OMAHA, Neb. —  (12-2-19) Updated reservoir forecasts indicate that winter releases of 450 cubic feet per second are required from Jamestown Dam.  The table below shows the updated release reduction schedule for Jamestown and Pipestem Dams to winter levels.  The new target combined release rate is 700 cfs.

 

Jamestown Dam Releases (cfs) Pipestem Dam Releases (cfs) Total Combined Release (cfs)
Monday, Dec. 2 500 500 1,000
Tuesday, Dec. 3 450 400 850
Wednesday, Dec. 4 450 250 700

 

The Corps of Engineers will operate to minimize the risk of ice-related flooding, and adjustments to the releases will be made as needed.

Jamestown Dam on Monday was at a pool elevation of 1440.7 feet, 25% into the flood pool, and is dropping.  The pool elevation peaked Nov. 12 at 1442.0 feet, which was 31% into the flood pool.  Inflows are near 500 cfs, and releases are 500 cfs.

Pipestem Dam on Monday was at a pool elevation of 1460.2 feet, 18% into the flood pool, and is dropping.  The pool elevation peaked Oct. 29 at 1475.0 feet, which was 43% into the flood pool.  Inflows are near 300 cfs, and releases are 500 cfs.

The Corps of Engineers is coordinating with relevant agencies in North and South Dakota.

 

Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says, Jamestown native, developer Brian Lunde has contacted a national firm in sponsoring a project to revitalize Frontier Village in Jamestown.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Heinrich pointed out that Lunde’s plan calls for no city dollars to be infused, as the developer will work with other entities in the community such as Jamestown Tourism, and the City of Jamestown officials. The mayor added that this proposal will parallel others in the Jamestown community that come forward and step up and assist.

He added that plans are to make Frontier Village a more interactive site, as envisioned by the founders in the 1960’s, rather than the static attraction it has been, since the Village came on scene in the 1960’s.

Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund has said that Frontier Village need to be a unique visitor experience.

Mayor Heinrich said, to his knowledge there are no plans to close Frontier Village this coming summer for a year, while plans move forward on the development.

On another topic mayor said the legal action being brought against the city by the Frontier Village attorney has been dropped, when plans were to move the Village to Minnesota.   (Previously, a law suit filed in Southeast District Court, by the Frontier Village Association against the City of Jamestown, with a temporary restraining order has been dismissed, following a stipulation of dismissal filed.  The restraining order prohibited the City of Jamestown from interfering in the Transfer of items at Frontier Village to the Perham, Minnesota, Pioneer Village.)

Mayor Heinrich  added that legal issues have been resolved, and Frontier Village was deeded to the city, including the monetary assets.

Yet to be resolved is management and maintenance issues.  Also to be determined ownership artifacts at the Village, and what was loaned or given, which is being researched, for documentation, or cataloging of the items.

The Frontier Village Association voted November 1 on a 3-1 vote with one abstention to transfer all property and debt to the city of Jamestown.

Valley City  (VCSU)   The new VCSU heat plant east of Rhoades Science Center was funded by an appropriation received from the North Dakota Legislature in its 2015 session. The new heat plant replaced an outdated facility constructed in 1910.

VCSU, in collaboration with the Institute for Energy Studies at the University of North Dakota, is pursuing an innovative carbon plant addition to the heat plant. The carbon plant would burn North Dakota lignite coal and biomass in a clean process to produce fuel for the heat plant, while at the same time producing valuable activated carbon byproducts.

Additional information on the carbon plant integration into the heat plant can be found at www.vcsu.edu/cmsfiles/48/c274c5c415.pdf.

NFL NEWS

UNDATED (AP) — Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew will return to Jacksonville’s starting lineup Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. He replaces ineffective and highly paid veteran Nick Foles following the team’s fourth consecutive lopsided loss.

Coach Doug Marrone made the announcement Monday, one day after a 28-11 home loss to Tampa Bay in which the 4-8 Jaguars managed 242 yards, turned the ball over four times and were flagged a season-high 16 times for 125 yards. It was the team’s 18th loss in its past 24 games. Marrone benched Foles at halftime, trailing 25-0.

Minshew went 4-4 as the starter while Foles recovered from a broken left collarbone suffered in the opener. Minshew rallied the team Sunday and had a chance to make it a seven-point game in the fourth quarter.

In other NFL news:

X-rays taken on Mayfield were negative.

— The Lions have put rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Hockenson caught 32 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns this season after being taking by Detroit in the first round of the draft.

Reds ink Moustakas

UNDATED (AP) —  Backup infielder Ehire (AY’-ray) Adrianza and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to a $1.6 million, one-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration. Adrianza batted .272 with a .765 OPS, both career bests.

The Cincinnati Reds have added an All-Star infielder to their starting lineup.

The Reds have worked out a four-year, $64 million package with free-agent infielder Mike Moustakas (moos-TAH’-kahs). Moustakas batted .254 with 35 homers and 87 RBIs this year and made his third All-Star team.

The 31-year-old could fill the Reds’ hole at second base that opened when Scooter Gennett (jeh-NEHT’) got hurt and then was traded last season.

In other MLB news:

— Catcher Austin Barnes agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year contract with the Dodgers, who also reached an $875,000 deal with left-hander Scott Alexander.

Miami also claimed first baseman Jesús Aguilar off waivers after he was designated for assignment last week by the Rays.

In world and national news…

LONDON (AP) — President Donald Trump is criticizing Democrats at the start of a NATO leaders’ meeting, calling the impeachment push by his rivals “unpatriotic” and “a bad thing for our country.” Trump, who commented while meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in London, has criticized Democrats for holding an impeachment hearing while he is abroad. The House Judiciary Committee has set a hearing for Wednesday on the constitutional grounds for Trump’s possible impeachment on Wednesday just as he wraps two days of meetings with alliance members.

 

PARIS (AP) — France’s finance minister is threatening a “strong European riposte” if the Trump administration follows through on a proposal to hit French wine, cheese, handbags and other products with tariffs of up to 100%. The U.S. Trade Representative proposed the tariffs Monday in retaliation for a French tax on tech giants including Google, Amazon and Facebook.

 

LONDON (AP) — President Donald Trump says the world has to be watching the Iranian government’s violent effort to quash protests he says have killed “thousands of people.” Trump spoke in London, where he’s attending the NATO leaders summit. Trump said Tuesday, “Iran is killing thousands and thousands of people right now as we speak.” The Republican president adds the people were killed “for the mere fact that they’re protesting.” Trump was mum on what the U.S. could do in response to the violence. Iranian state television acknowledges security forces shot and killed what it described as “rioters” in multiple cities amid recent protests over the spike in government-set gasoline prices.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is poised to release a landmark impeachment report outlining evidence of what it calls President Donald Trump’s wrongdoing toward Ukraine, findings that will push Congress toward a debate over whether he should be removed from office. Democrats on the Intelligence Committee are making the case that Trump engaged in behavior that violated his oath of office, while Republicans insist the president never intended to pressure Ukraine when he asked for a “favor.” The report being released Tuesday lays the foundation for articles of impeachment and sets up a test of political judgment that’s dividing Congress and the country.
