Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called about 9:38 a.m., Wednesday to the Hong Kong Buffet, at 605 25th Street Southwest in Jamestown, to a kitchen fire.
Jamestown City Fire Chief Jim Reuther says when the units arrived at the unoccupied building, smoke was coming from the roof vents.
The ladder truck accessed the roof vents.
Fire fighters broke open the front and rear doors, for access.
When they gained entry they discovered the small fire in the kitchen area.
He says the heat detecting system, which sprays a dry chemical, was activated but was unable to contain the fire.
The cause is listed as the cooking unit being left turned on.
MDU and Otter Tail arrived at the scene to attend to the utilities.
Chief Reuther says there was minimal fire damage, but extensive smoke damage to the interior of the building.
No injuries reported.
The units cleared the scene at 10:27 a.m.
There were six city fire units and 26 city fire fighters on the scene.
Jamestown (CSi) The North Dakota Aeronautics Commission has released January boarding numbers.
The report says boardings at Jamestown Regional Airport in January 2016 were 922, compared to 584 in January 2015, up almost 58-percent.
January boardings this year at the eight commercial service airports in North Dakota were down about 15 percent from 2015.
The State Aeronautics Commission says almost 85,300 passengers boarded planes last month. The January totals for 2015 were nearly 101,000.
The airports in Devils Lake and Jamestown were the only two commercial service airports in the state to see an increase last month over 2015.
In the oil boomtown of Williston, boardings dropped from over 10,600 to about 5,800, reflecting the slump in the oil industry. In Minot, the number of people boarding planes dropped from over 15,900 to about 11,900.

The county’s share will be 25 percent, and the project adds security cameras in some of the halls near the courtrooms and adds bulletproof panels to the desk areas of court clerks and reporters in the courtroom. The judge’s bench is already protected by bulletproof panels.
CARRINGTON, N.D. (AP) – Voters in Carrington have rejected a proposal to build a new $23.5 million elementary school.
Unofficial results from Tuesday’s election show about 49 percent of the 1,432 voters opposed to the proposed facility. The measure needed 60 percent approval to pass.
The proposal would have raised annual property taxes about $320 per $100,000 worth of home value.
Turnout for the election was high. As a comparison, school board elections in the district typically draw about 120 voters.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors are recommending that an Ohio man serve about three years in prison for pressuring a 16-year-old North Dakota girl he had met online to send him sexually explicit photos.
Twenty-one-year-old Jesse Goble of Dayton, Ohio, pleaded guilty last fall to two felony sex crime charges that each carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
District Judge Doug Mattson is reviewing the plea deal before sentencing Goble.
Goble was 19 when authorities say he pressured the Minot girl for the photos and also threatened to send the photos to other people if the girl didn’t send him more pictures.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors say law officers who handled the case of a man accused in a drug-fueled slaying on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation did not trample on the suspect’s rights.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Volk has asked a federal judge to throw out a defense request to bar key evidence at Marcel Chase’s trial in May.
Chase is accused of killing Toby Young Bear with his bare hands during a meth-fueled fight in December 2014, then stashing the body in the trunk of his mother’s car. He could face up to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.
Defense attorney Paul Myerchin contends police violated Chase’s rights in gathering evidence and questioning him without an attorney present. Volk disputes that.
A March 18 hearing is scheduled on the disputed evidence.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Hundreds of blue light bulbs that Fargo police offered to residents who want to honor an officer killed on the job were snatched up in half an hour.
The department had a supply of about 500 bulbs. Lines formed outside police headquarters on Tuesday morning as people showed up to pick up a bulb and drop off a donation.
The effort is to honor Officer Jason Moszer, who died Thursday of a gunshot wound during a standoff with a suspect at a house near downtown Fargo. He left behind a wife and two children.
Police have more of the blue bulbs on order and will announce when the shipment arrives on the department’s website. All of the proceeds are going to Moszer’s family.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A benefit fund has been set up for the family of a man suspected in the shooting death of a Fargo police officer.
Officer Jason Moszer died Thursday of a single gunshot wound during a standoff at a house near downtown Fargo. The suspect, Marcus Schumacher, was found dead in the house but police have not said whether he died of a police bullet or shot himself.
Officers were initially sent to the scene after Schumacher’s son called dispatchers and said Schumacher had fired a gun at his mother, Schumacher’s wife.
A group coordinating the fundraising effort says it’s also accepting donations of gift cards and non-perishable food items.
Fargo Police Chief Dave Todd has urged community members to reach out the Schumachers, saying it’s “the right thing to do.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler (KEER’-stun BAYZ’-lur) has promoted Laurie Matzke to assistant superintendent, where she will oversee Department of Public Instruction programs that support students, teachers, and multicultural education.
Matzke has been manager of the department’s student support and innovation division and its director of federal title programs, which administers aid to school districts.
Matzke joined the Department of Public Instruction in 1993 as its coordinator for migrant and homeless education.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators will allow owners of some low-volume oil wells to suspend production for up to a year, while awaiting a rebound in crude prices.
The state Industrial Commission approved the waivers for so-called marginal wells on Tuesday.
Companies are supposed to plug and reclaim a well when there is no more oil being pumped. State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says some of the low-producing oil wells aren’t economically feasible to operate with depressed crude prices.
