Near Gackle) The Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office reports, a 70 year old man died in a grain bin accident, Thursday afternoon north of Gackle.
A commercial crew was loading grain from bins onto trucks on a farmstead, when they lost sight of him, then, finding tools in one of the bins.
The body was recovered about an hour later.
The man’s identity was not immediately released.
On scene were first responders from fire and rescue squads and ambulance personnel from Gackle and Medina, the North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Logan County Sheriff’s Office.
Jamestown (CVHD) Central Valley Health District has issued an update on vaccinations in Stutsman County. The news release states that the county continues to increase vaccination rates with 14,066 COVID- 19 vaccinations given as of April 20, 2021. Central Valley Health District (CVHD) has administered 6,155 Moderna vaccinations, 2,667 Pfizer vaccinations, and 165 Johnson and Johnson vaccinations in the community; totally 8,987 vaccinations given as of this week. To date, 47.1% of Stutsman County residents have been vaccinated with at least once dose of the COVID vaccine, according to the ND Department of Health’s (NDDOH) dashboard.
Administrator, Robin Iszler says, CVHD has currently paused the use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccination based on CDC and FDA recommendations. “While Janssen use is paused, individuals seeking COVID-19 vaccination should receive Pfizer or Moderna,” states Robin Iszler, CVHD Unit Administrator.
The news release points out information in detail Robin spoke about on The Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, earlier this week.
She said CVHD is aware that some people might have hesitancy in receiving the COVID vaccination. A concern regarding the vaccine that CVHD hears from the community often is “should I be vaccinated if I already had COVID?” The answer is YES. COVID vaccination can offer protection from re-infection. Vaccination can prevent you from transmitting the disease to others.
Previously infected residents can wait for 90 days following a positive COVID test if you would like.
CVHD will now be offering worksite COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Stutsman and Logan Counties. Any local businesses interested in hosting an onsite vaccination clinic for employees should contact CVHD to schedule their vaccination clinic.
CVHD encourages anyone wishing to receive a vaccination to sign up for the first available appointment offered to them. CVHD currently has open vaccination appointments available and they are posted on their website at www.centralvalleyhealth.org. Participants who cannot register themselves are encouraged to call CVHD at 252-8130 for assistance.

Jamestown (CVHD) Central Valley Health District this week will have COVID-19 Testing at the Jamestown Civic Center in April from 11-a.m. to 12 noon, at the Jamestown Civic Center, April 23, 26,28, 30, using the Rapid Testing, BinaxNow.
By screening with rapid antigen tests, event attendees will be able to receive their test results within 15 minutes via text notification. The test also is less invasive than a PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test in that it uses a nasal swab to collect a sample from the lower part of the nostril.
If a person tests positive, they should isolate at home immediately and a case investigator will be in touch with them within 24 hours. If the screening yields a negative result, individuals should continue to monitor for symptoms.
Interested individuals should fill out an online survey at testreg.nd.gov for faster registration.

He added that Temple Baptist is asking those attending to wear face masks, and the sanctuary is large enough to accommodate social distancing protocols.
He also pointed out that last year’s and this year’s regional Big Sing have been cancelled, due to pandemic related safety precautions.
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Council’s Police & Fire, and Public Works Committees met Thursday evening at City Hall. All members were present.

City Attorney Abby Geroux commented regarding an Opinion of the North Dakota Supreme Court, 2021regarding City of Jamestown v. Casarez
Santos Casarez, III appealed when his motion to suppress evidence was denied, and his conditional guilty plea to refusing to take a chemical breath test was accepted.
Jamestown Police Officer Renfro requested Casarez submit to a preliminary breath test and placed Casarez under arrest; leading to the charges under appeal. Casarez argued Jamestown Municipal Code section 21-04-06 was in direct conflict with N.D.C.C. section 39-08-01 after the Legislature’s 2019 amendment to the statute, and the Ordinance was void because it conflicted with a state statute. The North Dakota Supreme Court found no reversible error and affirmed the district court’s judgment.
Ms Geroux on Thursday said, she handled the case in Muncipal Court. She said handling appeals is time consuming in the office. She explained the basics of the case, saying the ND Supreme Court Ruled in favor of the City of Jamestown, in the appeal by Casarez on the DUI incident.
She said the case was successful on behalf of the city, because officers continue to be up to date on ND DUI laws and changes.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A group that wants to change the state constitution to require voter approval of constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60% and limit a measure to a single subject is a step closer to bringing the matter to a public vote. Secretary of State Al Jaeger on Thursday announced he approved for circulation a petition for the proposed measure. The citizen-led Protect North Dakota’s Constitution believes the voter threshold for amending the state constitution isn’t high enough. Backers say the measures also often contained multiple issues.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Legislature has overridden Gov. Doug Burgum’s veto of a bill that would prohibit state officials from mandating face coverings. Representatives voted 66-27 Thursday to override the second-term Republican governor. The Senate voted 32-15 later in the day. The bill received broad support in both chambers in the Republican-led Legislature, In his veto message, Burgum said North Dakota law assigns the governor the responsibility to “minimize or avert the adverse effects of a disaster or emergency.” Bill sponsors have argued there was no proof that masks work to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Police reform and racial equity are on the minds of many following the murder conviction of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd. Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski met with local leaders of Black Lives Matter and another activist organization, OneFargo, on Wednesday to address that reform, which he says is simply part of the progression of law enforcement. Zibolski says in order for police to be successful and work in partnership with the community, they have to have adaptability, flexibility to progress, be forward-thinkers in terms of what may be a better way to do something than past practices.
MANDAREE, N.D. (AP) — A 61-year-old truck driver has died in a crash near Mandaree in McKenzie County of western North Dakota. The North Dakota Highway Patrol says it happened just after 3 p.m. Thursday when a 2019 Kenworth that was hauling water failed to negotiate a curve on Bear Den Road and overturned in the ditch, coming to rest on the passenger side. The highway patrol said the driver was not wearing a seat belt. He died at the scene. His name was not immediately released.
In Sports…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Republican-led Senate has sustained Gov. Doug Burgum’s veto of a bill restricting transgender girls from participating in public elementary and secondary school sports. Senators voted 28-19 Thursday to override the first-term Republican governor, but fell short of the 32 necessary for a two-thirds majority. The vote came after the GOP-led House voted 68-25 to override Burgum earlier Thursday. The bill last week got a strong 69-25 vote in the House but a narrower 27-20 vote in the Senate. Burgum argued that the legislation endorsed by the GOP-led Legislature attempts to address a problem that does not exist.

NCAA tweaks college football OT format to shorten games
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — College football teams will have to go for 2 after touchdowns starting with the second overtime possession, and beginning in the third round each team will get one play to score from the 3-yard line.

The new rule will have teams run alternating 2-point plays in the third overtime instead of starting another drive at the opponent’s 25-yard line. The 2-point shootout currently starts in the fifth overtime.
