BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum implored the state to remain vigilant in preventing infections on the Thanksgiving holiday as the state reported a downward tick in coronavirus cases. The Republican governor acknowledged in a Thanksgiving statement that the state still has a long way to go in containing the spread of the virus, saying “a week of improved results does not make a trend.” Health experts have warned that holiday gatherings could lead to a surge of infections. The Department of Health reported 952 cases, along with 10 deaths from COVID-19.
Jamestown (CSi) Thanksgiving weekend will brings something new to Jamestown! A debut art installation by Virginia-based artist Patty Swygert opens at the National Buffalo Museum on Friday, November 27th, with a virtual opening reception and artist talk on December 4th.
The Museum’s Curator of Collections, Rachel Johnson, on Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, said, Swygert is a conceptual and visual sculptor and fiber artist. Her installation, I AM BISON, uses paint, ink, earth pigments, soil, dyes, thread and yarn on paper, fabric, and found objects, to offer glimpses of the iconic National Mammal, from prehistory through present day. The installation features nearly 30 two- and three-dimensional works created by Swygert specifically for the National Buffalo Museum’s space.
Rachel added, “When Patty contacted us after she participated in our juried art show, Bison in Art 2019, to propose creating this immersive exhibit, we were thrilled. It is exciting to have an artist of this caliber creating work for the museum and bringing attention to the story of the bison’s ongoing restoration.”
Asked what inspired her about this project, Swygert said, “I love stories, especially those which feature an underdog and involve numbers. The story of the bison has both of those characteristics. From the first animals which crossed into North America from Asia, bison flourished until millions roamed the continent for perhaps millions of years before being reduced to fewer than 1,000 animals in just a few decades and then brought back from the brink of extinction.”
Swygert’s work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally. Individual pieces range in size from micro sculptures less than 2 inches to room-sized installations. She works in various media including concrete, led lights, paper, fabric, fiber, metal, wood, stone, glass, and repurposed and found objects. Often experiential and interactive, tactile and touchable, some of her pieces capture light, texture, and color while others address more controversial social issues, global crises, and the fate of humans and animals as they navigate a changing world.
The National Buffalo Museum will be open from 10am to 5pm Friday through Sunday of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I AM BISON will be on view from November 27, 2020 to September 11, 2021.
The National Buffalo Museum’s mission is to advocate for the restoration of the North American Bison through education and outreach. For more information, contact Rachel Johnson at 701-252-8648 or collections@buffalomuseum.com.
On Sunday, November 29, 2020, for the fourth consecutive year, more than 1,400 museum stores representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 22 countries, and five continents will offer inspired shopping at museums and cultural institutions during Museum Store Sunday.
The Museum Store at the National Buffalo Museum is thrilled to participate in this signature annual initiative and join museum stores worldwide by offering quality gifts filled with inspiration and educational value to consumers, with all purchases supporting its parent institution and the artisans and craftspeople who create many of the gifts found in museum stores. The Museum Store will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We have been participating in Museum Store Sunday since 2018,” said Executive Director, Ilana Xinos. “It is a great event and we will be offering some amazing one-day-only discounts in our Museum and Online Stores. This is a great opportunity for Jamestown residents to find unique, quality items while shopping locally. If you can’t make it into the store, we have an online store that provides local pickup or shipping, as well as gift-wrapping options. Proceeds from our store sales are used to help further our mission of advocating for the restoration of the North American bison through education and outreach.”
Blue Anderson, President of the Museum Store Association Board of Directors and Director of Visitor Services for the Columbia River Maritime Museum, says, “This year it’s more important than ever to support local cultural institutions—many of which have been closed for months due to COVID-19 restrictions. On Museum Store Sunday, we encourage shoppers to ‘Be a Patron’ at their favorite museum stores to not only find inspiring, creative, and educational gifts for friends and family, but to also lend much needed support to these important venues. Whether online or in person, Museum Store Sunday is a wonderful opportunity for consumers around the world to shop local, support artisans and small suppliers, give back to the community, and find unique gifts for loved ones.”
