 <\/p>\n

The forecast for Wednesday is looking quite wet, mainly across<\/p>\n

central North Dakota. Showers and storms look likely<\/a> through the<\/p>\n

day as remnants from Tuesday night`s precipitation continue.<\/p>\n

The bigger threat appears to be the potential for minor flooding<\/a>, mainly in urban areas as soil moisture<\/a> is rather low across the area. The flood<\/a> threat<\/p>\n

appears to be due to a prolonged period of moderate rain<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although most of the rainfall<\/a> should be moderate in nature, pockets of heavy rainfall<\/a> will be possible as well. Some areas in central<\/p>\n

North Dakota over 2 inches of rain on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Even more rainfall<\/a> appears likely<\/a> Wednesday night into Thursday.<\/p>\n

The trend looks to continue into the weekend, bringing continued<\/p>\n

chances for showers and storms through Sunday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The City of Jamestown continued with the 2020 calendar year budget meetings , Tuesday afternoon at City Hall. Council Member Steele was not present.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the meeting included:<\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich said as the process goes along, sales tax revenue distribution, concerning allocating to Special Assessments.\u00a0 He added that with the exception of a grant, that there is no funding mechanism to pay for the First Avenue, \u201cRoad Diet,\u201d project.<\/p>\n

He added the city needs to budget to replace funds such as from the city\u2019s share of the specials fund, which contains more dollars needed than funds available.<\/p>\n

City Administrator Sarah Hellekson explained the process of transferring of funds, to balance budgets, including the storm water utility program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A fee to increase is animal impound kennel fees to $25, to cover expenses.<\/p>\n

Also proposed is an increase in animal licenses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With state aid distribution, dollars, the state projects a decrease in population, based on projections of the 2020 census. Mayor Heinrich said the figures show Jamestown with only a population of 11,000 adding that the figure needs to be addressed before funds are distributed to the city.\u00a0 The library, airport and park board receive percentages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the city fire department, an increase in the Blue Cross\/ Blue Shield plan is 10 percent.<\/p>\n

An increase is noted in the cost of supplies, along with electricity, and telephone usage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich said line items will need to be reviewed for funding, as the budget process continues.\u00a0 With state equipment purchases, he suggested indicating the state legislators be informed, prior to the legislative session.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the Police Department budget there is a 10-percent increase in insurance costs, and a line item increase in the cost of recruitment of new officers.\u00a0 No vehicle purchases are expected in 2020.<\/p>\n

With Finance and Assessment, City Assessor \u00a0Jamison Veil said the Assessor\u2019s Department is understaffed, including staff obtaining property appraisals.<\/p>\n

With the Civic Center, Director Pam Fosse said more dollars are being expended on paying overtime to \u00a0employees because two full time janitors hours are being over extended, leading to more overtime hours, and the addition of paying more in part time and overtime wages, plus comp time.<\/p>\n

Before the end of the meeting, Mayor Heinrich said he will not support deficit spending, and at this point the 2020 General Fund Budget is short of being balanced by between $600,00 and $700,000.<\/p>\n

The next city budget meeting is planned for July 16.<\/p>\n

      SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal appeals court has affirmed a decision by a North Dakota judge who blocked a merger between Sanford Health and a private physicians group.<\/p>\n

      Sanford, headquartered in Sioux Falls, wanted to acquire Mid Dakota Clinic, but the Federal Trade Commission and the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office objected to the merger.<\/p>\n

      The Argus Leader says Judge Alice Senechal granted a preliminary hearing halting the deal and Sanford appealed to the Eighth District Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel upheld Senechal’s ruling late last week.<\/p>\n

      Mid Dakota’s practice includes 23 primary care physicians, six pediatricians, eight OB\/GYN physicians and five general surgeons. If a merger were allowed Sanford would have 84 to 99 percent of the market share in the Bismarck-Mandan area.<\/p>\n

      RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) \u2014 Police in South Dakota say they believe they’ve solved the murder of a pharmacist who was raped and strangled in her Rapid City home over 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

