Toxic vapors and sewer gas can be a serious hazard when sewer vents become plugged with ice.<\/p>\n<p>Jamestown Fire Chief Jim Reuther said the smell of sewer gas in a residence is often the first indication of a problem, but homeowners should also make a visible check of their roof vents to make sure ice has not accumulated. Another indication of ice build-up on a sewer vent may be that sinks and bathtubs do not drain properly.<\/p>\n<p>He said use care when checking or clearing a frozen sewer vent on the roof as the job may involve a ladder and icy roof.

(AP) \u2014 A man convicted of killing four people in what authorities say was one of the most gruesome crimes in North Dakota history has been sentenced to multiple life prison terms without the possibility of parole. Judge David Reich sentenced 47-year-old Chad Isaak on Tuesday to four consecutive life terms. He was convicted of fatally shooting and stabbing RJR Maintenance &amp; Management co-owner Robert Fakler, and employees Adam Fuehrer, William Cobb and Lois Cobb, at the company\u2019s building in Mandan on April 1, 2019. Investigators say the victims were stabbed more than 100 times, total. Defense attorneys say police overlooked or ignored other possible suspects. Prosecutors say the evidence pointed to Isaak, though they didn\u2019t establish a motive.<\/p>\n<p>GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Authorities say a man suffered serious injuries Tuesday when the delivery van he was driving was struck by a freight train near Grand Forks, in northeastern North Dakota. The state Highway Patrol says the van drove through a grade crossing about 11:30 a.m. and was pushed on the tracks by a northbound BNSF train. The patrol says the crossing is marked with rail crossing signs and a yield sign. The 42-year-old driver of the van was not wearing a seat belt and the vehicle did not have air bags. The patrol says it was snowing at the time and the road was covered with snow. The crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Prosecutors have decided not to file charges against a driver who struck and killed a Bismarck pedestrian earlier this year. Sixty-four-year-old Leora Herrmann was crossing a Bismarck road in September when a pickup hit her. Behind the wheel was 79-year-old William Dethloff. Records show he has a history of driving-related offenses, including operating an unsafe vehicle, speeding and failing to wear a seat belt. Burleigh County State&#8217;s Attorney Julie Lawyer told the Bismarck Tribune that the attorney assigned to the case decided last month not file charges against Dethloff. She said her office can&#8217;t prove he was negligent or reckless and he had the right of way at the time of crash.<\/p>\n<p>In sports<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-242042\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup-311x175.jpg 311w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Learfield-Cup.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimmiepride.com\/article\/6378\">UJ<\/a>)\u00a0 As the fall season draws to a close, UJ is ranked #38 in the first NAIA Learfield IMG College Directors\u2019 Cup\u00a0standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Learfield IMG College Directors\u2019 Cup is the all-sport rankings based on finishes at NAIA national tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>The Jimmies are in 38<sup>th<\/sup> place thanks to strong performances from the Jimmie women\u2019s volleyball and women\u2019s soccer teams.\u00a0 The Jimmies are the third highest ranked team in the GPAC trailing only Dordt (11) and Northwestern (13).<\/p>\n<p>Last year the Jimmies finished 71<sup>st<\/sup> out of 250 NAIA institutions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-242045\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Madden-John2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"119\" \/>(AP) The NFL says Hall of Fame coach turned broadcaster John Madden has died at age 85.
