Jamestown (CSi) The 42nd Annual 2021 Runnin O’ The Green fundraiser through Jamestown on April 17 had 975 Runners.
Larry Knoblich along with the Jamestown Elks Club reorganized this year’s event, in keeping with COVID-19 safety in mind.
Larry says the 975 runners compares to an average of 1,000 to 1,500 runners in past years when the event was held closer to St. Patrick’s Day, and before the COVID-19 pandemic issue, may have lessened the amount of participants this year.
He says so far, with three pubs to yet report their numbers, $27,000 has been raised.
He added that each year the first $10,000 raised goes to Jamestown…and area… cancer patients, and $10,000 is earmarked for the Elks Camp Grassick. He says the goal is to donate $20,000 to Camp Grassick.
Larry pointed out that since 2009, 184 checks have been given to cancer patients.
Larry will have more dollar amounts and the final totals when all pubs have reported.
He has set March 19, 2022, as the next Runnin O’ the green in Jamestown, closer to St. Paddy’s Day, on March 17. He said although earlier next year, the date is more traditional to the annual event, being held. He added that even though to be held in March, the weather can be nice then as well.
Previously…
Jamestowm (CSi) Organizer, Larry Knoblich says, more participants than anticipated ran and walked in the 2021 Runnin O’ the Green, Saturday in Jamestown, estimated at around one-thousand, by Jamestown Police.
That’s compared to 1,500 the last time the run was held in 2019.
Several arrests were made, ranging from minor incidents to more serious ones.
More information is forthcoming.
The annual fundraising event gives donations to the Elk’s Camp Grassick and local cancer patients.
This year’s run was postponed about a month due to the COVID-19 pandemic and making changes for safety precautions.
It was decided in 2020 to cancel the event after postponements out of concerns with growing positive COVID-19 cases in line with mitigation efforts being stepped up, and before vaccines became available.

Bismarck (CSi) The week of April 26th has been designated, “Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week,” for the entire state of North Dakota. This annual event is intended to remind the public of the dangers associated with severe summer weather including lightning, high winds, large hail, flash floods and tornadoes. All of which, can cause severe property damage, personal injury, and even death.
Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist says, as part of the awareness week activities, Stutsman County will conduct a tornado exercise that will begin at about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, April 28th. The exercise will simulate what occurs locally when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service.
The tornado exercise will be testing internal notification procedures county-wide along with siren activation capabilities. Sirens will be activated in many area communities including the Cities of Jamestown, Buchanan, Cleveland, Medina and Streeter. In most communities, sirens will be activated for approximately 3 minutes.
Because the National Weather Service will not directly be involved with the exercise, the simulated warning will not be broadcast through the National Weather Service all-hazards weather radio system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) for local AM/FM radio stations and cable television providers will not be activated. The Stutsman Alert’s notification system powered by Everbridge will also not be activated for this test.
The most common reason a community’s warning sirens are activated is to warn the public of a possible tornado. However, sirens could also be activated to alert the public of other types of events that could be a danger to the community.

(CVHD) Central Valley Health District this week will have COVID-19 Testing at the Jamestown Civic Center in April from 11-a.m. to 12 noon, at the Jamestown Civic Center, April 28, 30, using the Rapid Testing, BinaxNow.
By screening with rapid antigen tests, event attendees will be able to receive their test results within 15 minutes via text notification. The test also is less invasive than a PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test in that it uses a nasal swab to collect a sample from the lower part of the nostril.
If a person tests positive, they should isolate at home immediately and a case investigator will be in touch with them within 24 hours. If the screening yields a negative result, individuals should continue to monitor for symptoms.
