JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP-CSi) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a Minnesota man was killed at Jamestown when his pickup was hit by an oncoming vehicle whose driver had fallen asleep.
\nThe patrol says it happened Monday morning on Interstate 94 when 18-year-old Ashley Birkle, of Killdeer, was going east in a Chevy Tahoe, fell asleep, lost control, crossed the median and struck a westbound Ford pickup.<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old Garfield, Minnesota, man driving the pickup, David Herold, died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Birkle and 35-year-old Matthew Schroeder of Dalton, Minnesota, who was a passenger in the pickup were taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center, by Jamestown Area Ambulance Service, with injuries that weren’t life threatening.
\nThe interstate was partially blocked for several hours after the crash, which is still under investigation.<\/p>\n

Spiritwood (CSi) A fund has been set up to help a family of four displaced by the Saturday house fire in Spiritwood.<\/p>\n

The owner of the home, Rosemarie Jasmann, was not home when the fire broke out.<\/p>\n

Her daughter-in-law Dawn Jasmann, says the community support that she has received has been fantastic.<\/p>\n

Charlie Johnson, who came across the fire when it broke out, suffered burn injuries to his head and neck from the blaze.<\/p>\n

The American Red Cross provided assistance to more than 20 firefighters throughout the night.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire was a partially collapsed chimney attached to a wood stove, that was lit just before the fire broke out, destroying the house..<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) On a 4-1 vote,the Stutsman County Commission has approved loaning up to $400,000 to the Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation, allowing the $10 million Spiritwood Energy Park Association rail loop can connect to the BNSF mainline.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Craig Neys voted in oppostion.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

In other business, the county commission denied approval of a quit claim deed requested by the JSDC for the remaining seven lots in the I-94 Business Park to the city of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Commissioner David Schwartz said he didn’t see the benefit for JSDC to quit claiming the remaining lots to the city and having the city sell those lots.<\/p>\n

The gate on the back of the trailer broke and the animals got loose.<\/p>\n

Officers were able to round up 20 of the cattle and one was still be sought last evening.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House has approved legislation that would allow concealed-carry permit holders to pack guns at schools, if officials allow it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House endorsed the measure 52-38 on Tuesday. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Education officials have opposed the measure. They say teachers should not take on the role of law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The proposal would require someone who wants to carry a gun in school to undergo training with local law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A similar measure that would allow teachers and other school officials to carry guns at school failed two years ago in the Legislature.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Rep. Dwight Kiefert, of Valley City, says the bill is especially aimed at rural schools where it may take law enforcement a long time to respond.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A freshman lawmaker from Fargo is pushing for the legalization of medicinal marijuana in North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Democratic Rep. Pam Anderson’s bill has bipartisan support. The House Human Services Committee is slated to take testimony on the bill Wednesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anderson says she introduced the legislation at the request of one of her constituents who suffers from chronic pain.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bill says patients suffering from certain diseases can possess up to 2 1\/2 ounces of pot or cannabis-related products for medical use.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The measure also would allow North Dakotans with a prescription for medical marijuana to grow up to six pot plants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Tobacco foes want the North Dakota Legislature to raise the state’s tobacco tax for the first time since 1993.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rugby Republican Rep. Jon Nelson is pushing the bipartisan bill that would raise the state’s cigarette tax from 44 cents a pack to $1.54. The tax on a can of snuff would jump from 60 cents to $2.72.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State data show that the tax increase on tobacco prices would raise more than $138 million over the next two years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nelson says raising the price on a pack of cigarettes acts as an incentive to quit smoking, as well as raise money for health programs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota ranks 46th among states in the amount of tax smokers pay.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Retailers and the state Chamber of Commerce are opposing the bill.

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A West Fargo man who ran for mayor in 2010 is going to federal prison for six years on a child porn charge.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. attorney’s office says 52-year-old Peter Karl was sentenced Monday for the receipt of materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors. After serving his prison time, he’ll be on supervised release for the rest of his life.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Karl has lived in West Fargo since 2005 and received 2 percent of the citywide vote when he ran for mayor in 2010. He also made an unsuccessful bid for a city commission position in 2012.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Karl has a child pornography conviction in New York state for which he was given probation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0LEITH, N.D. (AP) – The mayor of a North Dakota town that survived a takeover attempt by a white supremacist says he won’t comment on a criminal charge filed against him stemming from a fire.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leith Mayor Ryan Schock is facing a charge of failure to control or report a dangerous fire. The misdemeanor carries a maximum punishment of one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. He’s due in court Feb. 17.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 charge stems from a state Bureau of Criminal Investigation probe into the burning of structures in Leith that the city deemed to be nuisance properties. The burning was part of an effort to clean up the town after Cobb was put on probation for terrorizing and menacing residents and left the community.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A judge has ordered a mental health examination for a woman accused of leaving her 2- and 4-year-old daughters to die in a remote area of northwestern North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The defense for Michelle Wounded Face requested the exam, and federal prosecutors didn’t object.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland says there’s reasonable cause to believe Wounded Face is “suffering from a mental disease or deficit.” She’ll spend up to a month being examined in a federal facility, likely in Rochester, Minnesota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 24-year-old Wounded Face is a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota. She’s been living on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – The first ladies of the Dakotas are urging birthing hospitals in both states to help cut the number of early deliveries done for non-medical reasons. Linda Daugaard (DOO’-gard) of South Dakota and Betsy Dalrymple (DAHL’-rim-pahl) of North Dakota say many hospitals already have developed or are setting up policies to reduce what are known as early elective deliveries, or EEDs. They’re done before 39 weeks of pregnancy for no specific medical reason. The first ladies are challenging all birthing hospitals in the two states to sign a pledge to help reduce EEDs.<\/p>\n

BOSTON (AP) – Shortly after the Patriots completed their victory over the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, quite a few fans brought up the notion that MVP Tom Brady should give the truck he won for being named MVP to defensive back Malcolm Butler.

Jordan has already executed two al-Qaida prisoners, including a woman the IS wanted in exchange for the pilot. Meanwhile there is outrage throughout the Middle East. The head of Sunni Islam’s most respected seat of learning says the militants deserved the Quran-prescribed punishment of death, crucifixion or the chopping off of their arms.
