Gov. Doug Burgum is pleading for citizens to get vaccinated against the coronavirus as North Dakota’s hospitals struggle with an influx of patients infected with the highly contagious delta variant.

North Dakota ranks 45th in the country in the percentage of residents who are fully vaccinated and officials say the numbers are particularly worrisome in the western part of the state. There are 22 counties, all in the eastern third of the state, with vaccination rates of at least one dose between 50% and 60%. Of the remaining 31 counties, only two have rates more than 50%, with many numbers much lower than that. That is quickly translating into higher incidents of COVID-19. Republican Gov. Doug Burgum says politicization of the virus has led to the “death of the expert” and people don’t know who to trust about vaccines. He suggests people talk with their doctors.

Jamestown  (JPD)  On September 8, 2021, at 5:10-p.m. the Jamestown Police Department responded to a report of an injury accident, involving a motorcycle and a SUV, at the intersection of 10 St SE and 5 Ave SE. Jamestown Area Ambulance was also dispatched to the incident.

Officers arrived and investigated the accident. The investigation determined a 2014 Buick Enclave had been stopped at the stop sign on 5 Ave SE, facing north, at the 10 St SE intersection. A 2002 Kawasaki motorcycle was eastbound on 10 St SE, in the inside lane of travel, after having just left the 4 Ave SE intersection. There were other vehicles traveling eastbound in the outside lane of 10 St SE and the front vehicle in the outside lane indicated a turning movement onto 5 Ave SE. The Buick proceeded to pull into the intersection, as the driver did not see any other traffic which would have the right-of-way and her view was possibly obstructed by the other vehicles in the outside lane.
Both drivers attempted evasive action to avoid the accident once they saw one another. The motorcycle struck the Buick in the left-rear tire area, causing minor damage to both vehicles.

The Buick was being driven by 62-year-old Cynthia Schauer of Jamestown. The Kawasaki motorcycle was being driven by 44-year-old Cricket Bear of Jamestown. Bear did have a non-life-threatening injury, but refused medical treatment by Jamestown Area Ambulance, at the scene. Bear was later taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center by personal conveyance, for medical attention. Schauer did not sustain any injuries.
Bear

Bear was cited on suspicion of driving while operator’s license is suspended. The incident remains under investigation.

 

 

Jamestown  (CSi)  On September 8, 2021 at 12:52-p.m., the Jamestown Police Department responded to a report of an attempted assault in the 1600 block of Business Loop East in Jamestown. The complainant reported being involved in a domestic violence altercation with someone known to her. The altercation continued and the victim reported the suspect attempted to drive over her with a vehicle, before fleeing the area.

Assistant Police Chief, Major Justin Blinsky, reports that officers arrived and investigated the incident. During the investigation, it was reported the suspect became upset with the victim and she tried to run away from the suspect. The suspect allegedly proceeded to get in and use a vehicle to chase after the victim. It is alleged the suspect intentionally drove and made driving movements toward the victim, even after the victim ran onto the grass area of the boulevard, in an attempt to assault the victim and put her in fear for her safety. The actions of the suspect did place the victim in fear of her life and created a substantial risk of serious bodily injury or death, while attempting to cause substantial bodily injury to another with a dangerous weapon.

The Jamestown Police Department was able to determine a possible location for the suspect and coordinated with other law enforcement agencies to try to take the suspect into custody.

At approximately 4:52 -p.m., with the assistance of the North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect was located on Interstate 94, near Mapleton, ND.
The suspect was identified as 71-year-old Floyd Gilmore Toney of Jamestown, ND. Toney was arrested on suspicion of Terrorizing, Reckless Endangerment, and Attempted Aggravated Assault.

He was transported to the Stutsman County Correctional Center, where he awaits formal charges.