During these uncertain times, shoppers can look forward to Museum Store Sunday as the global annual day to Be a Patron– and shop conscientiously and support museum stores and their missions worldwide. While there is only one Museum Store Sunday each year, everyone is encouraged to Be a Patron of museums and museum stores all year round.

ST. PAUL, Minn (AP) — Two Native American tribes in northern Minnesota are asking state regulators to stop the imminent construction of Enbridge Energy’s Line 3 crude oil pipeline replacement project. They say it increases the risk of coronavirus infections spreading. The Red Lake and White Earth Bands of Chippewa filed a motion for an expedited stay of the project with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission late Wednesday. They are arguing that the $2.6 billion project would put the tribes at higher risk of coronavirus infections if construction workers move into the area. The pipeline project took a step forward on Monday when it received a federal permit.
(AP) A North Dakota-based volunteer organization that helps farmers when they are injured or otherwise impaired says it has helped a number of Midwest farmers who were incapacitated by the coronavirus. Since 2005, Farm Rescue has helped more than 700 farm families that have been unable to plant, harvest or feed livestock due to injury, illness or natural disaster. Founder Bill Gross says some farmers apply for help using an online application while others are referred to the organization, which has more than 1,000 volunteers all over the U.S. Farm Rescue will stream a country music benefit concert on YouTube on Dec. 9.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Detroit man arrested last year when Bismarck police said they found more than 2,700 oxycodone pills in his possession has been sentenced to six years in federal prison. The Bismarck Tribune reports 30-year-old Deangelo Orlando was charged with drug possession and conspiracy when the June 2019 search of a vehicle by police revealed the pills. He was sentenced Monday, according to court records. Orlando was a passenger in a car driven by Whitney Bearstail, of Bismarck, who entered into a plea agreement in February. Bearstail was sentenced to three years of supervised release on drug possession and conspiracy charges.

NFL
UNDATED (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions encountered some rather rude guests on Thanksgiving Day.
Antonio Gibson ran for 115 yards and three touchdowns as Washington demolished the Cowboys, 41-16. Dallas trailed just 20-16 until Gibson ripped off scoring runs of 23 and 37 yards in the fourth quarter. His final TD came just seven seconds before Montez Sweat picked off Andy Dalton and returned it 15 yards for a score with 3:24 to play.
Alex Smith was 19 of 26 for 149 yards, one TD and an interception for Washington, which took over first place in the NFC East despite a 4-7 record.
The Cowboys accumulated just 60 yards rushing, with Ezekiel Elliott gaining 32 yards on 10 carries. Dalton completed 25 of his 35 passes for 215 yards and a TD for the 3-8 Cowboys.
In Detroit, Deshaun Watson threw for four touchdowns and the Texans improved to 3-1 since their bye week by outscoring the Lions, 41-25. Watson’s favorite target was Will Fuller, who had six receptions for 171 yards and two touchdowns for the 4-7 Texans.
Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt had a pick-6 in the first quarter. On Detroit’s next snap, Jonathan Williams fumbled and Houston took advantage with Watson’s 2-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Prosise to go ahead 13-6.
Watson was 17 of 25 for 318 yards and no interceptions. He faired better than Matthew Stafford, who was 28 of 42 for 295 yards and a TD.
Adrian Peterson had a pair of scoring runs for the Lions, who dropped to 4-7.
VIRUS OUTBREAK-NFL
Ravens’ Jackson among latest COVID-19 positives
UNDATED (AP) — Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple media outlets.
Last year’s NFL MVP is the biggest star to become infected by the virus.
The Baltimore Sun and ESPN both cite unidentified sources in reporting that Jackson was among four more Ravens players to test positive Thursday. Outside linebacker Pernell McPhee was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, joining running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins and defensive tackle Brandon Williams.
Baltimore was supposed to play the unbeaten Steelers Thursday night, but the game was postponed until Sunday. The latest round of positive tests could jeopardize the game being played this weekend.
