Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The Jamestown Public School Board Tuesday (Sept 17, 2013) voted in favor of Jamestown Public Schools providing Talented and Gifted Program services to St. John’s Academy.

In the 7-2 vote, board members Roy Musland and Gail Martin opposed the partnership.

The one-year pilot program,has Jamestown Public Schools providing TAG to St. John’s for the remainder of this school year at no cost.

Providing TAG to St. John’s will not bring extra costs to JPS.

Jamestown Public Schools Superintendent, Robert Lech said, if the pilot program is successful there would be a discussion of shared cost for the program.

It was reported that the school district is reducing the mill rate by 50 mills, reducing the rate from 155.4 mills to about 105 mills.

For the 2013 tax year, a $100,000 home in Jamestown would have paid about $1,937.

     The sheriff’s office did not immediately release details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

     Authorities say 47-year-old Ronald William Rogers Jr. shot 40-year-old Elizabeth Rogers to death Feb. 19 and placed a pistol in her hand.
 
     Rogers has pleaded guilty to the Class AA felony charge of murder and a misdemeanor count of willfully disturbing a dead body.
 
     His trial scheduled for next week was canceled.
 
     Rogers will be sentenced after a presentence investigation is done. He faces up to life in prison without parole.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An FBI forensic examiner says DNA from murder suspect Valentino Bagola was found underneath the fingernails of one of the two children he’s accused of murdering on the Spirit Lake Reservation.

Bagola is on trial in Fargo in the May 2011 deaths of 9-year-old Destiny Shaw-DuBois and her 6-year-old brother, Travis DuBois Jr. Authorities allege Bagola stabbed the two children to death after sexually assaulting the girl. His defense claims the children’s father confessed to the killings.

     Mississippi has the highest rate of poverty, while New Hampshire has the lowest.

 

  BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A company in Canada and one in Texas have extended an agreement to feed natural gas from North Dakota’s oil patch into an existing pipeline that moves gas to Chicago.

The system extends from western Canada to the Chicago hub, where the gas is sold to Midwest and East Coast markets.
