Moments later, Terry Koehm of Jamestown waded out and helped carry the two occupants to shore. Gray said the three risked their own lives to save two strangers and deserved recognition for their efforts. The two occupants of the car were not seriously injured. Police believe the driver fell asleep.

when he saw a car cross the median near Spiritwood and plunge into the water. Nord and John Grabinger of Jamestown stopped and waded out to the car, Nord said. The driver and his passenger appeared disoriented and were unable to unlock the doors or roll any windows down. "I got a shovel from my car and waded out as far as I could and threw (Grabinger) the shovel and pressure closes rest area Lawyer tells of hew lead FARGO (AP) Investigators are-following up on a "significant in the 5-year-old disappearance of a young Fargo girl, Cass County State's Attorney John Goff said Thursday. During a debate with the two other candidates on next week's puiraary ballot for state's attorney, Goff: his office was "working on a new lead" that could finally launch criminal charges in the case of North.

The 11-year-old girl disappeared in 1993 while skating near her home. Goff declined to elaborate after the debate on KFGO radio, saying only that the information investigators received was "significant" and (them) across the coun- ps added that the information reinforces investigators' suspicions about Jeanna's fate. Authorities believe Kyle Bell, who" currently is in prison on an unrelated conviction, killed Jeanna, tieder body to a cinder block and dumped her from a bridge over the Sheyenne River. Bell allegedly confessed, but lat- -erfiaid the confession was coerced. file has not been charged in the ease.

'Jeanna's body has never been re-l covered, despite several searches of the river. i Cutworms hurt crops in Walsh DEVILS LAKE Fall start possible for plan A plan to move water from Devils Lake to Stump Lake could be implemented as early as this fall if local landowners and officials approve, Gov. Ed Scnafer's attorney says. Bob Harms said the governor's office has been in contact with landowners about the plan. He said he is optimistic it will go forward.

State officials are convinced Devils Lake will rise high enough to flow naturally into Stump Lake next year, Harms said. Landowners along the route would likely allow the process to be speeded up and get paid rather than let nature take its course, he said. A natural flow to Stump Lake would cause more damage than a controlled flow, he added. Harms said it would cost about $1 million to channel the water between the lakes and an additional $2 million to compensate landowners and cover other expenses. Associated Press MINOT Juvenile detention plan readied Members of a special Ward County committee say they have come up with a plan for a juvenile detention center that would cost less than remodeling the jail's kitchen.

Sheriff Vern Erck said Wednesday the committee will soon unveil its plan to convert an existing cell block in the county jail in Minot into a facility to temporarily house juveniles. The plan will go to the full County Commission on June 1. Some commissioners had favored a plan to remodel the unused kitchen at the jail into a juvenile facility. An architect's estimate for that proposal ranged from about $270,000 to $403,000. Erck said the committee is still working on the cost to remodel the space, called Cellblock and operate it.

Associated Press FARGO Class project becomes hobby What started as a project in Judi Maddock's fifth-grade class has turned into what Beth Olson calls her lifetime hobby. "I'll definitely quilt and sew for the rest of my life. I like it a lot," said Beth, a fifth-grade student in Maddock's class at Fargo's Longfellow Elementary School. Beth is one of the students who created two quilt squares depicting life in North Dakota as fifth-graders see it in the 21st century. The squares were completed last week as part of the Quilts Across America program sponsored by the American Craft Museum in New York City.

Maddock's class was the only one in North Dakota to participate in the program. The quilt squares will be sewn together to make one giant quilt that will be displayed at museums throughout the country in 1999. Associated Press get a little less pressure," Olson said. "It's the nature of a rural water system." The reduction in pressure affects the rest area more than other users, he said. Gilbertson said the situation will be reviewed on a day-by-day basis, and when the pressure is back up, the rest area will reopen.
