 Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Dec 6, 2012)  –  Southeast District Court Judge, John T. Paulson, has awarded a judgment of  $528.68  to Aron Williams, the defendant in a small claims court lawsuit brought against the James River Humane Society.

Williams  will donate the money to a veterinary clinic.

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Dec 6, 2012) — The Jamestown City Council met in Special Session Thursday afternoon at City Hall.

The Council entered into closed Executive Session, to consult with the City Attorney concerning the territorial service claims by the Stutsman Rural Water District.

Those attending the closed Executive Session were Mayor Andersen and all City Council Members, in addition to, City Administrator Jeff Fuchs, City Attorney Ken Dalsted, City Fire Chief Jim Reuther, and Jamestown City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf.

Following Thursday’s Executive Session, the City Council reconvened into open session.

At that time, Mayor Andersen noted those in attendance,  at the meeting  and a motion to adjourn the meeting was approved.

The open portion of the meeting was shown live on CSi 67.

At issue is a claim by Stutsman Rural Water that Jamestown was expanding its water service into territory Stutsman Rural Water has rights to serve, in the area of the Titan Machinery facility under construction near Jamestown Regional Medical Center,  which utility has the right to serve the area, which is in the one mile extraterritorial limits of the City of Jamestown.

Presently JRMC does not have a backup supply of water and the Titan Machinery building now under construction west of the JRMC and  has no water service installed at this time

The city has awarded bids on the project, and a $1 million construction contract to bring city water and sewer lines to the Titan Machinery location is on hold pending the resolution of the conflict.

On the December 3, 2012 Wayne Byers Show, on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Andersen said December 14, 2012 is the deadline to start plans for installing water and sewer lines at the Titan site.

She said the city must take action in the issue by that time in order for the installation to proceed in a timely fashion.

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Jamestown Regional Airport Manager, Mathew Leitner says, Great Lakes Airlines has modified the Jamestown-Minneapolis schedule.

On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Leitner said the afternoon departure and arrival, Monday through Friday was changed, effective December 1, 2012.

He pointed out that the flight leaves Minneapolis at 2:55 p.m., and arrives in Jamestown at 4:20-p.m.

The return flight to Minneapolis leaves Jamestown at 4:36 p.m., and arrives in Minneapolis at 5:55-p.m.

He added anyone that made flight arrangements for the afternoon flight prior to December 1, 2012 should double check with the airline to make sure proper arrangements have been made.

Leitner added that reservations with Great Lakes and to check for flight schedules can go on line to flyjamestown.net.

Also flyers may call Great Lakes Airlines, Delta, or their travel agent with that information also listed on the web site.

He said the November Jamestown boardings were 251, and on Wednesday Jamestown Regional Airport boarded 20 passengers.

He said the boarding numbers are improving over the past few months, after Great Lakes began serving Jamestown.

On another topic, Leitner said that he and the city and the State DOT are working to install signage, giving directions to the airport, in town and along the major highways leading to Jamestown, along with Highway 20.

　 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota National Guard soldier
killed this week in Afghanistan is being remembered as a soldier
and also as a mentor.
     Forty-one-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Darren Linde of Devils Lake
was a full-time instructor at the Camp Grafton Training Center.

Fellow instructor 1st Sgt. Kurt Schwind tells the Grand Forks
Herald that Linde earned the nicknames “Grandpa” and “Papa
Bear” and was proud of the terms of endearment.
     Linde and 20-year-old Spc. Tyler Orgaard of Bismarck died Monday
in a roadside bomb attack. They were serving with the 818th
Engineer Company. Orgaard’s family planned to make public
statements on Thursday.
     Twenty-three-year-old Spc. Ian Placek was wounded and is in
stable condition at a hospital in Germany. The Bismarck Tribune
reports he suffered burns to his chest, lungs and legs.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota ranks second in the nation
and South Dakota eleventh in the funding of programs to prevent
youth smoking and to help smokers quit.
     The annual rankings were released Thursday by a coalition of
public health groups including the Campaign For Tobacco-Free Kids
and the American Cancer Society. North Dakota’s rank did not change
over the year. South Dakota’s rank fell from eighth in fiscal 2012.

     The report says North Dakota spent $8.2 million on tobacco
prevention and cessation in fiscal 2013, about 88 percent of what
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends.
     South Dakota spent $4 million, about 35 percent of the CDC
recommendation.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s new smoking ban has taken
effect.
     The state had a limited ban for seven years. The new law passed
by voters a month ago expands the ban to bars, motels, private
nursing homes, cabs and public transportation. It also prohibits
smoking within 20 feet of an entrance to a public building.
     People who violate the ban can be fined $50. Bars that don’t
comply can be stripped of their tobacco and liquor licenses.
     The ban passed with 67 percent of the vote in the Nov. 6 general
election. The law went into effect Thursday.

 GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Department has received a federal license to use a miniature helicopter drone as a law enforcement tool across 16 northeastern North Dakota counties.
 
     The drone carries a camera and no weapons. It weighs 2 pounds and can easily be carried in a squad car.
 
     Sheriff Bob Rost says the drone could have many uses:  finding lost children or escaped prisoners, monitoring a hazardous material spill or checking flood conditions.
 
     The license is through the Federal Aviation Administration. The sheriff’s department will lease the drone from the University of North Dakota, which has an unmanned aircraft system program. The chief pilot will be Alan Frazier, an assistant professor of aviation who also serves as a part-time deputy.

In world and national news…

DUBLIN (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has met in Dublin with Russia’s foreign minister and the U.N. peace envoy to Syria. The meeting is raising hopes that Washington and Moscow might be able to unite behind a strategy for ending the Syrian civil war, as the regime of Bashar Assad grows weaker. Russia has been an ally of Assad.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the U.S. has serious concerns that Syria is thinking of using its chemical weapons. Speaking to reporters in Washington Thursday, Panetta didn’t say what new intelligence information he has about the intentions of President Bashar Assad. But the defense secretary said it’s enough to raise U.S. fears that the use of chemical weapons “is being considered” by Syria.
 
     CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s army has sealed off the presidential palace in Cairo with barbed wire and armored vehicles. But despite an order to protesters that they leave the area, several dozen opponents of President Mohammed Morsi continued to demonstrate across the street from the palace. And organizers are calling for a larger evening rally. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Morsi supporters withdrew from the area after an overnight sit-in.
 
     GUATEMALA CITY (AP) – Police in the Central American country of Belize expect software company founder John McAfee (MAK’-uh-fee) to be flown back there soon for questioning in the death of a fellow American expatriate. McAfee’s request for asylum in Guatemala was rejected Thursday.
 
     ATLANTA (AP) – Carbon monoxide detectors will be placed in an Atlanta elementary school where dozens of students were sickened after two workers failed to reopen a boiler valve. School officials say Georgia law does not require the detectors in schools. But the Atlanta Public Schools are planning to install them district-wide. Meanwhile, administrators say it appears the leak was caused by human error, not an equipment failure.
