Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Aug 6, 2013) \u2013 Tuesday afternoon downtown Jamestown received nearly .60 of an inch of rain between about 2-p.m., and 4-p.m. Minor street flooding was noted. That was in addition to about .20 of an inch that fell early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The system continued to move east and southeast prompting a severe thunderstorm warning in extreme southern Barnes County which expired at 4:30-p.m. From the storm system Valley City officially recorded 1.72 inches.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. News) Aug 6, 2013- More than six months after being placed on alert for a potential mission to Afghanistan, Soldiers of the Jamestown, N.D.,-based 817th Engineer Company (Sapper) learned that they will not be mobilized.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army notified the unit that it will no longer be needed for the previously anticipated mission.<\/p>\n

North Dakota adjutant general, Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk says,”The Soldiers of the 817th Engineer Company have proven their capabilities and dedication in numerous endeavors over the years, from natural disaster support to missions in Iraq. I’m grateful for their service and their willingness to take part in yet another mission, but I’m also thankful that their families will no longer need to worry about spending a year apart from their Soldiers. This is also good news for their employers, who have been instrumental in ensuring the mission success of our citizen-Soldiers.”<\/p>\n

The North Dakota National Guard unit of nearly 100 Soldiers received an alert notification in December 2012 and began preparing for a potential Afghanistan mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom expected to begin the spring of 2014.<\/p>\n

Last June, the unit, which specializes in combat engineer missions, trained for two weeks preparing for their overseas mission at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.<\/p>\n

The company last deployed from June 2007 until June 2008 and served in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Prior to its transformation to the 817th Engineer Company, the Jamestown unit was designated Company B of the 141st Engineer Combat Battalion. The Soldiers in that unit also deployed to Iraq, as part of a 15-month mission from December 2003 through February 2005. On each deployment, the Guardsmen served as “Trailblazers,” securing routes of potential hazards to ensure safe movement for coalition forces and civilians.<\/p>\n

While somewhat unusual, it’s not the first time that a North Dakota National Guard unit has been removed from a deployment roster due to the continually changing mission and corresponding skills needed among the Armed Forces. Previously, the 835th Engineer Team (Asphalt) and 897th Engineer Team (Concrete), both Carrington, N.D.-based units, were removed from alert status in June 2011. Additionally, the Bismarck-based 814th Medical Company was removed from an alert in September 2006.<\/p>\n

The 814th Medical Company is again on alert to deploy, having received a notice in January for a possible Afghanistan mission early next year.<\/p>\n

Today, about 30 North Dakota Air National Guard Airmen are serving in Afghanistan with the 119th Security Forces Squadron and about 30 North Dakota Army National Guard Soldiers are serving in Cuba with the 191st Military Police Company. Additionally, two small units of fewer than 10 Soldiers are deployed overseas; the 1919th Contracting Team serving in Afghanistan and Qatar and Detachment 42 Operational Support Airlift in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

More than 200 additional Guardsmen are serving on stateside mobilizations, the bulk of which hail from the 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment and are taking part in a National Capital Region mission.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Aug 6, 2013) — Interstate Engineering has updated the schedule of work for the sanitary sewer project.<\/p>\n

3rd Ave NW from 7th St NW to 8th St NW will now close on Thursday, August 8, 2013.<\/p>\n

The section of 3rd Ave NW from 8th St NW to 9th St NW will close next week (Wk of Aug. 12, 2013.)<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — BNSF Railway is informing the public that it is scheduled to be reworking the 1st<\/sup> AVE crossing (HWY 281 Through Downtown Jamestown).<\/p>\n

The scheduled start date is Wednesday (August 7, 2013)<\/p>\n

The anticipated end date is Friday (August 9, 2013)<\/p>\n

This Project will require the complete closure of the crossing for the for mentioned time period.<\/p>\n

The railroad will provide barricades for the crossing only.<\/p>\n

If for any reason the project will take longer than specified another announcement will be made with a second end date provided.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The Buffalo City Tourism Foundation is in the process of selecting a firm to develop a branding and marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

Executive Director Searle Swedlund says requests for proposals went out and two firms made presentations last week.<\/p>\n

