FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2013 A Jamestown-based company has agreed to let federal inspectors have unfettered access to a sand and gravel mine that is the subject of workplace safety complaints.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Labor filed a lawsuit against Northern Excavating Co. last month accusing the company of hindering inspection efforts.<\/p>\n

Court documents say workers have complained to the Mine Safety and Health Administration about the lack of protective equipment and other violations.<\/p>\n

An order signed Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson says the company reserves its right to challenge any citations, but its business manager will remain inside the office or leave the premises during any inspections.<\/p>\n

Defense attorney Maurice McCormick was not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n

ST. PAUL, Minn. (CSi)\u00a0 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, will decrease outflows into the Sheyenne River at Baldhill Dam, located northeast of Valley City, ND, to around 50 cubic feet per second (or cfs) on Friday, Aug. 8.<\/p>\n

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (CSi)\u2013 U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Wednesday brought the top U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) official overseeing conservation compliance to a Valley City Roundtable, to call on him to improve conservation compliance requirements in the 2014 Farm Bill so that they work better for North Dakota\u2019s farmers.<\/p>\n

Heitkamp also wanted USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Robert Bonnie to hear directly from farmers about how conservation compliance requirements are burdening them.<\/p>\n

During the drafting of the 2014 Farm Bill, Heitkamp \u2013 a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture \u2013 played a key role in eliminating the most harmful provisions associated with a new policy to require conservation compliance for crop insurance which would have seriously burdened farmers, and she continues to push for further changes. Prior to the passage of the 2014 Farm Bill, farmers already had to comply with significant conservation compliance requirements as a condition of participation in the farm program. The new requirements, which Heitkamp successfully opposed, would have only added to the burden. Wednesday, joined by North Dakota farmers, she asked Under Secretary Bonnie to take special attention as the Administration implements the key changes Heitkamp helped make to the conservation compliance program in the 2014 Farm Bill so they better support farmers as Heitkamp intended.<\/p>\n

Heitkamp says, “With conservation compliance tied to the crop insurance program in this year\u2019s Farm Bill, it\u2019s absolutely critical that we make sure North Dakota\u2019s farmers can continue to be successful. As we worked on the 2014 Farm Bill, I fought these damaging requirements, successfully eliminating some of the worst provisions for our farmers. And today, Under Secretary Bonnie had the chance to hear firsthand from our farmers, just as I have, about the challenges they face in complying with these rules. Agriculture is a driver of North Dakota\u2019s economy and we have to make sure the Farm Bill and its requirements are implemented in a way that works best for farmers in our state and throughout the country.”<\/p>\n

North Dakota farmers have faced serious challenges complying with existing conservation requirements related to wetlands, which prevent farmers from moving water on their farmland without prior approval from USDA. Additionally, North Dakota farmers have dealt with uncertainty regarding what constitutes a wetland under the conservation compliance policy in wet seasons where water temporarily pools on a farm. This uncertainty makes it difficult for farmers to manage water that accumulates during wet seasons. If a farmer drains excess water in violation of conservation compliance, he or she may be subject to heavy payback penalties \u2013 with the potential to put growers out of business.<\/p>\n

In addition to removing the most harmful provisions in the 2014 Farm Bill associated with conservation compliance, Heitkamp also made several improvements to the conservation compliance requirement. Specifically, she worked to make sure the law is forward-looking; confirmed that it doesn\u2019t hurt growers who unintentionally violate the rules of the program, but instead helps them comply with the law; and guaranteed that it provides a realistic timeframe for growers to reach compliance before they are penalized in the event that a violation is found on the farm. She continues to push for further changes to the program to better stand up for farmers.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/b><\/a> to view a letter Heitkamp gave Under Secretary Bonnie today outlining the strong action she took to address conservation compliance in the Farm Bill.<\/p>\n

Since the Farm Bill was signed into law, Heitkamp has also worked to make sure it is implemented properly. In the first month after the Farm Bill passed, she was successful in leading a bipartisan effort to get U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to expedite the new livestock disaster programs to help ranchers devastated by an unexpected fall blizzard<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>Heitkamp has also led an effort to support farmers who are prevented from planting crops<\/b><\/a> due to adverse weather, as part of the newly-created safety net program in the Farm Bill.<\/p>\n

The Roundtable was held at Valley City State University, at Froemke Auditorium, Foss Music Hall.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is hosting a Widow\u2019s Retreat September 19th -21st<\/sup>, 2014 at Maryvale Retreat Center in Valley City, ND. The weekend will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 19th and concludes after a brunch on Sunday, September 21st. The cost of the retreat is $125.00 and includes 2 nights lodging in a private room, 5 meals and all supplies.<\/p>\n

