\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fifty-one-year-old Charles Kettle allegedly brought the drugs from California. He faces a felony charge that carries a maximum punishment upon conviction of 20 years in prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kettle was arrested on March 5 and appeared in court this week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police Chief Scott Edinger says the bust is one of the biggest in recent history in the city.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2013 The former president of Mayville State and Valley City State University has filed a complaint against the North Dakota Board of Higher Education.<\/p>\n

Ellen Chaffee filed the complaint with the Higher Learning Commission, which handles accreditation for colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

Chaffee alleges that the Board of Higher Education is violating the Higher Learning Commission\u2019s policies by cutting itself off from direct contact with the state\u2019s universities and presidents.<\/p>\n

Chaffee says the sole source of information now comes from Chancellor Hamid Shirvani. Shirvani has come under fire from some legislators, students and others for his management style.<\/p>\n

Higher Education Board President Duaine Espegard says he needs to review the complaint before commenting.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Apr 1, 2013) — The Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) has given Cenex Harvest States, Incorporated (CHS) more time to research building the fertilizer plant planned for the Spiritwood Energy Park.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday\u2019s (Apr 3, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JSDC\u2019s Marketing\/Workforce Developer, Holly Miller said, the “pre-feed study,” was to expire on March 31, 2013, and has been extended to April 30, as plans are proceeding.<\/p>\n

The pre-feed study determines if operational raw materials will be available at the Spiritwood location, including water from sources, and increased capacity to provide natural gas to the Spiritwood Energy Park.<\/p>\n

In September of 2012 at a gathering in Bismarck, with Governor Dalrymple and other officials the announcement was made to build the $1.2 billion plant in the Spiritwood Energy Park.<\/p>\n

The plant will use natural gas from North Dakota\u2019s Oil Patch to produce anhydrous ammonia fertilizer.<\/p>\n

CHS has options to purchase land in Spiritwood Energy Park, and has been given time to complete its engineering and business research.<\/p>\n

Ms. Miller also said the JSDC\u2019s web site now has a tab with the SRF Consulting, draft land use plan.<\/p>\n

An open house with SRF will be Thursday April 4, 2013, from 3-p.m., to 7-p.m., at the Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The JSDC’s news release states:<\/p>\n

“The Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation is currently involved in a Growth Management Plan for the City of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

This planning process includes a future land use plan which defines growth areas for the City of Jamestown and its two-mile Extraterritorial Area.<\/p>\n

Once adopted, the future land use plan will serve as a planning tool for the city and does not call for the immediate change in land use or zoning.<\/p>\n

Existing development that may be designated as a different land use in the future land use plan will be allowed to continue in its current use and zoning district for an indefinite amount of time or at such time that a zone change is requested.<\/p>\n

At a time in which the property owner wishes to change the zoning or land use of a property, the proposed change must comply with the future land use plan.<\/p>\n

The land use plan that will be presented at the April 4th Open House is currently in draft form and is subject to change following additional public input.”<\/p>\n

The JSDC will be represented at the Medina Ag Show on Saturday April 6, 2013.<\/p>\n

The JSDC\u2019s Annual Meeting will be on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 6-p.m., at the Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Included in the meeting will be the “Growing” Jamestown\/Stutsman County Awards, the 2012 Annual Report, and the 2012, JSDC Year in Review Report.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Experts with the U.S. Geological Survey and National Weather Service say peak flooding on the Red River in Fargo will likely occur after April 15.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gregg Wiche, director of the USGS North Dakota Water Science Center, says previous large April floods in Fargo have all peaked between the 15th and the 19th. The 1997 flood, the area’s second highest on record, peaked on April 18.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wiche says above normal snowpack and cold March temperatures have contributed to the late melt. This year had the deepest average snow depth for the last day of March since weather records began in Fargo in the mid-1880s.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The weather service has given a 50 percent chance of the river in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., reaching 38 feet, which would be the fifth highest flood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Volunteers in Fargo filled 110,000 sandbags during the first day of a 10-day campaign at Sandbag Central.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A storage shed for garbage trucks has been transformed into Sandbag Central, where volunteers are manning three so-called “Spider” machines, each of which can produce 5,000 bags an hour.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bags may be needed to protect residents against what is predicted to be one of the top five Red River floods of all time in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The goal is a million sandbags. Fargo has 750,000 sandbags left over from the flood of 2011. The city sent 800,000 bags to the Bismarck area that year, during historic Missouri River flooding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials hope to wrap up operations by April 13.<\/p>\n

