Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 16, 2013) — The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation has approved a PACE interest buydown for an expansion at Buffalo City Diesel.
On Wednesday’s (Oct 16, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JSDC’s Business Development Coordinator, DeAnn Brunner said, the JSDC will provide a loan of up to $200,000 while the Bank of North Dakota will provide a grant of up to $300,000 to reduce the interest on the loan for the expansion.
The money loaned by the JSDC is repaid after the original expansion loan is paid off. The original expansion loan is about $350,000.
She also noted that Jamestown will host a statewide economic development conference.
The gathering is set for October 28-30, 2013, at the Quality Inn and Suites, in Jamestown.
The public is invited to attend and may pre-register on line at

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A Dickinson man has died in an incident in the western North Dakota oil patch.
The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office says 25-year-old Ryan Provancher was working on pipes at an oil pumping site northwest of Killdeer on Oct. 9 when he was exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas.
A man working with Provancher was able to escape the gas unharmed.
The co-worker and emergency officials unsuccessfully tried to revive Provancher at the scene. He died at a Dickinson hospital two days later.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – All three members of North Dakota’s congressional delegation voted in favor of the measure that has ended the 16-day partial shutdown of the federal government and averted the possibility of a national default.
But Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and Rep. Kevin Cramer all say there is much work to be done to find long-term solutions to government spending and the national deficit.
Hoeven and Cramer are Republicans, and Heitkamp a Democrat.
The federal government has reopened its doors after Congress on Wednesday approved the bipartisan measure ending the shutdown and President Barack Obama signed it early Thursday.
FARGO, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 17, 2013) – After an in-depth analysis, the North Dakota Army National Guard has decided to shut two of its 23 armories in the state. Leaders plan to close the Hazen and Cavalier facilities by December.
“This decision did not come quickly or easily, but challenging times require difficult decisions,” said Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk, North Dakota adjutant general. “We are facing a future of uncertainties – both in North Dakota and around the United States – due to new national strategies regarding the size and composition of our military force. That’s coupled with the drawdown in Afghanistan and constrained funding due to sequestration. We need to find a balance that will allow us to continue to provide support for domestic requirements while maintaining our federal relevancy.”
Many states are moving toward regionalization by focusing on larger, more efficient facilities in key population areas. As in other states, North Dakota National Guard leaders expect this approach to enhance the ability to maintain Soldier and unit readiness by concentrating recruiting efforts in those key population areas. Furthermore, it’s expected that regionalization will increase the Guard’s ability to respond to natural disasters. Additionally, it will reduce the long-term state costs required for updating and modernizing outdated facilities while also giving the Guard the potential to bring in federal funding for new construction in bigger population areas closer to where the majority of Soldiers live. Currently, 71 percent of all North Dakota Army National Guard members live within 10 miles of the state’s 10 biggest cities.
The North Dakota National Guard has used the Hazen Armory since 1977, when Detachment 1, Company A, 164th Engineer Battalion established its home there. Today, it’s home to Detachment 1 of the 818th Engineer Company (Sapper), which will move to Minot once the armory closes.
Cavalier became home to the Guard’s Company A, 231st Engineer Battalion, in December 1946. Today, the 134th Quartermaster Detachment drills at the armory. Those Soldiers will transition to Grand Forks after the armory closes.
“Hazen and Cavalier have supported our service members for many years, both through stateside call-ups and overseas deployments,” Sprynczynatyk said. “We’re grateful for the communities’ many years of support and the important role each played in the North Dakota National Guard.”
The state’s remaining 21 North Dakota Army National Guard armories are in Bismarck, Bottineau, Cando, Carrington, Devils Lake (Camp Grafton Training Center), Dickinson, Edgeley, Fargo, Grafton, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Lisbon, Mayville, Minot, Mott, Oakes, Rugby, Valley City, Wahpeton, Williston and Wishek.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Three more members of a Fargo-based Air National Guard unit are returning home from Afghanistan.
The Guard says the airmen with the 119th Security Forces Squadron are scheduled to fly into Fargo on Thursday morning. About two dozen other members of the unit returned home about a week ago. Four other members will come home later.
The unit served about half a year overseas, helping with security at Bagram Airfield and elsewhere in Afghanistan.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – State and federal health officials are investigating a cluster of hepatitis C cases in Ward County centered around a Minot nursing home.
The North Dakota Department of Health says three cases initially were identified in August. Since then, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked four additional cases to the first three. Samples from 28 more people have been sent to the CDC to be tested.
