26 year old, Cheyenne Doble, of Little Falls, Minnesota, was traveling eastbound on U.S. Interstate 94 near exit 258 in an SUV.

Another vehicle entered the highway from the onramp.

As Doble moved toward the median to make room for the merging vehicle, the left wheel on her trailer dropped off the roadway into the median.

state Highway 40 near Tioga, and the other late Sunday on U.S.
Highway 85 near Alexander. Both crashes involved pickup trucks
colliding.
     Thirty-three-year-old Brent Gardner of Grantsville, Utah, died
in the first crash. Forty-three-year-old Jason Smith of Murrieta,
Calif., died in the other.
     A man from Colorado was injured in the Saturday crash. Two Texas

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fort Totten man accused of beating two
young boys and setting fire to the bedroom where they slept has
pleaded guilty to three lesser charges.
30-year-old Lyndon Greybear pleaded guilty to two counts of
aggravated assault and one count of endangering by fire or
explosion.
     Assistant Cass County State’s Attorney Leah Viste says
prosecutors agreed to drop two counts of attempted murder as part
of the plea agreement.

     The attorneys say that psychologists found that Greybear was
experiencing an “intoxication-related psychosis” during the Nov.
13 incident involving his cousin’s two children.
     Both boys were seriously injured and hospitalized. They’ve since
been released.
     Authorities say after the incident, Greybear started a second
fire on a door at an apartment building a block away.

  BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck has
joined a network of hospitals connected with the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minn.
     Officials say the move will enable St. Alexius doctors to
connect electronically with Mayo specialists, allowing more
patients to stay closer to home. It is not an acquisition or a
merger, but a collaboration.
     Altru Health System in Grand Forks also is a member of the
network that now includes 10 hospitals around the country.
     Bismarck’s other hospital, formerly known as Medcenter One,
merged with Dakotas-based Sanford Health this summer.

State College will include a water park and an Olympic-size
swimming pool, four basketball courts and four tennis courts, a
200-meter running track, a golf simulator and other features.
Officials say it will be the largest rec center in the state and
one of the bigger ones in the country.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A recent study of the cost of maintaining
North Dakota’s county and township roads is being expanded to
include bridges.
     The Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute at North Dakota
State University did the study at the Legislature’s request.
     It estimated it will cost about $7 billion over 20 years to
maintain county and township roads statewide. The estimate has been
increased because of the heavy oil truck traffic on western North
Dakota’s roads.
     Lawmakers have asked for similar estimates on what it will cost
to maintain local bridges. The institute is compiling that
information.
     Institute director Denver Tolliver says the updated study will
be ready before the Legislature meets in January.

never made a tackle. I happened to witness a lot of them.”

CLEVELAND (AP) – Terry Francona has been introduced as manager of the Cleveland Indians, who crashed from contention this season with the worst month in franchise history.
Francona was hired over the weekend by the Indians, signing a
four-year contract.

The 53-year-old was chosen over Sandy Alomar Jr., who served as the club’s final six games after Manny Acta was fired.

Francona takes overs an Indians team that went 68-94, the
third time in the past four seasons they have lost at least 90
games.
Francona led Boston to two World Series titles and five straight
playoff appearances.

He was not brought back by the Red Sox following the team’s historic September collapse in 2011.
He previously worked in Cleveland’s front office, and Francona said the chance to work again with close friends was the most intriguing aspect of managing the Indians.

 

 LITTLE FALLS, N.J. (AP) – Don Larsen has two grandchildren, one
in college and the other a freshman in high school. He wants to
make sure they’re taken care of. He wants to make sure they
complete their educations.
     So, to help that cause, the former Yankee has decided to auction
off the uniform he wore 56 years ago Monday, when he authored a
perfect game in the World Series.
     On the anniversary of Larsen’s greatest day as a pitcher,
Steiner Sports Memorabilia announced it will auction off the
uniform that the 82-year old Larsen wore.
     A Babe Ruth jersey went for $4.4 million last year, so Steiner
anticipates such a historic relic to draw at least seven figures.
