According to an emergency alert by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, 63 year old Sonia Heinle was last seen on Sunday night at 7p.m. driving a tan 2003 Buick Lesabre with a ND license plate of 183AVF in the Buchanan area.

Bismarck (NDHP)  Ninety-two people have lost their lives in traffic crashes on North Dakota’s roads this year. Right of way, excessive speed, and drug and alcohol impairment continue to be the primary contributing factors in these fatal crashes. Of these fatalities, 47.8 percent were not wearing a safety belt.

During the month of December, the North Dakota Highway Patrol is conducting a high visibility enforcement campaign that focuses on speed, right of way, impairment, distracted driving, and seat belt violations.
Overtime hours have been made available for troopers to work during this campaign.

The goal of the campaign is to have an increased patrol presence on roadways, encouraging drivers to voluntarily comply with traffic laws.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — New survey results about the health behavior of North Dakota’s high school students shows they’re drinking less and using less tobacco, but more young people are having extended periods of feeling sad or hopeless. State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said Monday fewer high school students reported being bullied at school, either electronically or personally. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey was developed in 1990 by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is given in the spring of odd-numbered years to students in grades 7-8 and 9-12.

(AP)  A vibration in an oil tank apparently caused a bolt to come off and spill more than 20,000 gallons of oil in western North Dakota. The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division says the spill happened Saturday at a well about 6 miles west of Watford City. Newfield Production Co. reported Sunday that the oil was released after an equipment failure at the location. All of the spilled oil has been recovered. The spill was contained by dikes. A state inspector has been to the site and will continue to monitor the cleanup and remediation.

(AP)  An updated environmental review for Enbridge Energy’s proposal to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota has found no serious impacts on Lake Superior from hypothetical spills. Regulators ordered the update after a Minnesota court declared an earlier review inadequate because it failed to specifically address the potential impacts of a spill into the Lake Superior watershed. A public comment period runs through Jan. 16. If the Public Utilities Commission deems the update adequate, Enbridge hopes to start construction of the Minnesota and North Dakota segments of the replacement pipeline in mid-2020.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Chris Wray says the problems found by the Justice Department watchdog examining the origins of the Russia probe are “unacceptable.” He told The Associated Press on Monday that they are “unrepresentative of who we are as an institution.” His comments came after the watchdog found that the FBI was justified in opening its investigation and did not act with political bias, but there were “serious performance failures” up the bureau’s chain of command. The findings undercut President Donald Trump’s claim that he was the target of a “witch hunt.”

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top House lawyers sparred heatedly with lawmakers and each other over the impeachment case against President Donald Trump on Monday in an acrimonious hearing as Democrats prepare formal charges. Democrats insisted that Trump’s push to have Ukraine investigate rival Joe Biden while at the same time withholding U.S. military aid ran counter to U.S. policy and benefited Russia as well as himself. But in one testy exchange, Republican attorney Stephen Castor dismissed the transcript of Trump’s crucial call with Ukraine as “eight ambiguous lines” that did not amount to the president seeking a personal political favor.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats have reached a tentative agreement with labor leaders and the White House over a rewrite of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal that has been a top priority for President Donald Trump. That’s according to a Democratic aide not authorized to discuss the talks and granted anonymity. Details still need to be finalized and the U.S. Trade Representative will need to submit the implementing legislation to Congress. No vote has been scheduled. The new, long-sought trade agreement with Mexico and Canada would give both Trump and his top adversary, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a major accomplishment despite the turmoil of Trump’s likely impeachment.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Federal authorities are investigating a cyberattack on the city of Pensacola, Florida, home to the naval air station where a Saudi flight student killed three sailors and wounded eight others on Friday. City officials became aware of the attack early Saturday morning, hours after the shooting, but expressed caution about linking the two incidents. However, they were not prepared to outright dismiss any links. Much of the city’s computer systems remained offline Monday morning. A spokeswoman for the city said federal authorities were alerted to the cyberattack as a precaution, in light of the deadly violence at the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

 

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — The FBI wants to know whether a Saudi flight student acted alone in his terror attack at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. Other Saudis at the Florida base were told to stay together and cooperate with investigators. A U.S. official told The Associated Press that shortly before the shooting, the gunman tweeted about U.S. support of Israel and accused America of being anti-Muslim. Another U.S. official told the AP that Royal Saudi Air Force Lieutenant Mohammed Alshamrani hosted a dinner party where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings, and that a party guest later recorded the shooting as two others watched from a car.
