Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Public Works informs residents that city crews will begin the full snow plowing program starting with the Emergency routes beginning approximately at 5:00 a.m., Thursday, February 7, 2019.
City crews will begin plowing residential areas at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, February 7, 2019.
Crews will continue work during the night with the Downtown district beginning at 11:00 pm.
City Ordinance Section 25-10 requires that a property owner keep the sidewalk adjoining the property clear of snow and ice. Do not deposit snow or ice on the city street after the city plow has cleared the street. These violations are class B misdemeanors under the general penalty and will result in a fine.
Valley City (CSi) Valley City Public Works crews go out at midnight Wednesday, with snow removal in the downtown area and schools.
Crews will move into the emergency routes.
Jeff Differding says residential areas will be started when the snow has falling.
At that time, crews will begin clearing the Northeast section of the city then moving clockwise to the Southeast area of the city.
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, began increasing releases from Baldhill Dam on the Sheyenne River near Valley City, North Dakota, Wednesday due to recent snow water equivalency measurements.
As of the morning, of Feb. 6, Lake Ashtabula’s pool elevation was 1,262.8 feet and releases were increased to 150 cubic feet per second, or cfs. Based on our operating procedures, we target a drawdown of the reservoir’s pool to 1,255 feet by April 1 to allow capacity for snowmelt. Releases from the dam will be increased gradually to 250 cfs. Additional releases to as much as 400 cfs may be necessary to reach the target pool elevation.
PUBLIC SAFETY: Everyone is urged to use caution if on the Sheyenne River, as the increase in flows from Baldhill Dam will change downstream ice conditions.

Jamestown (Ally Knudtson) Congratulations to team Get ‘ER done, the top point earner for New Year, New You challenge week four. Team Get ‘ER done includes seven participants from Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department.
NYNY is an eight-week wellness challenge that encourages participants to develop positive lifestyle changes.
NYNY is about exercising and eating right. It’s also about staying healthy. Don’t let achy joints get in the way of the last four weeks of NYNY.
Joints, tendons, ligaments and carpals go through much wear and tear, which can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel commonly afflicts people who do repetitive hand motions or use awkward hand positions at work. It is a common occupational hazard for those who work as hairdressers, farmers, cashiers, bakers, janitors or around mechanics and machines.
JRMC Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Timothy Volk said, “Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compressive neuropathy that often occurs with repetitive motion activities. Risk factors include obesity, female gender, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, alcoholism and smoking.”
Although there is no proven strategy to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, individuals may minimize risk by relaxing their grip, taking a break to stretch and bend and ensure ergonomic health and posture.
“Our joints need moments of rest so they can naturally work to repair themselves,” shared Dr. Michael T. Dean, JRMC orthopedic surgeon.
Relax those wrists, bring out the daubers and get ready for Better Me Bingo during the last four weeks of NYNY. Add additional points to your score if you bingo.
Attending a community activity outside of normal activities will yield each participant five bonus points this week. In addition, attendees can earn extra points for the work-friendly Lose Your Lap exercises and the more intense High-Intensity Interval Training.
Teams points are due by 8 a.m. on Tuesday. To learn more about NYNY or two submit points, visit www.jrmcnd.com/nyny. View the full list of teams at www.jrmcnd.com/nyny/teams-standings/.
For information about carpal tunnel syndrome, orthopedics or to schedule an appointment, call (701) 952-4878 or visit www.jrmcnd.com/orthopedics.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota residents would have control over their personal internet data under a bill considered by the state Legislature.
Fargo Republican Rep. Jim Kasper, the primary sponsor of the bill, said during a hearing Wednesday that the measure would allow the state residents to ask companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon what personal data has been collected and how it has been shared. The measure also would allow residents to demand the data be deleted and not collected in the future, he said.
It also would forbid companies from punishing consumers who don’t want their data collected or sold.
“People have a right to know about what data is being collected,” Kasper said in an interview. “And they have a right to say ‘yes or no.'”
The measure comes amid growing worries worldwide about internet privacy.
Last year, the data privacy rules took effect in Europe. California also passed data privacy legislation last year and several states are considering new laws.
Kasper said his initial bill was patterned after California’s measure, but then amended it Wednesday to mirror one being considered in Washington state.
Officials representing the technology industry, including the Computing Technology Industry Association and the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, or CTIA, testified against the North Dakota’s bill, and said they did not have enough time to consider Kasper’s amendment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The company proposing to develop a controversial wind farm in Burleigh County is appealing a decision denying it permits for the project.
Pure New Energy USA has filed an appeal with the South Central Judicial District Court challenging the Burleigh County Commission’s recent decision to deny 30 special use permits. The Bismarck Tribune says the company argues it has “met any and all requirements for issuance” of the permits for the Burleigh-Emmons Wind Farm.
The county commission last month voted 4-1 to deny the permits in Morton Township as recommended by the county planning and zoning board. The project has elicited a strong response from community members, drawing more than 500 people to a recent four-hour public hearing.
In sports…
Jamestown (uj.edu) The University of Jamestown football team started off National SIgning Day with the announcement of 25 committed recruits Wednesday.
“There is something special about the University of Jamestown,” said Jimmie head coach Brian Mistro. “I am excited to have these young men become a part of the Jimmie Family.”
UJ’s first wave of recruits include seven from California, six from Minnesota, and four from North Dakota. Three are from Arizona and Nevada, with one from Alabama and an international transfer from Italy by way of California.
“The work that this staff has done is tremendous,” Mistro said. “There is never a great time for a coaching transition, especially during recruiting season, but our guys put the effort in to bring in a class we look forward to seeing develop into great Jimmies.”
Wide receiver and linebacker feature the most signings so far. The group includes eight wide receivers, seven linebackers, three defensive linemen, and one each at quarterback, fullback, running back, offensive line, defensive tackle, defensive back, and safety. There are thirteen defensive players signed and twelve on the offensive side of the ball.
“We feel like we recruited young men that are going to impact us early in their career,” Mistro said. “We are not done yet. We are going to keep working to find guys that are the right fit for our university and our program.”
UJ will once again have an 11-game schedule in 2019, with nine conference games and non-conference matchups against Valley City State (N.D.) and Dickinson State (N.D.). The Jimmies open the season August 29 at Valley City State, then host Dickinson State on September 7.
The Jimmies were 3-8 in 2018, including a 2-7 mark in their first season of Great Plains Athletic Conference competition.
