Ryder
News for Nov. 26, 2015
Happy Thanksgiving everyone…Hope you had a
great day filled with lots of turkey and trimmings! We sure did as we had our
turkey day meal with John and Staci and Johnny in Minot. Kenny took along some
walkie talkies so he and Johnny had a splendid time!
Anyone that has Facebook on their computer
should have seen by now the shared stories and pictures about the Ambulance
that was stolen on November 20th, 2015 from Trinity Hospital ER in Minot while
the attendants were transferring a patient into the hospital. I am sharing this
information for those away from home in other states who read the Ryder news.
This resulted in a high speed chase south of
Minot by the ND Highway Patrol and later involving the Foster County Sheriff’s
Office who were notified that a stolen Ambulance was being chased by several
Law Enforcement Officers and was coming in on Hwy 52 from the west.
The stolen Ambulance, which was driven by
Timothy Blowers, drove over stop spikes but continued into Carrington. The
North Dakota Highway Patrol then set up stop spikes south of Carrington however
the Ambulance went around them. A quarter mile south a north bound vehicle
driven by Cole Zaderaka, drove off the roadway into the east ditch in an
attempt to avoid the oncoming emergency vehicles. The Ambulance driven by
Blowers, then went into the east ditch and struck the SUV driven by Cole
Zaderaka. After striking the SUV, Blowers exited the flipped Ambulance and
attempted to run away. Sheriff Mattice chased him on foot, tackled and
apprehended him. Zaderaka had to be extricated from the SUV, by the Carrington
Fire and Rescue. Zaderaka is in stable condition. Blowers faces many criminal
charges including Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Stolen property,
Reckless Endangerment, Aggravated Reckless driving, and Fleeing. This
information was provided by Sheriff Alan Ian Mattice from the Foster County
Sheriff’s office.
I have received the following information
from a reliable source: Cole, was on his way home from college for his 20th
birthday the next day. He had to be extricated....air lifted into
Trinity.....small concussion, broken clavicle, and air in pocket outside of
heart in area of break. His face is scratched up, and he had 5 stitches in back
of his head from a gash. They said at the scene if he hadn’t been driving a
vehicle that big (a Lincoln belonging to his parents) the accident probably
would have been fatal!
Thank goodness he will be okay after his
nightmare day!
Bernie and Eloise Pellenwessel sent me the
following e-mail to share with everyone: We recently sold our home in Ryder and
now Jedediah Rader and Clarissa Ford-Rader and their two children are the new
homeowners. We hope they enjoy their home ownership in Ryder as we have over
the past years, and being a part of the Ryder community. As many of you know,
we will always have ties - and will continue those ties - to the Ryder area.
Happy Thanksgiving as well as Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to
everyone.
We would like to welcome the Raders into
our community and hopefully we will all get to know them.
Kenny and I were pleasantly surprised Saturday
evening when John, Staci and Johnny came out from Minot. They came to pick up
some furniture we had given them. We all decided to go to Garrison and have
supper before loading up furniture.
Don and Elaine Alderman’s new double wide
home is finally here and in place at their home south of Ryder. They haven’t
moved into it yet as there is work to be done on it both inside and out. In the
meantime Don, with the help of his wife has been busy building a deck on it. I
for one would have loved to have been there just to watch Elaine helping him!!
I just found out about another home robbery
in the South Prairie area that happened in Sept. Guns and other items were
stolen out of a farm home. Remember to keep your homes and vehicles locked. It
also wouldn’t hurt to invest in some security cameras so if you are robbed you
may be able to identify the ones who did it.
This seems to be all the news I can find to
share with you readers for this week. Let me know where you enjoyed your turkey
dinner and who you enjoyed it with. We will all be waiting to hear about your
day…after all…enquiring minds want to know! I know a lot of you out there in
Readerville got your deer, how about sending me some pictures with details!!