Marginal wells also are called stripper wells. Data show there are about 3,100 of them in the state. They are broadly defined in North Dakota as those that produce fewer than 40 barrels of crude daily.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators are proposing new rules aimed at the oil industry.
A slate of proposed rules were unveiled Tuesday, including a requirement that would require bonding for all crude and saltwater pipelines. Another new rule would require berms of at least a foot high to be built around a well site.
Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says public hearings on the proposals will be done in several cities in April. He says October is the earliest the rules could be in place.
North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says his group has not had a chance to study the proposals. He says subjecting the oil industry to more rules adds costs to companies that already are dealing with depressed crude prices.
In sports…
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota men’s hockey team has slipped in the national polls after being swept at Denver over the weekend.
UND is down two spots to No. 4 in both the USCHO.com poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll.
Quinnipiac continues to top both polls, followed by Boston College and St. Cloud State. Defending national champion Providence rounds out the top five in both polls.

VIKES STADIUM…
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The new home of the Minnesota Vikings is about 90 percent done. Work on U.S. Bank Stadium is headed toward completion this summer. A grand opening of the $1 billion-plus project scheduled for the first week in August. The Vikings locker room will be put together in the coming weeks. The five, large pivoting glass doors on the building’s front will be tested in April. The artificial turf will be laid in May.
NBA…
UNDATED (AP) – The Memphis Grizzlies are sending swingman Courtney Lee to the Hornets for P.J. Hairston. Memphis will also receive Chris Andersen from the Heat, who will get guard Brian Roberts from Charlotte and two draft picks in the three-team deal. The swap gives the Grizzlies frontcourt depth after losing Marc Gasol (gah-SAHL’) to injury.
DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Pistons have made a move as they try to land an Eastern Conference playoff berth, acquiring forward Tobias Harris from Orlando for guard Brandon Jennings and forward Ersan Ilyasova (eel-yah-SOH’-vah). Harris is averaging 13.7 points per game this season, down from 17.1 last year. Ilyasova is scoring 11.3 points a game, while Jennings is averaging 6.8 points and 18 minutes.
NFL…
NFL-HALL OF FAME GAME
CANTON, Ohio (AP) – The Pro Football Hall of Fame game for this year is set for Aug. 7 with the Colts facing the Packers. The pairing makes sense as former Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre (fahrv) is being inducted this summer, along with former Colts coach Tony Dungy (DUHN’-jee) and former Indy receiver Marvin Harrison.
NEW YORK (AP) – Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL’) has dealt with several headaches while serving as NFL commissioner, but paying bills isn’t a problem.
According to the NFL’s tax filing, Goodell earned just over $34 million for 2014. That total is actually down a bit from 2013 when he was paid $35 million. Goodell collected $44.2 million in 2012, including $9 million in bonuses and deferred pension.
Goodell endured a difficult season for the league and the commissioner in 2014, although his financial package included a $26.5 million bonus negotiated the previous year.
ROUSEY…
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Ronda Rousey says she had dark thoughts after she lost her bantamweight title to Holly Holm in Australia.
Rousey said Tuesday during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she thought to herself, in her words, “I’m nothing,” after her first defeat since joining UFC.
Rousey told DeGeneres that her relationship with UFC heavyweight Travis Browne helped get her through.
She says she decided she needed to stay alive and wanted to have his babies.
Rousey won her first 12 mixed martial arts fights before stepping into the cage against Holm in Melbourne last November. Holm finished her off with a devastating kick to the head.
Rousey told DeGeneres that she wants to be the one to beat Holm.
WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW
NEW YORK (AP) – A German shorthaired pointer called CJ has won best in show at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club at Madison Square Garden. The 3-year-old beat out more than 2,700 other entries in 199 breeds and varieties to win the nation’s most prestigious dog competition.
A borzoi called Lucy finished second.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s a debate that pits digital privacy against national security interests. Apple says it’ll fight a federal magistrate’s order to help the FBI break into an encrypted iPhone that belonged to one of the San Bernardino, California shooters. Apple says forcing it to develop such software would essentially put millions of iPhones at risk. The phone was issued by Syed Farook’s employer, San Bernardino County, and it’s configured to erase data after 10 consecutive unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.
OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea (AP) – North Korea is likely to view the flying of U.S. military planes over South Korea as a threat as a standoff between the Koreas continues to fester. Earlier today, U.S. fighter jets flew over South Korea in a clear show of force against the North. The U.S. often sends powerful warplanes to South Korea in times of tension with the North. Last month it sent a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber to South Korea after the North defiantly conducted its fourth nuclear test.
NEW YORK (AP) – The aerospace firm Bombardier says it’s cutting about 7,000 jobs, or about 11 percent of its total workforce. The company says the jobs eliminated will include production and non-production employees, with 2,000 of the positions being contractors. At the same time, the company says it will hire for other positions in growing areas of its business. Bombardier has 64,000 employees globally.
YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) – A new survey finds that although increasing numbers of Americans expect to work well past the traditional retirement age, they often leave the job early. The University of Michigan’s Health and Retirement Study says more than one-third of the people surveyed didn’t reach the retirement age they set when they were 58. A lot of times it was because of health issues, family issues, layoffs and business closings.
