BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota officials say they want to repurpose $16 million in federal coronavirus aid and spend it on grants to encourage fracking instead of using it to clean up abandoned oil well sites. The Bismarck Tribune reports that regulators present the proposal as a way to create hundreds of jobs in the oil fields and help stabilize state revenue. But some in the environmental community view it as a bailout for the oil industry. The North Dakota Emergency Commission will consider the proposal Friday that would make oil companies eligible for a $200,000 reimbursement per well they complete.

Women

MITCHELL, S.D. (UJ) — Claire Struble (JR/Murrieta, Calif.) notched her first collegiate hat trick, helping the University of Jamestown women’s soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Dakota Wesleyan University Wednesday night in Great Plains Athletic Conference action.

With the win, the Jimmies improve to 6-3 overall and 4-3 in the GPAC. Dakota Wesleyan falls to 7-3 overall and 5-3 in the GPAC.

UJ came out on the offensive against the Tigers, piling up 12 first-half shots with four of them on target.

Struble opening the scoring in the 19th minute on an unassisted goal. The lead remained 1-0 at the halftime break.

Jamestown went ahead 2-0 in the 49th minute on a pass from Kamryn Fiscus (SO/Yakima, Wash.) that found Struble for her second goal of the match.

Struble completed the hat trick in the 64th minute with an unassisted goal. The three goals doubled her season total and she now leads UJ with six goals on the season.

A stingy Jimmie defense allowed just three shots in the second half, one on target. UJ outshot DWU 24-7 overall and had a 10-3 edge in shots on target.

Alex Nowka (SO/Anchorage, Alaska) was called on to make three saves in the match, keeping a clean sheet for the second straight contest and fourth time overall.

The Jimmies are back in action Saturday when they host College of Saint Mary (Neb.) at 1 p.m. on the Jimmie Turf Field.

(UJ) — Jaymee Kambel (SO/Amsterdam, Netherlands) notched his first collegiate hat trick in the first half, and Luis Zepeda (SO/Puebla, Mexico) bagged the eventual game-winner as the University of Jamestown men’s soccer team defeated Dakota Wesleyan University 4-3 Wednesday night in Great Plains Athletic Conference action.

The Jimmies won back-to-back matches for the first time this season and are now 3-4 overall, 3-3 in the GPAC. DWU falls to 2-6-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the GPAC.

Ndrin Maloku put the home team ahead in the eighth minute on an assist by Jason Jattan.

Joel Sanchez’s unassisted goal in the 28th minute leveled the match for DWU, but Kambel struck in the 38th minute from a Samuel Adama (JR/London, England) pass to put the Jimmies in front 3-2.

In the 51st minute, Maloku tallied his second to tie the match at 3-3.

Zepeda broke the deadlock in the 58th minute with his second goal of the year.

UJ’s defense held tough over the final 30-plus minutes, allowing just two shots go high over the goal while blocking three more.

Shots were 17-13 in favor of the Jimmies, as were shots on target (9-4).

Next up for Jamestown is a home match against Mount Marty (S.D.) University on October 28 at 7:30 p.m.

MLB-WORLD SERIES

Rays square series

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The World Series is tied at a game apiece after Brandon Lowe (low) broke out of a three-week slump.

Lowe homered twice and had three RBIs as the Rays downed the Dodgers, 6-4. He put the Rays ahead with a first-inning blast and added a two-run shot that made it 5-0 in the fifth.

Lowe was hitting just .107 this postseason, including an 0-for-4 performance in Game 1.

Joey Wendle laced a two-run double and a sacrifice fly for Tampa Bay, which bounced back from Tuesday’s 8-3 loss.

Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell had a no-hitter until Chris Taylor unloaded a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. Snell followed that with a walk and another hit before leaving the game without a chance to pick up the victory.

Will Smith hit a solo homer in the sixth and Corey Seager did likewise in the eighth before the Rays’ bullpen closed it out. Diego Castillo struck out the only batter he faced to pick up the save.

Tony Gonsolin took the loss.

The series continues Friday.

NBA-PELICANS-VAN GUNDY

Van Gundy agrees to become Pelicans’ coach

UNDATED (AP) — Stan Van Gundy has agreed to become the next coach of the New Orleans Pelicans. He will replace Alvin Gentry, who was let go after the Pelicans went 30-42 this season and missed the playoffs.

