A BRIEF RETURN OF ARCTIC AIR TO THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2013 The National Weather Service says the threat for noteworthy spring flooding in the Red River Valley is low.<\/p>\n

The outlook shows a 50 percent chance that the river will reach 20 feet in the Fargo area, which is 2 feet above flood stage. The chance of major flooding is about 5 percent.<\/p>\n

Hydrologists say heavy spring rains or ice jams could lead to some minor flooding in some areas of the Souris, Missouri and James River valleys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The weather service says the snowpack and snow water equivalent are at 40-80 percent of normal in most areas. The climate outlook calls for warmer-than-normal temperatures with near-normal precipitation heading into spring.<\/p>\n

The Fargo area dealt with three straight years of flooding beginning with a record Red River crest in 2009. The city last experienced significant flooding in 2013.<\/p>\n

The next report is scheduled for March 3.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Confrontation22116\"<\/a>Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Police, the Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office and then the James Valley Special Operations unit responded to 1609 16th<\/sup> Street Southwest Apt 3-B, in Jamestown at About 7:15 p.m., Sunday<\/p>\n

Police Lt. Justin Blinsky said an individual who knows the family called police saying the male occupant had locked his 13 year old son out of the apartment, so a welfare check was made.<\/p>\n

Police attempted to make contact with the male, the lone occupant of the apartment, who showed aggression and indicated that he had a weapon, and intended to harm police.<\/p>\n

In the meantime police checked on the 13 year old male, who was okay<\/p>\n

The second attempt to make contact with male showed more aggression on his part, and refused to come out of the apartment.<\/p>\n

A search warrant was executed, at which time police heard a noise in the apartment that indicated a possible weapon was to be used.<\/p>\n

At that time the James Valley Special Operations Unit was dispatched to the scene, about 8-p.m.<\/p>\n

The male opened the door and confronted officers with a multi-tool.<\/p>\n

He refused to drop it, and police used a tazer on the man.<\/p>\n

The man, 41 year old Warren Johnson was arrested and taken into custody to the Stutsman Count Correctional facility.<\/p>\n

He faces charges of Child Neglect Terrorizing and Preventing Arrest.<\/p>\n

He is awaiting formal charges, and is to make his initial court appearance<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi)A county-wide test of the CodeRED mass notification system was completed on Friday, February 19th, by Stutsman County Communications.\u00a0 Stutsman County Emergency Manager\/9-1-1 Coordinator, Jerry Bergquist says, two separate tests were conducted.\u00a0 The first test which began at 11:24 a.m. was for both
\nland-line and cell phones, in addition to text messaging and email notifications.\u00a0 A second test was conducted at 2:26 p.m. to attempt calls again that were missed during the first test.Results of the testing related to text messages and emails indicated that
\n100% of the text and email messages were delivered\u00a0 However, during the text
\nmessage test it was discovered that depending on the cell phone carrier, the
\nindividual receiving the text either received the entire message or only a
\nportion of it.\u00a0 This is an issue that will be addressed with CodeRED.Results related to the phone testing indicated that only 63% of the phone
\nnumbers registered into the system received the first test CodeRED message.
\nAn additional 9% were reached during the second test, for a total of 72%.
\nMuch of this is due to the fact that many people were not home at the time
\nof the tests.\u00a0 The number of people notified could be dramatically increased
\nif individuals would take the time to register their cell phone numbers with
\nCodeRED.\u00a0 Land line telephone numbers are already included in the
\nnotification database.However, to receive notifications via cell phone, email or text, individuals
\nmust sign up for the service by going to the Stutsman County website

Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi) Senator John Hoeven\u00a0 Friday visited the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown to showcase the historical and cultural significance of the bison as part of his efforts to make the bison the national mammal of the United States. Hoeven and Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) introduced the National Bison Legacy Act, legislation to designate the American bison as the national mammal of the United States. Hoeven presented the museum with an official copy of the legislation, which was approved by the Senate in December.<\/p>\n

Hoeven said, \u201cThe National Buffalo Museum does a great job of telling the story of the bison and teaching new generations about these majestic creatures.\u00a0 Like the bald eagle, the bison is a symbol of America for its strength, endurance and dignity. They played an important role in our history and reflect the pioneer spirit of America. It only makes sense that the bison serve as our national mammal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Buffalo Museum is housed in a log building at the Frontier Village in Jamestown and includes exhibitions to foster awareness of the cultural and historical significance of the North American bison. The museum also maintains a herd of 25-30 bison, including White Cloud, a rare albino buffalo.<\/p>\n

The National Bison Legacy Act recognizes the historical, cultural and economic significance of the bison, which is the largest land mammal in America. The legislation was unanimously passed by the Senate. Hoeven continues working with members of the House of Representatives to pass the House bill, which has been introduced and has 13 bipartisan cosponsors.<\/p>\n

More than 40 million bison once roamed across most of North America. But by the late 1800s, fewer than one thousand bison remained. The species is acknowledged as the first American conservation success story, having been brought back from the brink of extinction by a concerted effort of ranchers, conservationists and politicians to save the species in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n