All of the cases involve people who are 60 or older, and are former or current residents of ManorCare Health Services.
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can cause serious liver damage or even death. Some people who get it recover, but most carry the virus in their blood for a lifetime and develop chronic infection.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors in North Dakota have dismissed state charges against a Bismarck man accused of having sex with a South Dakota girl because he’s been sentenced in federal court.
A Burleigh County judge granted the request to drop luring and other felony charges against 41-year-old Quentin Doerr.
Doerr was sentenced in Aberdeen, S.D., to five years in prison on federal charges stemming from the same crime.
He pleaded guilty to transportation of child pornography and was sentenced in August.
Doerr was scheduled to stand trial on the North Dakota charges Wednesday but a judge dismissed the case Tuesday.
According to an affidavit, Doerr told an investigator he met the girl online, knew she was 16 and drove to Redfield, S.D., and had sex with her.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – One of the two men accused of killing and dismembering a Sioux Falls man in Bismarck now is accused of assaulting another man in jail.
26-year-old Theo Crowe is charged with misdemeanor simple assault. His attorney, Blake Hankey, was out of the office early Wednesday and didn’t immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
Burleigh County Deputy Troy Fleck alleges in an affidavit that Crowe punched another inmate in the head Oct. 1, causing a 1-inch cut requiring four stitches. Fleck wrote the other inmate didn’t appear to strike Crowe or fight back.
Crowe is being held without bond on a murder conspiracy charge in the May death of John Swain. Crowe has pleaded not guilty, as has his co-defendant, 20-year-old Joshua Clark.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of participating in a violent drug trafficking ring in the North Dakota oil patch has pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy and weapons charges.
Fifty-year-old Brian Dahl, also known as Kodiak, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Bismarck to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and brandishing a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Dahl was part of an organized gang that used violence to “enforce loyalty within their crew.”
Court documents accuse one member of the conspiracy, Jeffrey Butler, of ordering others to kill Robert Osterhout, who was kidnapped in Williston in August 2012 and left for dead in Montana. Osterhout survived the attack.
Dahl, who was not among five people charged in the kidnapping, admitted in court Wednesday to dealing drugs with Butler.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has activated an online service to connect farmers and ranchers needing wetland credits with agricultural landowners who have available wetlands.
Under the Wetland Conservation Act, a farmer can’t drain or reduce a wetland on his or her property without creating or expanding a wetland elsewhere. Farmers also can replace lost wetlands by obtaining wetland credits from a landowner who has eligible wetlands.
Goehring says his department doesn’t participate in the negotiations between landowners. But he says the wetland credits database that can be found on the department’s website at http://www.nd.gov/ndda can help bring the parties together.
The database was authorized by the Legislature earlier this year.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials are trying to determine if Tesoro knew about potential problems with a pipeline that leaked more than 20,000 barrels of crude oil. Regulators want to know more about inspections conducted before the spill reported by a farmer last month. Tesoro says it inspected the pipeline about two weeks before the spill was reported.
UNDATED (AP) – North Dakota mineral owners have filed lawsuits seeking damages from oil drilling companies for natural gas that’s lost when it’s burned. Mineral rights owners argue they have lost millions of dollars because oil drilling companies burn off large quantities of gas. Oil industry officials have said the key to reducing flaring is to get pipelines in place to handle the gas.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay is backing down a bit after Broncos coach John Fox and former Colts general manager Bill Polian chided him for comments critical of Peyton Manning.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Many House Republicans say they’re not giving up the fight to get rid of President Barack Obama’s health care law, even though a deal to raise the debt limit and end a partial government shutdown did not include what Republicans had been fighting for. House Speaker John Boehner says, “Our drive to stop the train wreck that is the president’s health care law will continue.”
BEIJING (AP) – The head of the International Monetary Fund is welcoming the deal on Capitol Hill that ended the partial government shutdown and averted a possible U.S. default of its debts after midnight. But Christine Lagarde says there must be a more long-term solution. The legislation allows the Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 and possible a little longer. The government is funded through Jan. 15.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) – Officials say there’s no way of knowing if an international team is being deliberately targeted as it works to get rid of Syria’s chemical weapons. In recent days, car bombs and mortars have exploded close to the Damascus hotel where the inspectors are staying. A senior official at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons says the team is almost half done making Syria’s chemical weapon production facilities inoperable.
LONDON (AP) – An agency with the World Health Organization says it has scientific evidence that air pollution causes lung cancer.
