Officials with Century Link are in the process of determining the extent of damage to an underground fiber cable that was cut around 10am\u00a0Thurs morning.<\/p>\n
A construction crew installing a fiber line appears to have cut the CenturyLink fiber near 27th Ave NE & 13th St NE (old #10) near the curve at the south end of the runway of Jamestown Regional Airport. \u00a0 This cut line has created a variety of local issues:<\/p>\n
- \n
- CenturyLink customers can call other local CenturyLink#s<\/li>\n
- CenturyLink customers can not call DCT customers.<\/li>\n
- Cell to Cell works<\/li>\n
- Cell to CenturyLink #s do not work<\/li>\n
- DCT customers can not call CenturyLink customers<\/li>\n
- Landline phones will experience long distance problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Please standby while repairs are being made.<\/p>\n
It appears that DCT customers can call other DCT local customers but are unable to call CenturyLink customers.<\/p>\n
Normal long distance for CenturyLink has been disrupted.<\/p>\n
Stutsman County Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist says:<\/p>\n
9-1-1 emergency<\/strong> calls\u00a0work and are being routed through State Radio and back to the LEC in Jamestown, and is accessible through cell phone and land lines, from any local exchange.<\/p>\n
He added that communications between some phone service subscribers may or may not be available, including land line and cell phones.<\/p>\n
Bergquist will have more information when available from Century Link officials.<\/p>\n
Internet services for CSi Broadband are working normally.<\/p>\n
The cuts are affecting residents in Stutsman, Barnes, LaMoure, and Dickey counties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The 3rd Annual Ride To Silence The Stigma is Sunday July 17, 2016 starting with registration at 11-a.m., to 12:30-p.m., at Stutsman Harley Davidson. Kickstands up at 12:30-p.m.<\/p>\n
The rides end with a meal at IDK Bar & Grill.<\/p>\n
$25 per person\/$10 for each additional rider, with the cost including the meal, bandana, patch and door prizw entries. (Free T-shirt while supplies last.)<\/p>\n
The three Major Sponsors include, “Stutsman Harley Davidson” “Newman Signs” and “IDK”<\/p>\n
The “Unite to Silence the Stigma” Jamestown Chapter is holding this bike run to help raise awareness and eliminate the stigma associated with mental health issues to prevent loss to suicide.<\/p>\n
On The Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, we were joined by the Chapter Chairperson Margo Haut, and chapter member Cindy Rodacker, of Jamestown<\/p>\n
Margo said, “Ride to Silence the Stigma” has been held for two consecutive years, in cooperation with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).<\/p>\n
The organization has been able to directly donate to AFSP 50% of these funds to the national organization for research with the other 50% returned and used in the community.<\/p>\n
Due to the lengthy and limited approval process, the committee found it difficult to have funds come back to Jamestown, resulting in the legal formation of Unite to Silence the Stigma (UTSS), a nonprofit corporation in Jamestown. UTSS will continue to donate money to AFSP.<\/p>\n
Cindy pointed out that donations can be made by making checks payable to: UTSS, PO Box 623, Jamestown, ND 58402.<\/p>\n
In 2014 ~ the ride donated over $10,000 to AFSP.<\/p>\n
She added that in 2014 over $10,000 were donated to the AFSP.<\/p>\n
In 2015 proceeds brought DC Faber and his post-trauma model to Jamestown<\/p>\n
In addition they sponsored a bench ad, donated to AFSP, and were able to promote The Out of Darkness walk.<\/p>\n
The money we raise this year will go toward education, awareness and future events in Jamestown that will bring mental health issues out of the darkness and into the light.<\/p>\n
Margo said that local mental health and suicide prevention resources are available through the South Central Human Service Center in Jamestown.<\/p>\n
She said that last year in North Dakota 133 live were lost in North Dakota to suicide, the ninth highest suicide rate in the nation.<\/p>\n
She said the veterans lives lost to suicide in the United States are about 24 per day, losing more lives than to combat deaths.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Powerball ticket sold in Bismarck is worth $150,000 in the latest drawing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State lottery officials say the ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball in Wednesday’s drawing to win the game’s $50,000 third prize, and an option that was purchased tripled the amount.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The winning numbers were 3, 15, 29, 54 and 57, and the Powerball was 10. The odds of winning the third prize in Powerball are 1 in about 913,000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The winner has about six months to claim the prize.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Powerball is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot is at $333 million for the next drawing, on Saturday.