In other virus-related NFL news:
— Larry Fitzgerald and fellow Arizona Cardinals receiver Trent Sherfield have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list three days ahead of their road game against the New England Patriots. The 37-year-old Fitzgerald is in his 17th NFL season and hasn’t missed a regular-season game since 2014. He’s started all 10 games this season and has 43 catches for 336 yards.
— The Browns have placed defensive end Porter Gustin on the COVID-19 list, further weakening a group already without star Myles Garrett. Gustin became the third Browns player to be put on the list in the past three days as Cleveland continues to be one of the NFL teams hit hardest by the virus. Gustin, Garrett, fullback Andy Janovich, linebacker Sione Takitaki and defensive end Joe Jackson will miss Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
— The Falcons worked virtually on Thanksgiving after two non-coaching members of the staff tested positive for COVID-19. The Falcons called off practice Thursday and halted all activities at their training center in suburban Flowery Branch, marking the third time this season the team has taken such a step. Positive tests forced the team to work virtually before an Oct. 18 game at Minnesota and a Nov. 8 game against Denver.
— Broncos No. 3 quarterback Jeff Driskel has been placed on the COVID-19 list. It’s not known whether it’s due to a virus infection or being in close contact with an infected individual.
NFL-INJURIES
— Packers reserve defensive lineman Montravius Adams is expected to miss the rest of the season because of a toe injury. The injury prevented Adams from playing Sunday in a 34-31 overtime loss at Indianapolis. Adams also missed the Packers’ season-opening victory at Minnesota with a toe injury, and coach Matt LaFleur said it’s the same toe that’s bothering the lineman now.
UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams have placed leading tackler Micah Kiser on injured reserve. The Rams’ starting middle linebacker will be sidelined for at least three weeks following Thursday’s move.
Coach Sean McVay says Kiser injured his knee late in the Rams’ 27-24 victory at Tampa Bay on Monday night. He has 77 tackles, along with three passes defensed and a forced fumble. The Rams host San Francisco on Sunday.
— Tua Tagovailoa’s (TOO’-ah tuhng-ah-vy-LOH’-ahz) sore thumb has improved, and Dolphins coach Brian Flores is expressing optimism his rookie quarterback will be able to play Sunday against the Jets. Tagovailoa hurt the thumb on his throwing hand in practice and was limited in practice Thursday for the second day in a row. Tagovailoa was sacked six times before being pulled in the fourth quarter of the Dolphins’ loss last week at Denver.
— Sam Darnold was a full participant at practice Thursday, putting the Jets quarterback on track to start Sunday against the Dolphins. Darnold missed the 0-10 Jets’ past two games with a shoulder injury, his second since October.
T25 BASKETBALL-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-SCHEDULE
UNDATED (AP) — You can chop another game off this weekend’s college football schedule.
No. 19 Southern California’s scheduled home game Saturday against unbeaten Colorado has been canceled due to positive COVID-19 tests for the Trojans. The Pac-12 said USC didn’t have the minimum number of scholarship players available at a specific position group. This is a result of at least two positive COVID-19 cases and the resulting isolation of additional players under contact tracing protocols.
Colorado immediately booked a replacement game against San Diego State in Boulder on Saturday afternoon. San Diego State had an opening after its game at Fresno State was canceled.
SOCCER-MARADONA-FUNERAL
Tens of thousands bid farewell Maradona in Argentina
BUENOS AIRES (AP) — Tens of thousands of fans have filed past the coffin of Diego Maradona, Argentina’s most iconic soccer star.
Thursday’s ceremonies at the Argentine presidential mansion mixed head-of-state-like honors with the chaos of a rowdy stadium. Fans singing soccer anthems formed a line more than 20 blocks long. Some clashed with police when officers tried to cut off the crowd as time for viewing drew short.
Maradona died on Wednesday of a heart attack in a house outside Buenos Aires where he had been recovering from a brain operation on Nov. 3.
TOKYO-TEST EVENTS
Tokyo Olympic organizers plan to host 18 test events
TOKYO (AP) — The Tokyo Olympics are getting a kickstart. Local organizers have announced a series of 18 test events set to start in March.