In Genevieve Davis Ginsburg\u2019s book, Widow to Widow, she states “Widowhood is a club no one elects to join.\u2026 Only another widow knows what it feels like to become a widow. \u2026 Most widows are comforted and reassured when they can connect with others in the same human struggle.” These quotes describe the theme of the JAGST Widow\u2019s Retreat. Women who have experienced the death of their husbands deal with many emotions, challenges and struggles as they grieve their loss. Although no one can take these struggles away and even though every widow\u2019s experience is unique, spending time with others who have had a similar experience can often help in the journey of grief.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 JAGST members Carol Arnold and Diane Witzig explained that the retreat is an opportunity for widows to immerse themselves in healing with no distractions in a relaxing, supportive and positively charged atmosphere with others who have experienced the loss of a husband. Participants will learn coping skills and about resources that may help during the grieving process.<\/p>\n

Ms Arnold said, the weekend will include special guest speakers, Tracy Johnk, Social Worker at Jamestown Regional Medical Center and Grief Recovery Specialist, Jeanne Putnam from Wahpeton, ND. The weekend will also include a panel of Jamestown Area Grief Support Team members who are widows; time for personal sharing and discussion; a Service of Remembrance and workshops on journaling, self-nurturing\/pampering and understanding the grief journey. There will be time for informal interaction among those attending and time for private reflection while walking the beautiful Maryvale grounds.<\/p>\n

Ms. Witzig added space is limited to 12, with Registrations due by August 25, 2014, on a first come first served basis.<\/p>\n

For a brochure and registration form, please call Eileen at 701-251-1280 and leave a message that includes your name and mailing address.<\/p>\n

For more information, please call Carol at 701-320-3801 or Kathy at 701-952-8001 or 701-659-8001.<\/p>\n

\u00a0GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A jury has found a Michigan man guilty of stabbing his friend to death at an oilfield crew camp in North Dakota.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nRyan Anderson, of Iron River, Michigan, was convicted Wednesday of killing 32-year-old Christopher King, also of Iron River, in March 2013. Anderson had pleaded not guilty to murder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say the attack was part of an alcohol-fueled dispute at a crew camp between Ray and Tioga, northeast of Williston. A defense attorney argued that Anderson had acted in self-defense.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anderson faces life in prison without parole.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anderson’s trial earlier was moved to the eastern North Dakota city of Grand Forks after his attorney successfully argued he couldn’t get a fair trial in Williams County because of extensive news coverage of the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger says the sponsoring committee on Wednesday delivered 403 petitions that the group said contained about 16,500 signatures. Supporters need 13,452 valid signatures to get the proposal on the November 4th general election ballot.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger’s office has until September 10th to determine whether there are enough valid signatures to force a public vote.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Supporters of mandating a post-Labor Day start to the school year say it would give families more time to enjoy summer weather, and also boost tourism. Opponents say many students are participating in fall sports before Labor Day anyway, and a later start would push the end of the school year past Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota oil officials presented state regulators an industry-funded report Wednesday that says Bakken oil is no more dangerous to transport by rail than other crudes and fuels.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Petroleum Council’s report is contrary to a federal assessment that says Bakken oil may be more flammable than other crudes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The reports come after a string of fiery accidents involving Bakken crude.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Industry consultant Dennis Sutton told the North Dakota Industrial Commission the two reports agree that characteristics of Bakken oil are similar. But he says the reports reached different conclusions on its volatility.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gov. Jack Dalrymple says he intends to question U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on the federal report when the men visit Bismarck on Friday for a national energy policy conference.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The executive chairman of BNSF Railway is scheduled to meet with agriculture producers in the Red River Valley about the backlog of grain cars in advance of the harvest.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Public Service Commission sent a letter to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board earlier this week warning that “conditions are ripe for significant problems” with the 2014 crop.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The PSC cited a July 25 survey showing that BNSF had more than 2,250 overdue cars and a report that Canadian Pacific’s customers were waiting an average of 11 weeks for cars. Commissioners say they are “confused and troubled” by reports that more than half of the grain hoppers from both railroads are offline.

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) – Liberia’s president has declared a national state of emergency and the country’s military forces are now enforcing quarantines of communities infected by Ebola. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has said that some civil liberties may be suspended as authorities try to stamp out the disease blamed for more than 900 deaths in four West African countries this year. Similar efforts are underway in eastern areas of neighboring Sierra Leone after officials there launched an effort to keep those sick with Ebola in isolation.\u00a0
