Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Council met this morning at 8-O\u2019Clock in Special Session on Friday, morning at City Hall. All members were present.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

RESOLUTIONS:<\/p>\n

Council Members approved the final payment to Nill Construction on the Jamestown City Hall Cooling Tower Project, in the amount of $13,324.65.<\/p>\n

The City Council considered a previously tabled item and discussed the request from the JSDC for $88,267 from the Economic Development Fund for roof replacement on the Economic Development Center building, with the City Share to be $81,000 and paid from the City Sales Tax Fund.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce will pay 18- percent of the costs, also located in the building.<\/p>\n

The Stutsman County Commission has approved the county\u2019s share of funding.<\/p>\n

The Council Members voted unanimously to approved the request, and Greenberg Roofing will perform the work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors has unanimously approved participating in a tax incentive for the planned CHS nitrogen fertilizer plant at Spiritwood.<\/p>\n

The annual incentive payment by the JSDC to CHS totals $4.7 million over 20 years and is about the amount CHS would have been eligible for as a New Jobs Incentive Fund loan from the JSDC. That loan would have been repaid to the JSDC from the North Dakota income tax withheld from employees at CHS.<\/p>\n

The JSDC will pay $235,000 each year for 20 years to CHS as a rebate on the $3.235 million payment in lieu of taxes CHS will make annually. The payment in lieu of taxes amounts to about 44 percent of the full property tax payment.<\/p>\n

Stutsman County will pay 90 percent of the $235,000 with the city of Jamestown covering 10 percent. Collections to the county economic development fund will increase by about $100,000 with the payment in lieu of taxes collection from CHS and tax collections from associated developments such as a natural gas pipeline and an electrical power substation.<\/p>\n

CHS announced last Friday that it\u2019s going ahead with the construction of a $3 billion plant to produce nitrogen farm fertilizer at Spiritwood.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to begin this fall, and the plant is expected to begin operations in the first half of 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Frontier Villiage Board of Directors has approved a proposal to install drain tile around two buildings in the Village.<\/p>\n

The project entails drain tiling installed around Eldridge Hall and Mary\u2019s House.<\/p>\n

The cost of the project is estimaged at $2,500, with $900 of that covering the cost of materials.<\/p>\n

The board hopes to have the projeced completed by freeze up.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The University of Jamestown has again received the highest ranking of all North Dakota institutions in any category of U.S. News and World Report\u2019s “Best Colleges 2015” edition.<\/p>\n

For the eighth consecutive year, the University of Jamestown is ranked in the top tier of Best Regional Colleges in the “Best Colleges 2015” rankings released Sept. 9th.<\/p>\n

President Robert S. Badal, says “Jamestown College was the first North Dakota college or university to reach the top tier, and now as a University, we remain the top-ranked North Dakota institution of higher learning among all categories.\u3000 We are pleased to be named as one of the top 37 schools in the Midwest.”<\/p>\n

U.S. News\u2019 “Best Colleges” is the most recognized and popular of all college rankings. The report evaluates colleges and universities annually by assessing criteria such as peer assessment, graduation rate, student\/faculty ratios, class size, alumni giving, and student testing scores. Categories are Regional Colleges, Regional Universities, National Universities and National Liberal Arts Colleges.<\/p>\n

In addition to being named to the top tier of “Best Colleges 2015” by U.S. News and World Report, the University of Jamestown (listed as Jamestown College) was recently named a “Best in the Midwest” college once again by Princeton Review.<\/p>\n