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo woman is accused of threatening to shoot a neighbor and police officers during a night of drinking.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The incident happened Wednesday night on the city’s south side. Officers secured the neighborhood for several blocks before determining the woman was not a danger to herself of others.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The woman was arrested for terrorizing and preventing arrest. She has not yet been charged.<\/p>\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Health Department estimates legalizing marijuana for medical purposes would cost state taxpayers more than $3.5 million annually.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The agency released a memo on the costs this week, after supporters of a ballot initiative campaign said they had gathered enough signatures to put the issue to a statewide vote.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With voters’ approval, the initiative would make it legal for North Dakota residents to possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana for medical purposes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Health Department says legalizing pot for medical purposes would require an additional 32 full-time state employees to oversee the program.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo financial planner Rilie Ray Morgan is heading the campaign and believes the state’s figures are “grossly inflated.”
\n\u00a0<\/p>\nMINOT, N.D. (AP) – A Minot man accused of killing his ex-wife last November has been scheduled for trial late this year. Thirty-year-old Richie Wilder Jr. has pleaded not guilty to murder in the slaying of 30-year-old Angila Wilder, who was found dead in her home. All court records in the case have been sealed.

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston commissioners have decided to draft a new ordinance eliminating oil field crew camps in city limits.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Daniel Hovland last month issued a preliminary injunction preventing Williston from enforcing a July 1 shut-down deadline. His decision was based on a possible technical error by the City Commission when the group voted to approve the date.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 commission has voted to draft a new ordinance, on the advice of City Attorney Jordon Evert. Mayor Howard Klug says an official closure date should be in place by August.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oil industry officials say temporary housing is still needed despite the oil slump. But city officials maintain the construction of new apartments and hotels has caught up with population growth. Lawsuits are ongoing in federal and state court.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0UNDATED (AP) – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says Donald Trump’s impending vice presidential decision ultimately comes down to whether he wants a fellow “pirate” or, as Gingrich puts it, a “relatively stable, more normal person.” Gingrich, who was speaking via Facebook, is one of the three finalists Trump has been considering for his running mate. He later said he still hasn’t heard from Trump, but thinks that will happen this afternoon.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Some of Hillary Clinton’s potential running-mates were among those at a weekly luncheon of Senate Democrats that was also attended by Clinton Thursday. They include Senators Tim Kaine of Virginia, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Clinton’s former rival Bernie Sanders was also at the lunch. He endorsed Clinton in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BALTIMORE (AP) – Attorneys have delivered closing arguments in Baltimore, in the trial of the highest-ranking officer to be charged in the death of Freddie Gray. Prosecutors say Lt. Brian Rice was most responsible for following police procedures to fasten a prisoner in a seat belt. Instead, Gray was put face down in the van in handcuffs and leg shackles.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) – Schools that provide meals for students during summer months are finding that adults in the household need the meals as well to keep from going hungry. In Connecticut, the New Haven school district and a food bank recently began offering food for parents and guardians in response to anecdotal evidence, including stories of adults eating off children’s plates. The head of a nutrition program in a Boston office of the U.S. Agriculture Department says summer meal coordinators around the United States have reported similar concerns, and her office has been talking with them about how to address the need.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TROON, Scotland (AP) – Golfer Phil Mickelson says he feels “like crying” — even after one of the greatest rounds in major championship history. He shot an eight-under-par 63 in the opening round of the British Open Thursday. But on the 18th hole, his putt caught the edge of the cup and stayed out. Instead of becoming the first player to shoot a 62 at a major championship, Mickelson has to settle for being one of the 26 who’ve recorded a 63.
