Oriska (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, a two vehicle crash on Saturday October 8, 2016 resulted in the death of one person and injured three others, about 2:20-p.m. at the Junction of Highway 32 and Barnes County Road 6, North of Oriska.

The report released on Thursday says, 52 year-old Sandra Meyer of Hillsboro and passenger 23 year old Rachel Meyer, also of Hillsboro were westbound in a 2011 GMC Acadia SUV on Barnes County Road 6.

A 2013 Buick Lacrosse operated by 59 year old Clayton Schumaker of Bismarck was southbound on Highway 32. Meyer failed to stop at the intersection of the two roads and hit the Buick on the driver’s side, in a T-bone collision. Both vehicles entered the ditch.

Schumaker and his 88 year-old Alice Anderson of Hope were flown by Barnes County Life Flight, to Sanford Hospital in Fargo for medical treatment.

Sandra Meyer and her passenger 23 year old Rachel Meyer of Hillsboro, received minor injuries.

The reports says Anderson died on October 11th from injuries received in the crash.

All occupants were wearing seat belts.

Charges are pending against Meyer.

Assisting the Highway Patrol were the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office, and Barnes County Rescue.

The crash remains under investigation.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Tourism Board held a community ribbon cutting on Thursday at Jack Brown Stadium in Jamestown to kick off the Talking Trail program

Jamestown (CSi) All of North Dakota now has access to 9-1-1 texting, but, only as a secondary option if a voice call is not possible.

On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Stutsman County 9-1-1 Coordinator, and Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist said the service is good for individuals in danger who can’t pick up the phone. Texting could work best in situations where speaking could put the caller in more danger, such as during a break-in or a domestic violence situation, and could mean the difference between life or death.

He pointed out that the service will also be helpful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Bergquist said calling is preferred because dispatchers can learn more from a phone call and can get real time answers and a location.

It is important for texters to include their location and send messages without abbreviations or slang.

Customers of any of the six cellular carriers operating in the State (AT&T, Sagebrush, Sprint, SRT, T-Mobile and Verizon) can now send a text to 9-1-1 in an emergency, and that message will be routed to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for response.

He added that all texts to 9-1-1 in the state are sent to the Red River Regional Dispatch Center in Fargo, where a team processes the messages and contacts dispatch in the location where the text was sent.

Bergquist said of the 22 Public Safety Answering Points in the state, only Cass, Grand Forks, Walsh and Williams counties have the equipment to process texts. Stutsman County is waiting for an equipment change, and it will be another two years before it can receive texts.

The texting service is part of the Next Generation 911 program, which is working to improve emergency response systems across the country.

In about two years, individuals will be able to send photos and videos to 9-1-1, with the additional information sent to responders, so they have a better idea of what they are responding to.

Bergquist said it is important for people to remember, “Call if you can, text if you can’t.”

If there is an emergency and you are unable to make a call, remember these steps:

Enter “911” in the To Text to 9-1-1: Type 911 in the “To field”.
It is essential for users to include in the message their location including house number, street address and city.
It should also include a description of the type of emergency and help needed.
Text in simple words – Send a short text message without abbreviations or slang.
Some examples are:
Send Police. 123 Best Avenue. Jamestown. Intruder in home.
Send Ambulance. 555 88^th 2 vehicle crash.
Be prepared to answer questions and follow instructions from the 9-1-1 call taker.

There are challenges that come with Text to 9-1-1, so a voice call is always preferred if possible and safe.

You need a text or data plan is required to place a text to 9-1-1 message.
Text to 9-1-1 is unable to accept photos and videos at this time.
As will all text messages, it may take longer to receive a text, it may arrive out of order, and it may not be received at all.
In some situations, if you are roaming on another carrier’s network, text-to-911 may not work.
Text to 9-1-1 is not available in every state, and if your text message happens to go through a cell tower in another state (calls near the border), you may receive a message that the service is unavailable.
Text to 9-1-1 cannot include more than one person. Do not send your emergency text to anyone other than 9-1-1
Don’t Abuse 9-1-1—Text-to-9-1-1 service is ONLY for emergencies.
It is a crime to text or call 9-1-1 with a false report.
While the Text to 9-1-1 service is unable to accept photos or videos at this time, it is an area that will be developed in the future.

Remember – Call if you can. Text if you can’t.

MOORETON, N.D. (AP) — A Grand Forks woman is dead after being struck by a pickup truck on Interstate 29 in southeastern North Dakota.

The Highway Patrol says the 27-year-old woman was walking in the traffic lanes shortly before midnight Thursday when she was hit. She had been a passenger in a vehicle that had pulled onto the highway’s shoulder for unknown reasons.

The woman was declared dead at the scene near Mooreton in Richland County. She wasn’t immediately identified. The driver of the pickup truck wasn’t hurt.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s oil production in August dropped below 1 million barrels per day for the first time in more than two years.

The Department of Mineral Resources says the state produced an average of 981,039 barrels of oil daily in August, down from 1.029 million barrels of oil daily in July.

