Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is offering a grief support group for anyone who is grieving the loss of someone important to them, whether the loss is recent or from years past. The group will meet at 7:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church, 407 2nd Ave NE in Jamestown beginning on Thursday, April 7, 2016 and will run for 6 weeks.
On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JAGST member Diane Witzeg said in his book, “Understanding Your Grief,” internationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, Dr. Alan Wolfelt states, “You can benefit from a connectedness that comes from people who have also had a death in their lives. Support groups, where people come together and share the common bond of experience, can be invaluable in helping you and your grief and supporting your need to mourn long after the event of the death”
She added that in our fast paced society, people who have had a significant loss are often expected to be ‘over it’ in a matter of a few weeks. They may even expect this of themselves. In reality, it may take years for someone to work through his or her grief. The support group experience allows individuals to express grief in their own unique way and on their own unique timetable.
She pointed out that the group is free of charge, however, participants are asked to register to ensure that enough materials are available. Participants should plan to attend all six sessions. For more information, or to register, please call Diane at 320-4915 or Eileen at 269-4521 (evenings).

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A jury has acquitted a West Fargo man accused of assaulting a special needs teenager while working as a caregiver in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Ishmael Sesay (SEE’-say) was charged in Clay County, Minnesota with misdemeanor assault. Prosecutors say he punched the girl in the face after she ran away from her south Moorhead apartment last September.
The 15-year-old girl suffers from autism and requires 24-hour supervision. She told jurors that Sesay grabbed her by the arms and punched her in the left eye, causing a concussion.
Defense attorney Lindsey Haugen says Sesay was acting in self-defense and “justice was done” with the not guilty verdict.
Assistant Clay County Attorney Mike Leeser says it’s not the result he was hoping for, but says he respects the jury’s decision.

Police said the 15-year-old driver of the SUV thought she had her foot on the brake but hit the accelerator instead. She was cited for failure to have the vehicle under control.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve is keeping short-term interest rates unchanged. Citing the risks posed by global economic and financial turmoil, Fed policymakers now envision making just two rate hikes this year, rather than the four previously estimated. The central bank raised the short-term rate it controls in December from nearly zero to a range between 0.25 percent and 0.5 percent. In their statement, Fed policymakers also expressed a slightly more optimistic view of the unemployment rate for the next few years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Appeals court judge Merrick Garland it’s a judge’s job to set aside personal preferences to “follow the law, not make it.” And that’s the kind of jurist he says he’s tried to be for the last 18 years. President Barack Obama nominated Garland to the Supreme Court Wednesday, calling him “one of America’s sharpest legal minds” and deserving of a full hearing and Senate confirmation vote. However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says vacant high court seat should not be filled until a new president is elected, and Garland’s nomination will not be considered.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Advocacy groups on opposite sides of the political spectrum are taking issue with President Barack Obama’s nominee to serve on the Supreme Court. The National Republican Senatorial Committee describes federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland as a “liberal, an activist and one of Obama’s most reliable allies in the judicial system.” But Democracy for America, a group started by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, says it’s deeply disappointed that Obama didn’t add “another progressive woman of color to the court,” adding that Obama’s selection of Garland looks like appeasement.
BRUSSELS (AP) – Italy’s coast guard says about 2,500 people have been rescued in more than a dozen operations in the Straits of Sicily over the past two days. Three bodies also have been recovered. After a recent lull in crossings to Italy from Libya, the numbers mark a dramatic increase. In years past, warmer weather and calmer seas in spring and summer have often led to a surge in smuggling activity from north Africa toward Italy.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Don’t expect Michelle Obama to follow the path of Hillary Clinton. Speaking at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas Wednesday, the first lady broke into song when reflecting on seven years in the White House, softly crooning the Boyz II Men hit “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.” She says she’ll miss interacting with people as first lady, but she has no presidential aspirations.
