Jamestown (CSi) \u00a0The Jamestown City Engineer\u2019s Office reports that Fourth Avenue East viaduct\u00a0reopened <\/strong>\u00a0Monday morning about 11-O-Clock.<\/p>\n

Sediment (mud) was deposited on the street at the underpass,\u00a0from Saturday\u2019s torrential \u00a0rain, leading to its closure until city crews cleaned the surface.<\/p>\n

The slick surface had caused a male operator of a motorcycle to lose control of his bike, there.<\/p>\n

He and his female passenger were taken to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment\u00a0\u00a0of their injuries.<\/p>\n

The accident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jamestown (CSi) \u00a0The Jamestown Police Department is advising motorists that the\u00a0Fourth Avenue East viaduct is CLOSED<\/strong> until sometime Monday.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Sid Mann says at 7:02 p.m., \u00a0sediment (mud) from Saturday\u2019s rain had caused a male operator of a motorcycle to lose control.<\/p>\n

He and his female passenger were taken to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment\u00a0\u00a0of their injuries.<\/p>\n

The viaduct is scheduled to be re-opened on Monday after street crews have removed the sediment.<\/p>\n

The accident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

The torrential rain event occurred during a weather system that passed through the area between about 4-p.m. an 10-p.m.\u00a0 Saturday. Three inches of rain falling between 4-p.m., and 5-p.m.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service Office in Bismarck\u00a0 cancelled the flash flood warning for east central Stutsman County, on Saturday\u00a0 at 10:30-p.m.<\/p>\n

Among flooded and closed streets was the viaduct on Fourth Avenue East, and the Third Street area between Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue Southeast.<\/p>\n

\"FloodAug16SEJmst\"<\/a>Jamestown Police reported that a family had to leave their home Saturday \u00a0after a basement wall collapsed on Third Street Southeast between Fifth and Seventh Avenues.<\/p>\n

Saturday, police reported cars stalled on Jamestown streets and a tree down in the 900 block of 2nd Street Northeast, with 3-6-inches of water over streets.<\/p>\n

Late Saturday afternoon to late evening Saurday the\u00a0CSi weather computer, at Historic Franklin in downtown Jamestown,\u00a0 recorded 5.39-inches of rain.<\/p>\n

From the Jamestown Salvation Army…<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Jamestown (CSi) \u00a0The city of Jamestown doesn\u2019t shy away from a good challenge and we\u2019re certainly faced with one today \u2013 The Jamestown Salvation Army food shelf is at a record low.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis summer we are faced with a greater challenge as more families need more help to get them by,\u201d explained Lt. Mitch Brecto, Salvation Army leader.<\/p>\n

For the months of June and July we gave out 21,000 lbs. of food with only 10,000 lbs. worth of donations coming in.\u00a0 As a result, we\u2019ve had to purchase an unexpected amount of food from the food bank, Walmart and other places.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are so thankful for the food from the community, businesses, churches, daily bread program, Hugo\u2019s and Pizza Hut, but unfortunately it\u2019s just not enough,\u201d Brecto said.<\/p>\n

While the economy has rebounded, Brecto said many people\u2019s paychecks haven\u2019t, resulting in a lot of families with children coming into the food shelf. Families who normally rely on school lunch programs to help feed their kids are now having a difficult time coming up with enough to get everybody fed through summer break.<\/p>\n

The best gift to give the food shelf is money.\u00a0 The Jamestown Salvation Army is able to tap into a network of low-cost food banks where pallets of food can be purchased for as little as 12 cents per pound and milk can be purchased for less than $2 per gallon.<\/p>\n

\u201cA gift of just $10 will go much further for us than purchasing $25 worth of groceries on your own thanks to our networks,\u201d said Brecto.<\/p>\n

That said the food shelves at the Army are so dramatically low any help is greatly appreciated.\u00a0 You can donate in person at 320 1st<\/sup> Ave. N. in Jamestown or online at SalvationArmyNorth.org\/Jamestown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valley City (CSi) Plans to break ground for the new Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City is planned this fall.\u00a0 The\u00a0 800-member congregation has decided\u00a0thst church will be rebuilt across the street to the east from the downtown lot.<\/p>\n

An arson fire on in October of 2013 destroyed the former church building, and \u00a0caused an estimated $2.5 million in damage.<\/p>\n

The church is working with Moorhead, based architects YHR Partners on the new church\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

Since last year\u2019s fire, services have been held at the church\u2019s temporary home, office space in southwest Valley City, a building that houses the Barnes County Sheriff\u2019s Office, the local Canadian Pacific Railway office and the Nielson Insurance Agency.<\/p>\n

