Jamestown (CSi) \u2013 A water main break that closed the All Vets Club in downtown Jamestown on Tuesday was repaired between 2:30 and 3-p.m.<\/p>\n

The break was reported on Tuesday morning, and cancelled the<\/p>\n

Tuesday Lunch Buffet normally from 11-a.m., to 2-p.m.<\/p>\n

Manager Jon Beyer said the club reopened for the regular schedule for the balance of the Tuesday hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) On Tuesday morning authorities were warning of hazardous travel conditions including “black ice” on road surfaces causing traffic accidents.<\/p>\n

Stutsman County sheriff, Chad Kaiser said the very slippery driving conditions led to most occurring in western Stutsman County, including four calls of cars in the ditch over a half hour time period.<\/p>\n

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

On I-94, the North Dakota Highway Patrol reported Tuesday morning that a semi jack-knifed west of Valley City, entering the ditch near the westbound lane.<\/p>\n

In another incident, west of Valley City a pickup truck lost control and went into the median about a half mile from the semi crash.<\/p>\n

The Highway Patrol says a few vehicles entered the median or ditch on I-94 near Jamestown.<\/p>\n

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

The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports that on Tuesday, at approximately 7:10 a.m., a trooper from the NDHP was assisting a motorist who had slid into the ditch on I-29 near mile marker 139.<\/p>\n

The trooper requested a tow truck for the individual and stayed on scene to provide traffic control. The roadways in the area were icy due to blowing snow. A northbound pickup lost control and slid into the rear end of the patrol car that was parked on the shoulder of the roadway with emergency lights activated.<\/p>\n

This impact pushed the patrol car sideways on the shoulder. A second rear-end crash occurred on the roadway and one of those vehicles slid into the front end of the disabled patrol car.<\/p>\n

The trooper was treated and released from Altru Hospital. The other drivers involved were not injured.<\/p>\n

The crash is currently under investigation by the Grand Forks Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports an accident on Highway 281 south, about 3:30-p.m. Tuesday involved two pickups, one hauling a large grain auger.<\/p>\n

84 year old William Noot, of Marion, was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado, towing a grain auger behind him westbound on a gravel township road.<\/p>\n

32 year old Chance Corbell of Jamestown, was driving a 2001 Dodge Ram north accompanied by passenger Stacey Hicks, 30, of Brookings, S.D.<\/p>\n

The report says, Noot stopped at a stop sign at the township road’s intersection with U.S. 281 and then pulled out in front of Corbell, whose vehicle struck Noot’s.<\/p>\n

The grain auger disconnected from its towing unit, rolled over onto its side and was severely damaged, and it and the two pickups came to rest across the northbound and southbound lanes.<\/p>\n

Traffic was diverted for about a half hour for both lanes of Highway 281.<\/p>\n

All three people in the collision were wearing seat belts.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Ambulance transported Hicks to Jamestown Regional Medical Center, where she was treated for minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.<\/p>\n

Noot was cited for failing to yield at a stop intersection.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Lt. Mitch Brecto says, the Jamestown Salvation Army is $65,000 short of its Christmas campaign goal.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown Salvation Army is hoping that the Lions Club will take a bite out of the charities fundraising deficit on Wednesday, Dec 18, when the group will match kettles up to $5,000.<\/p>\n

Lt. Brecto says, “We appreciate not only the matching money but the fact that the Lions Club members will be putting in 16 hours of bell ringing on the 18th<\/sup> to boot.”<\/p>\n

In a typical day $1,200 is raised in Jamestown kettles. “Wednesday could make a significant difference for us but we could still use some help covering the bell ringing hours.”<\/p>\n

According to Brecto, getting bell ringers has been even harder than raising funds.<\/p>\n

It isn’t too late to volunteer. Kettles will be out until Christmas eve. To volunteer call (701) 252-0290.<\/p>\n

About The Salvation Army<\/p>\n

(CSi)Valley City State University has received a $2.5 million gift to the VCSU Foundation from the estate of Leonard and Marjorie (Dreis) Wright of Mukilteo, Wash.<\/p>\n

The gift\u2014the largest in VCSU history\u2014will be applied to the scholarship fund at VCSU.<\/p>\n

VCSU President, Steven Shirley says, “We will be forever thankful to the Wrights for their outstanding generosity and their commitment to education. Their gift is clearly a gift that will keep on giving, touching the lives of future generations of VCSU students.”<\/p>\n

The Wrights\u2019 gift to VCSU was facilitated in part through their connection with Phil Mueller of Valley City, a 1968 Valley City State alumnus who serves on the Valley City State Foundation Board. Mueller, the nephew of Leonard Wright, spent several of his college summers working for the Wrights in Alaska and maintained contact with them throughout their lives.<\/p>\n

A Dazey, N.D., native, Marjorie Wright attended VCSU, then known as Valley City State Teacher\u2019s College, and became a teacher.<\/p>\n

Wright married Leonard Wright in 1945, and the couple moved to Alaska. Marjorie Wright taught for many years in Alaska before joining her husband\u2019s business, Badger Construction, which prospered with work on construction projects associated with the Alaska oil pipeline.<\/p>\n