The possibility exists that the organizations name and the board\u2019s name may be changed from “Buffalo City” to “Jamestown” to better reflect that Jamestown is the destination of information promoted by the BCTF.<\/p>\n

He says the foundation board is also discussing “who is the best visitor” to Jmaestown.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Swedlund said that he recently visited Keystone, Colorado, where in the winter, snow skiing is the tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that in the summer the ski trails are used for down hill biking events and activities.<\/p>\n

Swedlund suggested that the Jamestown area may be able to offer more biking opportunities for visitors, and maybe establish a bike shop in town.<\/p>\n

He added that the Jamestown area has much to offer, to tourists, plus even more untapped ideas, that residents can bring to the table, perhaps organizations partnering with other groups to develop and bring new attractions to Jamestown.<\/p>\n

He says his office and the BCTF Board are always interested in hearing about new tourism ideas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The state Board of Higher Education is holding a special meeting to talk about salaries for 10 presidents in the university system.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board last week delayed action on the pay hikes to could consider several salary options presented by acting chancellor Larry Skogen. One of Skogen’s plans would give 4 percent raises to all presidents.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Skogen took over for Hamid Shirvani, whose contract was bought out by the board after just one year as chancellor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shirvani had recommended raises ranging from 5 percent for Valley City State’s Steven Shirley and Williston State’s Raymond Nadolny, to no raises at all for the University of North Dakota’s Robert Kelley and David Fuller, president at both Minot State and Dakota College at Bottineau.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The meeting is scheduled\u00a0this afternoon in Valley City.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Detectives investigating the spring killing of a Williston hobby rancher say they found blood, ammo casings, teeth and eyeglasses at his house.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Six people are charged in the death of 58-year-old Jack Sjol, whose body was found May 14 – three weeks after his family reported him missing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-three-year-old Ryan Stensaker has been charged with murder. He appeared in court Monday for a hearing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Williston sheriff’s detective Sgt. Amanda McNamee testified that the ammo found at Sjol’s house came from a .300 Savage bolt action rifle, which was found in Stensaker’s mother’s house.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stensaker’s attorney, Steven Mottinger, argued that there is no proof that the lone bullet found in Sjol’s body came from Stensaker’s gun.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of driving the getaway car in a January robbery at a Mandan bar is headed to trial.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bismarck Tribune reports 30-year-old Brandon Peeters in June pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, and he was to be sentenced Monday. Instead, Judge Tom Schneider entered a not guilty plea for Peeters and ordered the case scheduled for trial.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schneider cited conflicting statements he said Peeters has made to officers that bring into question whether Peeters was actually in on the robbery plan.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Peeters could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. He remains free on bond.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The man who robbed the bar, Shane Wentz, was sentenced in July to serve 10 years in prison for that robbery and several attempted and completed robberies in Bismarck.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – An arrest warrant has been issued for an Idaho man wanted for manslaughter in North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The charge against 57-year-old Clark Christensen, of Shelley, Idaho, stems from a May 16 crash near Minot that killed 21-year-old Megan Shoal, a Minot State University student from Plentywood, Mont.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities allege that Christensen was driving a semitrailer that plowed into several vehicles stopped at a red light because the brakes were not properly maintained. Eight vehicles were damaged or destroyed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Christensen could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Court records do not list an attorney for him. A telephone listing for him in Shelley was not in service Tuesday.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Lincoln man accused of stabbing a woman and holding her against her will during a domestic dispute that left his mother dead has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Thirty-six-year-old Christopher Vick recently pleaded guilty to felony charges of attempted murder and felonious restraint.<\/p>\n

Vick was accused of stabbing his brother’s fiancee and holding her against her will on May 30. Authorities say the dispute left Vick’s 62-year-old mother, Alice Vick, dead, though no one has been charged in her death.<\/p>\n

