Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office is warning the public about a high-risk registered sex offender is living in rural Jamestown.<\/p>\n

38 year old Timothy Richard Olpin, also known as Ray Brown, lives at 3450 82nd Avenue, Southeast, Jamestown.<\/p>\n

He is a white male, 6 feet tall, weighing 240 pounds with hazel eyes and gray hair.<\/p>\n

Olpin was convicted of gross sexual imposition in 2000. Authorities said he had sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl on six occasions. He was sentenced in Morton County District Court in North Dakota to six years with five years suspended.<\/p>\n

Olpin was also convicted of third degree sexual assault in 1991. Authorities said at age 16, Olpin molested a 5-year-old boy he was supervising in a church basement. He was given probation in Frederick County Juvenile Court in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Olpin is not on probation and has served the sentence imposed by the court. He is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. The notification is intended for public safety and not to increase fear in the community. The information should also not be used to threaten, assault or intimidate Olpin. Attempts to harass, intimidate or threaten Olpin or his family, landlord or employer will be turned over for prosecution.<\/p>\n

Printed handouts of Olpin\u2019s demographics are available at the Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK (CSi) A small group of North Dakota Army National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Valley City, N.D.-based 231st Brigade Support Battalion (231st BSB) have received an alert notification for possible mobilization. The Soldiers are organized into a specialized Logistical Support Element (LSE) designated as the 231st BSB LSE.<\/p>\n

If mobilized, approximately 15 Soldiers assigned to the 231st BSB LSE are expected to serve in support of Operation Enduring Freedom Afghanistan late in 2014. This would be the first overseas deployment for Soldiers of the 231st BSB since the North Dakota Army National Guard’s peace-keeping mission in Kosovo in 2009-2010.<\/p>\n

North Dakota adjutant general, Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk, says “These expert Army logisticians will provide specialized supply operations support to U.S. and Coalition forces still serving in Afghanistan. If these Soldiers are mobilized, it’s a comfort to know that they can rely on the continued support of their families and employers allowing them to concentrate on their overseas mission.”<\/p>\n

North Dakota Army National Guard units that are currently mobilized overseas include the Bismarck-based 814th Medical Company (Area Support) in Afghanistan and Company C, 2nd Battalion, 285th Aviation Regiment in Kosovo. Another 200 Soldiers with the Grand Forks-based 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment are serving on a yearlong deployment to Washington, D.C., three are serving for a year in Texas as part of the Southwest Border Mission, and two North Dakota Soldiers are serving in Kuwait.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The 2nd ACT Community dinner theater presents the production of Noel Coward’s “Relative Values,” Thursday, March 27 \u2022 Friday, March 28 \u2022 Saturday, March 29, 2014, at 6:00 pm at The Jamestown Arts Center.<\/p>\n

Tickets in advance only, $20 members \/ $25 non-members Payment required at time of reservation. Available at The Arts Center, 115 2nd Street SW, Jamestown, 701-251-2496 Learn more about the 2nd ACT:<\/p>\n

www.jamestownarts.com\/theater<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Relative Values is sponsored by Jamestown Regional Medical Center in honor of its employees.<\/p>\n

Tickets are going fast, so make reservations as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The play is directed by Lori Dorr of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Noel Coward\u2019s Relative Values is a satire of snobbery in all its guises, it deals with the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy.<\/p>\n

The Brittish humor is laced with sarcasm, and double entendre, with innuendo, in the character-driven comedy.<\/p>\n

The play, set in 1952 England is in three acts, and centers around an upper-class Englishman who brings an American actress home as his fianc\u00e9e, much to the dismay of nearly everyone in the house, family and servants alike.<\/p>\n

The story is set in 1952 England, where Nigel, the Earl of Marshwood, woos Hollywood star Miranda Frayle, upsetting both his mother, Countess Felicity of Marshwood, and her former love, fellow Hollywood star Don Lucas.<\/p>\n

Right before the engagement party, Moxie, the Countess\u2019s personal maid and best friend reveals that Miranda is her estranged sister. Crestwell, the Countess\u2019s butler, quickly devises a plan-but an inebriated Lucas\u2019s arrival at Marshwood to try to talk to Miranda causing all chaos to break loose.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show, on CSi Cable 2, Reggie vanBeekom, who plays the family butler, Crestwell, says he based the character on a Brittish explorer, an earlier character he’d developed.<\/p>\n

