Jamestown (CSi) – The 28th Annual, Community Thanksgiving Dinner will be at Concordia Lutheran Church at 502 First Avenue North in Jamestown, on Thursday November 22.
On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Pastor, Tom Eckstein said the Thanksgiving Service is at 10-a.m. Dinner will be served from 11-a.m., to 1-p.m., Thanksgiving Day, in the church basement, handicapped accessible. Use the west door.
He added that drivers will deliver meals, or give a ride to the church, for services and the meal.
Those wishing to have a ride or meals delivered may call the church at 252-2819.
The meal is free to anyone, and consists of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and dessert. There will also be musical entertainment.
He said that nearly 30 turkeys will be served, and baked at through the support of the University of Jamestown kitchen, and brought to the church for serving.
The meal consists of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and dessert, and a beverage.
He said last year 650 meals were served at the church, and around 300 meals were home delivered.
He pointed out that volunteers throughout the community make the meal possible, adding that the food is donated, by local businesses, or purchased through charitable donations.
The Thanksgiving meal was first offered by Fritz Buegle, who owned and operated the Pantry Café at that time, when 40 individuals were served. Over the years the event grew and for space accommodations it’s been served the past several years at Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown.
Pastor Eckstein added that the regular church services are Sundays at 8-a.m. and 10:30-a.m., and the service is repeated Wednesday evenings at 7-p.m.
Update with ID’s
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Environmental and landowner advocates in North Dakota are criticizing the decision of North Dakota regulators to give the oil industry more flexibility to meet natural gas flaring regulations.
The Industrial Commission voted Tuesday to change the goals of the gas capture policy first adopted in 2014 to focus on increasing the volume of captured gas and thus reduce the percentage of flared gas. The group comprised of the governor, agriculture secretary and attorney general is emphasizing policies that encourage the industry to invest in gas capture infrastructure.
Oil companies have had plenty of time to find ways to reduce flaring, and the state is bowing to the wishes of industry rather than safeguarding the public interest, Sierra Club spokeswoman Wayde Schafer told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
“There’s just a lack of will on the industry’s part, and the Industrial Commission is willing to let them get away with it,” he said.
Natural gas not captured at oil wells is burned off, a practice known as flaring that can degrade air quality. North Dakota has struggled to build enough infrastructure to capture the gas.
North Dakota operators flared a record 457 million cubic feet per day of natural gas in September. The industry has fallen short of the state target of capturing 85 percent of natural gas for five straight months, and Tuesday’s action by the Industrial Commission further expands the number of circumstances that allow a company to be in compliance with the gas capture policy even if the company’s flaring rate exceeds the benchmark.
The Industrial Commission cited “the staggering pace of gas production” as the reason for revisiting the policy, saying the policy must be balanced with the infrastructure that’s in place and how the industry is evolving. The commission also left in place a plan to raise the benchmark to 88 percent in November, despite a recommendation by state Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms to postpone the increase for two years.
State officials note the volume of natural gas captured in September also hit a record, at nearly 2.1 billion cubic feet per day. Gov. Doug Burgum also said the industry has invested nearly $5 billion in gas capture infrastructure since 2013.
