children.
Jordan Kannianen says she often attended the Mormon Sunday school class he taught in Stanley, in northwestern North Dakota.
Kannianen says she was kind and “very earnest about her faith.”
The Kannianens say the family left North Dakota several months ago and before their twins were born.
The Kannianens say Maria’s children attended Sunday school with their children.
Elizabeth Kannianen says she can’t tell her own children about the murders.
She says she fears “it’s too much.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has asked South Dakota authorities to help investigate an agency that allegedly violated state law on contract bidding.
Auditor Joshua Gallion released a report last month that said the Department of Commerce violated the law on bidding uncompetitive contracts totaling more than $87,000 for the state’s new “Be Legendary” logo.
The logo sparked criticism earlier this year when the contract for it was awarded to a Minnesota firm headed by a woman who once worked for Gov. Doug Burgum’s old Fargo software business.
Stenehjem says he wants an investigator who has no knowledge of the audit or the agency to conduct a probe.
The Commerce Department says it did nothing wrong but has identified where some improvements can be made.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court has heard the first of two legal challenges to an oil refinery planned near Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Tuesday’s arguments involve a lawsuit brought by the National Parks Conservation Association. It’s concerned about how the state will regulate emissions from the Davis Refinery under a permit issued last year by health officials. The association says the permit lacks safeguards that would protect the park and its visitors from air pollution.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the state maintains that the permit it issued does adequately control emissions, in part by requiring a leak detection system.
A second legal challenge to the refinery will be heard before the Supreme Court next week. A pair of environmental groups are suing over issues surrounding the site of the refinery.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Prosecutors won’t pursue criminal charges against North Dakota State College of Science officials accused by the state auditor of withholding records from investigators.
Cass County State’s Attorney Birch Burdick says in a letter that there was no proof college President John Richman or vice presidents Tony Gridberg and Dennis Gladen committed crimes of obstructing or misleading state auditors.
Auditor Josh Gallion issued the report earlier this year that focused on management of the school’s career workforce program. It alleged that Tony Grindberg, the school’s vice president of workforce affairs and a former state lawmaker, failed to disclose his wife’s company that was paid $39,500 to formulate a marketing plan for the program.
Burdick says the school administrators did not benefit “directly or indirectly” from the “marketing services.”

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department’s third-ranking official is expected to tell Congress that political considerations were behind the agency’s refusal to deliver a robust defense of the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
People familiar with the matter say the highest-ranking career diplomat in the foreign service, David Hale, plans to tell congressional impeachment investigators on Wednesday that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other senior officials determined that defending Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch would hurt the effort to free up U.S. military assistance to Ukraine.
Hale will also say that the State Department worried about the reaction from Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, also one of the strongest advocates for removing the ambassador.
The officials are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
GALEANA, Mexico (AP) — Criminal investigators in northern Mexico say a suspect has been arrested and is under investigation for possible connections with the deaths of nine U.S. citizens — three women and six children — slaughtered Monday when cartel gunmen ambushed their vehicles.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the Agency for Criminal Investigation for the state of Sonora said Tuesday that the suspect was found in the town of Agua Prieta, right at the border with the U.S. state of Arizona, holding two hostages who were gagged and tied inside a vehicle.
The suspect, whose gender was not specified in the release, was also found in the possession of four assault rifles and ammunition, as well as various large vehicles including a bullet-proofed SUV.
Officials have said that the gunmen may have mistaken the group’s large SUVs for those of a rival gang amid a vicious turf war. Eight children, some just infants, survived the ambush.

The government condemned the Wednesday morning attack against Junios Ho, a hate figure for protesters, and said police arrested the assailant. A police official, who requested anonymity as he isn’t authorized to make statements, says Ho, his assistant and the attacker have been hospitalized.
A video circulating on social media purportedly showed the man giving flowers to Ho before asking permission to snap a picture with him. Instead, he took out a knife from his bag and stabbed Ho’s chest but was quickly overpowered by Ho and several others.
The man kept hurling abuses at Ho, calling him “human scum.”
The 5-month-old protests demanding political freedom have increasingly become violent.
PARADISE, Calif. (AP) — The Northern California town of Paradise is rebuilding a year after a wind-driven wildfire killed 85 people and incinerated roughly 19,000 homes, businesses and other buildings.
But all the construction begs the question of whether the resurgent community will be any safer than it was before the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history.
Paradise leaders are trying to make the town more fire resistant. But some experts say rebuilding in such high-risk areas is a recipe for another disaster.
California’s growing homelessness crisis is one reason there is little talk of prohibiting construction in high-risk areas like Paradise.
They are generally much more affordable than cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, which face their own dangers from earthquakes, fires and rising oceans.