Also on our show, Chris Sheppard, who plays Felicity, the Countess of Marchwood.<\/p>\n

She portrays the character with an upper-crust British accent.<\/p>\n

She said it helped that the play mostly concerns family and people who know each other well – and many of the actors in the show have worked together in the past.<\/p>\n

The cast includes Krissy Nybo as Alice, Sarah Cole as Mrs. Moxton, Lori Richardson as Lady Hayling, Bill Nybo as Admiral Sir John Hayling, Jack Waters as the Hon. Peter Ingleton, Joel Blaha as Nigel, Earl of Marshwood, Amanda Roecker as Miranda Frayule and Jeff Pratt as Don Lucas.<\/p>\n

The large crew includes assistant directors Melissa Goodrich and Shelly Anderson, with costume design by Carrie Roemmich and Samantha Carlson, set construction by Ken Gilbertson and set design and props by Bonnie Rogers.<\/p>\n

Noel Coward, was an English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time magazine called “a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise.” He virtually invented the concept of “Englishness” for the 20th century.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Valley City (CSi) A permanent flood protection plan for Valley City will soon be in the preliminary plan stage.<\/p>\n

A plan for the entire city will be submitted in May to the State Water Commission and Governor Dalrymple.<\/p>\n

City Commissioner Matt Pedersen says the projected cost for the entire city is at $60 million dollars with the city\u2019s local share at 25 percent or lower.<\/p>\n

He says there is also an effort to reduce the city\u2019s total cost share ratio below the normal 25 percent.<\/p>\n

The cost of the first phase of the project surrounding Valley City State University is estimated at $15 million dollars according to KLJ engineer Chad Petersen.<\/p>\n

Pedersen says positive support to obtain funds is coming from the governor and the State Water Commission.<\/p>\n

Pedersen says another option being discussed is to put before voters, an extension to the city sales tax used to finance the Hi Liner Activity Center which will expire in 2017.<\/p>\n

He says $450,000 collected annually from that sales tax could be used to pay for the project through a long-term low interest loan.<\/p>\n

At Monday\u2019s meeting, Valley City resident Gary Schlegel joined others in their concerned about the direction of the project, including the cost of buyouts and constructing flood walls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Music Boosters will hold a meeting on April 15, 2014 at 5:30 PM to discuss the future of the organization.<\/p>\n

The club is in need of members with three officers stepping down at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

The non-profit Music Boosters supports Jamestown Public School\u2019s music program.<\/p>\n

If residents are interested in serving on the board, they can attend the session or contact Cheyrl McIntyre at Jamestown High School.<\/p>\n

In the past the boosters has raised over $30,000 for the purchase of a Grand Piano, Bass Clarinet, along with International Music Camp Scholarships, Piano Tuning and advertising for beginning band.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Statistics released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis indicated that the state’s personal income grew 7.6 percent in 2013. Utah ranked behind North Dakota with a 4 percent growth.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – The rapid spread of a swine virus is forcing officials in the Dakotas to take extra precautions for pig shows at county and state fairs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus spreads through pig manure. It’s not harmful to humans but is often deadly to piglets.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 South Dakota 4H weigh-in competitions that bring swine together will be cancelled for the season. Student exhibitors will be able to forego their county fair and go to the state fair to avoid swine comingling.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s pork producer trade group earlier lobbied for the suspension of the show pig season. North Dakota will move forward, providing safety recommendations for show attendees.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The virus has been in the country for less than a year and already has a reported effect on the cost of pork.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota is starting to move some B-52 bombers to Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota while runway upgrades are completed at the Minot base.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first bombers were heading south on Wednesday. The military hasn’t said how many, but officials say about 300 personnel will be making the temporary transfer. A similar number of airmen and bombers are being temporarily housed in Guam.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say Ellsworth was chosen as a temporary site because it’s close and has a suitable runway. The South Dakota base houses B-1 bombers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The runway at the Minot base is being shut down on April 1 for the final part of a three-year runway project that carries a $67 million price tag and should wrap up in early October.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota residents are getting back nearly $390,000 as part of a national settlement in an electronic book price-fixing lawsuit.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says the refunds will be in the form of account credits or checks. They will go to consumers who bought certain e-books between April 1, 2010, and May 21, 2012.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The lawsuit was filed by 33 states against Apple Inc. and five of the nation’s six largest e-book publishers. The publishers settled claims against them for a total payment of $166 million.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Apple did not settle and was found at trial last year to have played a central role in a conspiracy to fix prices. A second trial to determine how much it owes will be held in the future.<\/p>\n

