Jamestown (CSi) A record number of participants ran or walked in the 2015 Runnin’ O’ The Green in Jamestown on March 14.
On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, organizer, Larry Knoblich said this year 2,700 registered runners participated, breaking the previous record of 2,300 in 2012 when the temperature was also unseasonably warm, which Knoblich says brings out more participants.
He added that the goal of $30,000 to raise was met, and exceeded, as other donations came from the community along the run route, plus donations from volunteer drivers, and Megan at Wildside Creations in Jamestown gave over and above the dollars collected for t-shirt sales of $800, giving $1,500.
Bar tenders also gave donations from collection jars.
Knoblch added that additional donations are still coming in by mail.
The donations are divided this year with $20,000 going to the Elks Camp Grassick, and $10,000 to be divided among 20-cancer patients.
In 2014 there were 2,100 registered particpants with $12,000 going to Camp Grassick, and $10,000 going to cancer patients.
He pointed out in 2014 the temperature was much colder, which likely held down the number of participants.
Knoblich noted that Jamestown Police officers in uniform along the run route helped in keeping the participants under better control.
Earlier this week Knoblich met in a post-runnin’ meeting with Jamestown Police and Jamestown city officials, along with bar owners to discuss how this year’s run went, and gave suggestions for next year’s run.
He pointed out that in 2016 The Runnin’ O’ The Green will be held on Saturday March 19.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A measure that would allow North Dakotans to begin buying booze at restaurants on Sunday morning has failed by a single vote.
The bipartisan measure would allow alcohol sales on Sundays to begin at 11 a.m. instead of noon.
The bill failed in the Senate Thursday by a 23-22 vote. Senate bills require 24 votes to pass.
Two Senators were absent. The bill could be reconsidered Friday if they return.
The bill passed the House last month by a 49-42 margin.
Proponents say North Dakota’s restrictions put cities bordering other states at a disadvantage because those states allow for earlier booze sales on Sundays.
The legislation does not allow for off-sale liquor sales. It also does not require restaurants to serve booze at the earlier time.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – An international real estate company is pressing officials in North Dakota’s Williams County to make a decision on a proposed $500 million development on the outskirts of the oil patch hub of Williston.
The Williston Herald reports that Swiss-based Stropiq has asked the Williams County Commission to force its planning and zoning committee to make a recommendation on Williston Crossing. The project would include 1 million square feet of retail, entertainment, office and hotel space.
The committee late last month voted to study the proposal amid concerns about stressing local resources.
Stropiq officials in a letter to the county say they’re willing to discuss ways to address those concerns. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday.
County commissioners also plan to address the matter at their March 24 meeting.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The Midwest Chapter of the Wild Sheep Association says it will continue to support the animals in North Dakota, despite not having a hunting license to auction this year.
North Dakota has auctioned a bighorn license each year since 1986 to raise money for sheep management. But officials announced earlier this month that there will be no bighorn hunting season this year for the first time in more than three decades because of sheep deaths due to bacterial pneumonia.
The sheep association has handled the license auction for the state. President Curt Babler says the group has “put a lot of energy into North Dakota,” including helping pay the salary of a big game biologist for five years. He says the association won’t back away now.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Days after winning Israel’s election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be backtracking from hard-line statements that ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu told MSNBC Thursday that he remains committed to Palestinian statehood – if conditions in the region improve. In the closing days of his campaign, Netanyahu said there could be no Palestinian state while regional violence and chaos persist. The comments angered the Obama administration, which views a two-state solution as a top foreign policy priority.
ROME (AP) – An Italian cruise line says five passengers on one of its ships were killed in Wednesday’s attack on a museum in Tunisia. Costa Crociere (kroh-chee-EHR’-eh) says four Italians and a Russian were killed and eight others were injured. Costa says it has canceled all upcoming stops in Tunisian ports. In all, 23 people were killed in the attack in the Tunisian capital, 20 of them foreign tourists. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility.
NEWTON, N.J. (AP) – Authorities say two New Jersey boys at the center of a custody dispute have been found unharmed in Florida with their father and a Tennessee fugitive wanted on sex charges. Authorities say Kristopher Dohm left New Jersey in February with his 8 and 7-year-old sons in violation of a custody agreement. New Jersey prosecutors say Dohm and his sons were found at an inn in New Port Richey, Florida, Wednesday, along with a man who is wanted in Tennessee on charges that include sexual exploitation of a minor.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders are proposing to speed up more than $1 billion in spending for drought relief. Two bills would provide immediate aid to communities facing dire water shortages and unemployment. They include money for emergency drinking water, food aid, fish and wildlife protections and groundwater management. The measure will need the Legislature’s approval. California is coping with a fourth dry year.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation’s wild Jekyll-Hyde winter will likely dictate what weather worries Americans have this spring. Federal meteorologists forecast that the record hot and dry winter in the West will likely worsen the drought problems for California and its neighbors. And the record snowfall in New England and parts of the Northeast have the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on guard for moderate flooding this spring with snow that will eventually melt. NOAA predicts a spring that’s wetter than normal in most of the South and unusually warm for much of the West.
