Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called to a garage/doghouse fire, Weds at 8:12 a.m. at 320 15th Street SW.  The fire was reported by a passer-by.

Jamestown  (JPS)  Jamestown Public School District will not have school on Friday, November 12.  With nearly 100 student-athletes earning opportunities for regional/state competition on Friday, this results in 16 total coaches and a large number of parents on staff who, understandably, want to support their children in these events.  When factoring in activities, other approved leaves, an already limited pool of substitute teachers, and a high volume of students planning to attend events to support their classmates, the district believes the best course of action is to cancel school on Friday, November 12.

It was also announced that   Jamestown Public Schools will be closed on Veterans Day, November 11, 2021.

The North Dakota Department of Health dashboard is updated daily by 11 am and includes cases reported through the previous day.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Republican-led House has endorsed a new legislative map that creates three new districts in the state’s fastest-growing areas but erases an equal amount in population-lean rural regions. Representatives voted 73-18 on Tuesday to approve the new map that also separates House districts on two American Indian reservations in the state. It’s a move tribal leaders believe will increase the odds for electing their own members to the Legislature. Several GOP House lawmakers argued against the split districts on reservations, saying it was unfair and not needed. Backers said the state faced a federal lawsuit if the split districts were not included.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal authorities say five people are accused in a large-scale drug trafficking operation that brought more than 350 pounds of methamphetamine to two American Indian reservations in North Dakota in the last three years. A grand jury indicted 25-year-old Uzziel Garcia, of Arizona; 57-year-old Allan Widmayer, of Minot; 50-year-old Corey Baker, of Sheyenne; 40-year-old Nathan Smith, of Fort Totten; and 36-year-old Charlsie Walking Elk, of Tokio. The group is accused of conspiring to move the drugs to North Dakota for distribution primarily on the Spirit Lake and Turtle Mountain reservations. Authorities say Baker had allegedly received up to 3 pounds of meth per month from Widmayer and Garcia since 2018.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The father of a missing Bismarck High School senior is offering a reward for information that helps authorities find his son. Darius Hurdle, of Minneapolis, says the reward of $5,000 to $10,000 would be distributed after 18-year-old Chase Hurdle is found. Chase Hurdle has had amnesia issues and also went missing in July. He couldn’t remember his name, and police took him to a local hospital. The Bismarck Tribune reports that Chase was last seen the morning of Nov. 2 on foot near Memorial Bridge. Authorities issued a Silver Alert for him Nov. 4, alerting the public to his disappearance.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo woman has been sentenced to serve seven years in prison for fatally stabbing her boyfriend. Thirty-four-year-old Terin Stately had previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter in an agreement with prosecutors after she was initially charged with murder. Stately told the judge in Cass County District Court Monday that she did not intend to kill 27-year-old Keanen Poitra at their Fargo apartment in May 2020 and that the stabbing was the result of ongoing drug use and domestic abuse. Stately told investigators that she and Poitra had argued about him seeing other women. She said she grabbed a steak knife to keep Poitra away from her. The stab wound severed an artery, causing Poitra’s death.

UJ Soccer.

Jamestowm  (UJ) The No. 22 University of Jamestown women’s soccer team advanced to the GPAC postseason tournament final, defeating Morningside (Iowa) University 3-1 Tuesday night at the Jimmie Turf Field.

UJ, the tournament’s top seed, improves to 18-0-1 overall and will host second seed Briar Cliff (Iowa) Friday. The Chargers (14-2-1) won the other semifinal matchup Tuesday, defeating Hastings (Neb.) by a score of 4-1.

The fifth-seeded Mustangs looked to pull off their second straight road upset in the tournament after taking down fourth seed Midland (Neb.) 3-0 in the quarterfinals. However, the Jimmies put the pressure on with the first goal of the match.

In the 15th minute, Claire Struble (SR/Murrieta, Calif.) dribbled into the left side of the 18-yard box, turned a defender, and sent a left-footed pass towards Cassandra Diaz (JR/Montebello, Calif.). Diaz and a Mustang defender both went for the ball, but Diaz was able to get a touch over to Penelope Hoppe (SR/Temecula, Calif.) at the top of the goal box. Hoppe got a clear shot and took advantage, making it 1-0 Jamestown.

Morningside got its first shot of the match a little over a minute later, an Ebba Torgner attempt saved by UJ keeper Alex Nowka (JR/Anchorage, Alaska). The Jimmies nearly took a 2-0 lead in the 32nd minute, but Kamryn Fiscus (JR/Yakima, Wash.)’s shot caromed off the crossbar back into play.

Diaz doubled the Jamestown lead 21 seconds into the second half with a deft back heel kick to beat Mustang keeper Sarah Finn. Hoppe was dribbling across the top of the goal box but Finn deflected the ball right to Diaz, who took a quick look over her shoulder and flicked the ball into the net.

The Jimmies took a three-goal lead in the 63rd, capitalizing on defensive pressure put on by Gabby Sarkis (SO/Campbelltown, Sydney, Australia). Approximately 35 yards from goal, Sarkis forced a Mustang defender into a back pass, but Diaz cut in from 25 yards out and received the ball, headed towards her left, then reversed field to get off a right-footed strike high above Finn into the back of the net.

Morningside got on the board in the 66th minute as a ball was played deep from the back line into the Mustang offensive zone. The ball took a tricky hop by a Jimmie defender, and as Nowka came out to knock the ball away, Ellie Gengler found a clear opening to beat Nowka and make it 3-1.

UJ conceded just one more shot on goal in the 67th minute, and kept the Mustangs from building any momentum after Gengler’s goal.

Nowka ended with six saves in the match. Shots were 13-10 in favor of Jamestown, and shots on goal were even at seven.

Jokic suspended, Morris, Butler fined for altercation

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has doled out punishment following an altercation at the end of the Denver Nuggets’ win over Miami on Monday.

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (nih-KOH’-lah YOH’-kihch) has been suspended one game for shoving Markieff Morris in the back. That means Jokic won’t play on Wednesday when the Nuggets host Indiana.

Morris was fined $50,000 for his role in the mess, and Heat forward Jimmy Butler drew a $30,000 fine “for attempting to escalate the altercation and failing to comply with an NBA Security interview .”

Morris won’t be playing on Wednesday, either. The Heat said he has a neck injury, diagnosed as whiplash, and has been ruled out from Miami’s matchup at the Lakers.

Aaron Rodgers stands by his comments

UNDATED (AP) — Despite being under pressure from all sides, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he stands behind the comments he made last week about why he didn’t get vaccinated for COVID-19.

But Rodgers does acknowledge misleading some people about his status before testing positive.

Rodgers spoke Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” on YouTube and SiriusXM, four days after discussing on the same outlet his reasons for avoiding a vaccine. Rodgers tested positive last Wednesday.

In other NFL news:

— Odell Beckham Jr. cleared NFL waivers without being claimed Tuesday and can now sign as a free agent with any team. Beckham was let go by the Browns on Monday, closing the book on his 2 1/2 seasons with the club. None of the other 31 wanted to pick up the remaining $7.25 million he’s owed this season.

Price says substance abuse led him to assistance program

UNDATED (AP) — Canadiens goaltender Carey Price says he voluntarily entered the NHL’s player assistance program more than a month ago due to substance use.

Price says he had let himself get to a very dark place and he didn’t have the tools to cope with the struggle.

Price rejoined the Canadiens on Sunday, but has not begun to practice. Instead, he has met with the team’s athletic trainers to come up with a plan to get back into shape after having knee surgery on July 22, after leading Montreal to the Stanley Cup final.