An autopsy concluded Alice Vick died of a blow to the head. Police say they’re continuing to investigate.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The new entrance of the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck will not be opening next month as originally planned.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Historical Society expansion coordinator Claudia Berg tells The\u00a0 construction delays have pushed back the opening, possibly until early next year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials had hoped to begin opening new and remodeled areas of the state museum in stages beginning this summer. Berg says it’s frustrating not to be able to do that, but the grand opening for the expanded and renovated center on the Capitol grounds still is on track for November 2014.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When the $22 million project is complete, the Heritage Center will have about 39,000 square feet of museum space, nearly double the original amount.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University star linebacker Travis Beck is scheduled to change his plea to a charge of resisting arrest.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 21-year-old Beck earlier pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge. The Forum reports that the change-of-plea hearing scheduled for Aug. 19 in East Central District Court comes after prosecutors dismissed a more serious felony assault charge in June.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both charges stemmed from a brawl outside a downtown Fargo restaurant in the early morning hours of June 9. Police said Beck knocked another man unconscious. Prosecutors dismissed the aggravated assault charge against Beck after concluding there was no proof he started the altercation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Beck is a two-year starter for the two-time NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision champions. He was the most valuable player in the 2012 FCS championship game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State is in the top spot in the coaches’ preseason Football Championship Subdivision poll.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota State received 23 of 26 first-place votes in the poll, which is based on a voting panel of FCS coaches.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bison return 18 starters from a team that went 14-1 and rolled over Sam Houston State in the championship game at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, in January.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Montana State was picked No. 2, followed by Eastern Washington, Sam Houston and Wofford. Other first place votes went to Montana State, Sam Houston and No. 19 Eastern Kentucky.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Other Missouri Valley Football Conference teams ranked are South Dakota State at No. 7, Illinois State at No. 10, Northern Iowa at No. 16, and Youngstown State at No. 24.

\u00a0MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The NBA has released its upcoming schedule, which will begin with three games on October 29.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves will open the regular season at home for the 13th straight year. But they will not play San Antonio in Minnesota next season.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Wolves announced their schedule on Tuesday. They will open the season on Oct. 30 against the Orlando Magic. But the Spurs will not come to Minnesota because the Timberwolves are the designated home team against San Antonio to be played in Mexico City on Dec. 4.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Wolves will play 13 games on national television this season, with interest increasing thanks to a team that is predicted to contend for its first playoff berth since 2004.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Home highlights include a visit from Kevin Garnett and the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 22, the Heat on Dec. 7 and the Lakers on March 28.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Pacers host the Orlando Magic in the opening game of the season, about the time the Miami Heat are holding another championship ring ceremony. The Heat will open their title defense against the Bulls before the Lakers take on the Clippers in the final game of the opening-night slate.<\/p>\n

\u00a0KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) – Tony Stewart has undergone successful surgery to repair the broken right tibia and fibula he suffered in a sprint car race in Iowa Monday night.

CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s presidency says more than 10 days of diplomatic efforts to end the standoff with the Muslim Brotherhood have failed. Envoys from the United States, the European Union and Arab Gulf states have been working to defuse the crisis between the government and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. Those efforts have ended, according to interim President Adly Mansour. Mansour blames the Brotherhood for the failure to reach a resolution.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -East Africa’s largest airport in Nairobi, Kenya, is closed this morning and all inbound flights are being rerouted after a massive early morning fire destroyed the arrivals hall. The fire broke out on the 15th anniversary of the bombings of the U.S. Embassy buildings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, in neighboring Tanzania, but there were no immediate signs of terrorism.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea says it is lifting a ban on operations at a factory it runs jointly with the South. The park had been closed since Pyongyang pulled out its 53,000 workers in April. The rivals agreed to meet next week for talks meant to restart the complex. A statement by the North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea appears to guarantee a South Korean demand: That Pyongyang won’t unilaterally close the industrial complex should tensions between the rivals rise again.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – A herd of 100 starts cleaning up Washington’s historic Congressional Cemetery today, and they’re working for meals. A grazing herd of goats will munch, 24 hours a day for six days to eliminate vines, poison ivy and weeds, while also “fertilizing the ground” at the landmark. They’ll be penned outside of the burial areas. The cemetery says the use of goats will eliminate the need for harmful herbicides and will keep invasive species from killing large trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