Van Gundy spent parts of 12 seasons coaching Miami, Orlando and Detroit, winning 58% of his games and going to the playoffs eight times. Now, he gets the chance to work with No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson.

NFL-NEWS

Panthers put Slye, 3rd OL on COVID-19 list

UNDATED (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have added kicker Joey Slye and offensive tackle Trent Scott to the COVID-19 reserve list, bringing their total number of players on the list to four. Scott becomes the third reserve offensive lineman to be placed on the COVID-19/reserve list in the last six days, joining Tyler Larsen and Michael Schofield.

The moves don’t necessarily mean those players have tested positive; they could have come in close contact with someone who has tested positive.

The Panthers practiced as usual Wednesday in preparation for their game Sunday at New Orleans.

In other NFL news:

— The Raiders sent all five starting offensive linemen home as part of coronavirus contact tracing after right tackle Trent Brown was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list with a positive test. The Raiders held practice without their starting five as they prepare for a home game against Tampa Bay.

— A’Shawn Robinson has been designated to return to practice with the Rams this week. He’s been on the non-football injury list for unspecified reasons at the start of training camp. The decision moves the new defensive tackle closer to his debut for Los Angeles.

— Jets quarterback Sam Darnold returned to practice for the first time since spraining his throwing shoulder. He could have a chance to play Sunday against the Bills after missing the last two games.

— A person with direct knowledge of the deal says the Jets have traded outside linebacker Jordan Willis to the 49ers. The Jets are also sending a 2021 seventh-round draft pick to the 49ers for a sixth-round selection in 2022.

— Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores says he regrets that his players found out about the team’s switch to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (TOO’-ah tuhng-ah-vy-LOH’-ah) through social media rather than from him. Tagovailoa, the fifth pick in the April draft, will make his first NFL start on Nov. 1 against the Los Angeles Rams after the Dolphins’ bye this week.

— Washington will allow only friends and family in attendance at FedEx Field on Sunday against the Cowboys, even after Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan allowed teams to fill outdoor stadiums to 10% capacity. At 10% capacity, roughly 8,000 fans would be allowed, something that remains possible later this season.

— Veteran defensive end/linebacker Aaron Lynch has unretired and been reinstated to Jacksonville’s roster. Lynch walked away in August after just a few days of training camp.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-NEWS

Penn State coach Pat Chambers resigns after investigation

UNDATED (AP) — Penn State’s Pat Chambers has resigned following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct by the Nittany Lions’ basketball coach. The 49-year-old Chambers had been at the school for nine years and was coming off the team’s best season under his directions.

Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a statement that assistant coach Jim Ferry was being elevated to interim coach for the coming season.

NCAA basketball season starts Nov. 25.

In other college basketball news:

— Kentucky has announced that the NCAA and Southeastern Conference have granted transfers Olivier Sarr and Jacob Toppin immediate eligibility to play this season. Both post players provide experience for the Wildcats, whose only returning regular is sophomore forward Keion Brooks Jr. The 7-foot Sarr played three years at Wake Forest and averaged 13.7 points, nine rebounds and 1.2 blocks last season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-LSU-PENALTIES

Tigers impose penalties involving Beckham, booster

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU has self-imposed penalties for NCAA rules violations by the football program that include a reduction of scholarships and a two-year ban from its athletic facilities for Browns star and former Tigers receiver Odell Beckham Jr. That’s according to a report by Sports Illustrated.

LSU acknowledged it was working with the NCAA and had self-imposed penalties but provided no other details.

Beckham was seen handing out cash to LSU players on the field after last year’s College Football Playoff national championship game, a violation that is considered minor. A more serious violation involves an LSU booster paying $180,000 that was embezzled from a charity to the father of a former LSU football player.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-SPORTS

Former Masters champ Scott tests positive for coronavirus

UNDATED (AP) — Former Masters champion Adam Scott has tested positive for the coronavirus and has pulled out of the Zozo Championship at Sherwood.

Scott is the second high-profile golfer to test positive in as many weeks. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson tested positive last week in Las Vegas.

