Jamestown (CSi) Stutsman County Sheriff, Chad Kaiser has terminated a Stutsman County deputy who filed a complaint about improper use of vehicles in the sheriff’s office.
Kaiser said he terminated Elizabeth Kapp from her position as a sheriff’s office deputy last week. Kapp had been employed there since 2003 and was promoted to sergeant in 2012
Mark Friese, Kapp’s attorney, said his client intended to proceed with a grievance or court case to reverse the termination.
Kaiser said Kapp had been subject to a performance improvement plan since November after receiving an unsatisfactory performance review and a letter of reprimand.
Kapp filed a written complaint in January that the staff of the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office was improperly using office vehicles for personal use after verbally reporting it to Kaiser in October.
On February. 15th, Stutsman County state’s attorney, Fritz Fremgen,declined to pursue the complaint, saying “the extent of the use is not something I would pursue criminally when there is an employer positioned to take negative personnel action.”
Kaiser says an internal investigation into the same incident by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office is complete, but the results were not released pending the completion of a parallel investigation by the Jamestown Police Department.
Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Park Board tabled action Tuesday on a proposal to phase in a rate increase for lot rent for cabins at Jamestown Reservoir.
The Bureau of Reclamation requires the annual lot rents to increase by more than 100 percent for both seasonal and year-round users. The county Park Board had requested the increase be phased in over five years. The Bureau of Reclamation said the increase must be implemented in no less than three years.
The Park Board has returned a $10,000 grant to the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District. The local share for the grant was $42,000, and the county had no projects it could fund and complete by the April 30 deadline.
Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Commission has approved early voting to begin May 30, 2016, for the June 14, 2016 Primary Election.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A Griggs County Central High School gym teacher has been sentenced to 20 hours of community service for supplying alcohol to underage people.
Authorities said 59-year-old Nancy Paintner gave alcohol to an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old at a University of North Dakota hockey game last October.

Jamestown (CSi) The 38th Annual, 2016 Runnin O’ The Green take place on Saturday March 19th.
Runners travel the pre-set route on the streets of Jamestown stopping at participating bars.

This year’s run is dedicated to the memories of three event supporters who have passed away, Gene Keller, Wayne Deery and Jay Thompson are presented with a coat of arms on the event posters.
Run founder Larry Knoblich, recently told the city council that about 3,000 participants are expected with good weather.
He said that there are no other conflicting St. Patrick’s Day events scheduled that day in the region.
Registration at Frontier Fort starts at 11 a.m., with six heats starting at 2-p.m. in 10-minute increments.
The participants who actually run are in the first heat. The first 15 men and 10 women who finish the course first are timed.
The run concludes at Shady’s Restaurant & Lounge, at the Gladstone Inn & Suites.
Participants follow a map to visit 10 bars where they purchase a beverage ….that doesn’t have to be alcohol. Their name tag is stamped at each location. Participants must be 21 years or older and carry a photo ID.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot police say a 28-year-old man has been found fatally stabbed in an apartment.
The Minot Police Department said in a news release that it responded to a report of a stabbing around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday. Upon arrival at the residence, police say the man was found dead. Police say a 19-year-old man had a stab wound to his hand and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to police, a third man at the scene was taken into custody as a person of interest. Police say he was later arrested for murder, aggravated assault and terrorizing, and was taken to Ward County Jail.
An investigation is ongoing.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man accused in the robbery of a Fargo convenience store a year ago has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Authorities say 20-year-old Jacob Black and another man showed a pistol during last March’s robbery. They got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Black pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery.
The second man accused in the holdup, 21-year-old Mifti Dire, pleaded guilty last summer and was sentenced to a year in the county jail.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Department of Health says it has been notified of an estimated 10,000-gallon gasoline release near Alexander.
The department says the leak resulted from a structural failure of a 20,000 gallon underground storage tank at Patriot Fuels LLC. The release occurred on Thursday.
Officials say initial estimates indicate approximately 10,000 gallons of premium gasoline were released. Health Department personnel are at the site and are continuing to monitor the situation
RUGBY, N.D. (AP) – Amtrak is eliminating its station agent in Rugby effective June 1.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari says the change is being made because of the high volume of train passengers obtaining tickets online.
The Rugby agent is being moved to the Minot station. Magliari says a caretaker will open and close the Rugby station.
Amtrak’s Empire Builder line between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest passes through eastern and northern North Dakota. There are stations in Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Rugby, Minot, Stanley and Williston. Former Rugby Mayor Dale Niewoehner (NEE’-wahn-ur) says stations in Stanley, Devils Lake and Grand Forks also have no ticket agent.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo’s Planning Commission has approved a zoning change for a proposed large-scale apartment complex that some homeowners oppose.
Bison Village would be a 400-unit apartment complex in north Fargo. Many area homeowners don’t want apartments geared toward college students in the area because they fear it could lead to traffic and other problems.
The Planning Commission on Tuesday voted 7-2 to recommend a zoning change that would clear the way for Bison Village. The City Commission will have the final say.
BELCOURT, N.D. (AP) – An operation targeting fugitives on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in northern North Dakota resulted in 18 arrests.
The U.S. Marshal’s Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs conducted Operation Northern Lights Tuesday with help from other federal, state and local agencies.
A similar sweep on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation in December resulted in 22 arrests. Turtle Mountain Tribal Chairman Richard McCloud took note of the success and suggested an operation be done on his reservation.
Tribal lands often are viewed as a safe haven by people wanted on state or local warrants. State authorities can arrest only non-enrolled members on a reservation, and not all tribal governments have extradition laws in place to transfer an enrolled member to a state or local jurisdiction that holds an active warrant.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – About 275 airmen and four B-52 bombers from Minot Air Force Base that have spent six months in Guam are returning home.

