Valley City (CSi) Valley City Police is reviewing surveillance video in connection with a breakin reported Monday morning at Dietrich & Sons, at 849 14th Street Southwest, in Valley City.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Fred Thompson says the building was entered through a window between 2 and 4 a.m. while the business was closed and unoccupied.<\/p>\n

Once inside the suspect located and removed a small safe and left in an unknown direction. Valley City police officers failed to locate the suspect after checking the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

The VCPD is viewing surveillance tapes for additional information on the suspect. The contents of the safe are not being disclosed, Thompson said.<\/p>\n

The Police is continuing its investigation on this case. Anyone with any information on this case is asked to contact the VCPD at (701) 845-3110.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Valley City (CSi) Valley City motorists should be aware of the new two-way stop signs, up now, at the intersection of Second Street and Third Avenue Northeast.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Fred Thompson says the stop sign should reduce accidents at the intersection and help the fire department.<\/p>\n

A few accidents have been reported at that intersection.<\/p>\n

At the intersection in 2013, a vehicle rolled and landed on it\u2019s top following in a two vehicle collision.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Spiritwood Energy Park Association (SEPA) has until March 31, 2015 to raise $1 million to connect its rail loop to the BNSF main line.<\/p>\n

Currently the rail loop is a circular track around the SEPA industrial park but does not connect to any other rail lines.<\/p>\n

SEPA is a partnership between the Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corp. and Great River Energy.<\/p>\n

JSDC CEO Connie Ova will explore opportunities for raising the funds.<\/p>\n

Currently, JSDC owns 70 percent of SEPA. If it makes an additional investment of $1 million, its share of ownership would increase to 75 percent<\/p>\n

The additional $1 million will raise the final cost of the loop to $11 million.<\/p>\n

The SEPA industrial park is home to Dakota Spirit AgEnergy and includes about 400 acres of additional property for future industrial development.<\/p>\n

SEPA built the rail loop last summer to provide rail access to Dakota Spirit AgEnergy and the SEPA industrial park.<\/p>\n

The Dakota Spirit AgEnergy plant which is in the final stages of construction.<\/p>\n

Plant operations are expected to begin in April. The plant will utilize rail cars to bring in corn and ship ethanol.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) A new plan being developed by the Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) could streamline the process of granting Flex Pace interest buydowns through the JSDC.<\/p>\n

Under the new proposal, the JSDC would have a set of criteria to use for reviewing the project. If the project meets the criteria and is within available funding limits, it would not require approval from the City Council or the County Commission.<\/p>\n

Currently, the business applies for the Flex Pace interest buy down to the JSDC, which reviews the application. If the JSDC Board of Directors approves the Flex Pace interest buydown, the application is forwarded to the Jamestown City Council and Stutsman County Commission for both to approve.<\/p>\n

The Flex Pace program utilizes a grant from the Bank of North Dakota and a loan from the JSDC to reduce the interest rate on a business loan by as much as 5 percent. The JSDC is repaid its loan after the original business loan is retired.<\/p>\n

The change was reviewed at Monday\u2019s JSDC Executive Committee meeting.<\/p>\n

The executive committee also moved to JSDC Board of Directors without recommendation an $81,000 Flex Pace Affordable Housing interest buydown for MetroPlains, which is planning construction next summer for row homes at the previous Essentia Clinic location.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(CSi) The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing in Ashley on Thursday, January 22, 2015, concerning a proposal for revisions to the Merricourt Wind Power Project. The hearing was postponed on Monday,December 22, 2014 due to heavy fog and slippery roads.<\/p>\n

The public hearing will be held inside the Ashley City Hall on January 22 at 1oam. The city hall is located at 113 1st Street N.W. in Ashley, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

EDF Renewable Development, Inc. (formerly enXco Development Corporation) received approval from the PSC for the site permit in June 2011, which is valid for four years. The original permit authorized construction of the 150 megawatt wind project consisting of up to 100 GE 1.5-megawatt turbines. The company is now requesting a revision to that permit and is instead planning on using 75 Vestas 2-megawatt turbines. The proposed revisions will also reduce the project area from 22,457 acres to 10,960 acres.<\/p>\n

