Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Salvation Army Kettle Campaign kicks off on Thursday November 15. This year’s goal has been upped to $168,000.
Major, Tim Nauta says, last year’s goal was nearly $160,000, with the extra dollars in this year’s goal will go toward the reopening the Salvation Army’s game room, providing a safe place for school-age kids to go, in addition the increased needs in services provided to the community, all year long, which outpaces funding.
The Salvation Army strives to fight against homelessness in the area, and to make sure heating bills are paid and other necessities are provided for in homes.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Park Board has approved $14,000 from the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Foundation, toward Phase II of the Two River Activity Center (TRAC) expansion.
The funds are earmarked for designing of the outdoor water park, and supporting structures proposals, by Zerrberg Architects of Fargo.
The designing is expected to be completed by the end of January, 2019, to include community focus group meetings, along with marketing materials, and program requirements and components.
TRAC Manager Amy Walters, says if plans are accepted and moves forward into construction, Zerrberg’s cost would amount to eight percent of the approximate $2 million project cost in lieu of the $14,000.

The bucket truck would be used primarily for tree trimming and exterior building maintenance of Parks and Recreation buildings, including TRAC.

Jamestown (JRMC) Selecting health insurance plans can be ‘sticky.’ That’s why Jamestown Regional Medical Center is offering caramel rolls, cinnamon rolls and other sticky treats to help educate individuals during the Open Enrollment period.
Becca Klipfel, JRMC’s patient access financial advocate, says, “After a family member gets sick, the last thing you want to hear is, ‘I’m sorry, your insurance doesn’t cover that. We’re hoping to help people understand their insurance plans now, while they still have choices and before an emergency occurs.”
Let’s Roll: Open Enrollment is set for 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, however, individuals can call with questions anytime.
Kilpfel adds, “Our goal is to offer pressure-free guidance. We don’t sell insurance or advocate for any certain brand. We simply help individuals learn the ins and outs of insurance, whether its private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.”
More than 22,000 North Dakotans enrolled in a health insurance plan through the Affordable Health Care Act in 2018. Open Enrollment lasts through Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018.

Update…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company developing an oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota has supplied adequate information to justify drawing water from an underwater aquifer, State Water Commission officials testified Wednesday.
An attorney for area landowners challenging the recommended permit for the Davis Refinery countered that information from developer Meridian Energy Group has been vague and contradictory.
The water permit is one of several hurdles that Meridian must overcome as it seeks to build the refinery just 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the state’s top tourist attraction. Administrative Law Judge Tim Dawson later will issue a recommendation to State Engineer Garland Erbele, whose final decision could be appealed to state court.

Men’s College Basketball…
VALLEY CITY (VCSU) – The Vikings and Jimmies delivered another men’s basketball classic Wednesday night.
Playing their first contest since Jamestown moved to the Great Plains Athletic Conference, the former conference rivals went back and forth at The Bubble in a game that featured 10 ties and 11 lead changes. The Jimmies had the last big run, scoring six straight points in the final minutes to create some separation en route to an 83-75 victory.
Valley City State drops to 1-5 overall this season. Jamestown improves to 6-1.
Jamestown – which entered the night making 14 3-pointers per game – made just one 3-pointer all night, but it was a big one. Isaiah Dobson knocked down a 3 from the left corner with 4:26 left in the game, giving Jamestown a 68-63 lead. The Jimmies were 0-for-9 from deep before Dobson’s make.
Valley City State’s Logan Nelson answered right back with a 3-pointer on the other end, making it a two-point game again. The Vikings had two possessions to tie the game, but could not get over the hump. The Jimmies would respond by scoring the next six points to take a 74-66 lead with 1:30 to go, and then went 9-for-10 at the free throw line to ice the victory.
After trailing by three at halftime, and by as many as eight early in the second half, the Vikings fought back to take a four-point lead at 54-50 with 11:45 remaining. Alex Weston‘s 3-pointer capped a 9-2 run to give the Vikings that advantage. Jamestown responded by outscoring VCSU 11-3 over the next four minutes to take a 61-57 lead they would not relinquish.
Vikings Connor Entzi and Christian Kvilvang, who both transferred to VCSU this year from the University of Jamestown, combined to score 38 points as they took the floor with a bit of extra motivation. Entzi led the Vikings with 24 points on 9-for-11 shooting. Logan Nelson poured in 20 points for VCSU, and was 4-for-8 from 3-point range. Kvilvang finished with 14 points and four rebounds, and Chris Morgan added 10 points for VCSU.
The Vikings shot 50 percent from the field (31-62), 32 percent from 3-point range (8-25) and were 5-for-9 on free throws. The Jimmies entered the game shooting 48 percent on 3’s, but made just one 3-pointer in the game. They made up ground at the free throw line where they went 24-for-27. Jamestown shot 48 percent from the field (29-61) and 9 percent from deep (1-11).
Jimmie guard Jon Purintun poured in a game-high 32 points on 12-for-23 shooting. Kevin Oberweiser added 19 points.
Jamestown held a 35-24 rebounding advantage. VCSU finished with nine turnovers, eight assists, four blocks and three steals. Jamestown turned it over six times and had seven assists, no blocks and two steals.
Up next: Valley City State plays in a tournament at the University of Minnesota-Crookston this weekend. The Vikings play Crookston on Saturday and then play Oak Hills Christian College on Sunday. Jamestown travels to Concordia, Neb., for a game on Saturday.

MLB-CY YOUNG AWARDS
DeGrom. Snell take Cy Young awards
NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom (deh-GRAHM’) and Blake Snell have become first-time winners of the Cy Young Award.
DeGrom took National League honors after going 10-9 with 269 strikeouts and a major league-leading 1.70 ERA for the Mets. He finished the season with 29 consecutive starts of allowing three runs or fewer, shattering the previous major league-record streak of 26.
Although deGrom’s victory total is the lowest for any starter in his Cy Young season, he captured 29 of 30 first-place votes and 207 points to easily outdistance Washington ace Max Scherzer. Philadelphia’s Aaron Nola was third in the voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
Scherzer went 18-7 with a 2.53 ERA, leading the majors with 220 2/3 innings and 300 strikeouts.
DeGrom is the fourth Met to win the award, joining Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden and R.A. Dickey.
The writers also liked Snell, who was 21-5 with a 1.89 ERA and 221 strikeouts in 180 2/3 innings for the Rays. The left-hander claimed the American League Cy Young Award by pacing the majors in victories and posting the AL’s top earned run average.
Houston’s Justin Verlander was second to Snell in the balloting after leading the AL with 290 strikeouts and going 16-9 with a 2.52 ERA.
Indians ace Corey Kluber was a distant third in the balloting despite a 20-win season.
