\"GrahamMatthew\"<\/a>Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Police\u00a0 is warning Jamestown residents of a convicted sex offender who has changed addresses in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Matthew Jacob Lee Graham is a 27 year old white male, 5’11” tall weighing 192 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair.<\/p>\n

He currently has no vehicle.<\/p>\n

He now resides at 402 2nd<\/sup> Avenue, Northwest, Jamestown, ND Apt #305<\/p>\n

He has been assigned a high risk assessment by the North Dakot Risk Level Committee, of the North Dakota Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

His offense is listed as indecent exposure, stemming from exposing himself to a five year old male family friend.<\/p>\n

He was convicted in April of 2004 in Kidder Count.<\/p>\n

Disposition: remanded to the Mesabi Academy treatment facility.<\/p>\n

Graham is not wanted by police at this time and has served the sentence imposed by the court.<\/p>\n

This notification is meant for public safety and not to increase fear in the community, nor should this information be used to threaten, assault or intimidate the offender. Attempts to harass, intimidate or threaten these offenders or their families, landlords, or employers will be turned over for prosecution.<\/p>\n

Printed handouts of the demographics of Graham are available at the Jamestown Police Department.<\/p>\n

More information on registered offenders is available on the Attorney General\u2019s web site www.sexoffender.nd.gov<\/a><\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Public School Superintendent, Rob Lech says, CHS\u2019s plans not to construct the fertilizer plant near Jamestown, does not alter plans for the proposed elementary and middle schools.<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Lech said the study that indicates a seven percent enrollment growth a Jamestown Public Schools was conducted prior to the CHS plans to build the facility.<\/p>\n

He added that construction workers seldom brings families to the work location and so the school enrollment was not expected to be impacted in that way.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that if the plant had been constructed, the impact of workers with school age children would be felt in five years.<\/p>\n

He reminds the community that the next public meeting on the $19-million school bond referendum is on Thursday September 17, 2015, at 7-p.m., at Jamestown Middle School\u2019s Thompson Community Room.<\/p>\n

The vote is on September 29, 2015 at Thompson Auditorium.<\/p>\n

Absentee balloting is currently available and Early Voting is September 15-28th<\/sup>, at the Stutsman County Courthouse.<\/p>\n

He said a 60-percent majority of “yes” votes is required to pass.<\/p>\n

He said a 60-percent majority of “yes” votes is required to pass.<\/p>\n

He added that if the voters approve the bond issue, property taxes on a $100,000 home would be less that $17, annually, or about $1.39 per month.<\/p>\n

The 20 year bond levy is 25.11 mills.<\/p>\n

If the vote fails the property tax would drop by $113 annually.<\/p>\n

Under the proposal Louis L\u2019Amoure Elementary School would be expanded from housing 125 students to 360 students, and Washington Elementary Schools would be decommissioned, because it is no longer effective as an educational setting, due the age of the building, small classrooms, and an expansion would be cost prohibitive. The closing would not impact the use of Ernie Gates Field behind Washington.<\/p>\n

Phase One includes Roosevelt, Gussner and Lincoln Elementary Schools receiving a $1 million renovation budget and they along with Jamestown Middle School would be getting enhancements that allow for air conditioning.<\/p>\n

