Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen says the new 750,000 gallon, $2-million water tower to serve Southwest Jamestown is moving ahead on schedule, and should be on line this fall. She points out that the tower will be painted with a design yet to be chosen next spring.
The new water tower is to serve areas near the Jamestown Regional Medical Center, Louis L’Amour Elementary School, Buffalo Mall, Walmart and the North Dakota State Hospital.
An affiliated project brings the force main water lines south and west of the Wal-Mart and Buffalo Mall area.
The completion date on construction on the water lines is expected by October 15, 2013.
The water tower should be finished by November 30, 2013 with the tower painted by July 15, 2014.

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.

20-year-old Tyler Howard Graening is charged with one count of Class A felony gross sexual imposition, one count of Class C felony failure to register as a sexual offender and one count of corruption of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor.
He has no recent address listed.
Court documents say Graening is a sex offender from Minnesota and a West Fargo police detective began investigating after he failed to register locally.
The police report says the girl told authorities she had been in a sexual relationship with Graening.
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 Senior, admitted to the crimes and that Bagola’s confession was coerced by the FBI.
KILLDEER, N.D. (AP) – Basin Electric Power Cooperative is scrapping plans to build an electrical substation in the Killdeer Mountains area of western North Dakota.
But the utility is still planning to build a transmission line in the area of a historical 1864 battle between Army soldiers and American Indians.
Basin wants to build the 200-mile line to deliver more electricity to the Bakken oil fields. State regulators held a hearing in Killdeer on Wednesday about the proposal. Public Service Commission President Brian Kalk says it could be two months before the group makes a decision. The project also needs federal approval.
The proposed $300 million project comes at a time when an alliance is trying to protect the Killdeer Mountains region from oil drilling.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man from Elmira, N.Y., has donated a rare first-edition journal to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center at Washburn, N.D.

The 67-year-old Thompson and his wife followed the route of the Lewis and Clark Trail from St. Louis to the Pacific and chose the interpretive center as the home for the book.
Center Director David Borlaug tells The Bismarck Tribune the 1807 edition will be the oldest and most valuable book in the center’s collection. First editions of the Gass journal have sold for upward of $20,000.
The center’s new library is being dedicated Sept. 21-22.

NEW YORK (AP) – Today’s U.S. Open schedule is highlighted by men’s quarterfinal action, beginning with Andy Murray against No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka before top seed Novak Djokovic (JOH’-koh-vihch) battles Mikhail Youzhny (YOOZ’-nee). Second seed Rafael Nadal (nah-DAHL’) cruised into the semifinals with a 6-love, 6-2, 6-2 win over No. 19 Tommy Robredo (roh-BREH’-doh). Nadal next faces eighth seed Richard Gasquet (gas-KAY’), who had been 1-8 all-time against fourth seed David Ferrer (dah-VEED’ feh-REHR’) before beating the Spaniard 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3.
Women’s second seed Victoria Azarenka is the only 20-something to reach the U.S. Open semifinals.
Azarenka lost her first service game in both sets and still managed to post a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Daniela Hantuchova (han-too-KOH’-vah). Next up for Azarenka is unseeded Flavia Pennetta, who’s a Grand Slam semifinalist for the first time after breezing through a 6-4, 6-1 win against 10th seed Roberta Vinci.

Williams faces fifth seed Li Na (lee nah) in the semis.
NFL-MOVES
Rookies Smith, Manuel gets starts
UNDATED (AP) – The Jets are going with rookie Geno Smith at quarterback for the season opener with Tampa Bay on Sunday. The move was expected after veteran Mark Sanchez went down with a right shoulder injury in an exhibition game against the Giants on Aug. 24.
The Buffalo Bills are also going with a first year quarterback, giving first-round draft pick EJ Manuel the start against New England Sunday. Manuel has been recovering from a left knee injury sustained in a 20-16 preseason win over Minnesota on Aug. 16. He missed two weeks before returning to practice on Sunday.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – New York’s Oneida Indian Nation says it is launching a radio ad campaign pressing for the Washington Redskins to get rid of a nickname the tribe considers to be a racial slur.
The first ad is set to run on radio stations in Washington before the team hosts the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. In it, Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should “stand up to bigotry.”
The ads launch as the Washington Redskins this year face a fresh barrage of criticism over their nickname. Team owner Dan Snyder has vowed to never change the name.
An NFL spokesman says the name is used in a respectful manner and the league respects “that reasonable people may have differing views.”

CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s unrest has taken a new turn today, when a senior government official was the target of a bomb attack. Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the country’s police, says a “large” explosive device likely detonated by remote control targeted his convoy. Appearing on state television, the minister appeared shaken but unhurt. At least eight people were injured, including two police officers and a child seriously.
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) – The G-20 summit is to focus on the global economy, but U.S. officials are resigned to Syria overwhelming much of the discussion. President Barack Obama is meeting on the summit’s sidelines with the leaders of France, China and Japan. A Chinese finance ministry official warns that an international military strike targeting Syria for the Assad government’s alleged chemical attack would have a negative impact on the global economy, sending oil prices higher and dampening growth.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – South Korea says North Korea has agreed to restore a cross-border military hotline. North Korea cut the hotline in March during a period of high tensions in which it issued a series of threats including vows to launch nuclear strikes on Seoul and Washington. The communist regime has since dialed down its rhetoric.
MOSCOW (AP) – A Russian lawmaker is proposing a bill that would deny gay parents custody over their children. The draft bill would make the “fact of nontraditional sexual orientation” a basis for denying custody. Other grounds include alcoholism, drug use, and abuse. The proposal comes in the wake of a bill banning homosexual “propaganda” among minors. Authors of the bill have justified it as a measure aimed at protecting children, and not suppressing the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
