 Bismarck, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Sept 28, 2012) — The National Weather Service in its, latest Hydrologic Outlook, (Issued Sept 28, 2012)says the overall risk of flooding in the James River and Missouri River basins, tend to be very low, and lower than normal.

Soil moisture is below normal across a wide area, due to high temperatures, and below normal precipitation during the latter half of the summer and early fall.

The area has the ability to withstand a significant rain event without reaching flood stage.

The report cautions, rains can still occur and can produce flash flooding on small streams and typically dry drainages.

The Weather Service says reservoirs are generally within the lower range of normal for this time of year, and high releases from dams are only a very remote possibility.

The Climate Prediction Center, suggests only the very southern portions of North Dakota has an increased probability of above normal temperatures for October with an equal chance of above normal or below normal precipitation.

For October, November and December of 2012, there is an increased probability of above normal temperatures, and an equal chance for above normal, or below normal precipitation.

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — – Plans are moving ahead for Endless Harvest’s, commercial greenhouse business, planned for Jamestown.

The Hydrosun Hyrdoponics developed plan, contains a nearly 3-acre greenhouse, plus support facilities, living quarters and an educational facility, at an estimated cost of $10 million.

Phase-One, is ready to get started. The Hydrosun Hyrdoponics developed plan, contains a nearly 3-acre greenhouse, plus support facilities, living quarters and an educational facility, at an estimated cost of $10 million.

Hydrosun Hydroponics owner, Steve Froehlich says, about 60 percent of the financing has been arranged for Phase One, which is anticipated to raise 4.5 million head of leaf lettuce, annually, about 7 percent of the annual lettuce consumption in North Dakota and Minnesota.

The goal is 36 million heads per year, at a 21.6-acre greenhouse.

The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. authorized a feasibility study in January this year, to determine if a lettuce greenhouse would be profitable.

Also being looked at is the best equipment and practices for operating it.

Hyrdosun is looking at options for a Jamestown location.

The Jamestown educational facility, would be a catalyst to jump start this type of facility all around the U.S.

Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation, CEO Conne Ova says potential investors are invited to get more information, through the JSDC office, in Jamestown.

According to consultant, Lance Brower when the controlled environment agriculture business is established, locally produced lettuce would be in grocery stores, in place of lettuce that comes to the area from the west coast.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man accused of killing his
mother and stealing her car plans to plead guilty.
     Dean Grenstiner had been scheduled to stand trial beginning Nov.
27 on charges of murder and theft of property.
     The trial has been canceled and a change of plea hearing is scheduled
for Nov. 13.
     Grenstiner is charged with beating his mother to death in her
home last March.

Authorities say Grenstiner was living with his mother, Ann Grenstiner, for several weeks before she was killed.
     A preliminary autopsy report said the cause of death was
multiple blows to the head. Grenstiner was arrested in Moorhead,
Minn., the day after his mother’s body was discovered.
     Grenstiner is being held without bond at the Burleigh County
Detention Center.

In world and national news…

 WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama
and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (neh-ten-YAH’-hoo)
remain in “full agreement” about keeping Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon.

They spoke by phone Friday — and the Obama administration’s account of the conversation offered no mention of Netanyahu’s dire declaration to the U.N. General Assembly.

The Israeli leader yesterday held up an image of a bomb and warned that
the world only has until next summer to stop Iran from building
one.
     
     WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is revoking a Chinese
company’s purchase of four wind farm projects in the vicinity of a
U.S. naval facility’s restricted airspace.

Obama’s decision is likely to be another irritant in the increasingly tense economic relationship between the U.S. and China.

That country’s trade advantage has emerged as a key issue in Obama’s re-election battle with Republican Mitt Romney.

The administration cites unspecified national security risks as the reason for blocking the transaction.
     
     BOSTON (AP) – The Massachusetts attorney general says
authorities have no idea why a lab chemist would have faked test
results except that she wanted to be seen as a good worker.

Annie Dookhan was arrested at her home today.

She’s charged with two felony counts of obstruction of justice and a misdemeanor, lying about her resume.

State police say Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab.
     
     ROSEVILLE, Mich. (AP) – Authorities are finding no visible sign
of human remains in the soil and clay they’re removing from under
the concrete outside a Detroit-area home.

The material will be tested for evidence of human decomposition. It’s the latest effort to find the remains of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, who disappeared in 1975.
     
     SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) – A California jury is recommending
the death penalty for an arsonist who was convicted of murder in
the deaths of five men who died of heart attacks during a Southern
California wildfire nearly a decade ago.

The men died after their homes burned or as they tried to evacuate. One law professor says the death penalty case is similar to that of bank robbers who have been tried for murder after bank tellers died of heart attacks.
    

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A Minot family has donated half a million
dollars to a Scandinavian foundation in North Dakota.

Dan Langemo of First Western Bank & Trust presented the check from the
Charles and Magdalene Westlie Trusts to the H Hostfest-Heritage
Foundation on Tuesday.

The Westlies, who passed away a few years ago, founded Westlie Motor Co. in Minot.
     The Hostfest-Heritage Foundation was formed to promote and
preserve the Norsk Hostfest Association, which runs Norsk Hostfest,
a Scandinavian festival.

It also promotes the Scandinavian Heritage Association, which runs the Scandinavian Heritage Park.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Small western North Dakota airfields that
were built decades ago increasingly are being used by business jets
and cargo planes in support of the booming oil industry.
     State Aeronautics Commissioner Larry Taborsky says most of the
small airports in the oil patch weren’t built for the traffic they
have now.
     Officials estimate more than $300 million is needed in
improvements over the next five years at eight small airfields in
western North Dakota and at the small regional airports in
Dickinson, Williston and Minot.
     No crashes have been blamed on inadequate airports to date but
there have been some close calls.

Taborsky says the runway ramp in Watford City is crumbling and a small jet punched through the pavement last winter, damaging the airplane’s landing gear.
    

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – For the second time in two years, a
Dickinson State University research team has found a rare shrew in
western North Dakota.
     The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of National
History confirmed the tiny critter found this summer was a
Merriam’s shrew. The Smithsonian also confirmed the shrew found
last year.
     Dickinson State associate professor Michael Shaughnessy says  the shrew is not endangered and has a wide range in the western U.S. But he says
it’s rare to find one in North Dakota.
     Until the discoveries in the past two years, the only other
Merriam’s shrew documented in North Dakota was caught near Medora
in 1913.
     The recent discoveries were made in an ongoing project involving
students who are surveying prairie dog towns.
