\"\"Valley City\u00a0 (From Casey Stoudt Jr., Valley City)\u2013\u00a0 Since 1898 when the automotive industry began it has thrived by embracing innovation, evolution and the excitement of the vehicle. This combined with the local auto dealers dedication and firm commitment to customer service has built the foundation of these two great companies.<\/p>\n

Miller Motors and Stoudt-Ross Ford are excited to announce the next evolution of the auto industry in combining forces and continuing to build and grow as Stoudt-Miller, Inc.<\/p>\n

Jim Nelson and Casey Stoudt Jr. are pleased to announce that over 500 years of combined award winning experience in sales, parts and service will be offered in one beautiful location with a new state of the art showroom for Miller Motors. The merger will offer Valley City, and the surrounding area, the biggest shop with 5 quick lane service stalls and up to 20 repair stalls within one facility.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Miller Motors will be moving into Stoudt-Ross Ford on Winter Show Road in Valley City on January 3rd. Jim Nelson will be the dealer principal on the Chrysler side.\u00a0 Casey Stoudt will be the dealer principal on the Ford side.<\/p>\n

The combined dealership will bring their existing staff at both locations to one. Nelson said there will be no job cuts and additional hires are planned. Construction of the new addition is tentatively set for the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n

When Jim and Casey were asked, why now, the answer came quite easily. With all of the new product coming from both Ford and Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM they decided they owed it to Valley City and Barnes County. Both Jim and Casey agreed their customers, all over the region, were the most important piece of the puzzle and continuing to provide them with the best and most comfortable experience they deserve was top on the list. They want their customers, new and returning, to know that the same faces they\u2019ve grown to know and trust have merged together to offer more products, faster efficiency and even better service.<\/p>\n

Nelson and Stoudt thank everyone for their support and patronage over the years and look forward to continuing that relationship in 2022. They also invite the public to stop in and see them in the new location and check out the new and used inventory that is arriving daily.<\/p>\n

This is just the beginning for Stoudt-Miller, Inc. with January 3rd set as the official first day of business at 325 Winter Show Road SW in Valley City. Watch for updates and the ground breaking of the new building set in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

He stated, \u201cWe did make the request from them through the SRO (school resource officer) to have additional support and presence on our school campuses.\u201d.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal report shows that untapped recoverable oil in western North Dakota has dropped significantly in the last eight years due to the number of new wells. The U.S Geological Survey estimates that the Bakken and Three Forks rock formations contain another 4.3 billion barrels of crude, a 40% drop from the agency\u2019s last estimate in 2013. About 11,000 wells have been drilled into the formations in the last eight years, collectively producing billions of barrels of oil predicted in the earlier estimate. The USGS also revised down its expectations for natural gas production in the region, from 6.7 trillion cubic feet per day of additional recoverable gas to 4.9 trillion cubic feet per day.<\/p>\n

NFL<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Packers became the first team this season to clinch a division title, wrapping up the NFC North with a 31-30 win over Baltimore after the Ravens missed another big 2-point conversion in the final minute.<\/p>\n

With Lamar Jackson out with a sprained ankle, Tyler Huntley nearly led Baltimore all the way back from a 31-17 deficit. His 8-yard touchdown run with 42 seconds left pulled the Ravens within one, but Huntley\u2019s 2-point conversion pass was incomplete.<\/p>\n

It was the third consecutive loss for Baltimore, which also lost to Pittsburgh two weekends ago on a missed 2-point conversion in the final seconds.<\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes \u2014 tying Brett Favre on Green Bay\u2019s career list with 442.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Denver Broncos 15-10 Sunday in a showdown of teams fighting to stay in the logjammed AFC playoff chase. The Bengals didn\u2019t get their usual offensive production, but the defense stepped up big and thwarted Denver\u2019s great ground game. The Broncos lost starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to a head injury and he was carted off the field and hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\u2014 New Orleans\u2019 defense gave Tom Brady fits again, shutting down Tampa Bay\u2019s high-powered offense as the Saints put the Buccaneers\u2019 division title celebration plans on hold with a 9-0 victory. Despite playing without coach Sean Payton on the sideline, the Saints beat the Bucs for the seventh straight time during the regular season \u2014 fourth since Brady left New England for Tampa Bay in 2020. The victory gave New Orleans a sweep of the season series between the NFC South rivals and boosted the Saints into playoff position with three games remaining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2014 The 49ers maintained their wild-card postion, winning for the fifth time in six games, 31-13 over the Atlanta Falcons. The Niners scored touchdowns on four straight drives to make easy work of the Falcons. Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 235 yards and a TD, while San Francisco ran for three more scores<\/p>\n

