Jamestown (CSi) A committee has been formed to organize a petition drive to force a recall election of Stutsman County Sheriff, Chad Kaiser. Kaiser is in his second term as Stutsman County sheriff and would not face a re-election challenge until 2018.<\/p>\n
Recall committee, Chairman, Tom Greshik says his group was prompted to act by what he called “corruption” in the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office when Deputy Elizabeth Kapp was terminated in February.<\/p>\n
Greshik said the recall process is an attempt to restore trust in the Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n
Kapp had accused Deputy Falk of using a Sheriff’s Office vehicle to pull a personal boat verbally in October and in writing through her attorney in January. A review of the accusations by Fritz Fremgen, Stutsman County state’s attorney, resulted in no criminal charges.<\/p>\n
Kapp’s letter of termination, signed by Kaiser, said she was terminated for violations of the Peace Officer’s Code of Conduct and Stutsman County policy.<\/p>\n
Greshik said Kapp was not associated with the recall effort.<\/p>\n
Lee Ann Oliver, the election specialist for the North Dakota Secretary of State’s Office, said the office had received a proposed petition Wednesday and was reviewing the document.<\/p>\n
If the review finds no problems with the wording of the petition, it would be approved for the collection of signatures sometime between March 21 and March 27. The petition committee has one year to gather 2,330 signatures which amounts to 25 percent of the 9,332 people who voted in the governor’s race in Stutsman County during the last election.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Park Board has approved a joint powers agreement with the city of Jamestown with the $28.6 million Dougherty bond sale to build the Two Rivers Activity Center.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Parks and Recreation, Director Doug Hogan said the project\u2019s bond attorney recommended that the commission approve the joint powers agreement. The city is still revising provisions to ensure protection of the buyer\u2019s investment and that it would show a return.<\/p>\n
The Park Board directed Hogan, commission Chair Mike Landscoot and Bonnie Ukestad, newly appointed business manager, to approve the joint powers agreement with any changes reviewed by the bond consultant.<\/p>\n
In his report, Hogan said the TRAC project is less than 5 percent over budget, but the contractor, McGuff and Zerr Berg Architects, is confident the project will be at or under budget and will make every effort to use local subcontractors. Easement issues might require reductions to the swimming pool lanes from 75 to 71 feet unless a variance is approved.\u3000<\/p>\n
The commission also voted 4-1 to renew a one-year bar contract to sell alcohol at Hillcrest Municipal Golf Course. Commission Vice Chair Ron Olson and Commissioners Larry Knoblich, Richard Ryan and Mark Ukestad voted to approve the renewal of a one-year bar contract, while Landscoot voted no.<\/p>\n
In other business the Park Board declined to increase ice-time rates at the winter sports building. The rates remain $50 for non-prime hours and $55 for prime hours.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Regional Airport Authority is reviewing information concerning two airlines bidding to provide commercial airline passenger service for 2016-2018 under the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s Essential Air Service program.<\/p>\n
The current carrier, SkyWest Airlines is one of the bidders for the 2016-2018 EAS contract. The other bidder is Great Lakes Aviation, the airline that used to provide commercial passenger service between Jamestown to Minneapolis before suspending its service in late January 2014 due to a lack of pilots.<\/p>\n
SkyWest Airlines’ 2016-2018 bid would offer 12 flights a week using the CRJ-200 jet airplane that sits 50 passengers, with flights from Denver International Airport to Jamestown and Devils Lake regional airports. The airline would continue to contract with United Express to provide commercial passenger jet service and provide codeshare with United and receive $2.79 million annually to fly into Jamestown and $3.99 million annually to fly into Devils Lake for a total of $6.78 million annually.<\/p>\n
The Great Lakes Aviation bid would offer 18 flights a week to Jamestown Regional Airport and 14 flights per week to Devils Lake Regional Airport using a Beech 1900D 19-passenger airplane, with service to Minneapolis International Airport. Great Lakes Aviation would offer codeshare with Delta Airlines, meaning people could participate in Delta’s flyer miles program and reap other benefits. Great Lakes would receive $3.25 million annually for flying into Jamestown and receive $2.88 million for flying into Devils Lake annually for a total of $6.13 million annually.<\/p>\n
The current EAS contract, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, expires on June 30. The Airport Authority\u2019s Commercial Air Service Committee, made up of Chairman Jim Boyd, member Brent Harris and Mayor Katie Andersen, reviewed the two bids received by the USDOT.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The South Central Dakota Regional Council Board of Directors Wednesday heard an update on the issue with the Stutsman County Commission.<\/p>\n
In September the County Commission voted to not include the dues in its 2016 budget.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is offering a grief support group for anyone who is grieving the loss of someone important to them, whether the loss is recent or from years past. The group will meet at 7:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church, 407 2nd<\/sup> Ave NE in Jamestown beginning on Thursday, April 7, 2016 and will run for 6 weeks.<\/p>\n On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JAGST member Diane Witzeg said in his book, “Understanding Your Grief,” <\/i>internationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, Dr. Alan Wolfelt states, “You can benefit from a connectedness that comes from people who have also had a death in their lives. Support groups, where people come together and share the common bond of experience, can be invaluable in helping you and your grief and supporting your need to mourn long after the event of the death”<\/i><\/p>\n She added that in our fast paced society, people who have had a significant loss are often expected to be \u2018over it\u2019 in a matter of a few weeks. They may even expect this of themselves. In reality, it may take years for someone to work through his or her grief. The support group experience allows individuals to express grief in their own unique way and on their own unique timetable.