Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Fire Department was called out about 8:10 a.m., Monday for an extrication involving a one vehicle rollover, on I-94 at mile marker 266.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville, operated by 58 year old Gregory Rasmussen of Valley City was westbound about 7:50-a.m.,when he failed to maintain control of the vehicle on the ice-covered roadway.
The car slid across the westbound lane, entered the median, and overturned.
Rasmussen was transported by Jamestown Area Ambulance Service, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
He was wearing a seat belt.
Rasmussen was charged with care required.
City Fire Cheif Jim Reuther says the fire department cut the top off the car and extricated Rasmussen, with 10 firefighters and two units on the scene.
The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene, with first aid and traffic control.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s three Republican presidential electors have cast their support for Donald Trump.
Some Trump opponents have responded to his victory by trying to persuade Electoral College voters to break with the results in their state.
That didn’t happen in Monday’s vote in North Dakota, where Trump was an easy winner last month over Hillary Clinton.
North Dakota has three of the 538 votes in the Electoral College, which elects the president and vice president of the United States.
North Dakota’s electors are John Olson of Bismarck, Bev Clayburgh of Grand Forks and Duane Mutch of Larimore.
Since North Dakota became a state in 1889, Republican candidates have swept its electoral votes in all but six presidential elections. No Democrat has carried the state since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The first trial of people charged in protests of the Dakota Access pipeline has been postponed. Ten people charged with disorderly conduct during the protests were scheduled for a joint misdemeanor trial Monday. But the Bismarck Tribune reports after prospective jurors were convened, it was announced that the trial would be postponed. The defendants were arrested Aug. 11 after they allegedly pushed through law enforcement lines or police tape to access a construction site.
FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is considering forming a tribal utilities commission to govern infrastructure projects on its land.
Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II tells The Bismarck Tribune the battle over the Dakota Access pipeline near the reservation has shown flaws in federal and state law pertaining to tribal consultation and input on infrastructure projects — something he feels a tribal utilities commission could rectify.
Archambault says the commission would have authorities over all utilities infrastructure. He says the creation of a commission wouldn’t rule out the possibility of crude oil pipelines on the reservation, despite the opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline.
Archambault says the tribe would first need to create a regulatory code before forming a commission. Once written, the new code must garner tribal member feedback for 30 days.
In world and national news…
BERLIN (AP) — German media are reporting a truck has run into a crowded Christmas market in the center of Berlin, causing multiple injuries. Two newspapers say the truck ran into the market outside a landmark church. Both newspapers reported it wasn’t yet clear whether the incident was an accident or some kind of an attack on the market.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s interior minister says the gunman who assassinated Russia’s ambassador to Turkey Monday was a policeman. He says the man had worked for the riot police squad in Ankara for the past 2 1/2 years. Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov was several minutes into a speech at an embassy-sponsored photo exhibition when he was shot. The assassin was later killed by police. During the attack, he shouted, “Don’t forget Aleppo” — the Syrian city that was a stronghold of rebels besieged by Russian-backed Syrian troops. The fighters and civilians remaining there are being evacuated.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry says Monday’s assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey was a “despicable attack.” He says it’s an assault on the rights of diplomats to safely represent their nations around the world. Syria’s foreign ministry calls it a “terrorist and cowardly” attack. It was through the Russian-Turkish diplomatic channel that an agreement was reached last week to evacuate the Syrian opposition from Aleppo.
UNDATED (AP) — Foes of Donald Trump had hoped to persuade some electors to vote for someone else during Monday’s Electoral College tally. That isn’t happening, despite protests around the country in state capitols where electors were meeting. But at least two electors in states that were won by Hillary Clinton resisted casting a vote for her, In Maine, an elector voted instead for Bernie Sanders, saying it was a message to Sanders’ supporters that they had been heard. But his vote was ruled improper, and he changed it to Clinton. An elector in Minnesota, who was a Sanders delegate at the convention, also refused to vote for Clinton today.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who’s been chosen by Donald Trump to be Army secretary — Vincent Viola — is known more for his success in business and sports than for his military background. The billionaire owns the NHL’s Florida Panthers. But Viola is also a 1977 West Point grad who has maintained his service ties since he left active duty. Viola was a key donor for the creation of West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center and has supported cadet programs.