The Tokyo Olympics are to open on July 23, 2021, after being postponed eight months ago by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At least four of the test events will involve athletes from abroad. They include swimming, gymnastics, diving and volleyball. Officials say none of the test events will allow fans from abroad but some events will welcome an unspecified number of fans from Japan. The announcement came the same day that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government reported a one-day record of 570 new coronavirus infections in the capital.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College formalizes President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory even as he insisted such a decision would be a “mistake.” Trump spent his Thanksgiving renewing baseless claims that “massive fraud” and crooked officials in battleground states caused his election defeat even there is no evidence to support his claims. The fact that a sitting American president even had to address whether or not he would leave office after losing reelection underscores the extent to which Trump has smashed democratic conventions over the last three weeks.
NEW YORK (AP) — After months of slumping sales and businesses toppling into bankruptcy, Black Friday is offering a small beacon of hope. In normal times, Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year, drawing millions of shoppers eager to get started on their holiday spending. But these are not normal times. The economy is tanking and crowds are expected to be dramatically diminished as coronavirus cases spike and shoppers do more of their purchases online. Many retailers are beefing up their safety protocols, moving their doorbuster deals online and curbside pickup options as a last grasp at sales before the year ends and they head into the dark days of winter with the pandemic still raging.
NEW YORK (AP) — The pandemic is turning this into a holiday shopping season like no other. Toy companies are targeting stuck-at-home grown-ups with latte-smelling Play-Doh and Legos that turn into Warhols. People who added a puppy to their family during the pandemic, will see tons of gift options for their new furry friend. And with more people shopping online, stores are doing double duty as shipping centers to try to get gifts to doorsteps faster.
BEIJING (AP) — Global stock markets are mixed as questions about the effectiveness of one possible coronavirus vaccine weigh on investor optimism. London and Sydney declined while Shanghai, Frankfurt and Hong Kong gained. Investors have been encouraged by reports of progress toward a possible coronavirus vaccine. But they were uneasy after researchers questioned data that showed a candidate from the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca was 70% effective. Investors also are dismayed that U.S. states and European governments are re-imposing controls on business and travel as infection rates surge.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s spy agency has told lawmakers that North Korea executed at least two people, banned fishing at sea and locked down its capital as part of frantic anti-coronavirus steps. The lawmakers cited the National Intelligence Service as saying that North Korea also ordered diplomats overseas to refrain from any acts that could provoke the United States because it is worried about President-elect Joe Biden’s expected new approach toward the North. One lawmaker cited the agency as saying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is displaying excessive anger and taking irrational measures over the pandemic and its economic impact.
DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government’s road safety agency is investigating complaints that front suspensions can fail on nearly 115,000 Tesla electric vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has 43 complaints that linkages near the ball joints can fail, allowing contact between the tire and wheel liner. The probe announced Friday covers 2015 through 2017 Model S sedans and 2016 through 2017 Model X SUVs. The agency says 32 owners complained of failures at low speeds, but 11 said the links failed on roads while traveling above 10 mph, including four at highway speeds. The probe could lead to a recall. A message was left seeking comment from Tesla.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Hopes of families for a quick release for six American oil executives detained in Venezuela for three years over an alleged corruption scheme have evaporated, with a judge finding them all guilty and quickly sentencing them to prison. Attorneys and relatives of the so-called Citgo 6 said the men were wrongly convicted Thursday. The judge in Caracas sentenced the defendants to prison for more than eight years each. The so-called Citgo 6 had been lured to Venezuela for a business meeting and arrested. They are employees of the Houston-based Citgo refining company, which is owned by Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA. The case plays out amid broken relations between Caracas and Washington.
TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese spacecraft is nearing Earth after a yearlong journey home from a distant asteroid with soil samples and data that could provide clues to the origins of the solar system. The Hayabusa2 spacecraft left the asteroid Ryugu, about 300 million kilometers (180 million miles) from Earth, a year ago and is expected to reach Earth and drop a capsule containing the precious samples on Dec. 6. Scientists at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency believe the samples, especially those taken from under the asteroid’s surface, contain valuable data unaffected by space radiation and other environmental factors.