Fargo Municipal Court judges have begun ordering some minor offenders to serve time at Sandbag Central.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Judge Steve Dawson says some people who may have otherwise received sentences of community service and are capable of performing physical labor are being told to fill bags.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dawson says the sandbag sentences benefit the community and reduce the cost to taxpayers instead of more expensive sentencing alternatives.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Senate Appropriations Committee has given a “do pass’ recommendation to expand Medicaid to cover more uninsured residents of the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The committee voted 7-6 on Wednesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sen. Ray Holmberg is chairman of the committee. The Grand Forks Republican says the full Senate should vote on the measure next week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Holmberg says the vote will be close but he expects it to pass.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s House reluctantly endorsed the measure late last month while criticizing the component of the federal Affordable Care Act championed by President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Grand Forks truck driver who describes himself as anti-abortion is leading the effort to have voters repeal North Dakota’s strict new abortion laws.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gary Hangsleben tells The Associated Press that he’s “pro-life,” but he thinks residents should be able to vote on the laws.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hangsleben says more than 300 people from across the state have volunteered to collect signatures for the referendum petitions. Officials from two of the state’s biggest abortion-rights groups say they’re not interested in the help.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Renee Stromme of the North Dakota Women’s Network says her group doesn’t want “referrals.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed bills last week that would make the state the most restrictive in the nation to get an abortion. The deadline to gather signatures is June 24.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – A popular lookout rest area and tourist attraction that serves as a gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park could open by May 25.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Park Superintendent Valerie Naylor\u00a0says \u00a0an agreement was reached Wednesday to open Painted Canyon Overlook by Memorial Day,
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Naylor says some “unexpected savings” were discovered that will allow the overlook along Interstate 94 to open. Officials had decided not to open the overlook in April because of the automatic federal spending cuts that took effect March 1.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota residents will have to have identification when they show up to the polls.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s Senate approved the measure 30-16 Wednesday. The House approved the measure in February.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota is the only state in the nation that does not have voter registration, which has prompted proposals to toughen its voter identification requirements.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Residents who didn’t bring any identification to the polls could vote anyway if they signed a sworn statement attesting that they are eligible to vote in the precinct.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified the second of two people who died in last week’s camper fire in Williston.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Williams County Sheriff’s Office says 46-year-old DeeAnna Nerland of Washington state died in the March 25th blaze. Officials say they’re waiting on DNA results.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Earlier, the sheriff’s office identified 47-year-old Lawrence Norman of Kelso, Washington as the other victim.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say the cause of death was smoke inhalation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – An Oregon man riding on an Amtrak train to Minnesota has been arrested in North Dakota after authorities found more than 7 pounds of marijuana in his luggage.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Department says U.S. Customs and Border Patrol received information that a suspicious person boarded the train in Portland, Ore. Officers from the Grand Fork’s Sheriff’s Office boarded the train in Grand Forks and with the help of a K9, located and seized 7.5 pounds of marijuana worth about $44,000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A 22-year-old man from Portland was arrested.<\/p>\n

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP Apr 3, 2013) – Rutgers has fired basketball coach Mike Rice after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs during practice.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The videotape, broadcast Tuesday on ESPN, has prompted scores of outraged social media comments as well as sharp criticism from Gov. Chris Christie. The head of the New Jersey Assembly called for Rice to be fired.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With mounting criticism on a state and national level, the school decided to take action on Wednesday, relieving Rice of his duties after three largely unsuccessful seasons at the Big East school. There will be a national search to replace him.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti was given a copy of the video in November. After hiring independent investigators to analyze the tape, he suspended Rice for three games and fined him $50,000.<\/p>\n

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Connecticut is just hours away from a sweeping new law that includes new restrictions on weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines as a response to last year’s deadly school shooting in Newtown. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is expected to sign the wide-ranging bill at midday.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) – West Virginia authorities still haven’t said whether the shooting death of Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum is connected to his work cracking down on drugs in the southern part of the state. Crum was gunned down in daylight in a place where he parked his car for lunch. Suspect Tennis Melvin Maynard was shot and wounded after a chase.

Gov. Rick Perry and law enforcement officers from as far away as Britain are expected to attend the public memorial for the couple found slain in their home.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LONDON (AP) – The father of six British children who died in a house fire has been sentenced to life, with a minimum of 15 years in prison. The judge described Mick Philpott as the “driving force” behind the blaze and a dangerous man. His wife, Mairead, and family friend Paul Mosley each received 17 years for manslaughter. Prosecutors say the plan was to start the fire, rescue the children and pin the blame on Philpott’s mistress.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Spacecraft orbiting Mars and exploring on the planet are getting some downtime this month thanks to the sun. For much of April, the sun blocks the line of sight between Earth and Mars. This celestial alignment – called a Mars solar conjunction – makes it difficult for engineers to communicate with their exploration craft. It happens every two years when MARS disappears behind the sun.
