Jamestown (CSi) A couple of changes this year when the Shrine Circus comes to Jamestown today.
El Zagel Mystics member Craig Mehlhaff says, in addition to the circus being on a Monday, there will be only ONE PERFORMANCE, that will be at 5:30p.m., today, at the Jamestown Civic Center.
The circus is performed for the Jamestown and Valley City communities.
With tigers, dogs and death-defying high-wire and acrobatic acts, the El Zagal Shrine Circus will have one performance at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Jamestown Civic Center.
Richard Klose, circus co-chairman, said the circus is coordinated by El Zagal Shrine units the Jamestown Clowns, the Flag Corp., Valley City and the Mystics, also based out of Jamestown. Klose said Brent Chris of Flag Corp is the other co-chair.
Klose said there will only be one performance of the circus this year in response to requests from parents.
Klose said parents found it hard to go to either the late afternoon performance, which started at 4 p.m., or the 7:45 p.m. performance in recent years.
The parents said they had to get out of work early to make the 4 p.m. show,” he said. “And the 7:45 (p.m.) show started too late for children who had to go to school the next day.”
He adds that having one show, more people will attend the circus.
The circus that will perform in Jamestown is Circus Spectacular, with Cindy Migley as the producer. Circus Spectacular is based out of Sarasota, Fla., and includes animal acts, acrobatic teams, a high-wire act and the Globe of death, a motorcycle stunt act.
Klose says at the show’s intermission, two boys’ bicycles and two girls’ bicycles will be given away. The show will run a little over two hours.
Gates open one hour before the show starts. Tickets are available at Hugo’s Family Marketplace, Cash Wise, M&H and the Jamestown Civic Center. Tickets are $5.50 for children 12 and younger, $9.50 for adults if purchased before the show, and tickets are 50 cents more if bought at the door. Klose said the circus is sponsored by the El Zagal Shrine of Fargo. Proceeds from the circus will benefit Shrine Temple operations.
Jamestown (CSi) A new scene called “The Tomb” has been added to the script for this year’s performance of Temple Baptist Church’s “Passion Play.”
The “Passion Play” portrays the last week of Jesus’ life on Earth
The play,has four performances open to everyone in the community, and runs from April 2-5 at Temple Baptist Churc in Jamestown.
Peformances begin at 7 p.m.
The Tomb scene is where the stone is rolled away from Jesus’ tomb,and his spirit leaves the tomb.
Parents of young children should be aware that the play’s crucifixion scene is fairly realistic, and little children might have a hard time with it.
This year marks the eighth performance and includes 84 cast members, mostly from Temple Baptist Church, plus a support crew for makeup, costume and set.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s biggest farm group says it will campaign to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn the Legislature’s decision to loosen the state’s Depression-era ban against corporate farming.
North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne made the announcement on Friday during a rally at the state Capitol in Bismarck.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed the legislation last week that exempts ailing pork and dairy operations from the state’s anti-corporate farming law.
Supporters must gather 13,452 valid signatures by June 18 to get the measure on the June 2016 ballot.
Former North Dakota Agriculture commissioner Roger Johnson, who now serves as president of the National Farmers Union, told supporters in Bismarck that obtaining the required signatures should not be a “heavy lift.”
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A likely rare case of botulism has been diagnosed in an infant patient at Trinity Hospital in Minot.
Hospital officials say they quickly contacted a California company that makes an antitoxin, and the infant is recovering.
State Health Department Epidemiologist Michelle Feist says final testing is still being done but officials are treating it as a likely case of botulism.
It’s not yet known how the infant became ill but state officials believe it to be an isolated case.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says infant botulism is caused by babies consuming bacteria spores that grow and release toxins.
The CDC says there are an average of only 145 cases of botulism in the U.S. each year. There hasn’t been a case in North Dakota since 1999.
GLEN ULLIN, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified a 34-year-old Belfield man who was killed after his vehicle rear-ended a semitrailer in southwestern North Dakota.
