Jamestown\u00a0 (JPD)\u00a0 Jamestown Police Tuesday morning took into \u00a0custody a man who is facing terrorizing charges in connection with an incident Monday afternoon in Northeast Jamestown.<\/p>\n
30 year old Kyle Wegleitner, was taken into custody around 2:56-a.m, Tuesday, following the Monday incident, between 3-p.m., and 4-p.m. involving an altercation in the 800 block of 7th<\/sup> Street Northeast, in Jamestown Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n The report says Wegleitner was speaking to an acquaintance when another male pushing a bicycle approached, that led to an altercation where a weapon was displayed.<\/p>\n Wegleitner is accused as well of displaying a weapon and purportedly making threats to the same individual later in the day.<\/p>\n Wegleitner is being held pending an initial appearance in Southeast District Court, following the lodging of formal charges, as the police investigation continues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NDDoH<\/p>\n COVID-19 Stats<\/p>\n Tues.

With support from the federal U.S. Department of Agriculture \u2013 Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), the North Dakota Department of Human Services is increasing SNAP benefits from January through June 2021 for all eligible households in the state.<\/p>\n The department estimates that the temporary increase in SNAP benefits will provide an extra $1.2 million in grocery buying power each month to over 24,000 North Dakota households. The SNAP program serves children, older adults, individuals with disabilities and low-income workers in North Dakota.<\/p>\n SNAP households already received the additional increase for January on their SNAP EBT cards on Jan. 12, 2021. Beginning in February and through June 2021, increased benefits will be available on SNAP EBT cards on the first day of every month.<\/p>\n The average monthly SNAP benefit in North Dakota is about $388. Benefit amounts vary and are based on family size and family members\u2019 combined incomes. The extra benefit amounts will vary by household size.<\/p>\n The minimum benefit for a one or a two-person household is increasing from $16 to $19 a month. The maximum benefit is increasing from $374 to $430 for a two-person household and from $535 to $616 for a three-person household. A table showing the maximum SNAP benefit amounts with this temporary increase is online at www.nd.gov\/dhs\/services\/financialhelp\/foodstamps.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n North Dakotans who are having problems affording food are encouraged to apply for SNAP online at www.nd.gov\/dhs\/info\/pubs\/application.html<\/a> or by contacting their local human service zone office, formerly called county social service offices. Zone offices may be restricting public access due to COVID-19 but are still providing services by phone, email and fax.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Legislature has signaled its reluctance to back a bill that would extend the period of property tax delinquency from two years to five for homeowners before foreclosure. The House Finance and Taxation committee on Monday gave the bill a \u201cdo not pass\u201d recommendation, despite an appeal by the bill\u2019s sponsor that many could lose their homes due to a shaky state economy. Rep. Bernie Satrom said extending the period to pay off a tax delinquency could help people stay in their homes. The bill would only apply to owners who use the property as a primary residence.<\/p>\n In sports…<\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Critics of legislation that addresses gender in school sports say the proposal discriminates against transgender students in North Dakota. The bill would prohibit public schools from allowing a person to participate on a girls or boys team if the person \u201cwas assigned the opposite sex at birth.\u201d Its sponsor, Republican Rep. Ben Koppelman, says the bill would ensure fair competition for girls in middle and high school sports. But, opponents say it excludes transgender students from athletics. The House Human Services Committee took no action on the bill Monday.<\/p>\n In world and national news…<\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 The Biden administration is boosting purchases of coronavirus vaccines to deliver enough to protect 300 million Americans by the end of the summer, as it surges deliveries to states for the next three weeks following complaints of shortages and inconsistent supplies. President Joe Biden announced the surge in deliveries to states Tuesday, along with the news that the federal government is purchasing an additional 100 million doses each of the two approved coronavirus vaccines. With existing purchases, the White House expects to be able to deliver enough of the two-dose regimens to states to vaccinate 300 million people.<\/p>\n HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 A federal judge has barred the U.S. government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium that is a key immigration priority of President Joe Biden. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order sought by Texas, which sued on Friday against a Department of Homeland Security memo that instructed immigration agencies to pause most deportations. Tipton\u2019s order is an early blow to the Biden administration, which has proposed far-reaching changes sought by immigration advocates, including a plan to legalize an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. The 100-day pause in deportations was a key Biden campaign promise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The interim chief of the Capitol Police has apologized for failing to prepare for what became a violent insurrection despite having warnings that white supremacists and far-right groups would target Congress. Yogananda Pittman, in prepared testimony before Congress on Tuesday, said that the Capitol Police \u201cfailed to meet its own high standards as well as yours.