Jamestown (CSi) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports the recent heavy rain events in northern Stutsman County have not significantly affected the reservoir levels or releases at Jamestown and Pipestem Reservoirs.

The Pipestem Reservoir level was six feet into the flood storage area, which is no concern, with Pipestem Dam releasing 135 cfs, for a combined release of 148 cfs.
Martin says there may be an increase in release from Jamestown Reservoir this coming Monday, when the level may get into the flood storage area.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Chapter of The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, will hold the 2nd annual Unite to Silence the Stigma Bike Run to be held July 19.
Margo Haut, is Chairperson, of the local chapter.
She was joined on Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 by three of 11 committee members, Beth Lautt, Cyndy Rodacker, and Tara McGregor, each of whom lost a family member to suicide.
The bike run will start at Stutsman Harley Davidson with registration from 11-12:30pm. Kickstands are up at 12:30pm.
Prior to the run, at about 11:45 a.m., U.S. Senator, Heidi Heitkamp will speak to those gathered before the run. Heitkamp sits the U.S. Senate’s Veterans Relations Committee.
The ride ends at IDK Bar and Grill with a hog roast, door prizes, and fellowship. The cost of the Run is $25/rider, $10/passenger.
Cars are welcome at the Run.
The cost of registration includes a bandana, meal, and door prize entries.
On our show, Margo stated that “Unite to Silence the Stigma” came from the vision of the Family of Thomas Doyle…in Fall of 2013, after attending the “Out of Darkness” Walk for Suicide Prevention, Thomas’ Father, Dave Lautt approached her inquiring about potential assistance with a Motorcycle Run.
She added that as Chairperson, of the local committee, “I so appreciate this Family’s generosity, Beth and Dave Lautt were not selfish as they welcomed individuals and/or families to join us in launching the First “Silence the Stigma” Motorcycle Run that took place in July of 2014 raising $10,000 with goal to educate and prevent suicide.”
One other individual that was instrumental in the success of the Motorcycle Run was Tavia Smith who chairs the “Silence the Stigma” Motorcycle Run in Fargo, being in their fifth year.
Statics from 2015 ~ An American dies by suicide every 12.95 minutes…this is 111 Americans lost to suicide every day ~ 22 are Veterans that we lose to to suicide per day.
Margo added that in listening to local Families and/or Individuals, statements consisted of “we never saw it coming”, “if only we had known the warning signs”, “if only he/she would have reached out for help”, we tried to get help but couldn’t get it” ~ the consistent message behind it was Stigma!”
The Jamestown Committee deemed to take it one step further changing the the title to “Unite to Silence the Stigma” adding that the loss to Suicide has No Boundaries ~ it has taken individuals and/or families from all walks of life to “Unite to Silence the Stigma”.
This Year “DC Faber, of Denver will make a presentation not only the day of the Run, but also on Saturday July 18 at 10AM at the “Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.” The program will run to 2-PM, and includes lunch.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The Highway Patrol has identified two people who died in a head-on collision involving a pickup truck and a water tanker truck in Williams County.
Authorities say 27-year-old Justin Olsen of Kuna, Idaho, was the driver of a pickup truck that caught fire after the crash shortly before 1:30 a.m. on July 9. He died at the scene, along with 28-year-old passenger Jacob Smith, of Ray.
The driver of the tanker truck was not hurt.
The patrol says the pickup truck was traveling east in the westbound lane of state Highway 1804, about 20 miles east of Williston.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set at $25,000 for a Williston man accused of shooting another man in an alley after a fight at a nearby house party.
Police allege that 43-year-old Nash Wollan shot Michael Raphael early in the morning of July 11, hitting him under an arm and paralyzing him. He could face up to 16 years in prison if convicted on charges of aggravated assault, terrorizing and carrying a concealed weapon.
Court documents don’t list an attorney for him, and a home telephone listing is disconnected. Wollan could enter pleas to the charges at an Aug. 27 court hearing.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say searches of vehicles belonging to a retired North Dakota doctor missing in southwestern Montana have yielded no clues.
Seventy-four-year-old Patrick Fitzpatrick, of Bismarck, was last seen in Bozeman, Montana, two weeks ago. His truck and trailer were found abandoned in a rural area. He also left behind a van in the parking lot of a Bismarck fishing tackle shop.
The sheriff’s office in Montana’s Gallatin County says deputies found medicine in Fitzpatrick’s truck that family members say he took for heart issues.
Nothing was found in the truck or van that gave any clues to Fitzpatrick’s whereabouts.
Authorities believe Fitzpatrick might have been confused and wandered off, or gotten a ride from someone else. They say they have no indication of a crime.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Building a children’s science museum and developing transit stop shelters are among prospective projects being considered as Minot moves into the second phase of a national competition for nearly $1 billion in federal disaster recovery money.

Minot is recovering from the June 2011 Souris River flood that caused nearly $700 million in damage.
About 30 applicants were eliminated last month. Those remaining are now developing specific plans that are due in October. Successful proposals will be announced early next year.