MLB…<\/p>\n

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) – The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired right-hander Vance Worley from the Minnesota Twins for cash. Worley was acquired in a trade that sent outfielder Ben Revere to the Philadelphia Phillies before last season and he was the starter on opening day for the Twins. He went 1-5 with a 7.21 ERA in 10 starts for the Twins and spent most of last season at Triple-A-Rochester.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Twins will be phasing in walk-through metal detectors at Target Field starting with their home opener on April 7th. The Twins will start using the security devices at some gates when they open against the Oakland Athletics. It’s part of Major League Baseball’s initiative to have a standardized fan screening system in place at every ballpark by 2015.

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – The Los Angeles Dodgers have knocked the New York Yankees off baseball’s payroll perch, part of an offseason spending spree that has the average salary approaching $4 million for the first time.
\n\u00a0The Dodgers are ending the Yankees’ 15-year streak as baseball’s biggest spenders. The Dodgers have a projected payroll of $235 million, according to study of all major league contracts by The Associated Press. That’s $31 million more than the Yankees’ player payroll.<\/p>\n

NFL…<\/p>\n

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) – Defensive end Jared Allen agreed to a four-year contract with the Chicago Bears on Wednesday.
\n\u00a0The four-time All-Pro spent the last six seasons with Minnesota after four years with Kansas City. He leads the league with 128 1-2 sacks since entering the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick in 2004.<\/p>\n

\u00a0ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – NFL owners have passed a rule allowing referees to consult with director of officiating Dean Blandino and his staff to help determine whether a call should be upheld or overturned. NFL officials said the change should speed up the process. Blandino and other staff will be monitoring the games from league offices in New York, and they will immediately begin reviewing challenges before the referee even gets to his monitor.

\u00a0BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Tuesday was not a good day for Buffalo Bills fans.
\n\u00a0Bills owner and American Football League co-founder Ralph Wilson has died at 95. He was instrumental in the AFL\/NFL merger and watched his team win four consecutive AFC championships from 1990-93 without winning the Super Bowl. Wilson had been in failing health for several years after hip surgery in 2011, two years after he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is expected to undergo surgery following the return of oral cancer. His wife, Jill, says the cancer is aggressive and starting to spread. The 54-year-old former Buffalo Bills star is being treated in New York City. His brother Dan Kelly has told The Associated Press that doctors are leaning toward surgery on Thursday or perhaps April 1.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kelly’s Buffalo doctors said on March 14 the return of the cancer was discovered when he came for follow-up tests after surgery to remove cancerous cells last year.<\/p>\n

They are the first SEC team to go 18-0 in regular season conference games.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) – A satellite scanning the Indian Ocean for the remnants of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has found a debris field containing 122 objects. Malaysia’s defense minister calls it “the most credible lead that we have.” Ships and planes are again searching for the debris today, after stormy seas calmed. Various floating objects have been spotted by planes over the last week, but none were seen on a second pass. That frustration has been repeated several times.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BERLIN (AP) – Air France says a plane carrying 495 passengers and a crew of 22 was diverted on its way from Shanghai to Paris after Russia announced at short notice that part of its airspace was closed for a military exercise. Air France says the detour forced the plane to land in Germany to refuel. It’s not clear whether Russia’s military exercise is linked to the increased troop activity on its western border with Ukraine.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is giving people who’ve started applying for health insurance but aren’t able to finish before the March 31 enrollment deadline extra time. The Department of Health and Human Services says the people will be considered “in line” and the administration will be ready to help them, either online or over the phone. The White House has set a goal of 6 million signed up through the new online markets.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WAREGEM, Belgium (AP) – President Barack Obama is paying tribute to American troops who died a century ago in World War I. Obama has laid a wreath at a memorial at Flanders Field in Belgium. That’s where hundreds of fallen troops who helped liberate Belgium are buried. Obama says the war’s lessons are still relevant, pointing to ongoing efforts to rid Syria of chemical weapons, which were also used at in the area Obama visited.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Jordan for a meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. Peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis are approaching an April 30 deadline for a settlement. The Palestinians have threatened to walk away before then unless Israel releases a batch of prisoners, as it agreed to, by March 29. The State Department says Kerry will talk with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the next few days.