\u201d She listed several missteps: not having enough manpower or supplies on hand, not following through with a lockdown order she issued during the siege and not having a sufficient communications plan for a crisis. Five people died in the Jan. 6 riot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden has had his first phone call with Vladimir Putin, raising his concerns about the arrest of opposition figure Alexei Navalny. In the call on Tuesday, he also pressed the Russian leader on his nation\u2019s involvement in a massive cyber espionage campaign and reports of bounties on American troops in Afghanistan. Biden has looked to establish a sharp break from the warm rhetoric often displayed toward Putin by his predecessor, Donald Trump. But the new president also is looking to preserve room for diplomacy, telling the Russian leader that the two nations should finalize a five-year extension of an arms control treaty before it expires early next month<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Senate has confirmed President Joe Biden\u2019s nominee to serve as secretary of state. Antony Blinken becomes the third Cabinet member to win approval as the Biden administration forges ahead with a foreign policy intended to reverse former President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d doctrine and restore U.S. global standing. The 58-year-old Blinken has pledged to be a leading force in the administration\u2019s bid to reframe the U.S. relationship with the rest of the world after four years in which Trump questioned longtime alliances. He is expected to start work on Wednesday after being sworn in, according to State Department officials.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 The city of Detroit will dismiss most misdemeanor citations issued last spring during several days of protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Most of the tickets written May 31 and June 2 were for curfew violations as hundreds of people demonstrated in downtown Detroit. Detroit Corporation Counsel Lawrence Garcia says Tuesday that the city expects to dismiss 238 of the 245 tickets issued on those three days. Dozens of demonstrators violated Detroit\u2019s curfew requiring people to be off city streets after 8 p.m. and received appearance citations. Others were ticketed for disruptive or violent behavior. In addition to those in Detroit, charges that stemmed from demonstrations in some other U.S. cities also have been dismissed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Senators have taken an oath to ensure \u201cimpartial justice\u201d as jurors in Donald Trump\u2019s historic impeachment trial, but some Republican senators want to stop the proceedings. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. said he will force a vote on whether the impeachment trial of a former president is allowed under the Constitution. House Democratic prosecutors made the ceremonial walk across the Capitol late Monday to deliver the impeachment charge that Trump incited the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Republicans are also questioning whether Trump\u2019s repeated demands to overturn Joe Biden\u2019s election really amounted to incitement. The trial is to begin in two weeks.<\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 \u201cSeveral hundred\u201d White House staffers have been vaccinated for COVID-19 as the Biden administration looks to create a safe workspace for the new president. Spokesman Kevin Munoz said the White House has provided the first of the two-shot vaccination to those who work on-site and is working toward vaccinating all staffers in the coming weeks. President Joe Biden\u2019s White House has operated with sparse staffing to prevent the spread of the virus, mandating social distancing and the wearing of N95 masks. Biden completed the two-dose regimen a week before his swearing-in, and Vice President Kamala Harris was set to receive her second dose Tuesday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 California is revamping its delivery system mid-stride, centralizing what has been a hodgepodge of county systems and streamlining appointment sign-up, notification, and eligibility for its 40 million residents. The state\u2019s health agency on Tuesday said third-party administrators would take over ordering and distributing vaccine doses with a new state secretary in charge of logistics. The move comes after California faced criticism for a slow rollout as coronavirus cases soared and hospital beds filled up with patients in much of the state. Residents have been baffled by the varying systems as some counties will vaccinate people 65 and older while others are limited to the more restrictive 75 and up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HOOD RIVER, Ore. (AP) \u2014 Oregon teachers are eligible for COVID-19 shots before senior citizens after Democratic Gov. Kate Brown decided to prioritize reopening schools. The decision has outraged older people and underscores the moral dilemma state and local officials across the U.S. are facing as they decide who’s first in line for the vaccine. Ethicists say America hasn’t faced such a stark moral calculus in generations. Everyone from the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions to communities of color and front-line workers are clamoring for the scarce vaccine. And each group has a compelling argument for why they should get priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… …WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT\u00a0 TO NOON CST WEDNESDAY…INCLUDES BARNES COUNTY * WHAT…Very cold wind chills expected.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota continues to have one of the highest rates in the country for administering doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which one medical officer says is due in part to the willingness of residents to get the shots. Statistics compiled Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that North Dakota has delivered 9,873 shots per 100,000 people, which ranks only behind Alaska and West Virginia in per capita doses. Dr. Doug Griffin, vice president and chief medical officer at Sanford Health in Fargo, says the state\u2019s preparation efforts, its small size and eager volunteers have helped the pace of immunizations. North Dakota is currently receiving fewer than 10,000 doses of vaccine a week, about half of what Griffin had expected.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/centralvalleyJan25-300x202.png\")

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal appeals court has upheld a district judge’s decision to order a full environmental impact review of the Dakota Access pipeline, but has declined to shut the line down while the review is completed. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled last year that a more extensive review was necessary than the assessment conducted earlier by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The pipeline crosses beneath the Missouri River, just north of the the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border. The tribe draws its water from the river and fears pollution.<\/p>\n
