Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News May 1, 2013) — The Jamestown City Fire Department and Montana Dakota Utilities responded to a call just before 4-p.m., on Wednesday (May 1, 2013)\u00a0 where a natural gas leak was reported.<\/p>\n
City Fire Lt. Sheldon Mohr said the location was in the alley at 1214 9th<\/sup> Avenue, Southeast, where a natural gas line was ruptured.<\/p>\n
An individual was digging to place a fence post when the line was struck.<\/p>\n
The city fire department was on standby at the scene, until MDU shut off the gas line about 4:30-p.m., and the city fire department returned to the fire station.<\/p>\n
24 city fire fighters were called to the fire station, as two fire units were on the scene.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News May 1, 2013) — The American Cancer Society reports, that once again the Jamestown High School National Honor Society, under the supervision of Tammy Mullowney, along with community volunteers, James & Linda Bender and Bill & Nellie Degen, hosted a very successful 2013 Daffodil Days event, raising approximately $6,000.<\/p>\n
Community Relations Manager, Mary Dahl , in Fargo, days, the American Cancer Society would like to share that it appreciates every bouquet of daffodils purchased, and we want to reassure everyone that the dollars raised by the event will be used to help the American Cancer Society continue its funding of cancer research, its state and national legislative advocacy, and its many educational and patient service programs.<\/p>\n
This year alone, the investment will be approximately $120 million in cancer research nationwide; $3.2 billion has been invested since the research program began in 1946.<\/p>\n
A portion of the money raised by past Daffodil Days in Stutsman County is presently being used to support Look Good \u2026 Feel Better, Patient Lodging Program, and Transportation Assistance<\/em>, which are very successful and well-utilized programs here in our area. The money raised locally is also helping to fund the Society\u2019s Cancer Resource Centers. Patients and their families from Jamestown and throughout North Dakota have been visiting these Centers for information and assistance following their diagnosis of cancer.<\/p>\n
The Society\u2019s research program is the largest, private, not-for-profit source of funding for cancer research in the United States, second only to the federal government. In fact, 46 of the researchers we have financially supported have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. The Society\u2019s funding has also helped play a part in every major research break-through in the past 50 years, including: the Pap Test, mammography, Gleevex, Tamoxifen, Herceptin, Gardacil, the first successful chemotherapy treatment for cancer, and the bone marrow transplant technique.<\/p>\n
Ms Dahl says the American Cancer Society greatly appreciates the support of the students and community volunteers, Don\u2019s House of Flowers and staff for providing a staging area and storage of the fresh flowers, and all who purchased Daffodil products.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A 49-year-old Moorhead, Minn., man has been sentenced in North Dakota to life in prison on a federal charge of conspiracy to possess methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Raul Tovar was found guilty by a 12-person jury in January of conspiracy and aiding and abetting. U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Erickson sentenced him on Wednesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Purdon says Moorhead police officers were investigating a drug trafficking organization in the Fargo-Moorhead area. A motel room in Moorhead led to the arrest of one man, who said he was obtaining the drugs from Tovar.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Red River appears to have crested in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Gust says it appears a preliminary crest of 33.27 feet was reached early Wednesday. The exact level will be verified later.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gust says the river level is expected to slowly decline over the next few days and drop below major flood stage of 30 feet early Sunday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The metro area is wrapping up its fourth major Red River flood fight in five years, though this year’s event wasn’t as serious as first advertised. Earlier estimates were for a crest in the 38- to 42-foot range.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo has spent about $2 million to build clay levees and sandbag dikes.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Transportation Department officials say floodwaters have receded from the state Highway 15 underpass in Fessenden and the highway has been reopened.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 N.D. Highway 17 remains closed at the bridge crossing the Red River in Walsh County, and U.S. Highway 81 remains closed on the south side of Minto.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Highway 81 also is affected by floodwaters a mile south of Hamilton but remains open to traffic. N.D. Highway 14 also reopens open despite floodwaters south of the U.S. Highway 2 junction at Towner. Traffic speeds are reduced in both areas.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A federal budget proposal that could lead to U.S. border crossing fees is drawing opposition in North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sherwood hardware store owner Allan Engh tells the Minot Daily News it’s senseless to charge people to come into the country to spend money. He estimates one-third of his business comes from Canadian customers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Winnipeg resident Andrew Chan says he travels to Fargo two or three times a year. He tells The Forum a border-crossing fee might cause him to scale back his visits.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer has joined 18 others in Congress in signing a letter asking Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to reject a proposal in the department’s 2014 budget to study charging the fee.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cramer says North Dakota welcomes more than a million visitors from Canada each year.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n
\u00a0BOSTON (AP) – Three college friends of the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect are accused of removing a backpack from his dorm room — a backpack containing fireworks that had been emptied of gunpowder. According to charges filed Wednesday, they did so three days after the attack. Two of the men are charged with conspiring to obstruct justice. A third is charged with making false statements. The affidavit says the two facing the obstruction of justice charges agreed to get rid of the backpack after concluding from news reports that their friend, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv), was one of the bombers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BOSTON (AP) – Relatives of Tamerlan Tsarnaev (TAM’-ehr-lun tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) have decided to claim his body, now that his wife has agreed to release it. The body has been at the medical examiner’s office in Massachusetts since he died following a gunfight with authorities more than a week ago. An attorney for the widow said she wants the body released to his family members. An uncle in Maryland who has agreed to claim the body says, “A family is a family.”

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – More evidence of a slowing economy was dragging stocks downward Wednesday. And the announcement from the Federal Reserve that it will keep trying to boost the economy hasn’t been able to give stocks a boost. Stocks were hurt by a report that showed U.S. factory activity fell to its slowest pace of 2013 last month. Another report said companies added just 119,000 jobs in April, the smallest number in seven months.<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – A veteran Democratic congressman has been chosen to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency. If confirmed, Melvin Watt of North Carolina will lead the agency charged with regulating lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Obama says Watt “knows what it’s going to take” to help homeowners recover from the housing crisis.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – More than 30 mentally disabled workers at a turkey processing plant in Iowa have been awarded a total of $240 million. This, after a trial at which an expert witness said the workers had spent years in “virtual enslavement” by the company that oversaw their care, work and lodging.<\/p>\n
