\u00a0GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Blowing snow led to travel problems and delayed school openings in northeastern North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the region Friday morning, and authorities in Pembina County issued a no travel advisory that later was downgraded to a travel alert.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cold front that moved through the area brought wind gusts of up to 40 mph that blew the snow around, cutting visibility in open areas to half a mile or less, and dropped wind chills to as low as 25 degrees below zero. A wind chill advisory also was issued for parts of central and eastern North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jan 24, 2013) \u2013 The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out at 9:45 -a.m., on Thursday (Jan 24th) to the former Jamestown Hospital building, at 419 5th<\/sup> St NE, currently being renovated into senior apartments (Legacy Living).<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Initial reports indicated that smoke was coming from the basement of the building, called in by demolition workers.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Police Sgt., Justin Blinsky said the daycare facility, on the first floor, south end, ME\u2019s 21st Century Daycare, was evacuated as a precaution, where 26 children were safely evacuated from the building, to the adjacent Lincoln School building, gymnasium with the assistance of police and fire fighters.<\/p>\n

The children ranged in age from six months to 5 years of age.<\/p>\n

15 construction workers were also evacuated from the building, or gathered in a commons area.<\/p>\n

Jamestown City Fire Department Assistant Chief, Jerry Kainz said the fire started in the lower level of the building, where demolition work was being done.<\/p>\n

He said workers were using a cutting torch on metal, in the tunnel area, located under the former hospital\u2019s laundry and kitchen facilities, when sparks ignited wood in the tunnel.<\/p>\n

City fire fighters belly-crawled into the area and soaked down the fire and adjacent area, with about 200 gallons of water.<\/p>\n

Kainz added the fire was small, but created lots of smoke.<\/p>\n

The fire was contained to the tunnel space, and no other smoke damage was reported to the rest of the building.<\/p>\n

He said there is fire alarm protection in the building.<\/p>\n

24 city fire fighters responded with six units on the scene until 10:34 a.m.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

The former hospital building is being converted into apartments for senior citizens, future space for the James River Community Center, commercial space, and community space.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Jan 24, 2013) — The Jamestown City Council Thursday afternoon (Jan 24, 2013) met in Special Session, and then went into Executive Session, to discuss negotiations with Stutsman Rural Water District.<\/p>\n

The City Council consulted with legal counsel concerning territorial service claims by Stutsman Rural Water District.<\/p>\n

At issue is whether the City of Jamestown, or Stutsman Rural Water District is to serve the area west of Jamestown, in this case, specifically the Titan Machinery building, under construction, across from Jamestown Regional Medical Center.<\/p>\n

A city Ordinance outlines that any facility within city limits has to be serviced by the city, with this area previously annexed into Jamestown city limits.<\/p>\n

Stutsman Rural Water District contends that a federal code protects rural water companies from cities going into their territory.<\/p>\n

The City Of Jamestown and the Rural Water District are negotiating a royalty figure the city would pay and keep the rural water district from filing an injunction.<\/p>\n

The City of Jamestown has retained outside legal counsel, and a consulting firm.<\/p>\n

Those present at Thursday\u2019s meeting were: Mayor Andersen, Council Members Kourajian, Gumke, and Brubakken. Council Member Buchanan was absent, being out of town. Others at the Executive Session were: City Administrator Jeff Fuchs, City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf, City Fire Chief Jim Reuther, City Attorneys Ken Dalsted, and Mary Jensen, and on the phone with a conference call was Tammy Norgaard of Vogel Law Firm.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Following the Executive Session, Thursday, the City Council reconvened the Special Session, Mayor Andersen said the Jamestown City Council is scheduled to meet Friday afternoon, (Jan 25, 2013) with the Stutsman Rural Water District at the SRWD Offices, to discuss water service territories.<\/p>\n

The meeting was adjourned with no further business.<\/p>\n

The open portion of the meeting was shown live on CSi 67 followed by replays.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday in Bismarck, Mayor Andersen testified against a house bill 1269 in the state legislature, that would provide $9.97 million in funding for Stutsman Rural Water District\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n

The bill was heard by the House Appropriations Committee at the North Dakota Capitol.<\/p>\n

