Update…

Jamestown  (NDHP)  –   The North Dakota Highway Patrol has releeased the name of a man  killed in a rollover crash Wednesday evening about 7:20-p.m., on I-94 near mile marker 271,  11 miles east of Jamestown.

State Radio received a call of a reckless driver in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup traveling west on I-94.

The man has been identified as 66 year old Mike Caldwell of Portland, Oregon.

Several Law Enforcement units responded, the vehicle left the roadway and entered the median before veering back onto the westbound lanes of travel. The pickup spun out of control and rolled several times coming to rest on its wheels blocking the right lane of I-94. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.

The Highway Patrol report says alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. The right westbound lane of I-94 was closed for about 2 hours while the crash was under investigation.

Assisting at the scene were, Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, Barnes County Sheriff’s Office, Jamestown Area Ambulance Service, and the Jamestown Rural Fire Department.

The identity of the driver is being held until family notifications have been made

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 30-year-old Minot man was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Benson County.

The patrol says Stephan Zewick died at the scene early Saturday morning near Oberon.

Troopers say Zewick’s pickup ran through the intersection of state Highway 57 and U.S. Highway 281 and struck “a piece of parked construction equipment.”

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has directed all government agencies to fly the United States and state flags at half-staff until sunset Tuesday.

Burgum is encouraging North Dakotans to do the same at their homes and businesses to show respect for the victims of Friday’s shooting in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Twelve people were killed and several others wounded when a city employee opened fire in the municipal building. He was killed in a gunbattle with police.

The governor’s directive is in accordance with a proclamation issued by President Donald Trump.

 

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A new report says a May survey of business supply managers suggests economic growth will slow over the next three to six months in nine Midwest and Plains states.

The report issued Monday says the Mid-America Business Conditions Index dropped to 54.3 last month from 55.9 in April. The figure was 58.2 in March.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says tariffs and flooding have harmed several states.

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth. A score below that suggests decline.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A 24-year-old North Dakota man who grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm in an Amish community says he’s found the acceptance he’s been searching for after leaving his family.

KVRR-TV reports that John Shrock was 17 when he decided to flee the Amish community in Wisconsin after facing the pressure of “constantly trying to live up to perfection.” Shrock says he also felt emotionally traumatized by his father.

Shrock left on July 11, 2011, and he was eventually taken in by a man who had left his Amish community 15 years earlier. The man and his family adopted Shrock and taught him how to navigate the modern world.

Shrock says he’s able to be honest about who he is with his adoptive family and his friends.

 

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Leaders of a Native American tribe in North Dakota are asking state officials to work with them rather than against them in a dispute over oil royalties.

The federal government has repeatedly assured the Three Affiliated Tribes it has rights to a riverbed on the Fort Berthold Reservation that was once the Missouri River and is now Lake Sakakawea. But the U.S. Interior Department recently suspended a last-minute Obama-era memo favoring the tribes, after a request by North Dakota’s attorney general for a “re-set.”

An estimated $100 million in royalties is currently at stake. The state maintains it assumed ownership of the original riverbed when North Dakota became a state.

Tribal elder Austin Gillette says the matter is between the tribes and the feds and the state should “go away on this issue.”

LONDON (AP) — President Donald Trump is poised to have lunch with Queen Elizabeth II.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump will begin their two-day state visit with a reception and lunch at Buckingham Palace on Monday.

Trump is expected to be greeted with significant protests throughout his time in London.

The lunch with the monarch should largely be free of the thorny political issues that await Trump later in his visit to London, including meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May just days before she steps aside as the head of her political party.

 

 

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A senior North Korean official who had been reported as purged over the failed nuclear summit with Washington was shown in state media enjoying a concert alongside leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korean publications on Monday showed Kim Yong Chol sitting near a clapping Kim Jong Un and other top officials during a musical performance by the wives of Korean People’s Army officers.

Kim Yong Chol had been North Korea’s top nuclear negotiator and met with President Donald Trump at the White House while setting up Trump’s two summits with Kim Jong Un.

South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo last week cited an unnamed source to report that Kim Yong Chol was sentenced to hard labor following the collapse of the second summit in February.

 

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is facing his first major test of leadership since a blackface scandal almost forced him out of office four months ago.

The Democratic governor appears determined to project that he’s up to the task and has been active in helping respond to a mass shooting in Virginia Beach that left 12 people dead.

The governor worked to comfort victims and their families while helping to coordinate the massive government response. He’s also indicated he plans to pursue gun-control measures.

The gunman was identified as DeWayne Craddock. Eleven city employees and one contractor were killed in the Friday afternoon shooting at a municipal building. Craddock was killed in the ensuing gunbattle with police.

 

 

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Egypt is calling on both the Sudanese military and protesters to exercise restraint amid an attack by security forces on a protest camp in the capital. Protest leaders say security forces have killed at least 13 people.

Monday’s statement by the Foreign Ministry urged “both parties” to return to negotiations in order to “achieve the aspirations of the Sudanese people.”

In Sudan, protest leaders say they are suspending talks with the military regarding the creation of a transitional government.

The Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, which represents the protesters in transition negotiations, called for an open general strike and civil disobedience, as well as for the international community “not to recognize the coup.”

The Sudan Doctors’ Committee has said the security forces used live ammunition to clear the sit-in.

 

 

 

 

BEIJING (AP) — Thirty years since the Tiananmen Square protests, China’s economy has catapulted up the world rankings, yet political repression is harsher than ever.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims are held in re-education camps without charge, student activists face relentless harassment and leaders in the beleaguered dissident community have been locked up or simply vanished.

It’s a far cry from the hopes of the idealistic student demonstrators, and a level of control far beyond what many imagined possible, even after the army’s bloody crushing of the protests on the night of June 3-4, 1989.

Critics say the Tiananmen crackdown set the ruling Communist Party on its present course of ruthless suppression, summary incarceration and the frequent use of violence against opponents in the name of “stability maintenance.”