      Investigators say they used DNA and genealogy databases to identify a man who died of cancer in 2009.<\/p>\n

      Detective Wayne Keefe said at a news conference Monday that they believe the suspect killed 60-year-old Gwen Miller in 1968 when he was a 25-year-old living in Rapid City. Keefe called it “a little surreal” to finally identify him after 51 years and 4,000-5,000 hours of work.<\/p>\n

      A forensic genealogist analyzed the DNA profile from Miller’s body and used public genealogy websites to identify a brother of the killer. Then Keefe used old phone directories to determine the suspect had lived near the victim.<\/p>\n

      In world and national news…<\/p>\n

      WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 German Chancellor Angela Merkel (AHN’-geh-lah MEHR’-kuhl) says her country is taking “very seriously” the new U.S. information about Iran’s alleged responsibility for attacks last week on two oil tankers near the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

      Merkel says “there’s a high-level of evidence. But that won’t stop me from saying we have to do everything to solve the conflict situation with Iran in a peaceful manner.”<\/p>\n

      Iran denies the U.S. accusation.<\/p>\n

      She says Germany is in close contact with the United States and “will do everything to impress on all sides, but especially to make clear to Iran, that this serious situation mustn’t be aggravated.”<\/p>\n

      Merkel also says Germany wants Iran to abide by the 2015 nuclear accord, adding that “if that isn’t the case that will of course have consequences.”<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      BERLIN (AP) \u2014 German Chancellor Angela Merkel says with a few glasses of water she’s doing better, after starting to visibly shake when standing next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the hot sun.<\/p>\n

      Merkel grinned widely Tuesday when asked by reporters about her condition during the red-carpet reception for Zelenskiy about an hour earlier. As a military band played their national anthems, the chancellor’s whole body visibly shook and she pursed her lips as she tried to contain the situation.<\/p>\n

      After the anthems Merkel seemed better as she walked inside with Zelenskiy, and at the press conference told reporters she was fine.<\/p>\n

      She says “since then I’ve drunk at least three glasses of water, which I apparently needed, and now I’m doing very well.”<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Update…<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Facebook’s introduction of a new digital currency is likely to draw regulatory scrutiny. But New York University law professor Eleanor Fox says initial details about the currency don’t signal any traditional antitrust problems.<\/p>\n

      Facebook is already under federal investigation over its privacy practices, and along with other technology giants also faces a new antitrust probe in Congress.<\/p>\n

      Creating its own globe-spanning currency \u2014 one that could conceivably threaten banks, national currencies and the privacy of users \u2014 isn’t likely to dampen regulators’ interest in Facebook.<\/p>\n

      Fox says critics will say this is too much power for Facebook and shouldn’t be allowed. But she considers Facebook’s foray “a grass-roots entry into a new field” and says it can increase innovation.<\/p>\n

      Facebook said Tuesday it plans to launch the currency over the next six to 12 months.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Jennifer Pinckney was hiding under a desk holding the mouth of her then-6-year-old daughter when Dylann Roof fired more than 70 shots in Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine black worshippers.<\/p>\n

      The new documentary, “Emanuel,” explores life after the tragic shooting on June 17, 2015, as family members, friends and the community try to heal through faith and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

      Pinckney’s husband, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was one of the nine killed by Roof, who sat through 45 minutes of Bible study at the church before firing shots. Pinckney and her daughter, Malana, were in the reverend’s office when they heard gun shots in another room.<\/p>\n

      “It brings it all back for me,” Pinckney said of watching “Emanuel,” which opens in theaters nationwide for a limited run on Monday and Wednesday<\/a> . Oscar winner Viola Davis and NBA star Steph Curry are executive producers.<\/p>\n

      “It’s emotional. I can’t help but to relive what happened.”<\/p>\n

      Roof was convicted of federal hate-crime and obstruction-of-religion charges and sentenced to death.<\/p>\n
