Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Sept 3, 2013) — The Jamestown City Council’s Public Works Committee this month will further talk about the possible elimination of four traffic stop lights in downtown Jamestown.
The traffic lights under consideration of removal are on First Avenue, at the intersections of 3rd Street North, 1st Street, 2nd Street south, and 5th Street North.
On Tuesday’s (Sept 3, 2013) City Matters program on CSi 10 THE REPLAY CHANNEL, Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen said if those traffic lights are eliminated the parts would be used to repair and service other traffic lights in town.
She added that the plan would call for the elimination of the traffic lights in phases.
She said the city would look at concerns of pedestrian traffic safety, any excessive speed on First Avenue the elimination of the traffic lights would cause, and if the action would cause traffic accidents.
She pointed out that if the traffic lights were taken out, the intersections would be two-way stops with the side street traffic being stopped.
She noted that the plan will undergo a lengthy study, and public notices would be given before any traffic lights are taken out.
More decisions could be based on the Land Use and Transportation Plan results.

LANKIN, N.D. (AP) – Agents with North Dakota’s state crime bureau are on the scene of a shooting in Walsh County involving a law officer.
The shooting happened Tuesday night near Lankin, southwest of Grafton. Sheriff Lauren Wild says a deputy responding to a disturbance call shot and wounded a man.
The man is hospitalized but is expected to survive.
Wild says the deputy has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation. The sheriff says that’s standard procedure.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Attorneys in the case of a North Dakota man accused of killing two children on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation are arguing over a pair of alleged confessions obtained during the investigation.
Twenty-year-old Valentino “Tino” Bagola is on trial on murder charges for the May 2011 slayings of 9-year-old Destiny Shaw-Dubois (DOO’-boyz) and her 6-year-old brother, Travis DuBois Jr., in St. Michael.
Federal prosecutor Chris Myers said during Wednesday’s opening statements that Bagola killed the children after sexually assaulting the girl. Myers says Bagola confessed to the crimes and there’s also scientific and medical evidence.
Defense attorney Christopher Lancaster told jurors that the father of the children, Travis DuBois Sr., admitted to the crimes and that Bagola’s confession was coerced by the FBI.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Potential presidential candidate Jeb Bush is coming to Fargo next month as The Chamber’s Voices of Vision speaker.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Ground could be broken later this month for a new airport terminal in Minot.
Airport Director Andrew Solsvig says the project received a $6.6 million federal grant at the end of August. That enabled the City Council on Tuesday to accept the $40.7 million bid of Graham Construction Services of Eagan, Minn. The city is allowing the contractor to break ground, mobilize equipment and put in underground utilities and foundations.
The city is funding about one-fourth of the project, and the airport also has been awarded $18.5 million from the state in oil impact dollars for airports.
Solsvig says the city is awaiting word on an additional $3 million in federal funds before issuing a full order to proceed with construction.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Haitian leaders with the Haiti Solar Oven Partners project plan to visit 29 United Methodist churches in the Dakotas this month to thank the congregations and build support for the effort.
Haiti Solar Oven Partners is a mission of the Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church. It’s been producing parts for solar-powered ovens for poverty-stricken Haiti since 1999. Hundreds of volunteers craft and package the parts in workshops in Moffit, N.D., and Volga, S.D.
Teams of volunteers also travel to Haiti each year to help build the ovens and educate people about using them. The ovens can be used for cooking, baking, purifying water and pasteurizing milk.
Each solar oven costs $125. Donations from people and churches cover most of the cost.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Publicly and privately, President Barack Obama’s top national security aides have been continuing their effort to win support in Congress for a U.S. military strike against Syria, in response to a chemical weapons attack near Damascus last month. Secretary of State John Kerry told lawmakers that U.S. intelligence can prove that Syria’s Bashar Assad has used the weapons at least 11 times. And he said, “The world is wondering whether the United States of America is going to consent with silence.” But Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says U.S. involvement could “make the tragedy worse” in Syria.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. officials say President Barack Obama’s top national security aides have recommended that he suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Egypt in response to the Egyptian military’s ouster of the country’s first democratically elected leader. Such a step would be a dramatic shift for an administration that has declined to label Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s ouster a coup. The officials say Obama won’t likely make a decision on the aid suspension or the amount until after Congress votes on his request for authorization for military strikes on Syria.
STOCKHOLM (AP) – President Barack Obama is trying to reassure Europeans about controversial U.S. government surveillance programs. He told reporters in Stockholm Wednesday that the U.S. is “not going around snooping at people’s emails or listening to their phone calls.” But documents that were leaked by Edward Snowden reveal that the National Security Agency collects and stores all kinds of data traveling through the Internet, including emails, video chats and instant messages.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio prison officials say Ariel Castro used a bedsheet to hang himself in his prison cell Tuesday night. His death came a little more than a month after he was sentenced to serve life in prison plus 1,000 years for holding three women captive in his home and raping them for a decade.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Former President Bill Clinton is urging opponents of the federal health care overhaul to help implement it rather than continue “replaying” debates about the measure and trying to repeal it. Speaking at his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., Clinton Wednesday offered a detailed defense of the law. Clinton’s speech is the first in a series by administration officials and allies before the Oct. 1 open enrollment for the insurance exchanges.