The deployment was part of a bomber rotation maintained by the U.S. Pacific Command.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota legislative committee may restrict so-called angel funds from being used for out-of-state companies. The Legislature’s interim Political Subdivision Taxation Committee began reviewing a draft measure that would provide more oversight of the funds that are designed to provide investment dollars for fledgling companies through tax credits.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot residents have voted to give themselves the authority to change the makeup of the City Council.
Voters approved changing the city’s home rule charter in a special election Tuesday. One approved measure includes language to give the city power to change its structure of government, while another outlines how to change the form of government.
Changes could be proposed by the City Council or by petition, and a simple majority would be needed in an election to make a change.
A citizens group urging residents to approve the measures submitted petitions in October to reduce the council’s size from 14 members elected from wards to five members elected at large. But the home rule charter didn’t include a procedure for changing the council’s structure.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A U.S. Senator from New York will be a featured speaker at the North Dakota Democratic convention next month.
Kirsten Gillibrand will give the convention’s keynote speech on April 2. The convention is being held at the Bismarck Civic Center March 31 to April 2.
Gillibrand is an attorney. She was elected to the U.S. House in November 2006. She was appointed to the Senate in January 2009 to fill the seat left open when President Barack Obama appointed then-Sen. Hillary Clinton’s appointment to secretary of state.
North Dakota Republicans are holding their convention April 1-3 in Fargo. The party has not announced featured speakers.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A person with knowledge of the deal says the Minnesota Timberwolves are planning to call up forward Greg Smith from the D-League for a 10-day contract.

MIAMI (AP) – Donald Trump says his presidential candidacy is a “movement,” and that he is expanding the Republican Party even as many of its leaders have distanced themselves from him. Trump won in seven states during Super Tuesday. Ted Cruz won in three states, including his home state of Oklahoma, while Marco Rubio chalked up his first victory of the campaign, in Minnesota.
MIAMI (AP) – Democrat Hillary Clinton, who won seven states, tried to turn Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan on its head. Clinton told supporters the country instead must be made ”whole again.” Fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders picked up victories in four states, including his home state of Vermont. He assured supporters he’d take his fight to “every one” of the remaining contests.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) – The U.N. Security Council votes today on a resolution that would impose the toughest sanctions on North Korea in two decades. The U.S. and North Korea’s traditional ally China spent seven weeks negotiating the new sanctions in response to Pyongyang’s latest nuclear test and rocket launch. Both are in defiance of previous council resolutions.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A Saudi-led bloc of six Gulf Arab nations has formally branded Hezbollah a terrorist organization. The move by the Gulf Cooperation Council ramps up the pressure on the Lebanese militant group fighting on the side of President Bashar Assad in Syria.
BAYONNE, N.J. (AP) – A cruise ship previously battered by a major storm in the Atlantic Ocean has returned to port early, cutting short another cruise.
