Jamestown (CSi) A band of light freezing rain moved across Stutsman and Barnes Counties Friday afternoon and into the late evening.
Seven crashes were investigated by deputies and troopers along the interstate. A SUV rolled into the south ditch of I-94 after it failed to maneuver a curve on a county road 12 miles west of Jamestown. A crash occurred when two SUV’s attempted to avoid another crash a couple of miles east of Jamestown. Two crashes involved pickups striking guardrails at Jamestown and Spiritwood. One involved a SUV crossing the median and striking a semi three miles east of Jamestown. Another crash on the east side of Valley City shut down part of the interstate for nearly an hour when a semi entered a curved area of the road and rolled onto its side before coming to rest across both westbound lanes. Many other vehicles slid into the ditch or median but were able to drive from the scene without any damage.
All occupants were using seat belts. No injuries occurred in any of the crashes.
Drivers were travelling too fast for road conditions at the time. All crashes remain under investigation.
Jamestown (CSi) A couple of changes this year when the Shrine Circus comes to Jamestown today.
El Zagel Mystics member Craig Mehlhaff says, in addition to the circus being on a Monday, there will be only ONE PERFORMANCE, that will be at 5:30p.m., today, at the Jamestown Civic Center.
The circus is performed for the Jamestown and Valley City communities.
With tigers, dogs and death-defying high-wire and acrobatic acts, the El Zagal Shrine Circus will have one performance at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Jamestown Civic Center.
Richard Klose, circus co-chairman, said the circus is coordinated by El Zagal Shrine units the Jamestown Clowns, the Flag Corp., Valley City and the Mystics, also based out of Jamestown. Klose said Brent Chris of Flag Corp is the other co-chair.
Klose said there will only be one performance of the circus this year in response to requests from parents.
Klose said parents found it hard to go to either the late afternoon performance, which started at 4 p.m., or the 7:45 p.m. performance in recent years.
The parents said they had to get out of work early to make the 4 p.m. show,” he said. “And the 7:45 (p.m.) show started too late for children who had to go to school the next day.”
He adds that having one show, more people will attend the circus.
The circus that will perform in Jamestown is Circus Spectacular, with Cindy Migley as the producer. Circus Spectacular is based out of Sarasota, Fla., and includes animal acts, acrobatic teams, a high-wire act and the Globe of death, a motorcycle stunt act.
Klose says at the show’s intermission, two boys’ bicycles and two girls’ bicycles will be given away. The show will run a little over two hours.
Gates open one hour before the show starts. Tickets are available at Hugo’s Family Marketplace, Cash Wise, M&H and the Jamestown Civic Center. Tickets are $5.50 for children 12 and younger, $9.50 for adults if purchased before the show, and tickets are 50 cents more if bought at the door. Klose said the circus is sponsored by the El Zagal Shrine of Fargo. Proceeds from the circus will benefit Shrine Temple operations.
Jamestown (CSi) A new scene called “The Tomb” has been added to the script for this year’s performance of Temple Baptist Church’s “Passion Play.”

The play,has four performances open to everyone in the community, and runs from April 2-5 at Temple Baptist Churc in Jamestown.
Peformances begin at 7 p.m.
The Tomb scene is where the stone is rolled away from Jesus’ tomb,and his spirit leaves the tomb.
Parents of young children should be aware that the play’s crucifixion scene is fairly realistic, and little children might have a hard time with it.
This year marks the eighth performance and includes 84 cast members, mostly from Temple Baptist Church, plus a support crew for makeup, costume and set.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring is reminding farmers about anhydrous ammonia rules as spring planting nears.
People who use the fertilizer must file proper documentation before transferring anhydrous from a tanker to a nurse tank in the field. Goehring says written notification needs to go the state Agriculture Department, the county commission and the county emergency manager.
The notification needs to include a legal description of where the planned transfer will take place and personal contact information. It should be done 30 days before a transfer. There’s no fee involved, and the form can be found on the Agriculture Department’s website.
Goehring says the rule is in place to ensure that people handling anhydrous have proper training, and to make information readily available to emergency responders in case of an accident.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – With low oil prices and unprecedented demands for statewide spending, the Senate last month decided it’s not the time to build a new home for the first family.
But the House Government and Veterans Affairs Committee has revived the measure that would tear down the 55-year-old governor’s residence and build a new one on the state Capitol grounds.
Members of the committee took a tour of the home on Friday.
The Senate’s version of the bill would appropriate $5 million to tear down the old governor’s residence and build a new one. The new House version would require that $1 million of the cost be raised from private sources.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The Williams County planning and zoning committee is recommending that the County Commission approve a proposed $500 million development on the outskirts of Williston.

The Williston Crossing project proposed by the international real estate company would include 1 million square feet of retail, entertainment, office and hotel space.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Researchers at North Dakota State University have received more than $400,000 in federal funds to study heart and vascular diseases.

Hoeven says the grant to NDSU “will help Americans live longer, better lives.”
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. More than 600,000 people died of heart disease in 2013.
