UPDATE

Jamestown  (CSi)  The City of Jamestown informs residents that crews from Rehrig Pacific have distributed the majority of the brown garbage containers to Jamestown single family households, mobile homes and most multi-unit housing (apartment) facilities.

It was hoped that all residents with the old green containers would have received their new brown containers by this time. Rehrig Pacific has ordered additional containers and, at this time, the City of Jamestown is unsure of when the containers will be available for distribution.
In the meantime, the City will be distributing the old green containers this week to those residents who have yet to receive their new brown container. The green containers will be delivered to area residents’ front yards and can be used until the new brown containers are available.
Upon completion of delivery of the new brown containers to all residents, container size change requests will then be carried out. We continue to request the public’s patience as we work to resolve these issues and any other concerns as they arise.
If you have had your green container picked up and have yet to receive a new brown garbage container, please contact City Hall at 701-252-5900.
Any questions relative to RECYCLING, please call 701-320-9218.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck police are looking for the driver of a vehicle that crashed into a house while traveling an estimated 90 mph on a city street.

The  crash happened about 3 a.m. Sunday. The car crashed through an unoccupied bedroom and two bathrooms, coming to rest on its roof in the yard.

A witness told police the car had become airborne after hitting a curb and then rolled, with four people crawling out and fleeing after it came to a stop.

Police later tracked down two of the passengers, one of whom was taken to a hospital with rib pain.

The incident is still under investigation, and no charges were immediately filed.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck police say a 10-year-old girl stole a car from the YMCA and took it for a joyride with her friends.

Authorities say the girl took the keys from a cubby at the gym Monday evening and went for a drive, picking up three friends along the way before eventually hitting a curb and flattening a tire.

The girl was cited for theft of a motor vehicle and released to her parents. The passengers weren’t cited.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota health officials say a child contracted a flu virus after coming into contact with a pig at the State Fair in Minot last month, the first such confirmed case in a state resident.

The Health Department says the child was hospitalized but has since been released and is recovering.

A second case associated with the fair has been identified in an out-of-state resident.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 418 people nationwide have contracted the flu from pigs since 2005.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A woman accused of helping her husband plan and cover up the killing of his ex-wife in Minot has pleaded not guilty.

Twenty-six-year-old Cynthia Wilder is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the 2015 stabbing death of Angila Wilder. She’s also accused of helping her husband, Richie Wilder, in his attempted escape from the Ward County Jail in August 2016.

Richie Wilder was sentenced last December to life in prison for the slaying of his ex-wife. He’s appealing his conviction.

Cynthia Wilder also could face life in prison if convicted. She remains jailed on $1 million bond. Her trial wasn’t immediately scheduled.

 

 

Jamestown  (CSi)  It’s been five years since the Deutscher family of West Fargo was killed in a head-on collision with an impaired driver on I-94 near Jamestown.

As part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, law enforcement statewide is honoring the family from August 18 through September 4, 2017.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol, along with the Barnes, Eddy, Foster, and Stutsman County Sheriffs’ Offices, and the Jamestown and Valley City Police Departments will participate in the increased impaired driving enforcement, and removing impaired drivers from North Dakota roads, coupled with education to the public to reinforce the importance of driving sober.

34 year old Aaron, 36 year old Allison Mickelson and  18 month old Brielle Deutscher, and the couple’s unborn child were traveling west on I-94 to Bismarck for a family reunion in July 2012, when their vehicle was hit head-on by a pick-up truck traveling the wrong direction on the Interstate. The driver of the pick-up truck was intoxicated, killing the Deutscher family and himself on impact.

In a joint statement, the Deutscher and Mickelson families said, “We continue to share the tragic crash that killed our children and grandchildren in the hopes of making a difference in the lives of others. These were real people whose lives were cut far too short by a terrible decision that was 100 percent preventable. The shock and pain that resulted from the crash were unimaginable, but we hope to turn that pain into change for the better.”

Alcohol is a factor in about 40-50 percent of motor vehicle fatalities in North Dakota annually. However, data from the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) shows that 2016 had the lowest number of alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities in ten years at 49, yet that was still 43 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities last year.

Stutsman County Sheriff’s Deputy, Damian Hoyt says, “By honoring the Deutscher family during our Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign, we hope to shed light on the consequences that come from impaired driving.  It doesn’t matter how long or short the trip, or how fast or slow someone drives – impaired driving is deadly. Always drive sober or designate a sober driver.”

The NDDOT administers federal grant funding as part of an overall effort to prevent deaths and injuries on North Dakota roads. Learn more about these and other traffic safety initiatives at dot.nd.gov,  ndcodefortheroad.org or join the conversation on the Code for the Road Facebook or Twitter page.

The Deutscher family has memorials on the North Dakota Crash Memorial Wall. To view their memorials, visit www.ndcodefortheroad.org/memorial.
