Jamestown (CSi) Stutsman County conducted a simulated county-wide tornado exercise Wednesday morning, May 2 as part of Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week. The exercise began at 11:15 a.m. simulating what occurs locally when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service.
Stutsman County Emergency Manager, and 9-1-1 Coordinator, Jerry Bergquist says,the goal of the exercise was to test the Communications Center’s internal notification procedures county-wide including the testing of area community siren systems.
He says, the siren systems for Jamestown, Buchanan, Cleveland, Medina and Streeter were tested, all of which proved to be operational and ready for the summer weather season.
Because the National Weather Service did not participate in the exercise, the simulated warning was not broadcast through the National Weather Service all-hazards weather radio system. Also, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for local AM/FM radio stations and cable television providers was not activated. (The LEC in Jamestown did conduct the monthly first Wednesday of the month test of the CSi Cable interrupt system on Wednesday morning.) Stutsman County’s CodeRED notification system was also not activated for this test.
The CodeRED Weather Warning system allows individuals to sign up for immediate notification of tornado, thunderstorm, and/or flash flood warnings for a specific warned area. To sign up for CodeRED Weather Warning, go to the Stutsman County webpage at www.co.stutsman.nd.us and click on the CodeRED icon at the bottom of the page. Choose to receive weather warnings via land-line telephones, cell-phones (optional text messaging), VOIP phones and email. CodeRED Weather Warning is a no-cost way to receive immediate weather warnings, but registration is required to utilize the service. For those needing assistance to register, contact Stutsman County Emergency Management at 701-252-9093.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Carolina-based private security firm hired by Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners won’t be banned from North Dakota, though a judge is still weighing whether TigerSwan operated illegally in the state during protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline and might be subject to fines.
Judge John Grinsteiner rejected a request by North Dakota’s Private Investigative and Security Board to order that TigerSwan stay out of the state because it isn’t licensed.
The company had argued the issue was moot because its employees haven’t been in the state since late last June, and Grinsteiner said the licensing board hadn’t shown that they might return anytime soon.
“Furthermore, the board has failed to show that this conduct would produce injury to the board,” the judge said in a ruling dated Friday.
ETP hired TigerSwan to handle security as construction crews laid pipe in North Dakota in 2016 and 2017. The project drew large protests, with thousands of pipeline opponents who feared environmental damage gathering in the state for months, clashing with police and resulting in 761 arrests.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck stem cell clinic investigated by state officials has agreed to pay nearly $20,000 in consumer refunds and discontinue stem cell injections not approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The consumer protection division of the state attorney general’s office launched an investigation of West 2 Medical Solutions last November after receiving consumer complaints.
The state and company recently reached an agreement, The Bismarck Tribune reported . The clinic will refund patients and also pay $4,000 in penalties, fees and costs to the attorney general’s office. Clinic officials denied any wrongdoing.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A judge says a North Dakota man originally charged with attempted murder for an assault on a county deputy must serve more than six years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports that 33-year-old Michael Marion, of Dunseith, pleaded guilty Monday to numerous felony charges, including aggravated assault, attempting to disarm an officer, and possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.
Authorities say Marion resisted arrest after a vehicle pursuit in February 2017. They say Marion reached for Deputy Keith Benning’s gun and tried to point it toward the officer, saying “he could not go back to jail.” The gun allegedly discharged twice during the scuffle.
Benning wasn’t shot, but did suffer multiple injuries from the scuffle, including three broken ribs. He was also struck over his eye with brass knuckles.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Union employees at the Case-New Holland plant in Fargo have approved a new contract. The contract was ratified by members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace over the weekend. The union says the six-year contract includes pay raises and increased health insurance and retirement benefits. More than 400 workers at the plant are covered by the contract.
