Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Police Department on Thursday evening about 10:50 p.m. was called to 113 Second Avenue Southwest<\/p>\n
The Shift Commander, Lt. Justin Blinsky says police two Jamestown men age 18- and 20 accessed the rooftop of the building by a back staircase, later telling police they were going to take photographs.<\/p>\n
A 56 year old male occupant of the second floor apartment confronted the two men threatening them with harm, brandishing a weapon.<\/p>\n
The suspect \u00a0allowed them to leave and they called police.<\/p>\n
Police then executed a search warrant for the apartment and found weapons, one of which was the weapon the man brandished, along with a quantity of drugs. Lt. Blinsky says the suspect offered no resistance when taken into custody.<\/p>\n
The suspected was arrested on charges of terrorism, felonious restraint, and he faces a drug charge.<\/p>\n
Police cleared the scene about 9:30 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
Lt. Blinsky says the incident in no way involved the business on the street level of the building.<\/p>\n
He said the Stutsman County State\u2019s Attorney is putting together the police information, to draw up formal charges.<\/p>\n
He adds that the police investigation is continuing.<\/p>\n

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE BUSINESS:<\/p>\n
Shawn Gaddie, with AE2S, gave an update on the Stormwater Utility Feasibility Study followed by a committee recommendation on whether to continue with the establishment of a Storm Water Utility for the City of Jamestown, and if so, to establish a timeline and procedure for enactment.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Gaddie gathered input from the committee on his past presentations, including the feasibility study.<\/p>\n
Council Member Buchanan said the feedback he’s been getting from citizens is the cost of the project.<\/p>\n
Mayor Andersen said she\u2019s in favor of the option, that establishes a more equitable distribution of fees, through either annual property taxes or monthly fees on utility bills, and is in line with what other communities are doing.<\/p>\n
She added a decision needs to be made soon, as 2017 city budgeting is coming soon, and to be able to negotiate contracts.<\/p>\n
The committee recommends the city work with AE2S in developing a contract to engage the firm.<\/p>\n
The committee recommends authorizing the City Administrator to submit an application to the ND State Dept of Health for a Drinking Water SRF Loan for the Cavendish Tower Interior Recoating Project.<\/p>\n

JRMC is annexed into the city, with the two private properties, the ACC and the roadway to be annexed into the city.<\/p>\n The Anne Carlsen Center, and Jamestown Regional Medical Center are also along the route.<\/p>\n The committee recommends Interstate Engineering proceed with the design phase.<\/p>\n Initial financing options to be considered before a Special Assessment District is established, other funding means.<\/p>\n The committee recommends to place on the City Council agenda without recommendation the report on the cost of infrastructure for the public improvements on Tax Increment Financing District No. 2014-1 related to Menards, and to direct the City Administrator to certify the amounts.<\/p>\n Discussion then concerned filling the City Engineer\u2019s position. Deputy Auditor Jay Svenum said three individuals applied, two were accepted for interviews and one accepted another position, one did not meet the city needs.<\/p>\n The committee recommends expanding the search.<\/p>\n He said the city has been working well with Interstate Engineering with their services.<\/p>\n The committee will instruct engineering and the street department to make a recommendation on parking along 10th<\/sup> Street Southeast in the area of Budget Auto sales, possibly reducing the time allowed for parking to one hour.<\/p>\n The committee considered the report from Interstate Engineering, Inc., regarding the drainage in the alley adjacent to the Jamestown Youth For Christ building located at 2nd <\/span>St. and 4th <\/span>Ave. SE<\/p>\n The Committee discussed engineering milling the alley out, and crown with an overlay, to allow drainage down the center.<\/p>\n Cost estimates will be considered and presented.<\/p>\n Troy Gunderson asked that the property not be assessed for the costs.<\/p>\n The committee recommends obtaining a cost estimate for the next City Council meeting on June 28th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n The meeting was shown live on CSi 67 followed by replays.<\/p>\n \u3000<\/p>\n Jamestown (CSi) A motorcycle ride to benefit the Community Action, Region Six, Weekend Backpack for Kids, will be on July 24, 2016.<\/p>\n The event at Stutsman Harley Davidson in Jamestown has registration at 10-a.m., kickstands up at 12:30-p.m.<\/p>\n The cost is $15 per driver, and $10 for a passenger.<\/p>\n Burgers and Brats will be served following the ride.<\/p>\n Sponsored by Jamestown HOG Chapter 1955.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fort Ransom (CSi) Fort Ransom State Park\u2019s Sodbuster Days will be held July 9-10, 2016.<\/p>\n The two-day event starts each day at 10 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n There are dozens of “Turn of the Century” demonstrations both days along with live music.

