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.

NEW SALEM, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a 59-year-old man is dead after a house fire in New Salem. The Morton County Sheriff’s Office was called about a house explosion shortly before noon last Thursday. Authorities found the body of Richard Doll and some parts of the house damaged by smoke and fire. The Fire Department inspected the home and determined there was no explosion but there had been a fire. The sheriff’s office is investigating along with the North Dakota fire marshal, but no foul play is suspected in the death.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota county on Monday voted to accept no more than 25 refugees next year, after initially signaling it would be the first to ban them since President Donald Trump ordered that states and counties should have the power to do so. The 3-2 vote by the Burleigh County Commission, which included a provision for further study of the issue, came a week after a vote was postponed when the audience overflowed the county’s usual meeting space. If commissioners had voted no, refugee resettlement groups say they believe Burleigh _ home to about 95,000 people and the capital city of Bismarck _ would have been be the first local government to do since Trump’s executive order in September.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for burning down a vacant church on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. Twenty-three-year-old Rode Wayne Vocu pleaded guilty to arson in the April fire that destroyed the Memorial Congregational Church near White Shield. The church was built in 1926 in Elbowoods and moved as floodwaters from construction of the Garrison Dam approached. His federal public defender says Vocu has accepted responsibility for the fire, but because of mental health and substance abuse issues he can’t recall what happened the day the church burned.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (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.

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.

Dobson’s 42-point night trails only Jon Purintun’s 45 against Valley City State (N.D.) last December 15 on the single-game scoring list. Brent Offerdahl (41, 1994-95) and Jake Holen (40, 1/18/08) are the other Jimmies to reach the 40-point plateau.

In addition, Dobson went 16-of-16 from the free throw line, tying Beau Hensel’s single-game record for most made free throws without a miss, set back in 2001-02.

Brock Schrom (JR/Grand Rapids, MN) finished with 24 points and nine rebounds, while Terrell Alfred (SR/Orlando, FL) added 19 points and three assists. Jack Talley (JR/Sioux Falls, SD) chipped in with seven points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Dobson (20), Alfred (17), and Schrom (12) were all in double figures in the first half, helping UJ to a 60-48 lead at the break. The 60-point half was the second for the Jimmies this season.

Dobson and Schrom combined for 34 of Jamestown’s 41 second-half points as UJ maintained a lead in the double digits for the majority of the half. The Jimmies’ largest lead of the night came after a Dobson three-pointer made it 80-62 with 11:14 left.

Jamestown (9-4) returns to Great Plains Athletic Conference play on Saturday when they host No. 2 Morningside (Iowa) at 4 p.m

NFL-MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL…

Eagles knock off Giants in OT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles own a share of first-place in the NFC East after erasing a 17-3 halftime deficit against the lowly New York Giants.

Carson Wentz tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz in overtime to lead the Eagles to a 23-17 win over the Giants. Wentz threw for 325 yards and a pair of TDs, including a 5-yard toss to Ertz to tie it at 17-17 with 1:53 left in the fourth quarter.

Ertz racked up 91 yards on nine receptions for the Eagles, who played the second half without receiver Alshon Jeffery because of a foot injury.

Eli Manning looked good in the second quarter of his first start since Week 2, leading three scoring drives that put New York ahead by two touchdowns. Manning finished 15 of 30 for 203 yards, but he couldn’t prevent the 2-11 Giants from suffering their team record-tying ninth straight loss.

The 6-7 Eagles snapped a three-game losing streak and moved into a first-place tie with Dallas. Philadelphia captures the division if it wins its final three games, including a matchup with Dallas in Week 16.

NFL-NEWS

(AP) — Bears linebacker Roquan Smith is out for the season, according to coach Matt Nagy. Smith suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys.

Pats say videotaping of Bengals wasn’t intentional

UNDATED (AP) — The New England Patriots have acknowledged that a video crew working for the team shot the Cincinnati Bengals sideline during Sunday’s game at Cleveland. Any videotaping of a sideline by another team is a violation of league rules that echoed the team’s 2007 Spygate scandal.

The Patriots said on their website that a three-person crew for a web series titled “Do Your Job” “inappropriately filmed the field from the press box” as part of a feature on the scouting department. The filming took place “without specific knowledge of league rules,” according to the team statement.

The Pats also said that while it was granted credentials for the crew from the Browns, their failure to inform the Bengals and the NFL was an unintended oversight. When confronted, the team said the crew “immediately turned over all footage to the league and cooperated fully.”

In other NFL news:

— The Dallas Cowboys have waived struggling kicker Brett Maher and replaced him with eight-year veteran Kai Forbath. Maher is the only kicker in NFL history with three field goals of at least 60 yards. But the Cowboys couldn’t count on him for the shorter ones that are often more critical.

— Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri will finish this season on injured reserve with an injured left knee. The Colts say Vinatieri will have surgery for an injury he attempted to play through all season. He missed a league-high 14 kicks this year, including six extra points.

— Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley and cornerback Desmond Trufant will miss the rest of the season after getting hurt in a win over Carolina. Coach Dan Quinn confirms that both players are done for the year and are expected to make full recoveries.

NBA..

— The Boston Celtics’ starting front court is back to full health with the return of Gordon Hayward for Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Hayward also had five rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes.

Kemba Walker led Boston’s balanced scoring with 22 points, while Jaylen Brown furnished 20 points and seven rebounds. Jayson Tatum added 19 points with 11 boards for the Celtics, who have won four in a row overall and are 10-0 at TD Bank Garden.