\n

\u2014 Kyler Murray had a shaky performance and that helped the Detroit Lions stun the Arizona Cardinals 30-12. The Cardinals started the day tied for the NFL\u2019s best record, but blew its chance to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2015. The Lions were mired at the bottom of the league standings before the first snap but improve to 2-11-1.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Ben Roethlisberger ran for his first touchdown in three years and Chris Boswell kicked four field goals as the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive with a 19-13 win over Tennessee. The Steelers forced the Titans into four turnovers and needed every single one of them. Tennessee drove deep into Pittsburgh territory in the final moments but cornerback Joe Haden stuffed Titans receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine short of a first down at the Pittsburgh 10 in the final seconds.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The NFL-East leading Dallas Cowboys inched closer to their first playoff berth since 2018, riding their defense to a 21-6 win over the error-plagued New York Giants. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence forced a fumble and made two other big plays that led to touchdowns. The defense forced four turnovers in all, including Trevon Diggs\u2019 NFL-leading 10th interception.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Buffalo Bills beat the offensively challenged Carolina Panthers 31-14. Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes, but mostly stayed in the pocket because of a sprained left foot. Running back Devin Singletary kept Buffalo moving on the ground, running for a season-high 86 yards and a 16-yard TD run to open the scoring.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Miami Dolphins have pushed their winning streak to six games and the Jets are finishing last in the AFC East again. DeVante Parker caught an 11-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa (tag-oh-vay-LOH\u2019-ah) for the go-ahead score with 3:37 left as the Dolphins rallied to beat the Jets 31-24.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tremon Smith returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, and the Houston Texans beat woeful Jacksonville 30-16. Smith somehow escaped five defenders near the 30-yard line before coasting the rest of the way. It was Houston\u2019s first kickoff return for a score since Oct. 4, 2009.<\/p>\n

NFL-INJURIES<\/p>\n

Broncos QB Bridgewater in hospital with head injury<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was taken to a hospital for a head injury after he was carted off the field in the third quarter of Denver\u2019s 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n

Bridgewater was hurt in a scary collision that also sent Bengals linebacker Joe Bachie from the game with a leg injury. Bridgewater had movement in his extremities, and coach Vic Fangio said he\u2019d be held overnight for observation but was expected to be OK.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere:<\/p>\n

New York Jets safety Elijah Riley was taken off the field on a backboard after being injured during the third quarter of a 31-24 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Riley injured his neck in a collision with teammate Kyle Phillips. He appeared to raise his right arm skyward as players from both the Jets and Dolphins went to his side to offer a kind word.<\/p>\n

Defending champion Tampa Bay lost several key players to injuries in a 9-0 loss to New Orleans. The list included wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, running back Leonard Fournette and linebacker Lavonte David.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Jaguars safety Rayshawn Jenkins broke his right ankle trying to make a tackle on Tremon Smith\u2019s 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in a 30-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Jenkins was placed in an air cast and carted off the field in the first quarter. His season is likely done.<\/p>\n

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is done for the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon late in a 21-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Dallas Mavericks 111-105 in another matchup between short-handed teams dealing with recent COVID-19 issues. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 24 points, D\u2019Angelo Russell added 22 for Minnesota, who now have three players in the NBA health and safety protocols. Dallas, already without star guard Luka Doncic, placed two players in the protocols the past two days.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The NBA-leading Suns set a season-scoring high in a 137-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.<\/p>\n

The Suns improved to 24-5 and had nine players score in double figures. Javale McGee had 19 points in 16 minutes off the bench.<\/p>\n

After missing seven games because of a hamstring injury, Devin Booker returned to Phoenix\u2019s lineup, scoring 16 points in 26 minutes of playing time.<\/p>\n

Phoenix was 20 of 41 on 3-pointers and shot 56.8% overall.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the NBA:<\/p>\n

\u2014 DeMar DeRozan scored 38 points after missing two weeks in the NBA\u2019s health and safety protocols to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 115-110 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. It was Chicago\u2019s first game since Dec. 11 after having two postponed last week because of a COVID-19 outbreak that put 10 players in the health and safety protocols.<\/p>\n

Updates on last week tornado recovery<\/p>\n

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Eight people are confirmed dead at a Kentucky candle factory that was hit by a tornado and another eight remain missing, but dozens more have been accounted for, a company spokesman said Sunday, raising hope that the toll from a Midwest twister outbreak won\u2019t be as high as first feared. While officials initially said 40 of 110 workers at Mayfield Consumer Products had been rescued, spokesman Bob Ferguson said more than 90 people had now been located. While eight remained missing, there was hope they might be OK. He said many of the employees were gathered in the tornado shelter and after the storm was over they left the plant and went home.<\/p>\n

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) \u2014 The Mayfield Consumer Products factory was the third-biggest employer in this corner of western Kentucky, an important economic engine that churned out candles that lined the shelves of malls around the U.S. But why its Friday night-shift workers kept making candles as a ferocious tornado bore down on the region remains unknown as rescuers continue scouring the wreckage of the plant for signs of life. Kentucky\u2019s governor said Sunday the ferocity of the storm was so great that there was nowhere safe to hide inside the plant.<\/p>\n

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Autumn Kirks and her boyfriend, Lannis Ward, were both working the night shift at a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, when a massive tornado struck. Now her boyfriend is missing \u2014 and all she can do is wait. On Sunday, Kirks stood outside His House Ministries in Mayfield, where people have been told to go to wait for word about the missing. In the aftermath of the tornado that roared through the western Kentucky darkness early Saturday morning, the chances for good news seem to diminish by the hour. Dozens of people across five states were killed, and the death toll is expected to go higher.<\/p>\n

Swatzell 1942.\u201d Posten posted an image of the photo on social media and eventually was contacted by a man who says the photo belongs to his relatives in Dawson Springs, Kentucky. That area was hit hard Friday night by tornadoes that roared through the middle of the U.S.<\/p>\n

But authorities don\u2019t expect to find more survivors and the local coroner says there are no pending reports of missing people related to the building collapse. The company has not said how many people were in the building not far from St. Louis when the tornado hit at 8:35 p.m. Friday. Both sides of the warehouse used to prepare orders for delivery collapsed inward and the roof caved. Edwardsville Fire Chief James Whiteford says police helped pull people from the rubble.<\/p>\n