<\/p>\n She pointed out that the group is free of charge, however, participants are asked to register to ensure that enough materials are available. Participants should plan to attend all six sessions. For more information, or to register, please call Diane at 320-4915 or Eileen at 269-4521 (evenings).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Jamestown (CSi) Plans are set for the 5th<\/sup> Annual Father\/Daughter\/Grandfather Social Event, April 15, 2016, from 6-p.m., to 9-p.m., at the Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.<\/p>\n The Grand March is at 6:30-p.m.<\/p>\n The cost is $20 per couple, $25 at the door.<\/p>\n There will be cookies, bars, and corsages will be provided.<\/p>\n Music by Pit Stop Karaoke, DJ.<\/p>\n The social is a Stutsman County Relay for Life fundraiser.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Two specially appointed death penalty experts along with the Minnesota public defender’s office are asking a judge to transfer Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.’s case to a federal defender in Pennsylvania.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The change could lengthen an appeal that has already run nearly a decade.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The motion says the switch is needed because of staffing changes in both the federal system and the Minnesota office. The Pennsylvania office is one of two nationally with resources dedicated to death penalty cases.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal prosecutors planned to file a response within 10 days.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rodriguez, of Crookston, Minnesota, was convicted of killing Dru Sjodin (shuh-DEEN’), of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 39-year-old Thad Richard, of Manderson, South Dakota, allegedly abused the girls between 2007 and 2009 at a residence on base. He is accused of having sex with one of the children and fondling the other.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say the girls are from South Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents do not list an attorney for Richard, and a home telephone listing for him could not be found. He could enter pleas to three counts of felony gross sexual imposition at an April 21 court hearing. He could face life in prison without parole if convicted.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hamm says the number represents money recovered though the Insurance Department’s investigations against insurance companies, agents and health and prescription drug benefits.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hamm says his department received 189 fraud referrals last year, totaling more than $1 million in losses.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Obama announced Wednesday that he’s nominating federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to the high court.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Senate Republicans say they won’t fill the seat until after the presidential election and won’t consider the Democratic president’s nominees.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heitkamp, a Democrat, urged a hearing and a vote on the nomination. She says some U.S. senators are “playing politics with our highest court.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Hoeven says any nominee by Obama “will support the president’s regulatory agenda, which is counter to the interests of North Dakota.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The GOP-led Senate must confirm Garland’s nomination for him to serve on the court.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FARG0, N.D. (AP) – No one was hurt when a sport utility vehicle crashed into the YMCA Early Learning Center in Fargo.\u00a0The Wednesday morning crash pushed in a brick wall, shattered several windows and crushed two air conditioning units on the building’s exterior.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nelson formally announced on Wednesday that he’s seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. He says North Dakota is in an “emergency” situation with declining oil tax revenue and needs better leadership to fix and diversify the state’s economy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 57-year-old Nelson of Rolla has been a House member since 2011. He is an agricultural consultant and represents a district in northern North Dakota that includes the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Governor Jack Dalrymple (DAHL’-rimp-ul) announced in August that he wouldn’t seek re-election.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three Republicans are running for the seat: Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEN’-jem), Bismarck state Representative Rick Becker and Fargo businessman Doug Burgum.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 20-member team will be designed to respond to dangerous law enforcement situations, offer help during natural disasters and even act as extra security if needed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The joint effort includes members of the sheriff’s office, Williston Police Department, Northwest Narcotics Task Force and possibly the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sheriff’s Capt. Verlan Kvande (KWAWN’-dee) says the group is “greatly needed,” with the wait time for SWAT teams out of Minot or Dickinson being up to five hours.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Training and equipment for the group will be funded through local tax income.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hagerott formerly served as deputy director of the Center for Cyber Security Studies at the Naval Academy. He is spearheading changes in how the state’s colleges and universities handle cybersecurity.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The other keynote speaker is Kristin Judge, the director of special projects for the National Cyber Security Alliance.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The event is meant for professionals who work in education, government and industry to talk about challenges and solutions in cybersecurity.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The conference is scheduled to run from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday at North Dakota State University’s Memorial Union.