Established in 1883, the University of Jamestown is a private, liberal arts university granting bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, and bachelor of science in nursing degrees as well as master\u2019s degrees in education and a Fargo-based doctor of physical therapy degree. The University of Jamestown offers more than 40 areas of study. With the Jamestown Journey to Success, emphasis is placed not only on preparing students academically in their chosen areas of study, but also on preparing students through an experience that is student-centered and integrates the liberal arts with sound professional programs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota health officials say a rabid kitten purchased at a Minot pet store was the sole cat in the litter with the disease.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Health officials say the rabid cat was sold at Amy’s Pet Parade last month and was part of a litter of six that was anonymously dropped off.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the remaining five kittens were located and have tested negative for rabies.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rabies is a viral infection that can be transmitted through bites and saliva exposure to open cuts and wounds, eyes or mouth. It causes swelling of the brain and can be fatal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set at $2,500 for a Bismarck man accused of hitting another man with a chain.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a022-year-old Alexander Schultz was charged Thursday with felony aggravated assault.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Shultz was at a home on Wednesday and allegedly hit the homeowner with a chain when he was asked to leave.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say the victim suffered bruising and “two half-inch circles of open skin.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set for a Bismarck man accused of luring a minor by computer.
\n\u00a0
\n32-year-old Clifford Moody was charged Thursday with felony luring a minor by computer. He also faces misdemeanor charges of criminal attempt and possession of prohibited materials.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say Moody shared several sexually explicit photos of himself to what he believed was a 14-year-old girl.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena says Moody chatted online with the undercover officer over a period of several months beginning in April.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police arrested Moody at 2:30 a.m. on Thursday when he attempted to meet up with the officer.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEN’-jum) says North Dakota has joined 38 other states in urging the Federal Communications Commission to better protect people from telemarketing and scam calls.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The states want the FCC to allow phone carriers to use existing call-blocking technology to better protect their customers from unwanted calls.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the technology allows carriers to identify and block unwelcome sales calls at their customers’ request. But some carriers are reluctant to use it because of uncertainty about federal law.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the attorneys general are asking for a formal opinion on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Federal agriculture officials say North Dakota’s soybean crop is poised to reach a record level.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The National Agriculture Statistics Service says soybeans are forecast to reach 196 million bushels, based on September 1st conditions. That’s up 42 percent from last year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The service says a record 5.95 million acres of soybeans should be harvested, an increase of 29 percent over a year ago. Average yield is predicted to be 33 bushels per acre, up 3 bushels from 2013.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The nation’s corn and soybean farmers will harvest by far the largest crops ever this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Thursday in a new report.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bigger crops have been expected this year as adequate rain and cool temperatures made for favorable growing conditions, but the new estimates far surpass previous records.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corn farmers are expected to harvest nearly 14.4 billion bushels of corn, up from last year’s 13.9 billion bushel record. The 171.7 bushels per acre yield is significantly higher than the previous record set in 2009 of 164.7 bushels per acre. Record yields will be set in 18 states, the USDA said.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Despite the strong forecast, concerns have grown in recent days that early cold weather is creeping into the upper Midwest and some crops are maturing later this year. Temperatures below freezing could slow or stop crops from reaching full maturity and affect the harvest.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The budget for the oil boomtown of Williston has increased nearly fivefold in just three years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Williston Herald reports the city commission passed a record $250 million budget for 2015 on Tuesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The budget has grown rapidly in recent years to help the town cope with massive population growth resulting from booming oil production.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The city’s budget was just $53 million in 2012. The budget was $20 million in 2000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roads account for $86 million of the 2015 budget. Nearly $46.5 million will go toward chipping away at the city’s $140 million debt. Another $48 million is appropriated for water and sewer.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Williston’s population was just 14,716 in the 2010 census but tens of thousands of people have moved to the area since then.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo’s deputy mayor says he has quit his job as surgeon at a local hospital to dedicate more time to city government.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 KFGO radio reports that Tim Mahoney’s share of the work has increased while Mayor Dennis Walaker has been undergoing treatment for kidney cancer. He says he plans to go into private practice and that will give him more flexibility with his schedule.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mahoney had been a general and heart surgeon at Essentia Health.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 65-year-old Mahoney was first elected to the city commission in 2005 and was re-elected to another term in the June election.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mahoney says he talks with Walaker every day and the mayor is doing “much better” in his recovery.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota State University study cited by public officials in hearings on rail shipment delays has been withdrawn as an official publication of the university.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The report by the department of agribusiness and economics was done at the request of North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp (HYT’-kamp). North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple (DAHL’-rimp-ul) highlighted numbers from the study in his testimony before National Surface Transportation Board last week in Fargo.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 William Wilson, a professor in the department, said Thursday that there’s “nothing radically wrong” with the report, but it was done on short notice and included a couple of assumptions that were “probably not appropriate or defendable.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wilson says several senators are doing “their own back of the envelope calculating” on the impact of the delays, but the issue deserves serious study.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BALTIMORE (AP) – Playing three days after running back Ray Rice was released, the Ravens got a pair of touchdown passes from Joe Flacco (FLAHK’-oh) and rolled past the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 26-6 last night. Bernard Pierce took over for Rice to gain 96 yards on 22 carries as part of a ground game that finished with 157 yards.

\n\u00a0\u00a0LOS ANGELES (AP) – The debut of CBS’ “Thursday Night Football” broadcast was revised because of controversy surrounding the video of Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancee unconscious. That’s according to CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The debut game, the Ravens’ 26-6 win over Pittsburgh, eliminated a track of Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna. Other “high-energy” elements and a comedic one also were being dropped.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McManus says the changes were made to give the game coverage a more “subdued” tone and journalistic approach.

\u00a0PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) – A South African judge has ruled that double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius be granted bail after finding him not guilty of murder but convicting him of a lesser charge in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius showed no emotion as he stood in his dark suit with his hands crossed in front of him. He was hugged by relatives after the verdicts. His eventual sentence could range from a suspended sentence and a fine to as much as 15 years in prison for culpable homicide.
