Carrington   (CSi-NDDOT)  Wednesday 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.

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — Protesters trying to stop construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline are bracing for a confrontation with police after the demonstrators refused to leave private land in the pipeline’s path.

A months-long dispute over the four-state, $3.8 billion pipeline reached a crisis point when some 200 protesters set up camp on land owned by pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners.

Law enforcement officers demanded that the protesters leave on Wednesday and they refused. It appeared that only thick fog and cloudy skies kept a large contingent of law enforcement officers from moving in. Officials have frequently monitored protesters by air.

Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney said Wednesday that the rule of law must be enforced.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Financial disclosures show GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump owns stock in the company building the Dakota Access oil pipeline across the Midwest.

Trump’s 2016 federal disclosure forms, filed in May, show he owned between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners.

That’s down from stock listed at between $500,000 and $1 million in his form a year earlier.

Trump’s disclosure form also shows he holds between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips 66 stock, which has a one-quarter share of Dakota Access.

Campaign contribution disclosures show that Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren donated $3,000 to Trump’s campaign, plus $100,000 to a committee supporting Trump’s candidacy, as well as $66,800 to the Republican National Committee.

Trump’s stake and the donations were first reported Wednesday by The Guardian.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A week of ideal weather helped North Dakota farmers make progress on the harvest.

The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that the soybean, potato and sugar beet harvests all are approaching completion, at 89 percent or more done.

The sunflower and corn harvests both have surpassed one-third complete.

Winter wheat seeding is 94 percent complete, with 87 percent of the crop emerged.

Pasture and range conditions in North Dakota are rated 52 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 77 percent adequate to surplus.

 

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A chef with roots on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is eager to bring the food of his culture to a bigger audience.

Sean Sherman is preparing to open a restaurant in the Minneapolis area with a big boost from online fundraising. Sherman is an Oglala Lakota who says food is a “cultural identifier” that makes American Indians who they are.

His menus have featured such dishes as maple- and cedar-stewed bison; smoked walleye and fried sunchoke crisps; and sumac-stewed rabbit.

Sherman has a cookbook due out next fall. He hopes his style of cooking can become a model to improve nutrition in tribal communities that sometimes lack food options.

 

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.

 

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.

 

In sports…

Jamestown (CSi)  University of Jamestown Director of Athletics Sean Johnson has announced that Ashley Stubbs has been hired as the school’s new competitive cheer and dance coach.

Stubbs, who will graduate from the university in December, will recruit student-athletes this year to compete on the school’s first competitive cheer and dance teams beginning in the fall of 2017-18.

The Galt, California, native has over a dozen years of cheerleading experience and served as an assistant coach at the high school level.

She has also served two internships in the University of Jamestown Athletics Department and is a current cross country student-athlete after competing for two years as a member of the Jimmie track teams, including last year’s North Star Athletic Association championship squad.

Johnson says, “Ashley has the drive, determination and skill to not only get our competitive cheer and dance program up and running, but to make it a successful program.

Stubbs says, “I’m excited to be starting our cheer and dance program from the ground up and to have the opportunity to represent my alma mater and wear the black and orange.

The Jimmie competitive cheer and dance teams were approved as affiliate members in the Great Plains Athletic Conference beginning next fall before the school becomes a full member in the fall of 2018-19.

 

Jamestown  (CSi-UJ) The Jamestown Jimmie  hockey team makes  the ACHA Division 1 Top 25, poll  lat Number 25.

The latest rankings, released Wednesday by the ACHA.

MLB….WORLD SERIES….

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jake Arrieta (ar-ee-EH’-tuh) was back in 2015 form Wednesday in Cleveland. So was Kyle Schwarber as the Chicago Cubs earned a 5-1 victory over the Indians to even the World Series at a game apiece.

Arrieta had a no-hitter until Jason Kipnis hit a one-out double in the sixth. Kipnis came around to score on a wild pitch, moments before Mike Napoli (NAP’-oh-lee) singled to end Arrieta’s night after 5 2/3 innings.

Arrieta struck out six and walked three in addition to allowing two hits.

Schwarber was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles following a 1-for-3 performance in his return to the lineup in Game 1 on Tuesday. Schwarber missed the entire National League playoffs and all but two regular-season games after tearing knee ligaments on April 7 at Arizona.

The teams have a day off today  before resuming the Fall Classic Friday at Wrigley Field. Kyle Hendricks will take the mound for Chicago in Game 3 against Josh Tomlin.

Indians skipper Terry Francona has announced that Game 1 winner Corey Kluber will start Game 4 on Saturday in Chicago.

 

 

NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The David Fizdale era as Memphis coach didn’t get off to a glowing start.

The end of his opening night was much more enjoyable.

The Grizzlies climbed out of a 16-1 hole, put together 16 straight points early in the second half and beat Minnesota 102-98 on Wednesday night, spoiling Tom Thibodeau’s debut as Timberwolves coach.

Memphis, which still trailed with 1:45 remaining, closed the game on an 11-5 run to seal the win for Fizdale, the former Miami Heat assistant who was hired to replace Dave Joerger in the offseason.

WORLD SERIES-RATINGS

NEW YORK (AP) — The Indians’ 6-0 win over the Cubs in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday drew an 11.9 rating and a 19 share on Fox, averaging 19.4 million viewers.

The audience was up 30 percent from the 14.9 million average for last year’s opener, a 14-inning win by Royals over the Mets. It’s also the most since Philadelphia’s victory over the New York Yankees in 2009 averaged 19.5 million.

 

MLB-LABOR

CLEVELAND (AP) — There’s some good news on baseball’s labor front.

Commissioner Rob Manfred is hopeful an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement will be reached before the current deal expires Dec. 1.

Negotiators for management and the players’ association have been meeting in New York this week. The 2006 contract was announced during the World Series, and the 2011 agreement on Nov. 22.

Manfred said whether an agreement is reached during this year’s Fall Classic “depends on how long the World Series goes.”

MLB-AARON AWARD

Ortiz, Bryant honored

CLEVELAND (AP) — Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz and Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant have received the Hank Aaron Award as the top hitter in their respective league.

The 40-year-old Ortiz took American League honors after hitting .315 with 38 home runs, 127 RBIs and 48 doubles in the 20th and final season of his major league career. His 541 career home runs rank 17th all-time.

The 24-year-old Bryant batted .292 with 39 home runs and 102 RBIs while helping the Cubs cruise to the National League Central title and a subsequent spot in the World Series.

 

NFL-BRONCOS…

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware has returned to practice for the first time since breaking his right forearm in a game on Sept. 18.

The 5-2 Broncos are hoping Ware can play Sunday when they face the surging 3-4 San Diego Chargers.
