UPDATE…
Kensal (CSi) Authorities report what was originally reported as a shooting in rural Kensal, with as many as four people injured, never happened.
Stutsman County Sheriff, Chad Kaiser told reporters that the Stutsman County Law Enforcement Center in Jamestown received a call about 11:06 a.m. from a federal game and Fish employee, Thursday, of a “shooting” that occurred at 8420 Highway 9 in the Kensal area. The initial report to authorities indicated that multiple individuals may have suffered gunshot wounds, and ambulances and authorities had been called to the scene.
The occupant of the home, 65-year-old Jim Devillers told authorities that four people were breaking into his home, saying that he shot two of them.
Law enforcement officials were unable to find any signs to support the man’s story.
They say Devillers suffers from dementia, and his family said he was suffering from some mental health issues over the past two weeks.
He was transported to the state hospital for evaluation.
Law Enforcement gave the “all clear,” message about 2:15-p.m.
Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and the James Valley Special Operations Team (Jamestown Police, Valley City Police, the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office), responded to the location, along with the North Dakota Highway Patrol, and Jamestown Area Ambulance Service. Two life flight helicopters from Sanford Hospital were also staged at the scene.
Authorities performed a sweep of the farm property in that area.
A North Dakota Highway Patrol airplane was flying over the area, while the Border Patrol helicopter used thermal imaging to look for a suspect.
After talking with Devillers, authorities decided it was safe to enter the home and conducted a search, which failed to turn up any evidence of a shooting, and that no one else was in the home as Devillers reported.

Coborn’s Inc. has Cash Wise stores in several other markets in North Dakota, so by converting our store, we will be able to create more efficiencies that will allow us to provide our customers with great food at much lower prices.”
All employees will keep their positions; no jobs will be lost and wages will not be impacted by this conversion, while some duties will be adjusted.
Cash Wise Foods stores have been in operation in Fargo/Moorhead and Bismarck for 26 years.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Cramer says he’s learned lots of important lessons during his first term and has often experienced frustration.

Cramer says his job is “very stimulating” and that many members of Congress seek him out to talk about North Dakota and its economic success. He says he has learned, over and over again, that patience is a virtue and that working in Congress can be frustrating but important work.

BALTIMORE (AP) – The Baltimore Orioles will have shortstop J.J. Hardy for a few more seasons, and they don’t plan to have Chris Davis for the American League Championship Series against Kansas City.
Hardy has signed a three-year contract that includes an option for 2018. Hardy has averaged 21 homers in his four seasons with the Orioles and won Gold Gloves in 2012 and 2013. He batted .268 with nine homers and 52 RBIs in 141 games this season and was 3-for-10 in the American League Division Series versus the Tigers

Davis still has five more games to serve in a 25-game suspension he received from Major League Baseball on Sept. 12 for testing positive for Adderall, a banned amphetamine. He could be put on the roster if the series goes at least six games and the Orioles lose a player due to injury.