The Mayor testified that she opposes the bill because it may affect the territorial dispute between the city of Jamestown and Stutsman Rural Water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The Jamestown City Council\u2019s Police and Fire, and Public Works Committees met Thursday afternoon (Jan 24, 2013) at City Hall.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Health officials in Grand Forks say another student has been diagnosed tuberculosis in Grand Forks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The latest diagnosis is tied to an outbreak of tuberculosis in the area.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The student goes to Winship Elementary School. Children who were in close contact with the student are going to be tested Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say 16 people – 6 children and 10 adults- have been diagnosed with the potentially fatal lung infection.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Health officials have linked the outbreak to homeless visitors who exposed a family who gave them shelter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Kansas man who held up a bank in North Dakota’s oil patch and then called police three days later from his home to tell them he had made a mistake has been sentenced to federal prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fifty-three-year-old Kent Clemens, of Topeka, Kansas was sentenced in federal court in Bismarck on Wednesday to serve three years and one month in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. He also was ordered to pay $500 in restitution.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Clemens entered a Gate City Bank in Williston last July 18th and demanded money from a teller before fleeing on foot. He returned to Topeka and called police three days later. He pleaded guilty to bank robbery last October.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) has ordered a Fargo couple who allegedly ran a building scam to stop doing business in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 George Nelson the Third and Karla Nelson already are charged in South Dakota, and George Nelson has been incarcerated in Minnesota for a similar scam. Stenehjem alleges that the Nelsons scammed consumers in at least nine North Dakota counties, taking money in advance and doing little or no work. He says they also allegedly operated without a contractor’s license.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A telephone listing for the Nelsons in Fargo is disconnected.
\n\u00a0

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Human Services Department says its Child Support Division collected a record $141 million last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The amount of court-ordered child support collected surpassed the 2011 total by more than 4 percent. The division says it also set an all-time monthly collections record in March 2012, at $14 million.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Division Director Jim Fleming says there are several reasons for last year’s records, including support from businesses, a new online lien registry and the good work of child support staff.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Human Services recently removed the word “enforcement” from the name of the Child Support Division, saying the new name better reflects the mission of working with parents to ensure children’s needs are met and families don’t have to rely on public assistance. The program serves more than 65,000 children.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s soaring oil production has led to record population in the state. And that means more crime and less jail space.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corrections Department Director Leann Bertsch says the state’s prison population is at a record level. She says there are a record 1,550 inmates at the state penitentiary in Bismarck and lockups across the state are filled beyond capacity.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bertsch says she expects the trend to continue based on the increased number of felony cases in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lawmakers are considering legislation that would make North Dakota one of 15 states to require jail time for first-time drunken driving offenders
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bertsch says if the measure passes, the state prison system will be even more crowded.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Thirty-six rur<\/p>\n

al hospitals in North Dakota are receiving money to help improve the quality of care for patients.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 funding comes from the University of North Dakota Center for Rural Health’s Small Hospital Improvement Program.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nearly $279,000 will be distributed among the hospitals.

\u00a0DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – Seven churches in the North Dakota oil patch city of Dickinson are banding together to help the homeless.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Dickinson Churches United for the Homeless group has received a permit from the city to temporarily create a place for 15 men to sleep on cold winter nights.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The churches will operate as shelters in February and March. The two-month trial will give the church group time to work out any kinks before coming to the City Commission with a permanent plan.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some residents have questioned whether a shelter will exacerbate the problem of job-seekers coming to Dickinson without housing. Commissioner Klayton Oltmanns says news outlets around the world already are touting the demand for jobs in the oil patch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have given Hess Corp. the go-ahead to drill up to eight wells in the Killdeer Mountains area of western North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The plan had drawn opposition from landowners, American Indians, archaeologists and others who fear the drilling will harm the area’s beauty and its historical and cultural significance.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms said denying the request would leave in the ground 3.5 million barrels of oil worth about $250 million.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Industrial Commission members on Thursday also said they have a responsibility to mineral owners who want to see the minerals developed in their lifetimes. They unanimously approved the drilling but added several stipulations to address some of the concerns.<\/p>\n