In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt and the American Bison Society led an effort to save bison from extinction by establishing a captive breeding program at the Bronx Zoo. Within a few years, the program, and others like it, were already successfully establishing bison back into its native habitat.<\/p>\n

Many Native American tribes revere bison as a sacred and spiritual symbol of their heritage and maintain private bison herds on tribal lands throughout the West. Bison now live in all 50 states in public and private herds, providing recreation opportunities for wildlife viewers in zoos, refuges and parks, and sustaining the multimillion dollar bison ranching and production business.<\/p>\n

LaMoure\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Senator John Hoeven Friday hosted a roundtable discussion in LaMoure with local officials to review the city\u2019s plans for a new sanitary sewer system and the steps in advancing the project.<\/p>\n

Hoeven serves on the Energy and Water Appropriations Committee, which helps serve cases like LaMoure\u2019s. Legislators were able to secure $3.9 million in funding towards the new system.<\/p>\n

Hoeven said, \u201cA safe and reliable water system is vital to the well-being and prosperity of our residents and businesses.\u00a0 We worked hard to ensure that Army Corps funds would be available to support the City of LaMoure\u2019s efforts to upgrade this system. With this federal support in place, the city is pursuing an ambitious timeline. We continue our efforts to help move this project forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Craig Good stated that having the funds will help alleviate the serious threat towards residents\u2019 health and property.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cAs mayor of the City of LaMoure, I would like to say that we are thrilled to be receiving these funds to improve our sanitary sewer system. Flooding and groundwater infiltration have been a serious threat to our residents\u2019 health and property, and this investment in a new system will mean long-term peace of mind for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s current sanitary sewer system uses clay pipes that date back to the 1930\u2032s and 1940\u2032s. High levels of ground water along the James River threaten to overwhelm and collapse the sewer.<\/p>\n

The city is now working with the Army Corps to move through the final steps of securing the funds and plans to finish all preliminary planning and design work this spring. With those steps completed, bidding and construction could begin this summer and be completed in 2017.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) District 12 Democrats have nominated incumbents Sen. John Grabinger and Rep. Jessica Haak, both of Jamestown, to seek re-election during a district convention Sunday in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The convention also nominated Pam Musland to seek the second seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives. District 12 and District 29 Democrats held conventions Sunday. Both named delegates to the state convention in March while the District 12 Democrats nominated candidates for the upcoming election cycle.<\/p>\n

Grabinger and Haak were elected to their posts in 2012. Musland is seeking the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Alex Looysen, who is not seeking another term.<\/p>\n

Grabinger said the Democrats may be a minority party, but needed to work hard to make changes in Bismarck. He also reiterated his call for annual legislative sessions rather than the current biennial legislature.<\/p>\n

Haak called for putting people first when it comes to government.<\/p>\n

Musland called for changes in state government.<\/p>\n

Grabinger, Haak and Musland will be on the District 12 Democratic primary ballot on June 14. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 8, 2016.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A push for a new auditorium at Bismarck High School is gaining momentum as the school district works through a facilities planning process.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The high school’s makeshift auditorium is a multipurpose space that’s in high demand from physical education classes, cheerleaders, dancers, musicians and drama students.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bismarck Tribune reports school board members have mentioned the possibility of an auditorium at several recent meetings. Parents of students at the high school broached the subject at forums to gather input on facilities last month.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 District officials estimate an auditorium would cost $6 million. Darin Scherr, business and operations manager for Bismarck Public Schools, says officials see potential to build one on the north side of the school.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 School Board President Lawrence King says the district will consider the issue over the next few months.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Construction is progressing on a project to help protect Minot’s water treatment plant and keep it functioning during a flood.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Crews poured concrete for the first time February 15th for walls for the storm water pump station, which will be capable of handling 18,000 gallons a minute. The station would take on storm water runoff during flooding. Floodwater entered the water system in 2011, leading to a boil order.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The pump station is part of the flood protection being built for the water treatment plant. The plant project is separate from the basin-wide flood project to protect the rest of Minot, though the two will tie together.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Minot Daily News reports the pump station should be finished in August.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Air Force says the missile carried a test re-entry vehicle that headed for a target area 4,200 miles away to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Air Force routinely uses Vandenberg to test Minuteman missiles from bases around the country.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The appeals court released its ruling on Friday, affirming the brothers’ conviction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Backers of a horse racing track in North Dakota’s largest city say they have one last chance to get it right.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Horse Park first opened in Fargo in 2003 and has gradually increased its fan base despite the cancellations of three seasons, including last year. There are six racing days scheduled this summer.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The issue has been the inability of the park to cover nearly $2 million in special assessment taxes owed to the city. It was complicated by the fact the facility was owned by two separate nonprofit groups, who have since gotten together to work out a payment schedule.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Aberdeen, South Dakota trainer Robert Haar (harr) says he believes the track has advantages that should make it one of the best in the Upper Midwest.<\/div>\n
