Valley City (CSi) Valley City Police is asking for the public’s assistance, concerning any information about a driver who eluded an officer on Saturday morning (jun 1, 2014).
At about 2:42 a.m., police observed a vehicle turning onto 4th Street Southwest in Valley City in the wrong direction from a one-way street.
As the officer activated his lights, the vehicle, a 2004 Jeep Liberty, accelerated and starting making quick turns through a residential area.
The Jeep was found a short time later in the 500 block of 2nd Street Southwest against a tree, with damage to the left front end.
The driver apparently left the vehicle while it was still in motion, and ran off in an unknown direction.
There is currently no description of the driver, who faces possible criminal charges.
The VCPD urges anyone with information on the incident to contact them at (701) 845-3110.
Jamestown (CSi) Betty Jo Krenz of Woodworth is expected to testify Tuesday, June 24, 2014, at a congressional subcommittee oversight hearing, in Washington, D.C.
Republican U.S. Representative, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota announced that the U.S. House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs hearing, will concern child protection and the justice system on the North Dakota’s Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.
On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Ms. Krenz said she plans to tell the congressional subcommittee about her experiences of working with at-risk children on the Reservation.
She had worked as a case manager for Spirit Lake Tribal Social Services.
She said she was terminated in June 2011, after bringing problems of child abuse to light on the reservation.
Since that time, she has been an advocate for Native American children.
The Natural Resources Committee said the hearing will, “examine the current status of child welfare and protection services on the reservation that is publicly unknown because relevant federal and tribal agencies lack transparency.”
She said she will have five minutes to present her testimony, followed by questions from the panel.
She added that members of the Bureau of Indian Affairs will also be given the opportunity to present testimony at the hearing.
Cramer called the current situation unacceptable, and “failing our children.”
The goal of this hearing is to shine a light on the situation and promote a dialogue about solutions between local, state, tribal and federal government.
Ms Krenz added, her testimony will be “The first time kids will be heard.”
They will hear from judges and people working with the kids.”
There have been two child deaths in the past year at Spirit Lake.
Almost three years old, Laurynn Whiteshield, was killed on June 12, 2013, as her step-grandmother, Hope Whiteshield pleaded guilty of felony child abuse, along with witness tampering in the case. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The death of an infant on April 25 remains under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
A news release from the committee said, “The hearing could lead to congressional action concerning child welfare and justice system on the reservation.”
The hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT on June 24, 2014, at the 1334 Hearing Room of the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, D.C.
Ms Krenz pointed out that she is looking to bring to Washington, DC with her, an as yet to be determined number of “aged out” individuals, previously involved in cases with the social services.
She is looking to raise funds for them to go on the trip.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set at $250,000 for a Hazen man accused of robbing a Jamestown woman last month.
37-year-old Darrell Boggs faces 14 felonies, including robbery, and drug and weapons charges.
He is being held in the Stutsman County jail.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police in Fargo are looking for a 31-year-old man who they accuse of starting a deck fire at an apartment over the weekend.
Police say an arrest warrant has been issued for the man on charges of arson, terrorizing and criminal trespass.
Authorities say the Fargo man started the fire at his ex-wife’s apartment on Sunday. They say the blaze did not cause any interior damage, but affected the deck.
Police say the man had previously told his ex-wife that we would “napalm” her apartment. Police say officers responded to the same address hours after the fire for a report of a possible burglary. The woman told police she saw the man inside the apartment.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A group of Red River diversion opponents who have filed a federal lawsuit against the planned flood control project are pleading their case in Minnesota state court as well.
The Richland-Wilkin Joint Powers Authority is made up of representatives from about 20 cities and townships. The complaint that was lodged in federal court in September asks the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to come up with a cheaper project that doesn’t flood farmland.
The state lawsuit filed Friday says it doesn’t make sense for the Red River Diversion Authority to begin construction of a ring dike around communities south of Fargo until the state of Minnesota finishes its review on possible environmental impacts.
Congress has authorized the nearly $2 billion diversion, but must pass separate legislation to pay for it.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state of Missouri has denied a request to supervise the probation of a white supremacist who unsuccessfully tried to take control of a small North Dakota town.
Sixty-two-year-old Craig Cobb was sentenced to four years of probation in April for terrorizing residents of Leith (leeth), where he’d tried to establish an all-white enclave. The Missouri native said during his sentencing that he wanted to return to that state to care for his elderly mother.
North Dakota Corrections Department spokesman Tim Tausend says Missouri denied Cobb’s request because “he has had little or no contact with his mother for the past 40 years.”
Tausend says Cobb has been living in Bismarck since his release from jail, where he spent nearly half a year before reaching a probation deal with prosecutors.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – An exhausted University of North Dakota student says he danced, screamed and ate potato chips after finishing a 13-day run between Grand Forks and the state’s oil patch to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of oil.
Caleb Kobilansky arrived in Williston on Friday. The 22-year-old says he originally planned on running 360 miles but likely ran farther.