Arson suspect\u00a0 25 year old Andrew Michael Miklas, of Valley City, is set to stand trial on August 19.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors plan to try him under the state\u2019s Habitual Offender Statute, allowing for extended sentencing, but a change of plea will be entered on August 25.<\/p>\n

Miklas faces a Class B felony charge of arson, two Class C felonies for burglary, a Class C felony charge for endangering by fire or explosion and a Class B misdemeanor theft of property charge.<\/p>\n

Alleged co-conspirator 19 year old Nicole Ellen Lindermann, of Kathryn, is scheduled for a change of plea on August 25, facing a Class B felony charge of criminal conspiracy, a Class C felony of conspiracy to commit burglary and a Class B misdemeanor charge of theft.<\/p>\n

A Class B felony is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, a Class C misdemeanor is punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, and a Class B misdemeanor is punishable by 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Lindermann and Miklas allegedly committed a burglary at the church during the evening of Oct. 20 or early morning of October 21, 2013 and returned later to set fire to the building to destroy evidence.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Striking workers at the J.R. Simplot Co. potato processing plant in Grand Forks are entering a third week picketing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0The \u00a0workers have rejected the company’s latest contract offer mainly over newly implemented 12-hour shifts.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Union business agent Brian Nowak says the new shifts could easily result in unreasonably long hours.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Simplot spokesperson told the station that the company may move employees working in other U.S. factories to the one in Grand Forks if the strike isn’t settled by full fall production.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nearly 200 union employees walked off the job Aug. 4. The contract disputes also include health care premiums and retirement plan changes.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A downpour didn’t keep North Dakotans from celebrating their state’s 125th anniversary.
\n\u00a0
\nNorth Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple and South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard on Saturday unveiled the pen that President Benjamin Harrison used to sign the Dakotas into statehood in 1889. The pen was on display only for the day.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple told the crowd that the state’s current economic success is rooted in North Dakota’s pioneer spirit, hard work, entrepreneurs and vision.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota legislator from Minot is proposing the city get $1 million in state money to address flood-damaged homes that have been neglected or abandoned in the past three years.<\/p>\n

Rep. Scott Louser says he’s drafted a bill for next year’s Legislature. It would provide upfront money for the city to deal with so-called “zombie homes,” with the costs ultimately being assessed to the property owners. Recouped money would go to the Minot Park District.<\/p>\n

The Souris River in June 2011 swamped more than 4,000 homes, businesses and other structures. Hundreds of nuisance properties remain throughout Minot.<\/p>\n

The City Council earlier this year dedicated $74,000 in sales tax money to the cleanup effort and directed city staff to look for other funding sources.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Northern Crops Institute in Fargo is holding an open house this week to celebrate the completion of an equipment upgrade at its Feed Production Center.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NCI Director Mark Weber says more than three-fourths of the $800,000 cost was paid by commodity groups and private industry. The North Dakota Legislature last year also approved money.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The institute is funded by the states of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, along with commodity groups in those states and Montana. It conducts educational and technical programs to support the region’s agriculture and value-added processing industries by maintaining and expanding markets for northern-grown crops.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The open house is Wednesday afternoon at the institute’s main facility on the North Dakota State University campus and its separate feed center.<\/p>\n

\u00a0STANTON, N.D. (AP) – The superintendent of the only national site in the United States that preserves the homelands of the Northern Plains Indians says it’s time to deal with nature-made threats to the site’s archaeology.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wendy Ross is the superintendent of the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. Ross says erosion, flooding and trees with invasive roots are damaging the site.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ross has begun a management plan to fully detail those threats and how to deal with them. She says stopping the threats could mean bank stabilization on the river and rerouting a county road. Other changes could involve restoring native grasses to the village sites and not mowing or bringing on the herbicides.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Park service archaeologist Jay Sturdevant says the damage in parts of park is severe.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) – Missouri’s governor says his deployment of the National Guard will help “in restoring peace and order” to a suburban St. Louis town torn apart by the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer. Protests over the fatal shooting in Ferguson have included violence for days with little sign of calming despite a curfew.\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) – President Barack Obama has abandoned his Martha’s Vineyard vacation for a couple of days to return to the White House and attend meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers on Iraq and the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. The White House had announced Obama’s plans to return before the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq began and before the shooting of a teen in Ferguson. Part of the decision appears aimed at countering criticism that Obama is vacationing amid foreign and domestic crises.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHICAGO (AP) – Researchers say a 10-year analysis that finds an increase in disabilities among U.S. children may partly reflect more awareness and recognition that conditions, such as autism, require a specific diagnosis to receive special services. The study finds a bigger rise in mental and developmental problems in children from wealthier families but disadvantaged kids still bear a disproportionate burden.
