Jamestown (CSi) The James River Valley Library System, Director Joe Rector reports, that the new bookmobile is slated to be in town on January 30th.
He adds, when the new bookmobile arrives, the Stutsman County Library will be closed for a day so the staff can train driving it.
Rector has gotten permission to park the present bookmobile at the Buffalo City Diesel location until it can be sold.
Rector says the total bookmobile cost is $239,501, adding that five percent of the total bookmobile cost remains. The library receives a grant for $35,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture when the bookmobile arrives in Jamestown.
Jamestown (CSi) When summer arrives, Jamestown Regional Airport will be undergoing improvement projects.
The Jamestown Regional Airport Authority has voted to approve the taxi lane reconstruction project at the General Aviation hangar area on the west side.
Being revised is the 2017, wetlands project stemming from input from outside agencies, and changes needing approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
On another note, Airport Authority Chairman Jim Boyd will be serving his final year on the Airport Authority Board, finishing out his five year term.
The airport’s runway use has been approved for the Jamestown Drag Racing Association drags, to be held on July 15-16, 2017.
ROLLA, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a sheriff’s deputy and a suspect are dead after a shootout in northern North Dakota that involved several officers firing weapons.
Rolette County Sheriff Gerald Medrud says 29-year-old Colt Allery had been with the department for three months after previously working for other area law agencies.
The incident began about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday when officers responded to a stolen vehicle call. Deputies pursued the vehicle for about 15 miles before a shootout began at a remote intersection south of Belcourt, a town near the Canadian border that’s about 60 miles from Devils Lake.
The suspect, who has not been identified, also was killed. Medrud says three other deputies involved in the shooting have been placed on standard administrative leave. North Dakota’s state crime bureau is investigating the case.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Six police officers suffered minor injuries and one protester was taken to a hospital after a clash between law enforcement and opponents of the Dakota Access pipeline in southern North Dakota.
The Morton County Sheriff’s Office says the clash occurred Wednesday night at a blockaded bridge near the protesters’ main encampment along the route of the $3.8 billion pipeline to carry North Dakota oil to Illinois. Opponents worry the pipeline will harm the environment.
Authorities say the officers used less-than-lethal ammunition against protesters, including bean bag rounds and tear gas.
The officers suffered ankle, shoulder, wrist and hand injuries. The protester who was taken to a hospital suffered a face injury. Protesters reported other injuries on social media.
Twenty-one protesters were arrested, bringing total arrests since Aug. 10 to 624.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Williams County officials have reinstated a fine against an oil transportation company for failing to pay fees and comply with zoning regulations while it was operating company housing several years ago.
County commissioners decided Tuesday to impose a $1.2 million fine against Western Petroleum LLC and its parent company, Pilot Logistics.
The total amount is a $1,000 fine for each day the company failed to pay fees for non-renewal of a conditional use permit, being out of compliance with zoning regulations and operating temporary housing.
A fine of $29.6 million was first issued to Western Petroleum in 2014 after officials discovered the lapses.
In response to the fines, the company has filed a suit in district court.
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A woman who prosecutors said ran a drug trafficking ring that stretched from northern Idaho to North Dakota has pleaded guilty in federal court.The Spokesman-Review reports 52-year-old Loren Michelle Toelle of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and conspiracy to launder money.
Prosecutors said Toelle, who worked as a stripper in Las Vegas, used her former husband’s money to distribute oxycodone, heroin and methamphetamine. Toelle recently divorced Coeur d’Alene gastroenterologist Dr. Stanley Toelle, and maintains he had no part in the criminal behavior. The doctor is also facing charges in the case and is set to stand trial in March.
Loren Toelle is the ninth of 11 defendants to plead guilty in connection with the drug ring. U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson said in a prepared statement that the case shows that officials in Idaho will bring to justice those “who seek to poison communities with dangerous, addictive drugs.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Residents of a largely rural corner of North Dakota are fiercely opposing a plan that would move them into the same time zone as the rest of the state. Few subjects set off a parochial debate in the state like a move to reset the clocks. A bill under consideration in the Legislature would not only move southwestern North Dakota from Mountain time to Central but also scrap daylight saving time.

Andrew Wiggins added 27 points, including two free throws with five seconds left that helped Minnesota snap its six-game road losing streak.

The Clippers played without star point guard Chris Paul, who tore a ligament in his left thumb Monday during a 120-98 victory over Oklahoma City. Paul underwent surgery Wednesday and is expected to be out six to eight weeks.

ROD CAREW-SURGERY
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Baseball Hall of Famer Rod Carew has passed the one-month mark since a heart and kidney transplant with no signs of rejection.
Carew tells the American Heart Association News he’s “doing great” since the 13-hour operation on December 16th. He’s spent the last week in a rehabilitation center and expects to return home soon.
Carew says he wants to remind people to get their hearts checked. His donor was a 29-year-old man.
The 71-year-old former Twins and Angels star had a heart attack in September 2015 and later had a device implanted in his heart.
Carew played from 1967 to 1985. He was a seven-time American League batting champion and first-ballot selection to the Hall of Fame.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Andy Murray didn’t let an ankle injury stop him from reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open.
The five-time finalist dropped just 10 games in dispatching American Sam Querrey, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Murray displayed no side effects from the right ankle injury he sustained during his last match.
Meanwhile, defending women’s champion Angelique Kerber finally had an easy match. Kerber won the first eight games of a 6-0, 6-4 win over Kristyna Pliskova. The top-ranked Kerber had been extended to three sets in her first two matches at Melbourne.
Next up for the German is American Coco Vandeweghe (VAN’-deh-way), who is in the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the third time following a three-set win over Eugenie Bouchard (yoo-JEE’-nee boo-SHAHRD’).
Other third-round winners on the women’s side were eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova (kooz-NET’-soh-vah) and No. 24 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (pav-loo-CHEHN’-koh-vah), who knocked off 11th-seed Elina Svitolina (svih-toh-LEE’-nuh).

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump supporters arrived before dawn today to await security screenings in the hopes of securing a good viewing spot for his inauguration as the nation’s 45th president. Republicans control the White House for the first time in eight years. Trump will attend church with his family, then meet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for tea at the White House.
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal courtroom in New York is set to receive one of the world’s most notorious drug kingpins today after he was extradited from Mexico. Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s transfer was two decades in the making. U.S. efforts continued even as Guzman made brazen prison escapes and spent years on the run in Mexico. He’ll face drug trafficking and other charges.
FARINDOLA, Italy (AP) — Hopes have been raised with the discovery of eight people alive in the rubble of an Italian hotel today, two days after an avalanche tore through the mountain resort and trapped an estimated 30 people inside. An AP photographer and a producer say three helicopters landed at the scene, including an air ambulance. Italian media are reporting that at least five of the survivors have been located and are being rescued.
PARIS (AP) — The damage is devastating in the Syrian city of Aleppo. UNESCO, which conducted an emergency mission between Monday and Thursday, says that “60 percent of the old city of Aleppo has been severely damaged, with 30 percent totally destroyed.” Pro-government forces recaptured Aleppo in December, ending rebels’ four-year hold on parts of Syria’s once largest and most important city.
