Kathryn (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports a man was killed following a head-on collision near Kathryn Wednesday night about 11-O’Clock on Highway One, north of Kathryn.
The report says a 2007 Toyota Corolla was southbound, and a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville was northbound.
The Pontiac crossed the center line and struck the Toyota, head on.
The Toyota driver died in the crash.
More information when the report is completed.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health and Agriculture Departments are cautioning people to avoid contact with Lake Ashtabula north of Valley City as tests revealed the presence of high levels of a toxin caused by blue-green algae.
Authorities on Wednesday said signs are being posted around the lake to advise people to avoid contact with areas affected by blue-green algae.
Barnes County Emergency Manager Sue Lloyd says one dog has died and another one remains ill after they drank lake water.
Hot summer weather can contribute to the production of the algae. People and animals that ingest affected water can get sick and even die. There’s no known antidote for the toxins.
Health officials say blue-green algae often bloom in bodies of water that are used by people, pets and livestock.

Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County United Way campaign will kickoff on September 10, 2016 at Ave Maria Village with a 5K run/walk.
Registration is at 9:30 a.m. with the run at 10 a.m., with inflatables and food after the event.
United Way agencies will be present with activities for the kids and to tell the community more about what they do for Stutsman County. A freewill donation to United Way is suggested for all activities.
United Way of Stutsman County helps 19 local agencies, and 99 percent of the money donated stays in Stutsman County. In order to best serve the community, the United Way of Stutsman County has transitioned to a community-impact model, which means that the United Way of Stutsman County invests primarily in programs that promote education by helping children and youth achieve their potential, promote financial stability and independence and promote improved health in Stutsman County. These three areas are the building blocks to a good life and a thriving community, United Way says.
To do this, the United Way of Stutsman County asks questions of each of the agencies. Each local United Way agency must provide detailed financial information so the United Way of Stutsman County board can see how awarded funds will stay local. Additionally, each local United Way agency specifically addresses how the agency works to increase education, provide income stability and improve health. If an agency changes focus, that may impact its eligibility for United Way of Stutsman County dollars. If an agency cannot show how dollars given stay local, that will impact its eligibility for United Way of Stutsman County dollars.
In the 2015-2016 campaign, the United Way of Stutsman raised more than $192,000. The United Way campaign theme is “United Way Saves the Day,” and the board has a goal of $200,000 for this year.
United Way of Stutsman County, President, Erin Paulson says, “We are very excited to get the new campaign rolling. The support from the community has been amazing! The board has done some great events in the past few years, from a masquerade ball, outdoor movies, a golf tournament and the upcoming run/walk. We have been working hard to raise awareness of the agencies’ needs. We hope the community will continue to stand behind United Way of Stutsman County.”
The campaign for the United Way runs until February 2017, and the board will host several events throughout the campaign.

Update…
COOPERSTOWN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified a Finley man who died in a one-vehicle crash in Griggs County.
The Highway Patrol says 37-year-old Alan Goyne lost control of his Corvette on a curve on state Highway 200, and the car went in the ditch and rolled.
He died at the scene east of Cooperstown about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
A 28-year-old Cooperstown woman identified as Tenisha Dean of Cooperstown, who was riding in the car was flown to a Fargo hospital with undisclosed injuries.
Her condition wasn’t known.
WASHBURN, N.D. (AP) — A man who led police on a chase in a stolen car and then fled on foot was apprehended after spending about eight hours in a central North Dakota cornfield.
The McLean County Sheriff’s Office says the man fled from a Highway Patrol trooper trying to make a traffic stop for reckless driving on U.S. Highway 83 shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday. The suspect eventually stopped and ran into a cornfield northwest of Wilton.
Rural residents were advised to lock their homes, vehicles and outdoor buildings.
