Valley City (CSi) The North Dakota Bureau of Investigation, the Barnes County State\u2019s Attorney, and the City Attorney found no criminal conduct or violation of procedural rules against Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson.<\/p>\n

The investigation stemmed from in an October 3, 2015 incident in Valley City, when Thompson drew his firearm and pointed it at a man who was pointing an Airsoft rifle at children in Valley City.<\/p>\n

The results of the BCI investigation show that Chief Thompson used his training and experience to neutralize an unknown threat, making sure everyone was safe.<\/p>\n

In the report Thompson saw a man behind a tree pointing what appeared to be an assault weapon at some children. He drew his service weapon and ordered the individual to drop the weapon. It was later determine that the weapon was an Airsoft rifle which resembled an assault rifle.<\/p>\n

Airsoft rifles and pistols have orange tips to indicate they are toys.<\/p>\n

There have been several incidents across the United States which resulted in police wounding or killing individuals possessing airsoft weapons because either the police did not see the orange tips, the tips were painted black, or orange tips had been placed on real firearms. Because these ambiguities occur, a law enforcement officer must assume the worst to ensure a safe resolution to any situation.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Everything from a penny to $500,000 has been dropped into a Salvation Army red kettle this holiday season and thanks to a donation in Jamestown, you can add a gold coin to that list.<\/p>\n

The 2015 American Eagle one-half ounce gold proof coin retails for $720 at the United States mint, while the current price for gold is around $500 per half ounce. The Jamestown Salvation Army stands to gain somewhere between those two\u00a0figures.<\/p>\n

Major Tim Nauta, says \u201cGiving has been slow so far this year, so this gives us a nice boost,\u00a0 Our Christmas Campaign is way behind so we’ll take all the donations and volunteer bell ringers we can get.”<\/p>\n

Only 18 bell ringing days remain and there are still plenty of two hour volunteer shifts available at locations across Jamestown. It’s easy to sign up either call\u00a0 701-252-0290 or\u00a0register online to ring a bell<\/a>\u00a0at Buffalo Mall, Park Plaza Mall, Walmart or Cash Wise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Major Nauta adds, “This is our greatest fundraising campaign of the yearChristmas may seem far off, but it’s really right around the corner and we need all the help we can get.”<\/p>\n

Additionally,\u00a0you can find\u00a0Angel Trees at the Buffalo Mall where there’s two trees and another at Stutsman Harley Davidson, 2501 3rd Ave. SW. Simply take a tag from the tree and give a gift to somebody who would otherwise go without.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the only large donation to a Salvation Army kettle in the region this holiday season. Someone put a $500,000 check <\/a>into a kettle in Minneapolis late last month.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An appeals court has rejected an appeal of a Canadian man convicted in federal court in North Dakota for what authorities called high-tech bank robbery.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adekunle Adetiloye (aw-duh-KUHN-lee aw-duh-tuh-LOH’-ee) pleaded guilty in 2012 to mail fraud and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Authorities say he stole the identities of about 38,000 people to bilk dozens of banks in one of the largest credit card frauds in U.S. history.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in rejected Adetiloye’s claim that he was illegally extradited and the federal government did not have jurisdiction of the case.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The case wound up in North Dakota because U.S. Bank, one of the victims, is based in Fargo.<\/p>\n

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) – About 800 bison are being auctioned Saturday on a ranch in south central North Dakota, in one of the biggest such sales in the country this year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Bev and Ernie Fischer are holding the auction at their ranch 35 miles south of Mandan. They’re downsizing their herd to 200 choice breeding animals.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The sale comes during a time of what North Dakota Buffalo Association director Kevin Leier calls “unbelievable demand” for bison. He says demand has outstripped supply, and the Fischers’ animals are likely to bring a premium price.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More than one-fourth of the nation’s bison are raised in the Dakotas. South Dakota leads the nation in bison production, and North Dakota ranks seventh.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The head of the nation’s largest sugar beet cooperative says shareholders will see improved results this year, but two of his group’s biggest challenges are the anti-genetically modified foods movement – and Republican Ted Cruz.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 American Crystal Sugar Co. CEO David Berg says the company can weather the decision by Hershey Co. to buy only non-GMO cane sugar, but he is worried that more companies will follow suit. Berg says Crystal growers could produce non-GMO beets, but at this point there is “no good reason” to do it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Berg spoke Thursday during Crystal’s annual meeting in Fargo. He received applause during his speech to shareholders when he challenged Cruz to a debate over the Republican presidential candidate’s call to do away with government support for the sugar industry.<\/p>\n

