Daniel Wilhelm

Jamestown (CSi) To commemorate the late Dan Wilhelm, the 4th Annual car show at Don Wilhelm, Inc., on Saturday September 20, 2014 will be named the “Dan Wilhelm Memorial Car and Bike Show.”

Dan Wilhelm was a co-owner of Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC and lost his life to Huntington’s Disease at the age of 55, on November 11, 2012.

All proceeds from the event will go to Huntington’s Disease Society of America.

Several local businesses have donated money toward Huntington’s Disease Society of America.

The event organizer, and Wilhelm’s dealership, Business Manger, Steve “Skovy” Jaskoviak, adds, the James Valley Street Machines started the car and bike show, three years ago, and in the past the car club and Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC divided the cost of the event.

This year, however, Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC is paying a majority of the car and bike show’s costs.

Forty percent of the $10,000 fund raising goal was met earlier this week.

A cure is yet to be found, as Huntington’s disease is an inherited brain disorder that results in the progressive loss of mental faculties and physical control.

An individual who has been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease will eventually die from pneumonia, heart failure or other complications.

The Dan Wilhelm Memorial Car and Bike Show is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC, on Business Loop West in Jamestown.

Car and motorcycle enthusiasts can attend the event free with participants, entering their vehicles at no charge, Saturday morning, with set up from 8-a.m., to 10-a.m.

During the show children can play on inflatables, burgers and bratwursts will be available for a freewill donation that goes toward the Huntington’s Disease Society of America.

Members of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America Grand Forks chapter will attend the event and give a short seminar on Huntington’s disease.

Also seminars will be held on the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of hiring a hit man to kill two people he worked with in North Dakota’s oil patch has been ordered to appear in Washington state on federal charges.
 
     An indictment unsealed Wednesday charges James Henrikson with 11 counts, including two counts of murder for hire in the deaths of Doug Carlile, of Spokane, Washington, and Kristopher “K.C.” Clarke.
 
     Henrikson and Clarke were living in Watford City. Clarke has been missing since February 2012.
 
     Henrikson showed no emotion in court Wednesday in Bismarck. His lawyer had no comment.
 
     A U.S. magistrate approved a request by the prosecutor that Henrikson be transported by both the U.S. Marshals Service and Homeland Security.
 
     If convicted, Henrikson could face the death penalty. He’s been jailed in North Dakota on illegal weapons charges.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – A Devils Lake woman convicted in the drug overdose deaths of two other women two years ago is headed back to prison.
 
     Fifty-one-year-old Patsy Owlboy was sentenced Monday on a felony drug delivery charge.
 
   She  was sentenced to 3  1/2 years in prison in the latest case, which Ramsey County State’s Attorney Lonnie Olson said involved Owlboy selling prescription pills to an undercover agent.
 
     In the earlier case, Owlboy was convicted of supplying drugs to two women who died in April 2012, and sentenced to 1  1/2 years in prison.

　 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Republicans have unveiled an $800 million one-time spending plan to address immediate problems tied to the oil boom in the western part of the state.
 
     GOP leaders from the state’s oil-producing region say the plan released Wednesday is the result of meetings between lawmakers and local officials.
 
     North Dakota’s newfound oil riches have resulted in unprecedented demands for spending on roads, schools, public works, law enforcement and emergency medical services.
 
     Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner says the spending plan will be a priority when the Legislature meets in January.
 
     Democratic Sen. Connie Triplett, of Grand Forks, says she believes most lawmakers in her party will back the plan because of the big needs in the oil patch.
 
     North Dakota Republicans wield supermajority control in the Legislature.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A state commission has approved Secretary of State Al Jaeger’s emergency funding request to help his agency cover overtime, temporary help and other costs associated with a spate of measures on the November ballot.
 
     North Dakota voters will decide eight measures this fall. That’s the most on a ballot since there were nine in the 1996 primary election.
 
     Four of the measures on the November ballot were placed by the Legislature. Four others are initiated measures.
 
     Jaeger says $8,000 was appropriated to review the measures. But he says the cost likely will be about $15,000.
 
     The six-member Emergency Commission, which includes Jaeger, approved $7,000 in additional funding on Wednesday.
 
     Jaeger says the bulk of the money allocated to review measures is not used in most years.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University has received a $1 million endowment to support scholarships for adult learners who are starting or returning to college.
 
     The Bernard Osher Foundation awarded the money to the university. The funds are meant to be spent on undergraduate students.
 
     The university says the foundation has donated $50,000 each year since 2012 to assist adult learners.
 
     Scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 have been given to students in several disciplines. NDSU awarded 15 Osher scholarships this academic year. 
 
     The school says the average age of a recipient of an Osher scholarship at NDSU is 34.

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Highway Patrol troopers this week are cracking down on traffic violations around school buses in northwestern North Dakota.
 
     The patrol is bringing its “Trooper on a Bus” program to Grenora on Wednesday and New Town on Thursday.
 
     The program has been used throughout the state in recent years. The goal is not only to catch violators but also to raise awareness about safety.
 
     Troopers ride on buses, and if they observe motorists violating traffic laws such as failing to stop for a school bus they radio the information to other troopers in squad cars.
 
     Failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $100 fine for both the driver and the registered owner of the vehicle.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A summer survey indicates the number of pheasants in North Dakota has risen 30 percent from last year.
 
     The state Game and Fish Department says pheasant brood observations were up 37 percent, while the average brood size was down only 4 percent.
 
     The roadside survey conducted in late July and August included 253 runs along 106 brood routes across the state.
 
     Upland Game Management Supervisor Stan Kohn attributes the higher pheasant population to good spring weather for most of the nesting and early brooding period. He says pheasant hunters are going to find more birds in most parts of the state.
 
     The 2014 regular pheasant season opens Oct. 11 and continues through next Jan. 4.

In world and national news…

 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The leaders of the United States and Iraq are in agreement — U.S. forces won’t have a combat mission in Iraq. In an interview Wednesday, the new Iraqi prime minister said it isn’t necessary for other countries to send troops into Iraq to help fight the Islamic State group. He said, “We don’t want them. We won’t allow them.” And this afternoon, speaking at the headquarters of U.S. Central command in Florida, President Barack Obama said he won’t commit U.S. troops to “another ground war in Iraq.”
 
     NEW YORK (AP) – Police have stepped up security in New York’s Times Square, but insist that there’s no information pointing to any terror plot against New York City. NYPD officials told reporters Wednesday that New Yorkers would see more patrols and other signs of heightened security in Times Square, the subways and other spots during the upcoming Jewish holidays and United Nations General Assembly.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve is signaling that it plans to keep a key interest rate at a record low for a considerable period because a broad range of U.S. economic measures remain subpar. The Fed says it plans to keep its benchmark rate near zero as long as inflation remains under control, until it sees consistent gains in wage growth, long-term unemployment and other gauges of the job market.
 
     MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) – Doctors Without Borders says one of its staff members has contracted Ebola while working in Liberia and will be evacuated to France. The disease is spread by direct contact with the bodily fluids of the sick, leaving health care workers especially vulnerable to infection. The organization has more than 2,000 people working in the region, including 200 international workers.
 
     DETROIT (AP) – A jury has been seated in the trial of a Detroit police officer who unintentionally killed a 7-year-old girl during a hunt for a murder suspect in 2010. Opening statements are set for Thursday. Joseph Weekley is charged with involuntary manslaughter. He’s accused of handling his gun recklessly during a raid at a Detroit home. The victim was fatally shot while she slept on a couch. It’s the second trial for Weekley, a member of an elite police unit. A jury last year couldn’t reach a verdict.