North Dakota surpassed the million-barrel-per-day mark in April 2014 and set a production record in December 2014 at 1.22 million barrels daily.

North Dakota also produced 1.64 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in August, down from 1.69 billion cubic feet daily in July.

Oil production numbers typically lag at least two months.

There were 33 drill rigs operating in North Dakota’s oil patch Thursday, down from the high of 218 in May 2012.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and four other Democratic senators are asking President Barack Obama to halt construction of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline until a full environmental review can be completed.

In a statement, the senators said Thursday the request is due to a federal appeals court denying the Standing Rock Sioux’s motion for a temporary work stoppage in southern North Dakota within 20 miles of Lake Oahe. The feds stopped construction on land bordering and under the lake in order to review the permitting process.

An environmental review would likely delay the pipeline, which Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners hopes to complete by the end of the year.

White House spokesman Patrick Rodenbush declined to comment.

The other senators are Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Dianne Feinstein of California, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Health Department says it is working with Continental Resources to help clean up after a natural gas leak in McKenzie County.

Department spokesman Bill Suess (sees) says an undetermined volume of natural gas and other hydrocarbons was released, as well as a mixture of saltwater and oil.

Suess says it’s not known how much produced water was spilled, but it is likely less than 10 barrels. It’s not known how long cleanup will take.

The accident happened Tuesday when a blowout preventer valve malfunctioned.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s corn and soybean crops are both expected to set records this year.

The Agriculture Department says corn production is forecast at 445 million bushels, up 36 percent from 2015. The soybean crop is pegged at 234 million bushels, up 26 percent from a year ago.

Sunflower production is expected to be up 1 percent, canola up 3 percent to a record, and sugar beets up 6 percent.

The report forecasts dry edible bean production in North Dakota to be down 3 percent and alfalfa hay to be down 12 percent.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The owner of Dakota Square Mall in Minot plans to close the facility on Thanksgiving.

The move mirrors other retailers around the country including the Mall of America in Minnesota that are taking a stand against the growing trend of Thanksgiving shopping.

Dakota Square mall movie theaters and retailers will have the option of opening on Thanksgiving Thursday if they have exterior entrances. Otherwise, the mall will be closed until 6 a.m. Friday.

The day after Thanksgiving is generally known as Black Friday, the kickoff to the holiday shopping season and the busiest shopping day of the year.

In sports…

Jamestown (UJ-CSi) At a press conference held on Thursday, October 13, 2016, The University of Jamestown announced that it will be leaving the North Star Athletic Association to join the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in the Fall of 2018.
By joining the GPAC, one of the NAIA’s top conferences, the Jimmies will compete with 11 private colleges and universities from South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.

UJ Athletics Director Sean Johnson says, “This is a great day for the University of Jamestown, Jimmie Athletics and our student-athletes. This is an opportunity for us be associated with one of the best NAIA conferences in the country. We are very grateful to the GPAC Presidents and Athletic Directors.”
University of Jamestown President, Dr. Robert Badal continued, “In recent years, like many colleges and universities around the country, the University of Jamestown has faced change in athletic conference relationships. The demise of the DAC, a brief period as an independent, and a start up for a new North Star Conference have taken place quickly. We have now taken another step forward with a new conference alignment with the Great Plains Athletic Conference, and we are making that change for all of the right reasons for the future. We are thankful for our history and, at the same time, pleased to begin a new journey as a member of the GPAC Conference.”

By moving to the GPAC, the Jimmies will compete with the following schools: Briar Cliff University, College of Saint Mary, Concordia University, Dakota Wesleyan University, Doane University, Dordt College, Hastings College, Midland University, Morningside College, Mount Marty College, and Northwestern College.

UJ then will no longer plays such rivals as VCSU and Mayville State.

About GPAC

The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) is an affiliated conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), consisting of 11 private, faith-based colleges and universities in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Originally founded in 1969 as the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC), the league retains four of the six charter members – Concordia, Doane, Hastings, and Midland.

In 1992, the NIAC added Northwestern and became the Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference. Eight years later, Dakota Wesleyan, Dordt, Mount Marty and Sioux Falls joined the conference which became the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in 2000-2001.

Briar Cliff entered the league in 2002-2003 and Morningside joined starting with the 2003-2004 school year. Both schools are in Sioux City, Iowa.

In the summer of 2010 Dana College ceased operations (Member from 1969-2010) and in 2011 The University of Sioux Falls discontinued membership in the GPAC (Member from 2000-2011). Nebraska Wesleyan discontinued membership in 2016 (Member from 1969-2016).
In 2015 the GPAC added College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska, as a member.

The GPAC sponsors 21 intercollegiate sports – nine for women, ten for men, and cheer & dance as a co-ed offering – and awards an All-Sports Trophy based on the final league standings and conference meet results at the end of each school year. Competitive Cheer and Dance is the most recently added championship sport in the GPAC (starting with 2016-17 after three years of invitational status).

