Update…
Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Dive Team was called to an area of Spiritwood Lake Monday (May 19, 2014).
Reports indicate that three men were canoeing on the lake late Sunday or early Monday when the craft capsized tossing them into the water.
One of the three men tried to save one of the other men, and was unsuccessful in an attempt to pull him ashore, as that individual sank in the water, and presumably drowned.
The third man is the subject of the search, and is presumed drowned as well.
The surviving man was helping searchers to find the area where the other two men went into the water.
None of those involved are from Jamestown.
Assisting at the scene are the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, Jamestown Fire Department, Jamestown Police Department and North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking boaters to stay off Spiritwood Lake to allow dive crews better access to the lake.
Alcohol may have been involved, as the incident continues under investigation.
Valley City (CSi) Valley City Police are investigating a burglary at the AmericInn, on Winter Show Road in Valley City, early Monday morning.
Police say the burglary occurred before 4:00 a.m.
The male suspect entered the office and left with the business safe and an undetermined amount of money from the front desk till.
The suspect ran out a back door and was last seen in the area of the Bridges Bar and Grill at 264 Wintershow Road, and dropped the safe, which was recovered by Valley City Police.
The suspect is described as approximately 6’0,” wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and dark blue colored pants. His face was covered by the hooded sweatshirt and a dark cloth.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Valley City Police Department at 701-845-3110.

TIOGA, N.D. (AP) – State officials have joined leaders of the oil conglomerate Hess Corp. in celebrating the upgrade of the company’s gas plant in Tioga.
COO Greg Hill says the facility’s upgrade has reduced flaring from between 25 and 30 percent to between 15 and 20 percent. The company expects to reduce flaring to below 10 percent in the coming years.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple and other state officials toured the facility Monday.
The company says the plant in Tioga will handle gas from other producers in addition to gas from Hess sites.
Hess is one of the top oil producers in the Bakken, producing between 80,000 and 90,000 barrels of oil per day. Hess anticipates it will be producing 150,000 barrels per day in North Dakota by 2018.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Tribal leaders want sanctions for any students who wore T-shirts with a caricature of the University of North Dakota’s former Indian head logo drinking out of a beer bong.
The North Dakota University System hosted a meeting Monday at the state Capitol in Bismarck to address the issue.
UND President Robert Kelley told tribal leaders that federal privacy laws prohibit the school from identifying students or any sanctions against them. But he says “that does not mean nothing is being done.”
The T-shirts that were stamped with the words “Siouxper Drunk” apparently were worn for an annual spring party that attracts students and others and is not associated with the university.
Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen called the T-shirts appalling and says they reflected poorly on the entire university system.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Officials are trying to boost the number of dairy farms in North Dakota.
Members of the North Dakota Dairy Coalition recently met with representatives of crop commodity groups. State Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says rebuilding the state’s dairy industry will give crop and forage producers more local markets. He says it also will ensure that North Dakota is not dependent on outside sources for its milk supply.
The number of dairy farms in North Dakota has fallen below 100.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The Williams County Commission has implemented a three-month moratorium on new signs in and around Williston.
County Planning Director Ray Pacheco says sign permit requests are piling up, and officials don’t want county roads filling up with signs and creating what he calls “the Las Vegas effect.”
Current regulations also are unclear about the sizes, shapes, quantities, heights and lighting considerations to which sign builders must adhere.
Pacheco expects the planning commission to review sign regulations by mid-June, and to have a plan before the County Commission by July.
In sports…
Jamestown (CSi) Adam Gebhardt has aced the 12th hole at Jamestown Country Club.
The first hole-in-one this season occurred on May 16, 2014, as Gebhardt hit the hole-in-one using his nine iron from the white tees.
That’s about 146 feet, to the par three hole.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State University softball team was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament over the weekend.
The Bison were knocked out by Auburn 1-0 on Saturday in the double-elimination Minneapolis Regional. NDSU had beaten Auburn 5-2 on Friday but lost to Minnesota 4-1 in 10 innings on Saturday before playing Auburn a second time.
Minnesota went on to win the regional.
It was NDSU’s fifth appearance in the national tournament in six years.
In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) – An Egyptian Islamic preacher who was brought to the United States on charges that he supported terrorism around the world from his perch at a London mosque has been found guilty. Jurors in federal court in New York City returned their verdict Monday in the case against Mustafa Kamel Mustafa (muh-STAH’-fuh kah-MEHL’ muh-STAH’-fuh). The verdict came only weeks after another preacher who served as al-Qaida’s spokesman immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks was convicted.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. officials say it’s a problem they’ve faced for years — state-sponsored cyber-threats. And now there are criminal charges being filed in Washington against five Chinese military officials, who are accused of economic espionage and theft of trade secrets. They allegedly hacked into U.S. companies, including U.S. Steel and Westinghouse, to get trade secrets. China says the charges are “ungrounded and absurd.” A statement released in Beijing says China has “never engaged or participated in cybertheft of trade secrets.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says the United States has seen no indication that Russian troops are pulling back from the Ukrainian border despite an order from Russian President Vladimir Putin. A White House spokesman says if Russia had pulled its troops back, the U.S. would know and would be able to confirm it publicly. The Kremlin said Monday that Putin was ordering the troops to return to their home bases in an apparent attempt to de-escalate the crisis over Ukraine. He’s made a similar announcement before.
WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) – A New Hampshire town police commissioner has resigned after he admitted using a racial slur to describe President Barack Obama. The chairwoman of the Wolfeboro board of selectmen says Robert Copeland resigned last night from the post to which he was re-elected in March. At a meeting last week, Copeland had defiantly refused calls to resign. His comment drew strong condemnation, including from 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has a home in Wolfeboro.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – A man from Saudi Arabia who is one of three patients diagnosed with an infection from a Middle East respiratory virus in the United States has been released from an Orlando, Florida, hospital. Officials from the hospital and the state health department say the man has recovered from the virus and is now testing negative for Middle East respiratory syndrome. A man in Indiana was the first U.S. case of the virus, and an Illinois man picked up a related infection from that man.