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – Energy-producing states around the country are feeling the sting of lower prices for oil, natural gas and coal as they struggle to cover budget plans they made when they were flying high.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Many energy-producing states are dipping into their savings to cover state budgets established when energy prices were higher.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wyoming is the nation’s leading coal-producing state. Republican Governor Matt Mead says the state needs to brace for falling revenues as demand slips nationwide.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alaska relies heavily on oil revenues. The state has been hit hard by low oil prices and currently faces an estimated budget gap of about $3.5 billion.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lawmakers in Oklahoma recently raided the state’s constitutional Rainy Day Fund for about $150 million to help cover its current budget.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – Environmental groups are appealing a judge’s decision to suspend new rules for oil and gas drilling on federal land across the U.S. amid a legal challenge to those rules.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Sierra Club and others say the rules should be allowed to take effect to protect land and water from practices including hydraulic fracturing.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In September, U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl in Wyoming disagreed and blocked the rules from taking effect while the lawsuit contesting them moves ahead.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The environmental groups appealed Skavdahl’s decision Nov. 27 to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The case itself remains before Skavdahl in Casper.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The plaintiffs are Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, North Dakota, the Ute Tribe and two petroleum industry groups. They say the rules would be too costly for industry and cause economic harm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BUFORD, N.D. (AP) – The National Park Service is soliciting public comment on what it calls a critical shortage of employee housing for the Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Expanded Park Housing\/Utilities Plan and Environmental Assessment aims to address the shortage, increase the housing capacity of the park to an adequate number of bedrooms and upgrade the existing wastewater treatment system. It also looks to provide utility connections to proposed housing units and provide effluent connect to a proposed drain field site.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Park superintendent Andy Banta says the plan analyzes two action alternatives that focus on the immediate need for housing park employees.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The comment period runs through Jan. 11.<\/p>\n

In sports…<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) Nearly 200 people attended Thursday evening\u2019s informational meeting at the Jamestown Knights of Columbus Hall discussing a proposed shooting range in the Jamestown area.<\/p>\n

A member of the United Sportsmen of North Dakota Jamestown Chapter Shooting Range Committee, member Gene Van Eeckhout, is confident that gun and archery enthusiasts in the community can effectively organize and bring a shooting range back to Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The meeting was called to gauge interest in building a new shooting range and to recruit volunteers for organizational committees.<\/p>\n

The shooting range at Pipestem Dam was closed in July after stray bullets from the range struck an occupied home adjacent to the range. It wasn’t the first time that happened.<\/p>\n

Bob Martin ruled out any future use of land at Pipestem Dam for a shooting range, saying there was no other locations on the property that would meet the safety requirements for a shooting range.<\/p>\n

Curtis Kasemen said a shooting range must have a 2-mile downrange safety zone from the shooting range. While the club or organization owning the range would not have to own that property, it would have to work with county officials to create a special zoning district where houses could not be built.<\/p>\n

He said finding a location where there are no homes for at least 2 miles near Jamestown would be a challenge.<\/p>\n

Kasemen called for volunteers for a number of committees. He hopes to see all sportsmen and conservation clubs in the region combine their efforts with the idea of creating a shooting facility with multiple ranges that can accommodate rifles, pistols, shotguns and archery.<\/p>\n

North Dakota Game and Fish Department, Hunter Education Supervisor, John Mazur said state law requires land either be donated to conservation groups such as those that would operate the shooting range or be specifically approved by the North Dakota Legislature and governor.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boeheim to start serving suspension immediately
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) – Legendary Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim (BAY’-hym) won one and lost one with the NCAA Infractions Committee.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The NCAA has upheld its nine-game suspension of Boeheim. But it is allowing Boeheim to immediately begin serving it so he will be eligible for much of the Atlantic Coast Conference season. The Orange are banned from the ACC and NCAA tournaments.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee said Boeheim was not directly involved in underlying violations of academic misconduct, extra benefits and the university’s drug testing policy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Committee on Infractions had ruled in March that the suspension be served during Atlantic Coast Conference play.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The change means the 71-year-old Boeheim will now miss six non-conference games and only three ACC games, returning for North Carolina on Jan. 9. Assistant coach Mike Hopkins will lead No. 14 Syracuse on Saturday at Georgetown.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boeheim said it a statement he was “extremely disappointed” the NCAA didn’t overturn its ruling.<\/p>\n
