Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — A Great Lakes Airline’s representative, in Jamestown Wednesday (Jan 30, 2013) said, her visit is informational, while taking back suggestions and concerns of the Jamestown area flying public.
Monica Taylor-Lee said, her visit in Jamestown was two-fold, to visit with Jamestown residents, and to gather input, and to honor the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce, “Outstanding Citizen of the Year,” Fran Romsdahl, at the annual banquet, Thursday evening (Jan 31, 2013.)
Great Lakes management from Cheyenne, Wyoming will also attend the banquet, and offer ticket giveaways.
She added that Great Lakes Airlines wants the public to know that they are part of the Jamestown community, as shown with the Food Drive in September of 2012, in conjunction with Jamestown Regional Airport.
Ms Taylor-Lee pointed out that booking flights departing Jamestown has become more convenient through travel agents, in addition to Great Lakes having ticket agreements with other airlines, where a single ticket will allow the passenger to reach their final destination along with their luggage, without the need for additional ticketing.
She added that Great Lakes Airlines continues to work out arrangements with Delta to re-implement the Sky Miles program, which she hopes will happen soon.
She added that the airline’s web site
www.flygreatlakes.com is also available to book flights, along with on line booking engines.
Jamestown Regional Airport Manager, Matthew Leitner said, the local airport web site www.flyjamestown.net is also handy to obtain more information and to aid in booking flights, and has the present Jamestown schedule posted.
Leitner pointed out that Jamestown boardings are again going up, as he expects the January final numbers to be over 200.
He added that weather concerns not withstanding, Great Lakes on-time performance is 85% within 5-10 minutes of departure.
Ms Taylor-Lee added that when Jamestown boardings show a continued significant increase, Great Lakes will likely look at servicing Jamestown with the larger 30-seat aircraft.
Leitner said the present aircraft the 19 seat Beachcraft has the latest state of the art equipment and the planes are relatively new.
The full interview with Ms. Taylor-Lee and Leitner can be heard on the Thursday (Jan 31, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 at 8:25 a.m., with replays at noon, 5-p.m., 6:25-p.m., and 10-p.m.
Bismarck, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The North Dakota House of Representatives Appropriation Committee on an 18-2 vote, has passed House Bill 1269, that would allow funding for Stutsman Rural Water District’s planned expansion, between Woodworth and Streeter..
Representatives from Grand Forks, and Bismarck voted against the measure, which contains $9.97 million in grants for SRWD.
Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen has testified that she could not support the bill, without language to facilitate territory transfers from rural water groups to cities.
LINCOLN, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating a crash involving a police car in the south central town of Lincoln.
The patrol says Lincoln Police Office Bradley Heger drove through a stop sign at an intersection with his lights flashing as he pursued another vehicle Wednesday afternoon. Heger’s squad car collided with a car driven by 21-year-old Brittany Entzi, of Lincoln.
She was taken to a hospital with injuries the patrol says are not life-threatening. Heger was not hurt.
GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) – A former stockbroker in Grafton and Grand Forks is likely to be sentenced to prison in March after failing to come up with $2.1 million in restitution by the court-ordered deadline of Tuesday.
Fifty-nine-year-old Ross Haugen pleaded guilty earlier this month to felony charges for scamming six clients. He was given the chance to avoid prison time by repaying those he swindled but the Grand Forks Herald reports that he failed to do so. He now faces up to 70 years in prison when he is sentenced March 13.
Haugen faced similar charges in November 2011, pleaded guilty and avoided prison time by paying about $185,000 in restitution.
Haugen lost both his federal and state securities licenses nearly a decade ago.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities in Burleigh County seized 38 horses from a man on the same day officials in neighboring Morton County took 119 horses away from him.
Ninety-six dead horses were discovered on the Morton County property and three dead horses were found on the Burleigh County land. The horses that survived the alleged neglect are being fed and cared for onsite, except for 25 that are in bad shape and being cared for by a horse rescue organization.
The owner of the horses has not been identified because he has not been arrested. Prosecutors are considering charges.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Tuberculosis tests administered to students and staff at a Grand Forks school show that one person was exposed to the disease, but it doesn’t mean the individual is infectious with TB.
One student at Winship Elementary School was diagnosed last week with the illness, following a recent outbreak in the city. Results released Wednesday showed that 22 of 23 tests conducted Monday at the school were normal.
Officials say one person had an abnormal result, but does not exhibit symptoms of active tuberculosis and has been referred to a doctor for further testing.
Health officials have linked the outbreak to homeless visitors who exposed a family who gave them shelter.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota house panel is considering a bill that would ban abortions if a fetal heartbeat is detected. Abortion rights advocates say the measure would ban abortion before some women know they are pregnant. Several Republican lawmakers from the House and Senate have introduced bills this session that would impose more stringent restrictions on abortions in the state.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s e-file system for taxes is up and running.
Tax Commissioner Corey Fong says the online services can be found on the tax department’s website at www.nd.gov/tax . The service is free.
Taxpayers can file their federal and state returns either electronically or on paper, but Fong says the e-file system is much easier and usually results in faster refunds.
About 75 percent of North Dakota taxpayers e-filed returns for 2010.
BUCYRUS, N.D. (AP) – A benefit fund that raised $180,000 has been awarded to residents of a North Dakota town that was devastated by wildfire.
Dakota Plains Federal Credit Union set up the fund for victims of the October blaze that swept through Bucyrus (boo-CY’-ruhs), located near the North and South Dakota border. The fire destroyed four homes in the town of 27 people.
The fund included a grant of $40,000 from Lutheran Social Services disaster relief.
Bonnie Lueck, manager of the credit union,says the money can’t replace everything, but it will residents “get back on their feet.”
The fire covered more than 9 square miles and destroyed 24 structures.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota winter wheat farmers are enjoying better snow cover protection for their crops than their counterparts in South Dakota.
The Agriculture Department says protection for winter wheat in North Dakota is rated 28 percent poor, 44 percent adequate and 28 percent excellent. That compares with 84 percent poor in South Dakota and only 16 percent adequate.
The average snow depth in North Dakota at the start of the week was 4.1 inches, compared with 2 inches in South Dakota, which has been harder-hit by drought.
Winter wheat is planted in the fall and begins to grow before turning dormant when winter cold arrives. Snow covering the ground helps insulate the young plants that reawaken with warmer weather in the spring and grow to maturity.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota University System officials say they have asked Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to look into a state law that led North Dakota State University to freeze a federal grant for a sexual education program.
Chancellor Hamid Shirvani says a request was filed to the attorney general’s office Wednesday for an opinion on a 1979 statute that NDSU officials cited in halting the $1.2 million federal grant.
The law in question forbids using government funding “as family planning funds by any person, public or private agency which performs, refers or encourages abortion.”
NDSU administrators have been criticized for the decision to put the program on hold, but school officials say they didn’t have a choice.

PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw says the tour is “looking into the matter.”
The magazine also reported Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis sought help from SWATS in his recovery from a torn right triceps.

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) – Neighbors of an Alabama man accused of holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in a bunker say the man, 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, is volatile, has anti-government views and has threatened his neighbors at gunpoint. But a state lawmaker who met with authorities say Dykes has allowed authorities to lower the boy’s medicine into the bunker. The standoff began Tuesday after police say Dykes shot and killed a school bus driver in Midland City and took the boy off the bus.