The Cavaliers have lost seven straight games and 13 of 14.

Checking out Monday’s other NBA action:

Khris Middleton scored 20 points and Dante DiVincenzo added 12 points off the bench as Milwaukee ended Orlando’s four-game win streak.

— Pascal Siakam (see-A’-kim) finished with 22 points and Norman Powell furnished six of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors hung on to end a three-game skid, 93-92 at Chicago.

— Paul George scored 36 points in his first trip to Indianapolis with the Clippers and Montrezl (MAHN’-trehz) Harrell added 26 to power Los Angeles past the Pacers, 110-99.

— Nemanja Bjelica (neh-MAHN’-yah bee-ah-LEETS’-ah) drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift Sacramento past the Rockets, 119-118. Buddy Hield (heeld) had 26 points to lead the Kings, who had six players score in double figures as they won their second straight since a three-game skid.

— The Thunder earned a 104-90 win over the Jazz as Dennis Schroder (SHROO’-dur) scored 27 points off the bench. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 20 points and Chris Paul added 16 with seven assists to help Oklahoma City deal Utah its sixth loss in eight games.

— Derrick Rose provided 17 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, including a 14-foot jumper in the lane with 0.3 seconds left to send the Pistons to a 105-103 win over the Pelicans. Rose scored 11 of Detroit’s first 13 points in the final period for a 92-84 lead before New Orleans rallied to tie it.

— Ja Morant returned to Grizzlies’ lineup and scored 26 points to lead a 110-102 victory over the Warriors. Dillon Brooks added 17 points and Jaren Jackson Jr. had 16 as Memphis won for just the second time in 11 games.

NBA-ROCKETS-PROTEST

Rockets lose protest

NEW YORK (AP) — The Houston Rockets won’t get a do-over after officials wrongly disallowed a slam dunk by James Harden in a double-overtime loss to the Spurs.

The NBA has denied the Rockets’ protest of last Tuesday’s game, which the Spurs won 135-133. A successful protest would result in part of the game being replayed. The league said it has disciplined the officials who got the call wrong and botched the aftermath by not allowing Houston to challenge the ruling.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-HEISMAN FINALISTS

Burrow, leads Heisman finalists

NEW YORK (AP) — Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts and Ohio State teammates quarterback Justin Fields and defensive end Chase Young join LSU quarterback Joe Burrow as Heisman Trophy finalists.

Burrow is the clear front-runner to win the Heisman on Saturday night in New York after a record-breaking season, leading the 13-0 Tigers to the top seed in the College Football Playoff. LSU hasn’t produced a Heisman winner since Billy Cannon in 1959.

Fields and Young are the first teammates to be finalists since Oklahoma had quarterback Baker Mayfield and receiver Dede Westbrook at the Heisman ceremony in 2016.

Hurts is the third Oklahoma quarterback in the last four seasons to be a Heisman finalist, including the last two winners in Kyler Murray and Mayfield.

Also in college football:

— Ohio State defensive end Chase Young won the Bronko Nagurski Award given to the nation’s top college defensive player. Young recorded 16 1/2 sacks and forcing six fumbles in 10 games for the Buckeyes.

— Ex-South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley says he’s headed to Utah for his final college season. He will graduate from South Carolina this week, meaning he will be immediately eligible to play. Bentley started 33 games for the Gamecocks, throwing for 7,527 yards, 55 touchdowns and 32 interceptions.

— South Florida has hired Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott to become the Bulls’ next head coach. Scott was hired as wide receivers coach by Clemson in 2008 and quickly became recruiting coordinator, too. He was elevated to co-offensive coordinator in 2015, though quarterbacks coach Tony Elliott has handled play-calling.

The draft will be held from June 10-12, and the College World Series is slated to start June 13. Baseball’s draft was long held by conference call at the commissioner’s office in New York. It was moved to Lake Buena Vista, Florida, for 2007 and 2008. Since 2009 the first round has been held at MLB Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.

World Anti-Doping Agency imposes 4-year ban on Russia

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Russia has been slapped with a four-year ban from international sports events over a longstanding doping scandal, but its athletes will still be able to compete if they can show they are clean competitors.

The ruling by the World Anti-Doping Agency’s executive committee means that Russia’s flag, name and anthem will not appear at the Tokyo Games.

The country also could be stripped of hosting world championships in Olympic sports, although Russia can appeal the decision within 21 days.

PARIS (AP) — French airport employees, teachers and other workers have joined nationwide strikes over the government’s retirement reform plans. Only about a fifth of trains are functioning and most Paris subways are at a halt. Commuters and tourists are using apps and creativity to find ways to get to work, school and museums. But for some, patience is running thin. New protests are planned in several cities Tuesday. Unions are cranking up pressure on the French government because they fear workers will have to work longer for smaller pensions. President Emmanuel Macron says he wants to make the system more fair and financially sustainable.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s air force has lost radio contact with a transport plane carrying 38 people on a flight to the country’s base in Antarctica, and authorities are indicating they are not optimistic about the aircraft’s fate. The C-130 Hercules took off Monday afternoon carrying 17 crew members and 21 passengers, including three civilians. The personnel were to check on a floating fuel supply line and other equipment at the Chilean base. In a statement early Tuesday, the air force said the plane had not been heard from in more than seven hours and likely would have run out of fuel around 12:40 a.m.