Kobilansky was joined by 21-year-old Tom Fisher who followed on bicycle carrying supplies.
The pair stayed on back roads for the journey. Kobilansky says dust created by oil field traffic made running difficult and dangerous during the last leg of the trip.
The pair say they hope to release a documentary on the internet about their journey across the back roads of the changing state.

Jamestown (CSi) On Tuesday, June 24 the Buffalo City Gun Club will present the 2nd Annual John Dardis Memorial Hospice Gift Fund “City Shoot”. This is a special three event trapshooting tournament that will begin at 6:30 p.m. The shoot is open to any and all shooters. The proceeds that are raised from the event will go to the John Dardis Memorial Hospice Gift Fund at Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation.
John Dardis was the first President of the Buffalo City Gun Club and was a lifetime supporter of shooting sports organizations in the area. He passed away on September 19, 2008 after a long battle with cancer. The JRMC Hospice Program was a great comfort to him and his family in those final days. The John Dardis Memorial Hospice Gift Fund provides for the giving of non-medical items that the families would not be able to procure under normal circumstances. The Gun Club is using this tournament to generate funds to keep the program helping other families in their difficult times.
The “City Shoot” will be composed of three separate events, each comprised of 50 targets. The first event will be 16 Yard Singles – two sub-events of 25 targets each. There will be three classes so all shooters are grouped according to their shooting ability. The next event will be a Troy System Handicap event also consisting of two 25 target sub-events. The Troy Handicap means that whatever you shoot in the Singles event will determine which yard line you will shoot from. There will be two Yard Group classes for event winners. The final event will be a one sub-event of 25 pair of Doubles Targets. There will be two classes based on each shooter’s ability.
Each event will cost $16.00 with all proceeds donated to the John Dardis Memorial Hospice Gift Fund at JRMC Foundation. We hope this will be well attended and continue to be an annual event to help continue the work the JRMC Hospice Program. Interested spectators are welcome and unknown shooters will be classified to the best ability of the shoot management.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The man who led North Dakota State through its successful transition to NCAA Division I athletics is leaving the school.
Bison athletic director Gene Taylor has been named deputy director for athletics at Iowa.
The 56-year-old Taylor was been with NDSU for 13 years. Under his tenure, the Bison won three Football Championship Subdivision titles and twice advanced to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
Taylor came to Fargo after serving as an administrative assistant for business at Navy.
Taylor is the third key member of the athletics department to depart this year. Football coach Craig Bohl got a job at Wyoming and men’s basketball coach Saul Phillips left for Ohio University.
The deputy director of athletics position is new to Iowa. Taylor will oversee the department’s day-to-day operations.
SAN DIEGO (AP) – Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn has died of cancer at 54.
Gwynn’s sweet left-handed swing made him one of San Diego’s best-loved athletes. He was nicknamed “Mr. Padre” during his 20-year major league career.
He had been on a medical leave from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater, since late March. Agent John Boggs said Gwynn died Monday in suburban Poway.
Gwynn had two operations for cancer in his right cheek between August 2010 and February 2012. The second surgery was complicated, with surgeons removing a facial nerve because it was intertwined with a tumor inside his right cheek. They grafted a nerve from Gwynn’s neck to help him eventually regain facial movement.

BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iranian military commander is visiting Iraq, consulting with officials on how to roll back the al-Qaida breakaway group that’s been capturing some key Iraqi cities. Iraqi officials say the United States was notified in advance of the visit. Secretary of State John Kerry said today that the Obama administration is willing to talk to Iran, as both nations look for ways to stop the Iraqi insurgents.
MOSCOW (AP) – Russia has stopped delivering natural gas to Ukraine. Moscow is rejecting Ukraine’s offer to pay some of the billions of dollars it owes for past deliveries. And the Russians are demanding upfront payments for future supplies. The move doesn’t immediately affect the flow of Russian gas to Europe. And Ukraine says it has enough reserves to last until December.
WASHINGTON (AP) – There’s a Supreme Court victory Monday for gun control groups and the Obama administration. The court ruled that the federal government can strictly enforce laws that ban a “straw” purchaser from buying a gun for someone else. The justices ruled that the law applied to a Virginia man who bought a gun with the intention of transferring it to his uncle in Pennsylvania — even though the uncle isn’t prohibited from owning firearms.
WASHINGTON (AP) – An anti-abortion group is being given the go-ahead by the Supreme Court to challenge an Ohio law against making false statements about political candidates during a campaign. Today’s unanimous ruling raises serious doubts about whether the Ohio law — and similar measures in more than a dozen other states — can survive amid complaints that they violate free speech rights.
DETROIT (AP) – More than four months after General Motors started recalling 2.6 million small cars to fix ignition switches, the company has repaired only 7 percent of the vehicles. GM says fixes have been delayed as switch maker Delphi starts making the part for cars that are no longer being produced.