The project would straddle McIntosh and Dickey counties in southeastern North Dakota. The project would also include approximately 29 miles of access roads and approximately 37 miles of underground electrical collector cables.<\/p>\n

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A man accused in state court of forcing women into prostitution in the North Dakota oil patch is facing similar charges in federal court.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors have charged Keith Graves with six counts, including five counts of sex trafficking by force or coercion. He’s scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Graves is accused in state court of running a prostitution ring out of Williston-area hotels, and raping a woman he was recruiting and forcing her to take drugs. He has pleaded not guilty to numerous human trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

Graves was one of the main subjects of “The Overnighters,” a documentary that follows a Lutheran pastor who opened up his Williston church and parking lot to oil workers with nowhere to stay.<\/p>\n

Federal court documents do not list an attorney for Graves.<\/p>\n

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – A Mandan man has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of promoting obscenity to minors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A man convicted in the 2011 beating death of a Minot toddler wants to change his plea.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony Robinson was sentenced to 27 years in prison for the death of 19-month-old Conrad Ayala. The toddler’s mother, Cassondra Ayala, was also convicted in the case and sentenced to 22 years in prison.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state medical examiner determined that Conrad Ayala died from “blunt head injury in battered child syndrome.” Authorities say the boy was covered “head to foot” with bruises.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0 Robinson says he was not read his rights and was intimidated into pleading guilty. A hearing on his change of plea request is set for January.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both Robinson and Cassondra Ayala lost appeals to the North Dakota Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A West Fargo man arrested for dealing marijuana says police violated his right to privacy by bringing a drug-sniffing dog past a fence and into the hallway of an owned condominium without a warrant.<\/p>\n

Defense attorney Scott Brand said Monday he was filing an appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court for Andrew Williams. Williams was arrested in May after the dog detected the smell of pot coming from his residence.<\/p>\n

East Central District Judge Norman Anderson denied Brand’s motion to exclude evidence in the case, after Brand complained it was an unreasonable search and seizure.<\/p>\n

The state Supreme Court decided last year that it’s OK for police to bring drug-sniffing dogs into secure apartments. Prosecutors say condos are more like apartments and that ruling should apply in this case.
\nBISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a fire has destroyed a $300,000 paving machine in Bismarck.<\/p>\n

Firefighters responded to the blaze Sunday afternoon at a parking lot and found the paving machine engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n

Firefighters brought the flames under control within minutes. The machine was a total loss due to heavy damage to the engine compartment.<\/p>\n

Officials say the blaze began as an electrical fire.
\nBISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Heritage Center has seen a record number of visitors this year thanks to a $52 million upgrade of the facility on the state Capitol grounds in Bismarck.<\/p>\n

State Historical Society Director Claudia Berg about 150,000 people have toured the museum since the end of April, when the expanded museum’s first two galleries opened to the public.<\/p>\n

The facility was built in 1967 and had averaged about 100,000 visitors annually until the expansion.<\/p>\n

The grand opening for the revamped center was held Nov. 2 and coincided with the state’s 125th statehood anniversary.<\/p>\n

The expanded center includes a new theater, cafe and outdoor space.<\/p>\n

State lawmakers approved about $40 million for the 97,000-square-foot expansion in 2009. The historical society raised an additional $12 million.<\/p>\n

DENVER (AP) – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is asking Indian tribes, government agencies and others to submit information about conservation efforts for the greater sage grouse.<\/p>\n

The service said Monday it needs the best data possible to make a decision on whether the bird warrants protection under the Endangered Species Act.<\/p>\n

Congress has barred the federal government from spending money on rules to protect the bird, but the Fish and Wildlife Service says it is still bound by a court order to reach a decision by September on whether a listing is warranted.<\/p>\n

If wildlife managers determine the bird is heading toward possible extinction, they would be unable to intervene because of the spending restriction.<\/p>\n

Greater sage grouse range across 11 Western states and two Canadian provinces.<\/p>\n

