Update… Jamestown (CSi-AP) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out at 2:51 p.m., Tuesday, to a report of a chemical spill of flammable Magnesium powder, at the high school science lab, in Gackle.
The Fargo HazMat team was also called to the scene.
Logan County Emergency Manager, Daniel Schwartz says the Gackle-Streeter Public School was evacuated, after the spill occurred in a closet in the science lab. The closet was closed after the spill, as the Fargo HazMat team arrived at the school shortly after 5-p.m.
A teacher and student reported hearing a “popping” sound in a storage cabinet.
Schwartz says the evacuation was necessary, as there was a risk of explosion if the powder would have come in contact with moisture or a heat source. School officials also shut down mechanical and electrical systems as a precaution.
Jamestown City Fire Chief, Jim Reuther says, Jamestown served as backup, as the Fargo team entered, retrieved, and sealed the originally glass bottled magnesium, in a can, and removed it from the school, finishing just after 5:30-p.m..
Reuther estimated the bottle, which was discovered, broken had under a half pint.
Logan County Sheriff Andrew Bartholomaus reports no injuries.
Classes at Gackle-Streeter will be on the regular schedule, Wednesday.

Police attempted to stop her car to question her concerning possible outstanding warrants and under suspicion that her driver’s license had been suspended.
The report says, she failed to stop and the pursuit began, during the time of rain and a thunderstorm in Jamestown .
The North Dakota Highway Patrol assisted Jamestown Police in a search of the area but were unable to find the car.
Anyone with information regarding Leavy is asked to contact the Jamestown Police Department at 252-1000.

Anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, either recently or in years past, is invited to come and share in this informal service honoring the memory of our loved ones in a supportive atmosphere.
On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Diane Witzig said, Dr. Alan Wolfelt, internationally know expert and author in the field of grief and loss writes: “In my experience, remembering the past makes hoping for the future possible. Your future will become open to new experiences only to the extent that you embrace the past.” Many people who are grieving the loss of a loved one often feel very alone in their grief.
Also on our show, Eileen Lisko added, the Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is committed to offering support and companioning to those who are grieving. Team members endeavor to provide a listening ear and a variety of ways for individuals to share their feelings about their loss.
The Service of Remembrance is free of charge and open to everyone. Those attending are asked to bring a picture of their loved one to the service. Please enter the main door at Ave Maria Village.

Jamestown (NDFU) – North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) is calling on North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring to request a temporary two- to three-week waiver of hours of service requirements for commercial drivers to get anhydrous ammonia and other inputs to farmers. Goehring must make the request to Governor Doug Burgum, who can issue the waiver.
NDFU President Mark Watne says, “Because of the restrictions in hours that drivers can log and the late spring, we’re running into problems with getting anhydrous ammonia and other inputs to the field in a timely manner. A short-term waiver of hours of service requirements will ensure farmers get the inputs they need to complete spring planting.”
MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — A judge says a Moorhead man must serve 10 years in prison for the shooting death of a man who was living in his garage.
KFGO radio reports that 26-year-old Neil Johnson killed Jacob Glover, of West Fargo, North Dakota, during an argument outside Johnson’s home last April. Prosecutors say Johnson and Glover were arguing over coins that Glover had tried to steal from the father of a man that both of them knew.
Johnson admitted that he had taken methamphetamine earlier in the day.
A phone number for Iszler could not be found. Grant County court documents do not list an attorney for him.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has agreed to enter settlement negotiations with a group of American Indians who sued the state over its expanded voter identification laws.
The settlement talks are scheduled for May 29 in Bismarck.
The agreement comes a week after U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland criticized the state for raising a “litany of embellished concerns” about people taking advantage of his ruling that expands the proof of identity Native Americans can use for North Dakota elections.
Hovland had suggested the parties negotiate a settlement.
Republican Gov. Doug Burgum last year signed legislation that reworked the ID laws after tribal members sued the state in 2016. Several members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota have continued to challenge the laws, saying they are a form of voter suppression.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Insurance Department is seeking a consultant to help find answers to reforming the state’s individual health care markets.
Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread says health care reform has stalled in Congress and consumers are facing increased costs and fewer options.
Godfread says the agency wants to study options to help bring the costs down. He says many farmers, ranchers and small business owners in North Dakota can’t afford health insurance at present.
The cost of the study is estimated at $200,000. Godfread says several consultants already have submitted proposals ahead of the May 31 deadline.
Godfread says Blue Cross Blue Shield is the only insurer offering statewide coverage on the federal Affordable Care Act exchange. Sanford Health Plan offers coverage only in the Fargo and Bismarck areas.
WORTHINGTON, Minn. (AP) — A clay pipe linked to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and considered sacred by Native Americans in Minnesota is being returned to the Sioux people after being sold at auction.
The Lower Sioux Indian Community unsuccessfully tried to stop the sale. Minnesota Public Radio reports the pipe was auctioned in Boston on Saturday for $40,000, nearly twice its estimated value.
Prairie Island Tribal Council President Shelley Buck says the buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, wanted to return the relic, and that’s being arranged.
The U.S.-Dakota War lasted six weeks and left hundreds of Sioux, settlers and soldiers dead. The pipe was a peace offering for a soldier from Sioux Chief White Dog, one of 38 Sioux hanged in Mankato on Dec. 26, 1862, for alleged war crimes.
AGENCY VILLAGE, S.D. (AP) — A school on the Lake Traverse Reservation has called off classes due to an unspecified threat against the school.
The American News reports that officials with Tiospa Zina Tribal School in Agency Village notified Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate police about the threat Monday and canceled Tuesday classes.
The nature of the threat wasn’t detailed.
