Valley City (CSi) \u2014 \u00a0Barnes County State\u2019s Attorney Carl Martineck says<\/p>\n

there\u2019s insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges against a driver whose pickup truck fatally struck a 92-year-old woman in a Valley City crosswalk.<\/p>\n

Investigators ruled out cellphone use, speed, alcohol and drugs as factors in the crash.<\/p>\n

Phone records showed that the driver 32-year-old\u00a0 Robert Mittleider, used his phone about 20 minutes before the crash and again over an hour afterward but not at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n

Valley City Police reportedthe crash happened about on Jun 22, 2014, 6:20 p.m. as Rita Weber was crossing Sixth Street Northwest. Mittleider was driving north on Central Avenue North, and when he turned left to go west on Sixth Street, he did not see Weber walking south in the crosswalk and hit her, according to police.<\/p>\n

Weber, of Valley City, died June 30th at a Fargo hospital.<\/p>\n

Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson says Mittleider could either be cited for making an improper turn, failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk or both.<\/p>\n

Each citation would require Mittleider to pay a fine of about $50.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Airport, Manager is about to begin a new career adventure, in California.<\/p>\n

Matthew Leitner will resign his Jamestown position, trading it for managing three airports in northwest California.<\/p>\n

Leitner\u2019s replacement has not been named yet, as the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority is seeking Leitner\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Airport continues to see the recent high boarding numbers following the June 2014 affiliation with United Exprress\/SkyWest.<\/p>\n

July 2014 saw the most boarding\u2019s for any July at the Airport with roughly 652 passengers, and August continued with 331 total passengers.<\/p>\n

Under Leitner\u2019s leadership, in cooperation with the Regional Airport Authority, community leaders, and state and federal officials, along with the North Dakota Congressional delegation, United Express\/SkyWest agreed this year to be Jamestown\u2019s Essential Air Service carrier, with a two year contract.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Commission has rejected a bid from Richard Geigle of Jamestown to purchase the former James River Senior and Community Center and Stutsman County Library building for $40,000.<\/p>\n

Commissioner David Schwartz said he would like to see the county look at moving the North Dakota State University Extension office and possibly the Stutsman County Weed Board into the building.<\/p>\n

Unanimously approved was a bid of $2.69 million from Guthmiller Earthmoving Inc. of Medina to build a construction road for the CHS nitrogen fertilizer plant at Spiritwood.<\/p>\n

The roadway improves a section of Stutsman County Road\/Highway 62 and creates a new road that will become 34th Street Southeast. CHS will pay the cost of the project directly.<\/p>\n

Commissioners approved a request from Central Valley Health District to begin tearing down the buildings and clean up the property that housed the former Ace Hardware store on U.S. Highway 281 South.<\/p>\n

Residents have made complaints about the property and surrounding buildings, located on Highway 281 South, that have fallen into disrepair.<\/p>\n

CVHD is also concerned about vermin, and chemicals and paint on the property.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, United Way Secretary, Dana Wallace who also handles Publicity, said, Coborn\u2019s has partnered with the United Way to help put on a bratwurst and hotdog stand with all proceeds from food sales going the United Way.<\/p>\n

The 19 local United Way agencies will be there with fun activities for the kids and to tell the community more about what they do for Stutsman County.<\/p>\n

Everyone will be asked to sit on the field so bring your lawn chairs and blankets to get comfortable.<\/p>\n

The United Way Campaign Goal for 2014-15 is $210,000. 99% of the money donated to the United Way stays here in Jamestown and Stutsman County.<\/p>\n

Ms. Wallace said the United Way was able to achieve their ambitious goal last year and the Jamestown community has been incredible over the last few years, and the United Way believes that support will continue. The Jamestown community has a greater need for services, which is the reason the campaign goal was raised this year to help meet the needs for the services in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown United Way has moved toward the Community Impact model. This model will allow the showing community\u2014through agency collaboration\u2014how the United Way impacts the community.<\/p>\n

United Way\u2019s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life including:<\/p>\n

Education \u2013 Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential<\/p>\n

Income \u2013 Promoting Financial Stability and Independence<\/p>\n

Health \u2013 Improving People\u2019s Health<\/p>\n

The United Way currently helps to fund 19 agencies some of which include: Buffalo Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, Boy & Girl Scouts, Camp Rokiwan, Safe Shelter, RSVP, James River Family Fitness, Arts After School which is a program for children within the Jamestown Fine Arts Association, and Consumer Credit Counseling.<\/p>\n

The Board consists of an 18 member Board of Directors. This year the United Way President is Megan Aldinger, 1st<\/sup> Vice President Carla Edinger, 2nd<\/sup> Vice President Jessica Haak, Treasurer, Rebecca Kercher, and Secretary\/Publicity, Dana Wallace.<\/p>\n

Board members can serve two consecutive three year terms and then are required to sit out, so the board is always looking for new members who bring new ideas and energy to the board.<\/p>\n

The United Way\u2019s theme this year is, “United We Can.”<\/p>\n

Ms. Wallace added that the community can make a difference, and change lives by coming to the Kick-Off Event, and continue on by attending some of the upcoming United Way events.<\/p>\n

The past two campaigns have greatly exceeded expectations and the citizens of Jamestown and Stutsman County have been so supportive. The goal has gotten larger this year, but officials hope to not only meet it, but exceed it.<\/p>\n

Other events or fundraisers in the coming months, include:\u00a0 a bake sale at the Buffalo Mall and holding the bowling tournament again this year.<\/p>\n

There will be the New Year\u2019s Eve Masquerade Ball at the Gladstone Inn & Suites this year.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Four of the measures on the November ballot were placed by the Legislature. Four others are initiated measures.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger says $8,000 was appropriated to review the measures. But he says the cost likely will be about $15,000.
\n\u00a0

Martinez hit a three-run home run to give Detroit a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth. Trevor Plouffe drew a one-out walk against Joe Nathan and was replaced by pinch-runner Doug Bernier.

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL Players Association has appealed Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension. The former Baltimore Ravens running back was originally handed a two-game suspension in July under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after he was charged with assault following a Feb. 15 altercation with his then-fiancee in a casino elevator. The league lengthened the suspension once they saw videotape of the altercation last week.

In response, the league has issued a statement saying: “We understand. We are taking action and there will be much more to come.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama could soon have the authority he asked Congress to give him to order training and arming of moderate rebels in Syria as a counterweight to Islamic State militants. The House is likely to approve the request today though some lawmakers are still concerned about who is getting arms and whether administration plans go far enough.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BEIRUT (AP) – The militant Islamic State group has issued a video warning to Washington today saying if the U.S. sends ground troops to Iraq there will be fighters waiting for them. The White House says ground troops aren’t part of the plan. The video could be a response to Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said in Senate testimony that he may recommend the use of ground troops under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n