Since the 2005-2006 school year the GPAC has awarded the Christopherson All-Academic Award. The award is a traveling trophy to be presented annually to the GPAC institution with the best academic performance by its student-athletes in all sports. The award is named in honor of Dr. Myrvin Christopherson, former President of Dana College. Christopherson had served as the first chair of the GPAC Council of Presidents. Concordia is the most recent winner of the Christopherson All-Academic Award. In conjunction with the Christopherson All-Academic Award annually the GPAC boasts more than 600 NAIA Scholar-Athletes.
Through our first 16 years as a conference the GPAC has 23 NAIA team National Champions.
First and foremost, the GPAC remains committed to Academic and Athletic Excellence!
Corey Westra of Sioux City, Iowa, is the GPAC Commissioner and Lucas Mohrman of Columbus, Nebraska, is the GPAC Assistant Commissioner for Sports Information.

MLB…

NATIONAL LEAGUE

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Cubs and the Dodgers will square off Saturday in the NLCS. Justin Turner’s two-run triple capped a four-run seventh inning sending the Dodgers to a 4-3 win over Washington in the fifth and deciding game of the NLDS. Clayton Kershaw who won Games 1 and 4 for the Dodgers got the last two outs after the Nationals put two on in the ninth inning to earn the save.

The Cubs will start Jon Lester in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series Saturday against the Dodgers. The rest of their rotation depends on the health of Kyle Hendricks.

Hendricks left Game 2 of the Division Series against San Francisco when he was struck by a batted ball on his right forearm in the fourth inning. He had a bullpen session Thursday, and the Cubs are waiting to see how he feels Friday before confirming their rotation.

Lester pitched eight sparkling innings in the Cubs’ 1-0 victory over San Francisco in their playoff opener last Friday.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE…

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Philip Rivers threw for 178 yards and one touchdown leading San Diego over Denver 21-13. Rivers passed Hall of Famer Dan Fouts to become San Diego’s career passing leader,

Rivers threw a 5-yard scoring pass to rookie tight end Hunter Henry to cap the game’s first possession and help the Chargers rebound from a series of late-game losses this season. Josh Lambo kicked four field goals for the 2-4 Chargers.

Trevor Siemian (SIH’-mee-ihn) went 30 of 50 for 230 yards and a touchdown for Denver. His desperation pass from the Chargers 45 yard line with eight seconds to go was batted down, leaving the Broncos with their second straight loss and a 4-2 record.

CARSON WENTZ-BIG TIPPER…

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz demonstrated his winning ways during the team’s bye week.

The 24-year-old drafted out of North Dakota State returned there during the Eagles’ off week and ran up a $1,000 tab while playing darts and shooting pool with some friends. He then picked up the tab and left a $500 tip.

Brent Tehven owns the Herd and Horns Bar and Grill in Fargo, and is friends with Wentz. He vouched for the quarterback’s generosity with various media outlets, including WTXF-TV in Philadelphia.

The station says Philly-style cheesesteak sandwiches are becoming popular in Fargo restaurants because of Wentz’s successful rookie season, as are replicas of his Number 11 Eagles jersey.

GOLF…

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Scott Piercy had 12 birdies during a course-record 10-under 62 that gave him the lead after the first round of the PGA Tour’s season opening Safeway Open. That puts him two shots ahead of Paul Casey and Patton Kizzire.

INCHEON, South Korea (AP) — Hall of Fame golfer Se Ri Pak (SAY REE PAHK) has brought an end to her 19-year career after shooting an 8-over 80 at the LPGA’s KEB HanaBank Championship.

In world and national news…

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump says he doesn’t know and never met some of the women accusing him of sexual assault. Trump calls the allegations “vicious claims” and blames Hillary Clinton’s campaign and a complicit news media. Supporters cheered Trump at a Florida rally yesterday, as he denied the allegations.

BEIJING (AP) — Hillary Clinton privately said the U.S. would “ring China with missile defense” if the Chinese government failed to curb North Korea’s nuclear program. Clinton’s remarks were revealed by WikiLeaks in a hack of the Clinton campaign chairman’s personal account. The emails include a document of excerpts of Clinton’s private speech transcripts, which she has refused to release.

KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — Nations are working toward a deal to phase out hydrofluorocarbons from air conditioners and refrigerators as part of efforts to fight climate change. Scientists say an agreement could put a half-degree Celsius dent in global warming by the end of the century. Major economies are still debating how fast to phase out HFCs, but hope to reach a compromise by the end of the day. The United States and Western countries want quick action.

UNDATED (AP) — An analysis of reports of serious accidental shootings in the United States finds that a lot more are occurring with children 17 years old and younger than government statistics show. The Associated Press and the USA TODAY Network gathered information from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonpartisan research group, news reports and public sources. They say that during the first six months of this year, an accidental fatal shooting involving a child occurred at a pace of one every other day.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — This might create a little discord at home. Nigeria’s first lady is questioning whether her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari (moo-HAH’-mah-doo boo-HAH’-ree), is in control of his government. Aisha Buhari says she may not campaign for her husband if he seeks a second term. Mrs. Buhari tells the BBC that her husband doesn’t know many top government appointees, and they don’t share the vision of his party.