In retirement the Wrights moved from Alaska to the U.S. mainland, traveling widely and making many return trips to the Valley City area to visit family and friends. On Leonard Wright\u2019s death in 2007, Marjorie moved to Washington. She died at the age of 91 on April 7, 2013, in Mukilteo.<\/p>\n

VCSU executive director of university advancement, Larry Robinson says “Leonard and Marjorie Wright were very successful business people, and the foresight they had in making the arrangements for this generous gift to Valley City State shows they did not forget their North Dakota roots.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Public School Board will work together on a salary schedule with step increases for the 2014-2015 school year.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Public Schools will propose administrators receive a 4 percent salary increase for this 2013-2014 school year.<\/p>\n

School Board President, Roger Haut says that will occur after the first of the year.<\/p>\n

The meeting was the second and final contract negotiations meeting with school administrators for the 2013-2014, school year, and it was also the first time the administration has negotiated as a group with the School Board.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 The James River Valley Library System Director, Joseph Rector, made\u00a0a request to the County Commission at its meeting, Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Currently JRVLS, operates the Stutsman County and Alfred Dickey libraries, leases space in\u00a0 the former location of\u00a0 the senior center,\u00a0for the county library and the bookmobile.<\/p>\n

Rector said the JRVLS board would like to lease the entire building while the board looks for sites for a new library.<\/p>\n

Rector says the biggest thing we\u2019re looking for is stability on our part so we can plan,” The County Commission is considering selling the building, pending resolving easement issues.<\/p>\n

A change in zoning is also needed.<\/p>\n

Rector said having the JRVLS lease the rest of the county-owned building would alleviate any concerns about the county library having to move out of the building.<\/p>\n

\u00a0County Commssioners also approved a letter of support for the U.S. Department of Transportation to accept the bid of SkyWest Airlines to provide commercial passenger service to Jamestown Regional Airport starting April 1, 2014.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown City Council’s Finance and Legal Committee, Monday, recommended on a 4-1 vote sending a letter of support for SkyWest.<\/p>\n

January 6, 2014 the deadline for public comment on the two bids.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the sprinkler system in the 22-story building put out the flames before firefighters arrived shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It happened Nov. 12 at Mister Money Pawn Shop at 1613 East Main Avenue.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The small North Dakota town of Leith is moving to condemn and demolish the home of a white supremacist who has tried to take over the town but has instead ended up jailed on felony terrorizing charges.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mayor Ryan Schock says Leith is condemning Craig Cobb’s home because Cobb has missed a 30-day deadline to install water and sewer service. Schock says City Attorney Thomas Kelsch is putting the paperwork together. Kelsch didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The girlfriend of a man who’s jailed with Cobb still lives in the home, with three children. Schock says she’ll be evicted – just like anyone else would be in a similar situation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A telephone listing for the woman couldn’t be found, and no one has been answering Cobb’s cellphone.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota Timberwolves star forward Kevin Love brought a Range Rover full of coats to the Salvation Army in Northeast Minneapolis yesterday as part of his sixth annual winter coat drive. Love personally packed his vehicle with dozens of coats and got some help unloading them from some of the children who will receive them. The Timberwolves say more than 4,500 coats have been donated this season, the largest number since he started the drive six years ago. Today is the final day of the drive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CLEVELAND (AP) – Cavaliers guard Dion Waiters is denying an Internet report he has asked the team to deal him. The Cavs’ second-leading scorer said before last night’s game with Portland that he’s happy and comfortable in Cleveland and was surprised at the latest rumors. The trade talk involving the second-year guard began last month when reports surfaced Waiters was involved in a confrontation with teammates following a 29-point loss in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

BALTIMORE (AP) – A person familiar with the contract says the Baltimore Orioles and free agent closer Grant Balfour have agreed to a two-year,\u00a0 $15 million contract, pending a physical. Balfour went 1-3 with 38 saves in 41 opportunities with Oakland last season. He fills the void left by the trade of closer Jim Johnson, who was dealt to Oakland this month because Baltimore didn’t want to pay him around $10 million per season.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – At least two people have a big jackpot coming their way this morning. Lottery officials say two winning tickets were sold for last night’s Mega Millions drawing. One of the winners was sold at a gift shop in San Jose, Calif. The state lottery spokesman says tickets were being sold at 25,000 per minute across California leading up to the drawing. The jackpot had reached $636 million, but officials say the surge in sales likely pushed it even higher.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress is close to sending President Barack Obama a two-year spending plan. The Senate is expected to pass the bipartisan budget deal sometime today. The measure would restore $63 billion scheduled to be automatically cut from the operating budgets of the Pentagon and some domestic agencies. The money would be replaced by things such as higher airline security fees and a requirement that new federal workers pay more toward their pensions.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s latest approval ratings on foreign policy are better than his ratings for most domestic issues, but overall it’s still only 49 percent. An Associated Press-GfK poll suggests a majority of Americans want the president to pull troops out of Afghanistan faster than he’s doing. Sixty percent of respondents do approve of the preliminary deal between Iran and six global powers to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But many express doubt it will lead to concrete results.

Secretary of State John Kerry flew to central Tacloban (tahk-LOH’-bahn) city today, where he was overwhelmed by the landscape of wrecked villages. Kerry calls the scale of the devastation “stunning.” The new food aid, shelter materials, water and other supplies he’s announced brings the total U.S. assistance package to $86 million.