That’s down 5 percent from a year ago, but well above the all-time low of 590,000 birds in 1959.<\/p>\n That means another good fall for duck hunting is likely in store.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Highway Patrol says the crash happened about 4:15 p.m. Thursday, about 6 miles west of Glen Ullin. The driver lost control of the sport utility vehicle and it went in the ditch and rolled.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The male driver was alone in the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities did not immediately release his name or age.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Michael Simmons Sr., of Butte, Montana, pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this year to sexual exploitation of minors.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say the 55-year-old Simons took sexually explicit photographs and videos of minors under the age of 10. The camera he used was discovered by a relative who was visiting him in Butte.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland also ordered Simmons to serve a lifetime of supervised release when he finishes his prison sentence.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0Since the beginning of the year, Bismarck police have taken 48 gun-related reports. That’s compared to 28 during the same time last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Deputy Chief Randy Ziegler says he suspects the increase stems from growing drug use in the community.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In one case, someone fired a gun into the air behind a supermarket. In a different situation, a man allegedly shot at strangers after they declined an offer for drugs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ziegler says criminality and drug abuse are “definitely linked.”<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakotans will vote in November on a constitutional amendment that supporters believe will bolster the rights of crime victims in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But opponents say changing the constitution to include the proposal will have unintended consequences. They say North Dakota already has laws that protect victims of violent crimes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The law is named after Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983. Her brother, Henry Nicholas, is bankrolling a national effort to expand the law into more states, including both Dakotas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Records show the California businessman has given more than $1 million toward the effort in North Dakota.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Secretary of State Al Jaeger says the State Canvassing Board is meeting Friday to certify the results of the June 14 election.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger says there were no races that triggered a recount, either automatically or by demand under state law.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson says 36-year-old Paul Green II, of Alger, Michigan, died at the scene near Ross on Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration says Green worked for Advance Energy, a Michigan-based drilling contractor. The company has declined comment to The Associated Press.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OSHA is investigating.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0Hoeven says Grand Forks is on the short list along with Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington, Travis Air Force Base in California and Joint Base McGuire-Dix in New Jersey.
\n\u00a0He says the Air Force expects to announce its preferred base next winter.
\n\u00a0The Grand Forks base was home to KC-135 tankers for 50 years before losing the mission during a round of military base closings and realignments. The last of those tankers left the base in 2010. The base is now home to a drone mission.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The tribe has tax commissions in both states. The commission on the South Dakota side has long collected a sales tax.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 Tribal Council voted unanimously in May to also enter into a tax-collection agreement with the state of North Dakota. The tribe will receive 80 percent of the revenue from the tax on the North Dakota portion of the reservation, and the state will receive 20 percent.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II acknowledged some tribal members aren’t happy. But he says the revenue could help with infrastructure needs and lead to economic development.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 5 percent tax goes into effect July 1.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Operation Dry Water runs Friday through Sunday. Enforcement Division Operations Supervisor Jackie Lundstrom says more Game and Fish officers will be taking to state waters, especially in high-traffic areas. They’ll be getting help from some county and federal agencies.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lundstrom says the goal is to raise awareness about the dangers of boating under the influence.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Operation Dry Water is coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cesar Hernandez tied a career-high with four hits and slumping Ryan Howard homered as part of his first multiple-hit game since April 29.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Phillies won for just the second time in 15 games. The Twins had won three in a row.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Providence point guard Kris Dunn with the fifth overall draft pick.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The selection pairs the best defensive guard in the draft with defensive mastermind Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota. Dunn said before the draft he wanted to play for Thibodeau and now it looks like he will get his wish.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The selection calls into question the future of Ricky Rubio with Minnesota. Both players are point guards and the Wolves may decide to trade the veteran Rubio to make room for Dunn.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Wolves didn’t think Dunn would be available at Number 5, but Boston’s surprising selection of Jaylen Brown at number 3 opened the door.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Sixers have used the first pick in the NBA draft to select the LSU forward, who averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists for the Tigers as a freshman last season.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Simmons led the SEC in rebounding and was third in points before being named a consensus All-American. He joins a team that went a league-worst 10-72 last season, one off the NBA record for losses.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Duke freshman forward Brandon Ingram was the second player selected, grabbed by the Los Angeles Lakers. Ingram averaged 17 points a game and hit 41 percent of his 3-point attempts for the Blue Devils.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boston used the first of their eight draft picks to take California small forward Jaylen Brown, making it 3-for-3 on freshmen selections in the draft. Brown scored 14.6 points a game for the Bears.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Phoenix went the international route with the fourth choice, getting seven-foot power forward Dragan Bender. The Croatian-born Bender spent last season playing in the Israeli Winner League, the Euroleague and Eurocup for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Pacers took Michigan forward Caris LeVert with the No. 20 pick and will send him to Brooklyn once the new salary cap takes effect.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In other NBA draft day transactions:
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – Orlando and Oklahoma City pulled off a deal that sends forward Serge Ibaka (ih-BAH’-kah) to the Magic. The Thunder received guard Victor Oladipo (oh-lah-DEE’-poh), forward Ersan Ilyasova (eel-yah-SOH’-vah) and the rights to Gonzaga forward Domantas Sabonis (sah-BOH’-nihs).