Interested individuals should fill out an online survey at testreg.nd.gov for faster registration.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Grand Forks police say they’re investigating a stabbing in a park near an elementary school. Officers were called to University Park near West Elementary School about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. They found a male middle school student had been stabbed at least once. The victim told police a boy he knows was the perpetrator. Police say the suspect was found at a nearby home. The victim was transported to Altru hospital by ambulance. His condition is not know. The investigation is ongoing.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge faced with a motion on whether the Dakota Access pipeline north of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation should be shut down during an environmental review is giving the Biden administration another chance to weigh in on the issue. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg held a hearing earlier this month to give the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers an opportunity to explain whether oil should continue to flow during its study. The Corps instead told the judge it wasn’t sure if it should be shut down. Boasberg said in a one sentence order filed late Monday that the Corps has until May 3 to tell him when it expects the environmental review to be completed and give “its position, if it has one,” on whether the pipeline should be shut down.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s attorney general says a bill that would give a lawmakers more oversight on how federal funding is spent between legislation sessions may not survive a court challenge. North Dakota’s Legislature has signaled it would override the Gov. Doug Burgum’s veto of the bill that he said “clearly violates the separation of powers doctrine.” Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the bill “would be difficult to defend from a constitutional aspect.” Stenehjem’s comments came as the Legislature signaled it would override the governor’s veto. The move marks an longstanding fight between the governor and the Legislature over legislative spending authority.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has expanded its joint border vaccination program with Canada to include truck drivers from Saskatchewan who are transporting goods to and from the United States. North Dakota Burgum and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe agreed to work together on vaccinating up to 2,000 residents from the Canadian province. A similar program with Manitoba was announced last week. The Interstate 29 rest area near Drayton in northeastern North Dakota is serving as the vaccination site for drivers from both Saskatchewan and Manitoba, An additional vaccination site has been approved near the Saskatchewan border crossing at North Portal. The cost of the program will be covered by the U.S. government.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (UJ) — The top-ranked University of Jamestown women’s volleyball team survived its opening pool play match at the NAIA Womens’ Volleyball National Championship Tuesday morning, defeating No. 17 Viterbo (Wis.) University in five sets. Set scores were 25-23, 19-25, 19-25, 25-15, and 15-13.
Jamestown, now 28-1 overall, closes out pool play Wednesday against University of Providence (Mont.) at 10:30 a.m.
Despite being narrowly outhit .220-.216 in the first set, the Jimmies took a 25-23 victory in set one. Taylor Sabinash (JR/Kensal, N.D.) had five kills to lead the offense with Kalli Hegerle (JR/West Fargo, N.D.) adding three kills while Nicole Schmitz (FR/Oakes, N.D.) and Corina Huff (SR/Breezy Point, Minn.) each had two. Viterbo had leads of 20-19 and 21-20 before UJ came back to pull ahead 22-21. A Viterbo kill tied the set, but Hegerle and Sabinash had back-to-back kills to send UJ to set point. An attack error by the Jimmies made it 24-23, but Anna Holen (JR/LaMoure, N.D.)’s kill ended the set.
Viterbo trailed 5-3 in set two but rattled off six straight points to lead 9-5. The Jimmies cut the lead to 12-9, but the V-Hawks gradually built the lead to seven. A Sabinash kill made it 21-18 but Viterbo closed out the set with four of the last five points.
Jamestown led 6-5 in set three only to have the V-Hawks score five straight to make it 10-6. A Schmitz kill ended the rally, and UJ got within a point at 13-12 after a Viterbo service error. Another run of four straight from the V-Hawks made it 17-12, and the Jimmies were no closer than four points the rest of the way.
UJ had a dominating fourth set on both sides of the net, hitting .457 with just one error on 35 attempts while holding Viterbo to a .116 hitting percentage. Hegerle posted eight kills and Holen three as the Jimmies ran off three or more straight points on three different times in the set. Hegerle, Sabinash, Huff, and Jayla Ritter (JR/Forest Lake, Minn.) all had two block assists and Sydney Ellingson (SR/Langdon, N.D.) had six digs.
In the decisive fifth set, Jamestown led 10-6 before Viterbo rallied to tie. Huff and Hegerle put the Jimmies ahead by a pair, then the V-Hawks scored two straight to tie again. Once more, Huff and Hegerle struck to give UJ a 14-12 lead, and on match point, a ball-handling error gave Viterbo another chance. However, the ensuing serve was in the net, and the Jimmies won 15-12.
Hegerle came back from rolling an ankle on the second point of the match and posted a career-high 23 kills, hitting .512 with just one error. Huff and Sabinash both had 10 kills while Ritter and Holen each had nine.
Jackie Meiklejohn (JR/Dickey, N.D.) passed out 31 assists, while Megan Gaffaney (JR/Jamestown, N.D.) had a double-double of 28 assists and 11 digs. Ellingson recorded a team-high 29 digs and Holen had 18. Ritter had seven total blocks, followed by Hegerle with three.
A win over Providence Wednesday would send Jamestown to the quarterfinals, which begin on Thursday.
The next Jimmies game will be Wednesday April 28, at 10:30-a.m., at the Tyson Events Center vs. the University of Providence.
