Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Nov 6, 2012) \u2014 Jamestown Police is warning Jamestown Residents of a convicted sex offender, who has changed address in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The report says, 42 year old Gero Mahto has moved from 331 4th<\/sup> Avenue, Southwest in Jamestown, and as of Dec. 4, 2012, now resides at 414 4th Street Northeast, in Jamestown..Apt # 1.<\/p>\n

His vehicle is a Blue and White 1990 Ford F250 Pickup with North Dakota License<\/p>\n

JSZ 185. Also a Green 1998 Ford Expedition (ND) Notary Sticker.<\/p>\n

Mahto has been assigned a High Risk Assessment by the North Dakota Risk Level Committee of the North Dakota Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

He was convicted of Gross Sexual Imposition. During a period of three months in 1992, Mahto forcibly raped four women.<\/p>\n

He has been incarcerated since his convictions.<\/p>\n

He will be on probation with the North Dakota Parole and Probation Department.<\/p>\n

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

This notice 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.<\/p>\n

Attempts to harass, intimidate or threaten these offenders, families, landlords, or employers will be turned over for prosecution.<\/p>\n

Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Dec 4, 2012) — Moving control of the 9-1-1 operations from Valley City control to Barnes County, will be delayed.<\/p>\n

Originally the proposed plan was to have the change take effect on January 1, 2013.<\/p>\n

Valley City Commissioner, Duane Magnuson has said that Valley City should renegotiate the cost share ratio, among other issues related to the 9-1-1 transfer.<\/p>\n

The Barnes County Commissioners voted 3-2 to develop a Resolution to clear up the issues of control and distribution of funds with the cost ratio.<\/p>\n

County Commissioners John Froelich and Phil Leitner voted against the Resolution, being opposed to moving transfer of the 9-1-1 dispatch center control from Valley City to Barnes County.<\/p>\n

Recently, Valley City Administrator, David Schelkoph, at a County Commission meeting, told the County Commissioners, that the move should be delayed until July of 2013, which the County Commission voted to do at Tuesday\u2019s County Commission meeting.<\/p>\n

Schelkoph said he was grateful that Barnes County has agreed to the delay<\/p>\n

Valley City had threatened the county with a lawsuit if it assumed the 9-1-1 dispatch contract on 1, January, 2013, seven months before the tentative contract was going to expire.<\/p>\n

Barnes County Commissioner Eldred Knutson said it\u2019s time to move forward not backwards on the take over.<\/p>\n

STEELE, N.D. (AP) \u2013 A Texas man accused of burning down a North Dakota motel is scheduled to stand trial in late February.<\/p>\n

51-year-old Allen Thomas has pleaded not guilty to one count of arson and 18 counts of endangering by fire.<\/p>\n

The felony charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison upon conviction.
\nThe Houston man was staying at the Lone Steer Motel in Steele at the time of the Aug. 12, 2012 fire, which didn\u2019t hurt anyone but displaced about two dozen people.
\nAuthorities allege that Thomas used a cigarette lighter to
\nignite a mattress because he was upset that the hotel owners had
\nhelped his girlfriend after the two had argued.
\nThe trial is expected to last from Feb. 25 to March 1.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck man who was being tracked as a
\nhigh-risk sex offender has pleaded guilty to a string of Bismarck
\nwindow-peeping incidents and home break-ins.
\n\u00a0Donald Gerald pleaded guilty Tuesday to 12 felony counts including
\nburglary, surreptitious intrusion and criminal trespass.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He is accused of breaking or attempting to break into homes or
\nlooking into windows at several homes last year.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Gerald made 36 visits to one home where an
\nadolescent girl lives and the GPS device he wears due to past sex
\noffense convictions showed his movements centralized around the
\ngirl’s bedroom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House Republican majority
\nleader says he believes the Legislature follows high standards of
\nconduct, and new ethics rules aren’t needed.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo Rep. Al Carlson says lawmakers themselves should be
\nresponsible for reporting misbehavior by their colleagues.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature is meeting in Bismarck this week to get
\norganized for the regular 2013 business session. It starts in
\nJanuary.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislature’s Democratic and Republican majority leaders
\ngave speeches on ethics as part of the session.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Democratic House leader Kenton Onstad says the national Center
\nfor Public Integrity gave North Dakota a failing grade when it
\ncomes to guarding against corruption. He says there’s a perception
\nthe state doesn’t do enough.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Onstad says Republicans and Democrats alike should support a new
\nstate ethics commission to root out possible wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple is
\npreparing to outline his budget recommendations to the Legislature
\ntoday.

\nHouse and Senate. His budget speech will wrap up the Legislature’s
\norganizational session.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lawmakers have been getting ready this week for the start of the
\n2013 Legislature on Jan. 8.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During his election campaign, Dalrymple said he would propose
\ntax cuts and increased public works spending in his next budget
\nplan.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He calls his proposal “historic” and says it will provide for
\nNorth Dakota’s pressing needs while keeping a substantial budget
\nreserve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Rep.-elect Kevin Cramer says he has been appointed to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative says its
\npayments to shareholders at the end of the fiscal year were down 14
\npercent from the previous year’s gross revenue.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cooperative kicked off its annual meeting in Fargo Tuesday.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President and CEO Dave Roche says the decrease is due to
\ndifficult growing conditions and low per-acre yields.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minn-Dak handed out about $155 million in payments to
\nshareholders and growers at the end of its 2011-2012 fiscal year on
\nAug. 31.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 2012 crop is much larger than in 2011 with 27 tons per acre
\nand sugar content higher than average at 19 percent. But sugar
\nprices are down nearly 40 percent from less than a year ago.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A bumper crop of sugar beets in Mexico boosted supply.<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Clerical workers and longshoremen are expected to be back on the job at the nation’s largest port complex this morning. A strike by clerical workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has kept shippers from delivering billions of dollars in cargo over the past eight days, as longshoremen refused to cross picket lines. Negotiators reached a tentative agreement to end the strike last night, shortly after federal mediators arrived from Washington, D.C.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – Officials at a wildlife park in Kenya have found four dead rhinoceros. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy says the animals were shot by poachers in a two-day span. The park has lost 10 rhinos to poaching in the last three years, dropping its rhino population to 71. Kenya has about 600 rhinos total. Poaching deaths of rhinos and elephants are spiking sharply across Africa because of an increase demand for rhino horn and ivory from Asia.