Authorities apprehended the suspect about 10 p.m. without incident. Authorities identified him as a 35-year-old homeless man from Fargo who had two arrest warrants out of Cass County. Formal charges were pending in the McLean County incident.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man accused of robbing five businesses in the region at knifepoint and later trying to escape from jail has been sentenced to serve eight years in prison.
Authorities say 25-year-old Vincent Musi III robbed four Minot businesses and a store in nearby Surrey in May, then used a stool to try to smash through windows of his cell on the Fourth of July.
Late last month he pleaded guilty to three of the robbery counts and entered an Alford plea to the escape charge, acknowledging there was enough evidence to convict him. Prosecutors dropped the other two robbery charges.
Judge Douglas Mattson sentenced Musi on Wednesday to a total of 10 years in prison, with two suspended. Musi said drugs were there reason for his crimes.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal appeals court says a judge did not make a mistake when he allowed a North Dakota man to represent himself in a drug distribution case.
A jury in January 2015 convicted Sean Conklin, of Rugby, on one count of distribution of methamphetamine and one count of distribution of heroin. Conklin was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison.
Conklin argued in his appeal that U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland violated his right to have an attorney represent him because Conklin did not “unequivocally state” his intent to represent himself. Conklin said the conviction should be overturned.
In affirming the verdict, the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals says that although Conklin never “expressly asked” to represent himself, he refused appointed counsel and ignored Hovland’s pretrial deadline for resolving issue.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Figures from a survey of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states have risen slightly but still suggest slow or no economic growth ahead.
A report issued Thursday says the Mid-American Business Conditions index inched up to 47.8 in August from 47.6 in July.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says he expects the regional economy to underperform the national economy because of the region’s heavy dependence on manufacturers linked to the weak sectors of agriculture and energy.
The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth. A score below that suggests decline. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s oil-rich Three Affiliated Tribes say a Texas company didn’t get tribal permission to put an oil pipeline and a natural gas pipeline beneath Lake Sakakawea.
The tribes ordered the project halted last month, saying they had no assurances from the company that water supplies would not be harmed.
Sacagawea Pipeline developer Paradigm Energy Partners says it has federal permission to run the pipelines beneath the lake that’s the largest of the six reservoirs on the Missouri River.
A hearing on the issue is slated Thursday in federal court in Bismarck. Paradigm wants Judge Daniel Hovland to continue an injunction against the tribe so construction can proceed.
North Dakota’s Public Service Commission approved construction of the $125 million, 70-mile-long oil pipeline project in January and it’s nearly complete.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An oil field waste landfill that withdrew its application to handle radioactive waste was found earlier this year to have tons of illegal radioactive material at its site near Alexander.
The state Health Department ordered IHD Solids Management to remove nearly 950 tons of radioactive waste after inspections in May and June.
Waste Management Division Assistant Director Steve Tillotson says he doesn’t think IHD knowingly accepted the illegal material. The company won’t be fined.
Two other oil field waste companies also were found to have illegal materials on site, though in much smaller quantities.
All three operators have changed practices to prevent similar occurrences.
The situation came to light when the Health Department tested all 12 oil field waste landfills.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota teacher has claimed a $100,000 Powerball prize.
North Dakota lottery officials say Grand Forks resident Ruth Pederson claimed her prize Tuesday. Pederson matched four white balls and the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing to win the game’s $50,000 prize. An option she purchased doubled the amount.
Pederson says she realized she had won the $100,000 Monday, the same day classes began at her school. She says “it was the perfect start to the school year.”
Powerball is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s dove hunting season opens statewide on Thursday.
The daily limit is 15 and the possession limit is 45. Shooting hours are a half hour before sunrise to sunset.
The state Game and Fish Department is reminding hunters to register with the Harvest Information Program prior to heading out to the field. The program collects hunting activity data to improve game bird management.
Those who registered to hunt the spring light goose or early Canada goose seasons in North Dakota do not have to register with HIP again, since it’s required only once per year.
