Jamestown (CSi) The 38th Annual Runnin O’ the Green Saturday drew a large crowd in spite of the cool weather.
Founder of the run, Larry O’ Knoblich is reported as saying they ran out of registration forms with the actual number of participants to be determined later, but it’s estimated at 2100.
In 2015 there were 2,700 registered, and the number for 2016 was anticipated to be around 3,000.
The run started at 2-p.m., from the Frontier Fort area, with a slightly smaller crowd. Runners were antzy to get going as a brisk wind made standing on top of the hill at bit chilly. It appears many participants opted to head directly downtown to get a spot indoors. As the temp rose, the various venues, such as the Elks, had their outdoor areas packed.
Jamestown Police Chief, Scott Edinger says, in the first hour, there was an arrest for public urination and two for open containers of alcohol in public.
Preliminary reports show 49 arrests for unlawful possession, three for public urination, two for fornicating in public and one for littering.
Edinger said almost all police officers were on duty, in rotation, in squad cars, some on foot, and were joined by Stutsman County Sheriff’s units.
The Jamestown City Fire Department was a temporary location of municipal court, where violators could pay fines or request a court appearance.
The 2016 Runnin O’ The Green was recorded by the CSi Cable Green Team, at various locations in Jamestown.
During the event, live cams on CSi 10 and Csi 67 showed viewers the start line, and runners downtown from the CSi Roof Cam, atop Historic Franklin School, at the CSi Technology Center.

Valley City (CSi) The Bernatello’s Foods company has purchased the rights to the Pizza Corner’s frozen pizza’s in Valley City.
The News release from Bernatello’s Food’s in Minnesota said:
“Bernatello’s foods is proud to announce it has reached an agreement to purchase the rights to the Pizza Corner brand of frozen pizza effective May 20th, 2016.
Bernatello’s, like Pizza Corner, is a family-owned and operated business based in Maple Lake, MN with additional production operations in Kaukauna, WI.
The relationship between Bernatello’s and Pizza Corner is a warm one that began several years ago. At that time, the prospect of Pizza Corner co-packing a 14” pizza for our Minnesota based company was discussed. That opportunity did not materialize, however, due to lack of production space at Pizza Corner’s Valley City, ND plant.
This initial conversation eventually led to an agreement in which Bernatello’s would co-pack for Pizza Corner. This partnership in turn, led to the acquisition of the North Dakota company.
Bill Ramsay, owner and President of Bernatello’s Foods said “Dave Zubrod, the founder of the Pizza Corner brand of frozen pizzas has built not only a quality brand, but a brand that has become an institution in North Dakota and the region. Bernatello’s Foods is committed to maintaining this high quality while expanding the scope of Pizza Corner’s outstanding product. The company intends to use its extensive distribution network to continue growing the brand and its popularity in a larger geographic area.
The current sales and delivery side of the Pizza Corner business will be expanded by adding a bigger fleet of trucks, concentrating routes and adding sales professionals and merchandising experts throughout the Dakotas.
Capacity issues at the Valley City facility will lead to Pizza Corner production being relocated to other Bernatello’s facilities with an opportunity for many Pizza Corner employees to remain with the company. The quality and ingredients that have made Pizza Corner brand so successful will remain the same.
Pizza Corner owner Dave Zubrod says “the timing was right, the fit was right and Bernatello’s outstanding dedication to excellence offers a home to a product I’ve spent my life developing over many years. My employees have become like family, making this decision a challenge, but I know in my heart this is the best decision for the Pizza Corner brand; Bernatello’s is the company that can take this brand to a national level while still respecting where it all started.”
The acquisition of Pizza Corner brand of frozen pizzas does not include Pizza Corner restaurant in Valley City, ND. The customers of Valley City and the surrounding area will be pleased to know that Dave Zubrod will manage and consult with the Valley City, ND Bernatello’s distribution center and will continue to own and operate the establishment where the Pizza Corner Brand originated.”
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The widow of a slain Fargo police officer and one of her children got a surprise from law officers in western North Dakota while they were in Dickinson for a gymnastics tournament over the weekend.
Officers and first responders from Dickinson, Williston and several counties presented flowers to Rachel Moszer and her daughter Jolee, who was competing at the tournament.
Some officers stayed and watched the girl compete.
Thirty-three-year-old Fargo Officer Jason Moszer was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance Feb. 10. The six-year veteran of the force was the first Fargo officer to die in the line of duty in more than 130 years.

The officer drove himself to the hospital to be checked out and was reported in good condition.
The suspect was apprehended in Fargo after an hour-long chase.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A woman injured in a car crash is crediting two brain injury programs funded by the North Dakota Department of Human Services for helping her get back on track.
Kjerstine Hauge was unable to continue working as a nurse after the 2011 crash and is relearning many work-related skills through the state-funded programs.
The programs are offered by Community Options, which helps low-income people who need employment services.
One program helps people with brain injuries improve soft skills such as communication and time management. The other helps clients build resumes, apply for jobs and practice for interviews.
The Department of Human Services recently announced budget cuts that will impact the programs’ number of new clients. The department’s Stacie Dailey says no current slots will be lost, but the programs’ expansion will be impacted.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – More than 7,500 North Dakota residents are among the new customers who signed up for subsidized private health insurance through the federal marketplace created by President Obama’s signature health care law.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says the marketplaces nationwide signed up nearly 4.9 million new customers for 2016 coverage during the third open enrollment period, which ended on Jan. 31.
The health care law requires nearly every American to have health insurance. About 21,600 North Dakota residents signed up for private insurance or renewed coverage.
A federal report shows the average tax credit for North Dakota customers is $262 per month, and the average premium after tax credits is $142 per month.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A nonprofit based in the Netherlands is seeking to honor a World War II soldier who grew up in Williston and is buried overseas by putting his photo on his grave.
Pvt. Neil McIntyre is buried at the American War Cemetery Margraten in the Netherlands. Members of the Foundation United Adopters American War Graves are preparing to put photos of soldiers buried at the cemetery on their graves.
The event takes place in May, and last spring it drew about 25,000 Dutch visitors. Photos were obtained in 2015 for roughly one-third of the more than 10,000 buried soldiers, but not for McIntyre.
Teresa Hirsch, who volunteers from Indianapolis for the nonprofit, says a scarcity of information on McIntyre has made it challenging to find a photo of him.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Agriculture Department is getting $2.5 million from the federal government for grants to help promote specialty crops.

Groups and individuals interested in obtaining a grant must apply by May 11.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A fundraising effort to keep Dakota the duckbilled dinosaur’s permanent digs in Bismarck likely won’t begin until late this year or early 2017.
The North Dakota Legislature last year agreed to pay $1.5 million in taxpayer money to buy the rare mummified dinosaur. But lawmakers said another $1.5 million must be raised from private funds.
Marlo Sveen is part of the fundraising effort . He says, the time isn’t right to solicit major donations due to North Dakota’s economic slowdown from slumping oil activity.
Tyler Lyson (LEE’-suhn) discovered the dinosaur on his uncle’s ranch in southwestern North Dakota in 1999.
Researchers say Dakota is one of the most important dinosaur discoveries in recent times.