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – A person familiar with the situation says the Hornets have acquired shooting guard Marco Belinelli from the Kings for the 22nd pick in the NBA draft. Belinelli has averaged 9.5 points and 1.6 assists per game over nine NBA seasons. Syracuse forward Malachi Richardson was selected by Charlotte for Sacramento.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His agent tells The Associated Press that the Cleveland Cavaliers forward will not play in the Rio Games. The 31-year-old James was named MVP of the Finals after leading the Cavs past Golden State, ending Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 James has played in three Olympics and ranks as the team’s career leader in points and assists, while ranking second in rebounds.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The four-time league MVP is the latest big-name to withdraw from the American team, joining Stephen (STEH’-fehn) Curry, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, James Harden and Kawhi (kah-WY’) Leonard.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the flipside, a person with knowledge of the details tells the AP that Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony will head to Brazil for the Olympics, as will Toronto teammates Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BETHESDA, Md. (AP) – Jon Rahm owns a one-stroke lead over Jhonattan Vegas after one round of the PGA’s Quicken Loans Invitational near Washington, D.C. Rahm had a bogey-free round in firing a 7-under 64 at Congressional Country Club.

\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DUBLIN (AP) – Graeme McDowell has ruled himself out as a replacement for Rory McIlroy at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The former U.S. Open champ announced on Twitter that he is not available to the Ireland team. McIlroy opted out of the Olympics because of concerns about the Zika (ZEE’-kuh) virus.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But McDowell says he decided months ago that he would not play or travel outside of the United States while his wife was expecting their second child.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka (ah-zah-REN’-kuh) has withdrawn from Wimbledon because of a right knee injury.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was the same knee she hurt at the French Open, forcing her to retire during her first-round match. She hasn’t played since.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Azarenka was seeded sixth for the grass-court Grand Slam that starts Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AYRSHIRE, Scotland (AP) – Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump predicts Britain won’t be the last country to exit the European Union. Visiting Scotland the day after the British vote, Trump hailed the result, saying voters “took back their country.” Trump’s reason for his trip to Europe wasn’t politics, but rather to check on a pair of championship-level golf resorts he owns in Scotland.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Many of the nation’s for profit colleges could face difficulty operating and financial aid to their students could be threatened after an advisory panel to the Education Department voted to recommend the government sever ties with a group that accredits many of the schools. The final decision will be made by a senior official at the department in the next few months. The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools had been accused of lax oversight.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – President Barack Obama heads to California today to promote entrepreneurship at an international conference. Aspiring entrepreneurs from more than 140 countries are trying to connect their ideas with U.S. businesses, and they’re gathering at Stanford University. Obama notes that while “good ideas come from everywhere,” “access to capital and opportunity is not the same.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PHOENIX (AP) – A historic downtown Phoenix building that had a quick cameo in the opening scene of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic suspense flick, “Psycho,” will give way to a cluster of condos. The Arizona Republic reports that the City Council this week approved the $2.3 million sale of the Barrister Building. Crescent Bay Development Services LLC says it plans to maintain the brick facade of the 1915 building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