The dove season runs through Nov. 29.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —Carson Wentz isn’t ready to return from cracked ribs, so the 2nd overall pick from North Dakota State will miss his third straight preseason game Thursday night.
Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks is the only starter expected to see action — he hasn’t played much this preseason — and veteran linebacker Stephen Tulloch, signed last week, also is supposed to play.
Both second-year QB Bryce Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg will play for the Jets. New York has not yet determined if both Petty, a fourth-rounder last year, and Hackenberg, a second-rounder this year, will each play a half.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber struck out a season-high 11 and notched his seventh straight win, leading the Cleveland Indians to an 8-4 victory Wednesday night over the Minnesota Twins, whose losing streak has reached 13 games — one shy of tying the club record.
Unbeaten since July 3rd, Kluber (15-8) allowed three runs and six hits in eight solid innings. The right-hander is 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA in his last 10 starts.
Carlos Santana and Roberto Perez homered off Pat Dean (1-5), and Jose Ramirez hit a two-run double during a five-run fifth as the AL Central-leading Indians swept the three-game series and extended the Twins’ sorry slide.
Brian Dozier hit his 32nd homer and Max Kepler connected for his 16th for the Twins, who loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth off rookie Perci Garner, making his major league debut. Bryan Shaw came on and threw a wild pitch before striking out Dozier for his first save.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Vikings have placed Teddy Bridgewater on injured reserve a day after their starting quarterback suffered a dislocated left knee, torn anterior cruciate ligament and other significant damage during a non-contact drill during practice.
The Vikings re-signed quarterback Brad Sorensen for depth, the day after he was waived. Shaun Hill will be the starter for now.
The Vikings wrap up the preseason on Thursday against Los Angeles.
TWINS…
CLEVELAND (AP) — Minnesota Twins center fielder Danny Santana will likely miss the remainder of the season with an injured left shoulder.
Santana got hurt on Sunday in Toronto when he collided with teammate Robbie Grossman while trying to make a catch. The team placed him on the disabled list Monday. He was sent back to Minneapolis for tests, which revealed a Grade 2 sprain.
Manager Paul Molitor said before Wednesday’s game that Santana will need more than a month to recover, so the team is leaning toward shutting him down for the final month.
A switch-hitter, Santana batting .240 with two homers, 14 RBIs and 12 steals this season.

UNDATED (AP) — A section of the U.S. East Coast is under a tropical storm warning today as Tropical Storm Hermine approaches Florida from the Gulf of Mexico. The warning extends from Marineland, Florida, northward to the South Santee River in South Carolina. A hurricane warning was already in effect for a section of Florida’s Gulf coast from the Suwanne River to Mexico Beach. The storm is expected to hit tonight.
MIAMI (AP) — Recent word of mosquito-borne Zika infections in Florida has Americans increasingly concerned about travel to such areas. A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll on Americans’ health care attitudes finds 48 percent would be uncomfortable traveling to U.S. Zika infection areas. Up to 61 percent felt that way about traveling to Puerto Rico or Zika zones outside the U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A leading and respected organization that evaluates charities so donors can make informed decisions says the Clinton foundation gets four out of four stars after an evaluation prompted by the heightened interest in the organization. The rating is based on annual federal tax documents and is not intended to reflect whether Hillary Clinton kept donors at appropriate arm’s length as secretary of state.
LONDON (AP) — Air travel is about to benefit from the lifting of sanctions on Iran as part of the nuclear deal. British Airways is set to resume direct flights to Iran today. Service had been suspended in October 2012 as relations deteriorated. British Airways plans six roundtrip flights per week with more flights scheduled to be added later this year.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The defense plans to ask today that some evidence kept out of the trail of the suspect in the Charleston, South Carolina, church shootings that killed nine people last year. A federal judge has closed the hearing involving Dylann Roof, saying it’s one of the rare cases where a defendant’s right to a fair trial outweighs the right of the press and public to court access.