In other virus-related developments:

— Phil Mickelson was planning to play the Houston Open a week before the Masters. That was before the tournament announced it was selling 2,000 tickets a day. That was enough for Mickelson to say he probably would play on the PGA Champions Tour that week in Phoenix. Mickelson says if the Charles Schwab Cup Championship also has limited spectators, then he probably would go to Houston.

— Maria Torres has withdrawn from the LPGA Tour event in Georgia this week because her caddie tested positive for the coronavirus. Torres says she has no symptoms but is self-isolating because of their contact.

NASCAR-RPM-JONES

Jones lands iconic No. 43 with RPM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Richard Petty Motorsports will enter the next chapter of its storied history with driver Erik Jones.

The pairing gives Petty a proven winner to replace Bubba Wallace, who is leaving at the end of the season. His departure could have crippled the cash-strapped Petty organization, but the team instead landed one of the top available talents.

Jones was dropped by megateam Joe Gibbs Racing in August after six seasons.

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials are redefining what it means to have close contact with someone with COVID-19. For months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said close contact meant spending a solid 15 minutes within 6 feet of someone who tested positive for coronavirus. On Wednesday, the CDC changed it to a total of 15 minutes or more _ so briefer but repeated contacts that add up to 15 minutes now count. Anyone who has been in close contact with a COVID-19 patient is advised to quarantine for two weeks. The CDC made the change because of a study in a Vermont prison.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden meet on the debate stage for the second and final time Thursday night. The 90-minute prime-time meeting comes just 12 days before Election Day as Trump fights to change the trajectory of the campaign. The president will be armed with dubious new reports of alleged maleficence by Biden’s son that have so far failed to draw much attention beyond conservative media. Trump, meanwhile, will face tough questions about the coronavirus pandemic as infections spike in key states across the country. Each candidate will be muted while the other delivers his two-minute remarks at the outset of each topic.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say Iran is behind a flurry of emails sent to Democratic voters in multiple battleground states that appeared to be aimed at intimidating them into voting for President Donald Trump. John Ratcliffe, the government’s top intelligence official, says, “These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries.” Ratcliffe and FBI Director Chris Wray insist the U.S. will impose costs on any foreign countries that interfere in the 2020 U.S. election and say the integrity of the election is still sound. The activities attributed to Iran mark a significant escalation at a time when most public election interference discussion has centered on Russia.

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — Illinois State Police are investigating after a suburban Chicago police officer fatally shot a Black teenager who was a passenger in a vehicle that rolled in reverse toward an officer. Authorities haven’t identified the person killed Tuesday. The driver, a Waukegan woman in her 20s who was wounded during the shooting, also hasn’t been identified. She was hospitalized in serious condition. Waukegan police say they were in a vehicle that fled a traffic stop late Tuesday. It was spotted a short time later. While an officer approached the vehicle, it began moving in reverse. Authorities say the officer feared for his safety and opened fire.

BEIJING (AP) — Global stocks and Wall Street futures have declined as investors watch for signs of progress in negotiations over a U.S. economic aid plan. Benchmarks in London, Frankfurt, Shanghai and Tokyo retreated. On Wall Street, futures for the S&P 500 index and Dow Jones Industrial Average were off 0.3%. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she made progress with the White House on more economic stimulus. Any agreement might face resistance in the Senate. Markets are swinging between optimism about possible development of a coronavirus vaccine and uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook without an aid package.

MOSCOW (AP) — A trio of space travelers has safely returned to Earth after a six-month mission on the International Space Station. A Soyuz capsule carrying NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, and Roscosmos’ Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner landed on the steppes of Kazakhstan. After a medical checkup, they’ll head home. As part of additional precautions due to the coronavirus, members of the Russian rescue team meeting the crew were tested for the virus and the number of people involved in the recovery effort was limited. Cassidy, Ivanishin and Vagner had lived on the station since April. NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov arrived at the orbiting outpost a week ago for a six-month stay.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists are optimistic that a NASA spacecraft has collected samples at asteroid Bennu for return to Earth. Officials said Wednesday that the spacecraft crushed rocks and sent rubble flying as it briefly touched an asteroid the day before. That suggests that the first U.S. asteroid- sampling effort was successful 200 million miles away. Scientists won’t know until next week how much was actually gathered. They want at least a handful of the cosmic rubble, equivalent to 2 ounces. Whatever it proves to be, the precious haul won’t arrive at Earth until 2023.
