Jamestown (CSi) Authoriities are advising motorist of very slippery driving conditions Friday morning with a few accidents reported.
Slow down, and allow extra time to travel, in town, rural areas, and on highways.
And, DO NOT use cruise control.
Jamestown (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports a semi accident about 10:40-a.m., Thursday led to a traffic snarl on I-94 eastbound near Jamestown.
The report says a 2007 International truck with an empty enclosed trailer was operated by 36 year old Bare Rukow of Columbus, Ohio.
The temperature was near freezing. Light snowfall melted on the roadway and ice developed on an overpass.
While crossing the overpass, Rukow failed to maintain control of the truck and the vehicle slid into the median where it was stopped by a cable guardrail. The truck jackknifed and came to rest across both eastbound lanes. Both eastbound lanes and one westbound lane were closed for nearly an hour.
He was not injured, and was wearing a seatbelt
The truck, trailer and guardrail sustained approximately $70,000 in damage.
This crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol.
Assisting at the scene were the Jamestown Police Department, and Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office.

The plan calls for burying a pipe along three quarters of a mile with a half-a-mile of channel improvements to drain Hobart Lake water into the Sheyenne River. The Barnes County Commission approved a letter of support for the $800,000 project that will use federal dollars through FEMA to drain Hobart Lake water into the river. Commissioner John Froehlich says the estimated cost of the proposed Hobart Lake outlet to Barnes County is $130,000 to $150,000. Paul Stenshoel believes a study should be done before the moving forward to drain Hobart Lake. He told the Barnes County Commission there are landowners prepared to file legal action if the Barnes County Water Resource District moves forward to build this outlet. Some landowners are expressing concerns that they have to pay taxes on farmland under water. Retired Wildlife Research Biologist Gary Krapu believes western grebe nesting sites would be negatively affected for every foot of water removed from the Lake, saying bird watchers from other states help the local economy, a claim questioned by others.

In sports… Jamestown (CSi) Jessica Buck and Brequan Tucker from the University of Jamestown basketball teams have earned All-American honors for the second straight year. Buck was named to the first team for the second consecutive season, while Tucker earned his second straight third-team designation. Buck was one of 10 first-team selections. Tucker became the career scoring leader in just three seasons for the Jimmies. The senior from Joliet, Ill., amassed 1,776 points and also holds the career scoring average record at 20.4 points per game. The 6-foot guard led the Jimmies in scoring (21.9), rebounding (6.5) and assists (3.5) this season. For his career he had 444 rebounds, 265 assists and 122 steals. The Jimmies finished the season with a record of 17-12. Other NSAA players chosen were junior Megan Klein (honorable mention) of Dickinson State, junior Kyle Kilgore (second team) of Dakota State and Valley City State sophomore Jayden Ferguson (honorable mention).
Jamestown (CSi) University of Jamestown head golf coach Dean Kraft announces the signing of Michael and Allan Pruss of Red Deer, Alberta, who will join the Jimmies in the 2016-17 season. Michael and Allan, who will graduate from Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School this spring, will also compete for the Jimmie hockey team, which begins play in the fall. Kraft says, “I can¹t take a whole lot of credit for the signings. They were both coming for hockey and called me with a strong interest in playing college golf. It didn¹t take me long to recognize their ability (in both sports), their academic strengths, and their maturity to realize they are a perfect fit for the Jimmie golf program. The boys have the ability to go low, something that has become a recruiting priority now that we are part of such a competitive conference. The boys bring that potential with them and we feel very fortunate that they decided to become Jimmies.” Allan was a member of the third-place team at the Alberta High School Provinicials tournament. He won twice on the McLennan Ross/Sun Junior Golf Tour and took third at the Riverbend Mens Club Championship. Michael was awarded Team Provincial Bronze for golf and Team Gold Medal for the Zone Championship. On the ice, he was twice named Most Dedicated Hockey Player for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and was a two-time All-Star in the SCAHL Hockey League.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is still beatable for the Democratic presidential nomination. He’s predicting the upcoming calendar of races in several Western states, including Arizona and Washington, and April contests in Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania offer him the chance to catch up. Clinton holds a lead of more than 300 committed delegates but Sanders rejects the notion she’s got it all but sewn up.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A longtime effort to improve cybersecurity is coming to fruition.

About six organizations had signed up and others have expressed interest.
HOUSTON (AP) – Houston police had been tracking five robbery suspects for some time before gunfire erupted, leaving two alleged robbers dead and two wounded.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea has launched a missile into the sea as it continues to condemn an ongoing annual military exercise conducted by South Korea and the U.S. A South Korean military expert says Pyongyang may have been testing a re-entry vehicle that could house a nuclear payload.

STOCKHOLM (AP) – Sweden is asking the European Union to help it repel invaders for America.