The Jamestown Police Department would like to thank the North Dakota Highway Patrol, the Valley City Police Department, the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office, and the Cass County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this matter.
Several witnesses to this incident have been identified and interviewed by the Jamestown Police Department. If anyone has any further information or witnessed this incident, we ask them to contact the Jamestown Police Department at 701-252-1000. The incident remains under investigation.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal and state lawyers will meet next week to negotiate a settlement for money that North Dakota claims it spent policing protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. North Dakota filed a lawsuit two years ago seeking to recover more than $38 million in damages from the monthslong pipeline protests almost five years ago. The state argues the Corps of Engineers allowed and sometimes encouraged protesters to illegally camp without a federal permit. The Corps has said protesters weren’t evicted due to free speech reasons. The Corps has argued it has “limited authority” to enforce rules on land it manages.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota transportation officials say a special law enforcement campaign aimed at seat belt use generated nearly 3,300 citations. The Department of Transportation says most of the citations, 1,325, were for speeding. More than 1,200 citations were for failure to wear a seat belt and 34 were child restraint citations. The “Click It or Ticket” campaign ran from July 1 to Aug. 19. Besides speeding and seat belt use, citations were issued for failing to have insurance, suspended or revoked licenses and distracted driving. Also, arrests were made for drugs, warrants and driving under the influence.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Republican-controlled legislative committee is discussing ideas for new legislative maps. The Legislature must draw new political boundaries based on the 2020 census to make sure every lawmaker is representing about the same number of people. The 16-member committee has little option than to shift the political balance of power to the state’s urban areas for the next decade. It held its second meeting Wednesday. North Dakota’s population is estimated at a record 779,000, up almost 16% during the last decade and mostly in urban areas. The panel has focused on keeping 47 districts, rather than changing the Legislature’s size.

 

NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says two people have died and a third has been injured in a highway crash in Mountrail County. The patrol says the driver of an SUV and a passenger were killed Tuesday when their vehicle left Highway 8 near New Town, entered a ditch and rolled over several times. All three people in the GMC Envoy were thrown from the vehicle. The driver, a 31-year-old Mandan woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 39-year-old male passenger from Minot was taken by air to Trinity Hospital where he died. A 23-year-old male passenger from New Town was taken to Trinity Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

 

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase Covid-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery. The government’s expansive new rules, being announced Thursday, mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. Biden is also signing an executive order requiring vaccination for all employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government. No testing opt-out is expected to be included for the executive branch requirement.

 

DALLAS (AP) — The leading U.S. airlines say that the rise in COVID-19 cases is hurting ticket sales and pushing back the recovery of the travel industry. American, United, Delta, Southwest and others reported setbacks in regulatory filings Thursday. American says a slowdown that started in August has continued into September, and it’s lowering its outlook for third-quarter revenue. United says it now expects a pretax loss in the third quarter that could extend into the fourth quarter if the virus outbreak continues. Delta still expects to post an adjusted pretax profit for the third quarter, but revenue will be toward the lower end of its previous forecast.

 

REDMOND, Washington (AP) — Microsoft is telling employees Thursday that their return to U.S. offices is delayed indefinitely until it’s safer to come back. Corporate Vice President Jared Spataro says the tech company has decided against attempting to forecast a new date for a full reopening given the uncertainty of the pandemic. Microsoft had already postponed its planned return to the workplace from September to October, but now says the re-opening won’t be next month. Microsoft employs about 103,000 U.S.-based workers. Microsoft says it will wait for public health guidance on when it is safe to return and give workers a 30-day transition period.

 

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has endorsed a Wyoming attorney in his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, one of his most vocal Republican critics. Trump on Thursday endorsed Harriet Hageman as she launched a primary campaign against Cheney, the most prominent member of Congress to vote for Trump’s second impeachment. Cheney responded to the endorsement with a simple tweet: ‘Bring it.’ The endorsement is one of Trump’s most significant to date as he works to maintain his status as GOP kingmaker and make good on his threat to exact revenge on his critics.

 

DETROIT (AP) — Attorneys for Detroit and the state of Michigan are seeking $204,000 in fees for successfully defending a post-election lawsuit filed by lawyers aligned with former President Donald Trump. The tally was filed two weeks after a judge said the lawyers would pay a penalty for pursuing the case. The final figure will be determined later. Trump voters filed a lawsuit in November after Michigan’s vote in favor of Joe Biden was certified. They claimed fraud and wanted voting machines impounded. Federal Judge Linda Parker says the lawsuit was a sham.
