Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Engineer’s Office reports that
Fourth Avenue East viaduct reopened Monday morning about 11-O’Clock.
Sediment (mud) was deposited on the street at the underpass, from Saturday’s torrential rain leading to the closure until the street surface was cleaned.
The slick surface had caused a male operator of a motorcycle to lose control of his bike, there.
He and his female passenger were taken to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.
Valley City (CSi) Motorists in Valley City are advised to use caution with two areas of the city experiencing street, and water main replacement projects.
The seal coat work is expected to be completed by Tuesday, August 19, 2014.
On-street parking is prohibited within the project.
Access to residential properties and businesses is disrupted while the work is being completed in each project area; however, these should be minimal.
The work are is listed in a map posted with this story at CsiNewsNow.com
Also construction for a water main replacement project is in progress near Mercy Hospital and Sanford Clinic.
Those streets affected by construction are 6th Street Northeast from 5th Avenue Northeast to the Hospital Bridge.
6th Street Northeast may be closed during the project and access to Mercy Hospital may not be available from the north, with full access from the south along 6th Avenue Northeast.
Cooperstown (CSi) — The Griggs County Courthouse construction project remains at a standstill, three months following construction crews walking off the job over payment issues.
The dispute involves the $1.25 million Emergency Operations Center portion of the project.
The Griggs County Courthouse and Emergency Operations Center, in Cooperstown is nearly completed.
The County has obtained a $1 million federal grant awarded to build the EOC portion of the $3.5 million project, and North Dakota Department of Emergency Services has released two payments totaling nearly $160,000 to the county.
Construction Engineers, the project’s Grand Forks-based general contractor, and subcontractors stopped working on the project May 2, 2014, after the contractor said the county was overdue on paying $170,000 in bills. The project is estimated to be 90 to 95 percent completed.
The Griggs County project involves two separate projects within one contract, with each controlled by a different group, a result of a recall election last October in which all five county commissioners were defeated.
The county has until September 2015 to comply with grant regulations, or lose the federal funding.
Devils Lake (CSi) U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp, Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Jobs, Rural Economic Growth and Energy Innovation and member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Mondday announced $120,000 in federal funding to help grow small businesses in rural North Dakota communities.
The funding, made available through U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development which Heitkamp oversees as chair of the Subcommittee.
The funding will be used to develop more commercial business space in Garrison and help improve small business management and efficiency in Stutsman County. The funding is part of the Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program.
The grants are distributed as follows:
· South Central Dakota Regional Council – $24,000. The funds will be used to provide individual assistance to small businesses in Stutsman County to improve management and efficiency and create sustainable options for the future.
· Garrison Area Improvement Association – $96,000. The funds will be used to improve water and sewer infrastructure to develop two commercial lots, helping to alleviate the current shortage of available commercial business space in Garrison.
In North Dakota, small businesses make up 96 percent of all employers and employ almost 62 percent of the private-sector labor force. As a result, small businesses support a booming economy across the state, in addition to helping drive the national recovery from the Great Recession.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have arrested a suspect in recent vandalism to the Cass County Courthouse in Fargo.
The sheriff’s office says a 28-year-old man caught in the act of vandalizing the building just after midnight Sunday is believed to also have been responsible for two previous acts of vandalism this month.
The man was arrested for criminal mischief. Formal charges were pending.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Grand Forks police are looking for a person who reportedly robbed a convenience store of an undisclosed amount of money.
Authorities say the clerk at the Cenex store reported that a male entered the store about 5:15 a.m. Monday and demanded money from the safe. The clerk said the suspect did not display a weapon.
The clerk was not hurt.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – New details have emerged in the case of a Williston man who has been charged with human trafficking, gross sexual imposition and a number of other counts.
A transcript of a verbal affidavit obtained by The Associated Press describes several days in July when authorities say 38-year-old Keith Graves recruited a prostitute to work for him, raped her multiple times and forced her to take drugs at gunpoint.
Graves hasn’t entered a plea. His attorney during a court hearing Monday requested a preliminary hearing for after Oct. 1.
Graves is one of the subjects of “The Overnighters,” a documentary that follows a Williston pastor who opened his church and its parking lot to men arriving in town with nowhere to sleep. The film is expected to be released in October.
PHOENIX (AP) – Authorities say a possible hydraulic issue forced a Delta Air Lines flight from Arizona to Minnesota to return to the Phoenix’s airport.
Delta spokeswoman Lindsay McDuff says Flight 1492 was headed to Minneapolis-St. Paul on Monday morning when the crew saw a warning about the right main landing gear after departure.
Federal Aviation Administration officials say the MD90 aboard landed without incident at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at 8:15 a.m. due to the reported hydraulic issue.
McDuff says the 160 passengers were being accommodated on other Delta flights and technicians at Sky Harbor were checking the plane.
In world and national news…
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) – A St. Louis County autopsy has found that the unarmed black teenager killed during a confrontation with a white police officer was shot six to eight times. The county medical examiner’s office says the autopsy showed Michael Brown was hit in the head and chest. Earlier Monday, attorneys for Brown’s family released details of their own autopsy. That procedure found that one of the bullets entered the top of Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when he suffered the fatal injury.
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is lifting a curfew in Ferguson while ordering the National Guard to help restore order in the St. Louis suburb that has seen sometimes violent protests since the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager. Nixon deployed the Guard following last night’s clash between armored police and what he describes as “a violent criminal element intent upon terrorizing the community.”
BAGHDAD (AP) – A spokesman for the Kurdish military says its peshmerga forces are now in full control of Iraq’s largest dam and its vicinity, successfully wresting back control from Islamic militants. The Iraqi military said earlier today that it had seized control of the Mosul Dam with the help of peshmerga ground troops and U.S. airstrikes, but that clashes with fighters of the Islamic State group were ongoing on the southern end of the dam’s complex.
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) – Pope Francis has endorsed the use of force in Iraq to stop Islamic militants from attacking religious minorities. But, Francis tells reporters traveling with him on his return from South Korea that the international community – not just one country – should decide how to stop “an unjust aggressor.”
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) – Somali police say security forces have arrested a senior commander considered to be the second-ranking leader of Somalia’s pirate industry. Police say he was arrested in the capital, Mogadishu, Sunday for possessing illegal arms and other charges related to piracy. Pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia have dropped dramatically over the last several years after ships began carrying armed guards.
