Carrington (CSi-NDDOT) Wedneday morning the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) Director Grant Levi along with Carrington Mayor, Neil Fandrich and other local officials celebrated the completion of the new roundabout at the intersection of ND Highway 200 and US Highway 52 in Carrington with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The US Highway 52 project, which includes the roundabout plus widening and paving 24 miles of highway west of Carrington, cost $19.8 million and was funded with federal and state funding. Construction began on the project last May and the roundabout was opened to traffic today.
NDDOT Director Grant Levi, said, “Over 5,000 vehicles a day travel this corridor. With the completion of this project we have enhanced transportation safety by improving rural US Highway 52 and adding a roundabout to the intersection of Highway 52 and 200. We appreciate the close partnership with the city of Carrington and area businesses as well as the patience of the traveling public while we worked on this project.”
Roundabouts have been shown to reduce high speed crashes and improve traffic flow compared to traditional intersections with other types of traffic control.
Mayor Neil Fandrich added, “The construction of the roundabout has been a very positive thing for the city of Carrington. Motorists are getting used to driving through it and it has helped tremendously with the flow of traffic.”
Motorists should be aware of the new driving pattern through the roundabout and remember to yield to traffic already in the roundabout. More information about driving through a roundabout is available at dot.nd.gov.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Police in South Dakota have arrested the pilot of a SkyWest Airlines plane on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol.
Rapid City police were notified shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday that the pilot smelled of alcohol. Police say they determined the 38-year-old pilot from Salt Lake City was in violation of a South Dakota law prohibiting the operation of an aircraft with a blood-alcohol content above 0.04 percent.
The flight was bound for Salt Lake City.
SkyWest said in a statement that it holds its employees “to the highest standards of professionalism,” and apologized to passengers for the delay. The airline based in St. George, Utah, says the pilot has been placed on administrative leave and removed from flying duties during an investigation.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Activists protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota say they believe law enforcement officers are planning to take action soon to remove them from private land owned by the pipeline company.
Protester Mekasi Camp Horinek said Wednesday that activists “are going to hold this spot,” and the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has put five ambulances on standby.
Protesters moved last weekend onto the private land just north of the main protest camp, which is on federal land. They’re hoping to block completion of the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline that they fear could harm cultural sites and drinking water for the tribe.
Energy Transfer Partners, which is building the pipeline, said Tuesday that the protesters are trespassing and that “lawless behavior will not be tolerated.”
State Emergency Services spokeswoman Cecily Fong wouldn’t comment Wednesday on any plans to remove the protesters.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Nearly all of the $6 million in emergency funding earmarked for law enforcement costs related to the Dakota Access pipeline protest in North Dakota has been used up.
The state’s Emergency Commission approved the money in late September, but North Dakota Department of Emergency Services spokeswoman Cecily Fong says nearly $5.8 million has already been used.
The department will ask for more money, though Fong didn’t immediately know how much or when.
The money is borrowed from the state-owned Bank of North Dakota and will need to be paid back with interest. The Emergency Services Department will ask the Legislature to do so next year.
Protests supporting the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s opposition to the pipeline have been ongoing for months, with more than 260 people arrested so far.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — United Airlines will continue to serve the Dickinson airport in the western North Dakota oil patch for another two years.
United announced earlier this year that it planned to discontinue twice-daily nonstop service between Dickinson and Denver, effective Sept. 27.
The federal Transportation Department in July ordered United not to stop service until a new contract could be awarded under the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes flights to rural cities.
The state’s congressional delegation says the department has selected United for a $4.1 million contract to provide subsidized service through September 2018.
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say a South Dakota woman could face life in prison for allegedly beating her five-year-old daughter to death.
Officials say 25-year-old Desarae Makes Him First has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, assault resulting in serious bodily injury to a child and child abuse.
Authorities allege that in October on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Makes Him First repeatedly hit her child, causing injuries that led to her death. Court records say Makes Him First initially blamed the injuries on a fall down the stairs.
But Makes Him First allegedly later told authorities that in one instance she punched the girl repeatedly because she was angry the child had spilled milk.
Makes Him First’s attorney didn’t immediately return a telephone message requesting comment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court has approved changes to how lawyers are investigated and punished for professional misconduct.
The new rules will take effect March 1.
The biggest change is the Bismarck-based disciplinary counsel’s office will investigate the complaints and then provide reports to the regional committees, who will maintain their authority to rule on them. Currently, the committees investigate complaints from their regions with the disciplinary counsel’s help.
The update comes after a 2014 American Bar Association review concluded the disciplinary system could be more professional, streamlined and transparent.
The Joint Committee on Attorney Standards drafted rule recommendations, which were presented to the high court in May.
James Ganje, staff counsel for the joint committee, told the court the current system, handled by volunteers, is often a slow process.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is defending his decision to take a break from the campaign trail to attend a ribbon-cutting for his new hotel. And he’s blasting critics for not making as big a deal of rival Hillary Clinton’s decision to attend an Adele concert last night for her birthday. Trump tells ABC News that he “built one of the great hotels of the world.” He asks, “What am I supposed to do, not show up?” Trump adds that he thinks he’s entitled to take an hour off.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The group that oversees the Hollywood Walk of Fame says it’s working to quickly repair damage to Donald Trump’s star after it was vandalized. Los Angeles police are investigating after blows from a hammer destroyed the GOP presidential candidate’s star early Wednesday. A man who identified himself as Jamie Otis says he’s responsible for the damage. Otis tells Deadline Hollywood that he originally intended to remove the star and auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing Trump of sexual assault.
HAVANA, Cuba (AP) — Cuban state TV is calling Wednesday’s United Nations vote a historic victory for Cuba. Instead of voting against it, the United States abstained for the first time as the General Assembly approved a resolution condemning the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba. But the Cuban government points out that the vote is meaningless without action by Congress — where majority Republicans support the embargo.
UNDATED (AP) — A new study says 17 teenagers who were conceived with the DNA of three people as far back as the 1990s appear to be healthy. They show no sign of unusual health problems and are doing well in school. The children resulted from an experimental procedure designed to overcome infertility. Each of them was conceived with three sources of genetic material: the mother’s egg, the father’s sperm, and fluid from a donor’s egg. The follow-up study on the children’s health was released by the journal Reproductive BioMedicine Online.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians are hoping to beat the rain and play Wednesday’s second game of the World Series. The start time this evening was moved up by an hour because of the forecast. But a light drizzle began around noon, and the chance of rain is 40 to 50 percent through 8 p.m. Cleveland won last night’s opener, 6-to-nothing.
