The patrol says 42-year-old Jammie Petras of Sidney was killed Friday afternoon about a mile south of Alexander, in McKenzie County.

Since the player purchased the Power Play option for $1 extra per play, the prize was multiplied by 2, making the ticket worth $100,000. This is the largest Powerball prize won in North Dakota since the new Powerball game launched Oct. 4.
“We encourage players to promptly check their numbers and sign the back of their tickets,” said Randy Miller, director of the North Dakota Lottery. Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
The Powerball jackpot for the Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2015 draw is estimated at $227 million.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Revenue is coming in at only half of the projected rate for a program aimed at helping communities deal with the effects of energy development.
The Oil and Gas Impact Grant Fund was projected to collect $6 million monthly from oil taxes over the next two-year budget cycle.
Land Commissioner Lance Gaebe says the fund is collecting only about half of that now, due to a drop in oil activity.
Gaebe says a plan needs to be developed “to moderate the pace of grant awards.”
The plan is expected to be presented next month.
STANTON, N.D. (AP) – A company has received preliminary approval for a man camp between Hazen and Beulah to house workers building a $500 million urea fertilizer plant in the area.
The Mercer County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended a plan by Civeo Corp. to move unused oil patch units from Dickinson into Coal Country on Thursday night.
Planning official Wes Klein tells the Bismarck Tribune that zoning experts are concerned about Highway 200 traffic safety and the possibility of dangerous caverns from old underground coal mines underneath the proposed site.
Civeo wants the man camp to start with 100 beds in 50 units and expand to 200 beds if need grows for the Basin Electric Power Cooperative plant.
The county commission must give final approval. It’s expected to discuss the issue Jan. 6.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Wildlife advocates have reached a tentative agreement with the U.S. government in a dispute over an endangered fish in the Yellowstone River along the Montana-North Dakota border.
The case centers on a proposed irrigation dam and fish bypass northeast of Glendive, Montana. Federal officials say it would allow pallid sturgeon to reach upstream spawning grounds that they’ve been unable to access for decades.
A federal judge blocked construction of the $59 million project in September. That came after Defenders of Wildlife and the Natural Resources Defense Council said there was no proof the fish bypass would work.
Attorneys for the two sides said in a court filing that they plan to finalize by Dec. 30 an agreement that would allow the case to move forward.
Terms were not disclosed.
In world and national news…
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) – The man authorities say bought the assault rifles two other people used in the San Bernardino, California, massacre has been ordered held in custody while he faces terrorism-related charges. A magistrate judge ruled Monday that Enrique Marquez poses a continuing danger to the community. Marquez is charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists for abandoned plots in 2011 and 2012. He’s also charged with illegally buying the rifles the shooters used in the attack. And he’s charged with visa fraud stemming from his marriage to a Russian woman that prosecutors say was a sham.
BALTIMORE (AP) – He was the first Baltimore police officer to be tried in connection with the death of Freddie Gray — and now, it appears that William Porter will also be the last to be tried. Prosecutors plan to try him for a second time, but not until the other five officers go to trial. Porter’s first trial ended with a deadlocked jury after 16 hours of deliberations, and the judge declared a mistrial. The new schedule indicates that prosecutors may no longer be planning to use Porter as a witness in any of the other trials.
HONOLULU (AP) – In a new broadside against the leading Republican presidential candidate, President Barack Obama accuses Donald Trump of “exploiting” fears held by working-class men in particular about the economy and about stagnant wages. Speaking to NPR News, Obama said the financial crisis, technology and globalization mean that “blue-collar men” are “no longer getting the same bargain” they used to get, when they could “support their families on a single paycheck.” He says Trump is “taking advantage” of what Obama calls “misdirected” fear and anger. Trump has made inflammatory comments about Hispanics and others, and wants to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country.
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Authorities say the woman suspected of plowing a car into pedestrians along the Las Vegas Strip was living in the vehicle with her 3-year-old daughter. They say the woman reported staying in the car while it was parked in different structures across Las Vegas before Sunday’s crash, which killed an Arizona woman. They say they don’t know what might have caused the woman to drive onto a sidewalk several times, striking dozens of people.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Bill Cosby is suing model Beverly Johnson over her allegations that he drugged and attempted to sexually assault her in the 1980s. Cosby’s defamation lawsuit filed in Los Angeles calls Johnson’s story a lie and accuses her of using it to try to rekindle her career. Cosby’s lawsuit contends a dinner described by Johnson was attended by his wife and he never dined alone with the supermodel. Last week, Cosby countersued seven other women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.