NFL…<\/p>\n

CINCINNATI (AP) – Peyton Manning threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns, but he was intercepted four times in Denver’s 37-28 loss to Cincinnati. Dre Kirkpatrick picked off two Manning throws, returning the first 30 yards for a game-clinching touchdown with 2:41 remaining. Jeremy Hill ran for 147 yards and a long TD as the Bengals clinched a playoff berth and prevented the Broncos from wrapping up a first-round bye.
\nBrowns quarterback Johnny Manziel (man-ZEHL’) has been ruled out of the team’s season finale against Baltimore after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday’s loss to Carolina. It was the second start of the season for the well-hyped rookie, who replaced Brian Hoyer a few days before the Browns’ 30-0 loss to Cincinnati on Dec. 14.<\/p>\n

Hoyer will start the season finale Sunday if he can recover from a shoulder injury suffered in Sunday’s loss to Carolina.<\/p>\n

Chicago quarterback Jimmy Clausen will miss the season finale against Minnesota because of a concussion, moving Jay Cutler back into the starting role. Cutler was benched in favor of Clausen for Sunday’s loss to Detroit.<\/p>\n

MLB…<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Twins and right-hander Phil Hughes have agreed to a $58 million, five-year contract that adds $42 million in guaranteed money from 2017-19. Hughes went 16-10 with a 3.52 ERA in his first season with Minnesota and led the major leagues among qualifying pitchers with an 11.63 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He will make $9.2 million in each of the next two years and $13.2 million annually from 2017-19.<\/p>\n

San Francisco Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro (SKOO’-tah-roh) has undergone back surgery that could end his career.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Vikings say ticket sales for the new stadium are moving at a brisk pace. The Vikings have sold 30,000 season tickets in the nine months since they went on sale for the new stadium. The sales have already brought in more than $80 million in seat license fees.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL’s troubles with domestic violence have been selected the sports story of the year in an annual vote conducted by The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Ninety-four ballots were submitted from U.S. editors and news directors. Voters were asked to rank the top 10 sports stories of the year, with the first-place story receiving 10 points, the second-place story nine points and so on.<\/p>\n

NFL domestic violence received 659 points and 29 first-place votes in the results announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The No. 2 sports story was Clippers owner Donald Sterling being forced out by the NBA after his racist statements. It received 518 points.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) – Make it three weeks in a row that Kentucky has been a unanimous pick as No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll. The 12-0 Wildcats got all 65 first-place votes. Kentucky solidified its spot as the top team in the land with a crushing 83-44 win over UCLA Saturday in which the Wildcats rattled off the first 24 points in the game.<\/p>\n

Duke, Arizona and Louisville held onto the next three spots.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals have a showdown with Kentucky in Louisville on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Virginia moves up a spot to No. 5, trading places with Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Villanova, Gonzaga, Texas and Kansas rounded out the top 10 in the same spots they held last week.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) – Investigators trying to determine if Ismaaiyl Brinsley latched onto the deaths of black men at the hands of white police officers for the final act in a violent rampage say he watched but did not participate in a protest earlier this month. Brinsley who had a long history of violence, killed two New York City police officers and himself. The funeral for one officer will be held Saturday while plans for the other are on hold pending the arrival of relatives from China.<\/p>\n

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) – Algeria’s Ministry of Defense says a military operation east of the capital has killed three militants, including the man behind the kidnapping and beheading of a French hiker in September. Extremists pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group in Syria kidnapped the hiker and beheaded him on video a few days later when demands for France to end airstrikes were not met.<\/p>\n

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – It’s still not clear today what caused a more than 9-hour Internet outage in North Korea. Outside experts say it could be anything from a cyberattack to a simple power failure. The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible in retaliation for the recent Sony hack. Service, which is limited to a few elite North Koreans, is back up.<\/p>\n

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s parliament has taken what could be a step toward applying for membership in NATO. Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly today to abandon the country’s nonaligned status. Although Ukraine had pursued NATO membership several years ago, it declared itself a non-bloc country after Russia-friendly Viktor Yanukovych became president in 2010.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) – A published report says a New York City man imprisoned for nearly 20 years for murder before a judge declared he was innocent is getting $4.75 million from the state. Fernando Bermudez told the New York Post in a statement published today that “the settlement will never erase the injustice.” The judge ruled in 2009 that Bermudez had “demonstrated his actual innocence.” Some witnesses recanted their identification and friends testified he was miles away.