The North Dakota State Highway Patrol says Brian Kull was traveling eastbound on the highway when his vehicle veered onto the shoulder and struck a parked semitrailer. The accident happened late Thursday afternoon on Interstate 94 near Glen Ullin.
The vehicle came to rest halfway underneath the semitrailer. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
The Highway Patrol says Kull was wearing his seatbelt, and road and weather conditions were good at the time of the crash.
PETERSBURG, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified a 28-year-old woman who died in a single-vehicle crash in Nelson County in which her vehicle ended up in a slough.
The Highway Patrol says Michigan, North Dakota-resident Casey Schultz was trying to pass another vehicle on U.S. Highway 2 near Petersburg Thursday afternoon when she lost control of her car.
The car went into the median, hit a sign, struck the median crossover and became airborne, eventually coasting across the far lanes of the highway and into a slough.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The former chancellor of the North Dakota University System has withdrawn his candidacy to again lead the state’s public university system.
The North Dakota Board of Higher Education announced Friday that Robert Potts is withdrawing from the chancellor search. His departure means there are seven candidates still seeking the position.
Potts ran the system for two years, but he departed in 2006 after a dispute that started when one college president raised questions about the scope of his authority. Potts went on to become chancellor of Arkansas State University and president of that state’s university system.
The remaining candidates will conduct video interviews April 14 with the board and their Search Advisory Team.
Search consultant James McCormick told the university system that Potts was withdrawing on Friday but didn’t elaborate.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Board of Animal Health has rejected a request to end the branding of imported registered dairy cattle from Canada.
Those cattle are required to be branded with the letters “CAN” so they can be traced in the event of a disease outbreak.
The North Dakota Holstein Association had hoped to end that practice in favor of other forms of identification because members say the CAN brand lowers the value of animals.
Cows also have radio-frequency identification tags, ear tattoos and registration papers indicating their country of origin. The Bismarck Tribune reports the board denied the Holstein Association’s request by a 4-3 vote because it felt the brand is unalterable and more easily visible.
CAN brands are required in many northern states, but others exempt registered animals.
In world and national news…
MONTABAUR, Germany (AP) – Among the items found in the home of Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz is a note from a doctor — saying he should be excused from work on Tuesday. But Lubitz went to work — and prosecutors say he deliberately flew a passenger plane into a mountain, killing 150 people, after locking the pilot out of the cockpit. Prosecutors aren’t saying what kind of illness he had — but they say he clearly hid it from his employers.
STOCKHOLM (AP) – Experts say Lufthansa could be looking at “unlimited” compensation claims for the crash that killed 150 people in the French Alps. And they say it would be difficult — and even counter-productive — for the German airline to try to avoid liability. To do so, an airline would have to prove that the crash wasn’t due to “negligence or other wrongful act” by its employees. Under an international treaty, airlines have to compensate relative of victims, up to a limit currently set at $157,000. But higher compensation is possible if the airline is held liable.
BAGHDAD (AP) – The most respected Shiite cleric in Iraq is calling for unity among the forces battling the Islamic State group. This, after most of the Shiite militias backed by Iran pulled out of the offensive to retake the city of Tikrit (tih-KREET’). They did so in protest over U.S. airstrikes there. The airstrikes in support of the mission came at the request of Iraq’s government.
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) – The fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez has testified in his murder trial that he was intoxicated in the hours before the killing of her sister’s boyfriend. Shayanna Jenkins also told jurors that she found a handgun in a kitchen junk drawer before the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd. Jenkins was granted immunity to testify, which meant she could face jail time if she did not take the stand.
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities say a Pennsylvania woman used forged documents to pretend to be a lawyer for a decade. In fact, they say she was in line to be named partner when her fraud was discovered. Kimberly Kitchen is charged with forgery and unauthorized practice of law. She allegedly fooled her law firm by forging a law license, bar exam results, and an email showing she attended law school. The attorney general says she handled estate planning for more than 30 clients.
