Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) has moved its offices, but not far.

JSDC is still occupying space at the Center for Economic Development, in downtown Jamestown, but is in the space formerly occupied by the South Center Dakota Regional Council.

SCDRC is now located at Legacy Center in downtown Jamestown.

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 JSDC’s Vice President of Economic Development, Holly Miller said the former JSDC space is available for lease. Call JSDC at 252-6861 for more information.

Jamestown (CSi) The Coborn’s grocery store in Jamestown is becoming a Cash Wise Foods.

The Store has been closed to convert to Cash Wise December 8-10, 2014, and reopens as Cash Wise at 6-a.m., on December 11^th. The store hours will remain the same: open from 6 a.m. to midnight.

During this down time the store is being updated with Cash Wise décor. No structural changes are planned.

Officials say that prices will be lowered on thousands of items throughout the store.

The main difference between Cash Wise and Coborn’s is that the top focus for Cash Wise is low prices, which result from operating efficiencies.

Store Manager Kyle Wensmann, says “Our customers have been asking for a Cash Wise store in Jamestown and we’re responding to them by converting our Coborn’s store into a Cash Wise. 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.

 ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) – A three-vehicle crash in the western North Dakota oil patch has killed a Wisconsin man and injured two other people from out of state.
 
     The Highway Patrol says the crash happened shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. Highway 85, about 5 miles north of Alexander.
 
     Authorities say a car driven by a 21-year-old man from Union Grove, Wisconsin, collided with a pickup truck that had turned in front of the car. The car came to rest on the highway and was struck moments later by a large work truck hauling a flatbed trailer loaded with pipe.
 
     The Wisconsin man was taken to a Williston hospital, where he died. The two people in the pickup truck, from Pennsylvania and Arizona, suffered undisclosed injuries. The person in the work truck was not hurt.

ARGUSVILLE, N.D. (AP) – Cass County authorities have concluded that a shooting in rural Argusville was accidental.
 
     Deputies responded to a call about the shooting at a home late Sunday afternoon. The  sheriff’s office has concluded that the 38-year-old man who was wounded shot himself by accident.
 
     The man was taken to a Fargo hospital. Officials there are not releasing his condition.

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) – A teacher and coach in Wahpeton is accused of abusing two elementary school students.
 
     The  teacher has been put on administrative leave while authorities investigate. He has not been charged with a crime.
 
     The teacher is accused of pushing two fifth-grade boys against a wall and cussing at them. School district attorney Fred Strege says the district put the teacher on leave immediately following complaints by parents.
 
     School, police and social services officials are investigating. Calls made by The Associated Press to the teacher’s home telephone number were not answered on Wednesday.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors have filed attempted murder and drug charges against a Washington state man after a weekend stabbing at a Williston hotel.
 
     Authorities allege that 25-year-old Joshua Floyd stabbed his roommate during a fight over money. Defense attorney Nicole Foster declined comment to The Associated Press.
 
Police recovered a 4-inch-long serrated knife they believe was used in the attack. Officers said they also found marijuana in Floyd’s jacket.
 
     He was being held on $100,000 bond on misdemeanor drug charges and the felony attempted murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A professional services firm that has delivery centers in Mumbai, Manila, London, New York, Boston and Washington, D.C., is expanding its operation in North Dakota.
 
     A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday for Integreon’s new facility in Fargo. The 34,000-square-foot building will be home to 340 employees, with plans to add as many as 150 new jobs in the next year.
 
     The company has been in Fargo since 2001, but hasn’t had its own facility until now.
 
     Integreon CEO Bob Gogel tells The Associated Press that while the company’s clients are major multinationals, many of them prefer to deal with smaller centers that have a “human touch.”
 
     The new facility features training centers with advanced computers, virtual meeting spaces with large video monitors, a day care center and a cafeteria.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Williston commissioners have suspended the liquor licenses of the city’s two strip clubs for the second time in two years due to what police say are an excessive number of complaints about disorderly behavior.
 
     Commissioners in the oil boom town voted unanimously Tuesday night to suspend the licenses at Whispers Nightclub and Heartbreakers Gentleman’s Club for 60 days.
 
     Commissioners also suspended the strip clubs’ licenses in 2013 for excessive calls for disorderly behavior.
 
     Detective David Peterson says police have responded to almost 200 calls at the strip clubs since then. He says the large number of calls at the strip clubs takes away police resources from the rest of the town.
 
     Representatives from the clubs did not immediately return telephone calls on Wednesday.

 WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The limits for federal home loans in seven western North Dakota counties have been increased to reflect the region’s soaring housing costs.
 
     U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp on Wednesday said the higher Federal Housing Administration loan limits will allow more low-to-middle income families, first-time home buyers and seniors to afford a home.
 
     A housing shortage in the state’s oil patch has led to skyrocketing rents. Williams County, for example, has seen a 135 percent increase in median rent for a two-bedroom apartment over the past six years.
 
     Heitkamp says the higher loan limits will go into effect in January. The counties that will see the change approved by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development are Burleigh, McKenzie, Morton, Oliver, Sioux, Stark and Williams.

ANTLER, N.D. (AP) – Landowners in Bottineau County who are dealing with the effects of years of oil and saltwater spills say they want better enforcement of state regulations affecting energy development.
 
     Landowners say some properties have salt levels so high that even weeds won’t grow. And they say working with oil companies to rectify problems can be difficult.
 
     State Environmental Health Chief Dave Glatt on Tuesday met with members of the Northwest Landowners Association and area legislators. Glatt says the Health Department is committed to finding where leaks and spills are located and getting the land cleaned up. He also says the Legislature next year will be considering saltwater reclamation procedures.
 
     Antler resident Robert Artz says officials also should be focusing on preventing future spills.

In world and national news… 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic support is fading, for a huge, $1.1 trillion spending bill that would fund every corner of government. Liberal lawmakers have erupted over a provision that weakens the regulation of risky financial instruments and another that allows more money to flood into political parties. At the same time, conservatives are unhappy that the bill fails to challenge President Barack Obama’s immigration policy.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is following up on his promise to expand early education opportunities for tens of thousands of children. He announced today a billion dollars in public-private spending on programs for young learners. Obama said that not even a-third of 4-year-olds are enrolled in preschool. And he blamed the high cost of these programs for essentially shutting off access to poorer infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Lawmakers have been told  that the U.S. is falling behind other countries in allowing commercial use of drone aircraft. Witnesses told a House panel that those flights are taking off in other countries, while the U.S. hasn’t developed safety regulations that would allow unmanned aircraft operations by a wide range of industries. The Federal Aviation Administration bars all commercial use of drones, except for 13 companies that have been granted limited permits. Four of those permits were announced Wednesday.

 
     NEW YORK (AP) – The price of oil took another dive Wednesday, plunging to five-year lows. The fall comes amid mounting evidence that global supplies are far outstripping demand. The U.S. Energy Department reported a surprise increase in domestic oil inventories, and OPEC projected that next year, demand for its crude would sink to levels not seen in more than a decade.