The Second Phase is approximately $13 million dollars and and would include expansion to Gussner to accommodate 360 students with additional renovations to Roosevelt and Lincoln Schools. The Second Phase would most likely be considered if the enrollment in grades K-5 exceeds the 1,080 capacity provided in the First Phase.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Middle School shows to be slightly over capacity by 2019-2020, but the district believes that facility and space changes would be able to accomodater this growth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says opponents of a Red River diversion project should not prevail on allegations that the agency failed to follow federal law when it analyzed the upstream effects of the proposed channel around the Fargo metropolitan area.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A group representing upstream residents in North Dakota and Minnesota filed a lawsuit in August 2013 opposing the diversion. The group filed a motion in June asking a judge to rule in their favor on the issue of whether or not the corps violated federal environmental law.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ruling could affect the timeline of the project.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In its response filed Friday, the corps says it fulfilled federal requirements by evaluating other diversion alternatives and working with state and federal agencies on an environmental impact study and other suggestions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Public Service Commission is mulling a rate increase for natural gas used by customers of Montana-Dakota Utilities Co.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A two-day public hearing on the proposed rate increase began Monday in Bismarck.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MDU is seeking a 2 percent overall rate increase, which would raise $2.6 million a year more than current rates. The Bismarck-based utility originally sought a 3.4 percent overall rate increase, which would have raised $4.3 million a year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The request would raise a typical residential customer’s natural gas bill by about $2.04 a month.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The utility says it needs the increase to cover the cost of increased investment in natural gas facilities. MDU’s natural gas investment in the state is projected to be $212 million by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Nevada man arrested during an anti-human trafficking investigation in North Dakota has pleaded guilty to a lower charge.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Steven Ezeofor has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of promoting prostitution. He has been ordered to spend 60 days in jail.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ezeofor was arrested in December at a Bismarck motel where he and a woman were staying. The woman told police she was a prostitute. Authorities say Ezeofor had over $13,000 with him and the woman had $3.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ezeofor, of Carson City, Nevada, originally faced a human trafficking charge.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The incident was uncovered by police who say they found an advertisement on a website frequented by human traffickers and prostitutes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Ezeofor will serve the 60-day sentence at the same time he is in jail for a separate crime.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state Health Department says a well blowout spewed more than 23,000 gallons of oil and 4,600 gallons of briny wastewater in Dunn County.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Environmental scientist Bill Suess says the blowout occurred Saturday morning at a well owned by XTO Energy Inc., about 18 miles southeast of Watford City. Suess says the company reported the spill to health officials on Sunday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Suess says no one was injured and a state inspector is on site. He says no waterways or drinking water was affected.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say most of the oil and brine had been recovered by Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Suess says the impacted area appears to be about 15 acres, or an area the size of 15 football fields. He says the state is working with the company on a remediation plan.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bismarck and Mandan both are delaying building new fire stations, though fire officials say growth in the neighboring cities will dictate their development in the near future.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bismarck Fire Chief Joel Boespflug (BAYS’-floog) says a more centrally located fire station is needed so that response times in the northern part of the city meet national standards.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The city instead will spend $1.7 million for three new fire engines and a practice facility. The facility will be on the 5-acre site the city acquired this year for a future station.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0 City officials in Mandan cut plans for a new fire hall from the proposed 2016 budget because there’s no money available to staff it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fire Chief Steve Nardello says growth in northwest Mandan warrants another station.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s congressional delegation says five tribal colleges in the state are sharing $7 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Education.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal officials say the funds will be used to help the tribal colleges strengthen their academic quality, management, and overall fiscal stability.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – About 16 people applied for every pronghorn hunting license offered in North Dakota this year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That indicates enthusiasm for the species is high after several years without hunting seasons.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Game and Fish Department is allowing state hunters to go after pronghorn in the Badlands for a second straight year. No hunting was allowed from 2010-2013, after a string of harsh winters decimated the population of the animals.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This year, 410 licenses were made available in three hunting units in the southwest. About 6,500 people applied. That compares with about 10,200 applications for 6,000 licenses in 15 units in 2007, the peak year for licenses.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wildlife Chief Jeb Williams says the number of people applying for pronghorn licenses likely will be even higher as more areas are reopened to hunting.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – NDSU assistant track and field coach Trevor Barry finished 10th in the high jump at the IAAF World Championships in China.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The event is considered one of the most prestigious track and field meets outside of the Olympics. This year’s championships were in Beijing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Barry competed for his native Bahamas. He earned a bronze medal in the 2011 World Championships and competed in the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u00a0HOUSTON (AP) – Prosecutors aren’t commenting on a possible motive for the shooting death of a suburban Houston sheriff’s deputy. In court Monday, they said the man who’s accused in the shooting had fired a total of 15 shots, including the initial one in the back of the head of Deputy Darren Goforth. Shannon Miles, who is charged with capital murder, is being held without bond.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROANOKE, Va. (AP) – A community reception has begun at Salem High School in Roanoke, Virginia, to honor alumnus Adam Ward. He was the cameraman for a Roanoke television station who was slain on live TV last week. Many visitors wore the maroon school colors of Salem High and Virginia Tech. Ward graduated from both schools. Ward and reporter Alison Parker were gunned down by a former co-worker. Vicki Gardner, a Chamber of Commerce official, was wounded in the attack. Authorities said the shooter, Vester Flanagan, later died of a self-inflicted wound.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ST. LOUIS (AP) – The attorney for convicted killer Roderick Nunley has filed a new appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to halt his execution. Nunley is scheduled to die Tuesday evening for killing 15-year-old Ann Harrison in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1989.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) – The tallest mountain in North America may no longer carry the name of President William McKinley — but the White House says it’s going to work with officials in Ohio to find another way to honor the nation’s 25th president. Officials in Ohio — which was McKinley’s home state — are voicing outrage over the announcement that Mount McKinley in Alaska will be renamed Denali, its traditional name.
