Valley City (VCPS) The Valley City Public School Board will discuss whether they should pursue a school bond referendum during their next meeting on Monday, November 15th at 5:30pm in the school district office board meeting room.
The school district conducted a community survey last month to determine which direction the district should pursue following their presentations on “Exploring the Future of School Facilities.”
The school district engaged School Perceptions to conduct the survey. Rob DeMeuse of School Perceptions believes a referendum would not pass. DeMeuse suggested the school district could spread out the cost of this project through future construction phases.
The survey, results found that those 56 and older, who are not staff members or parents of students are opposed to a proposed referendum.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has signed the legislative redistricting bill that was overwhelmingly approved by the state Legislature this week. Redistricting was among the main issues before the Republican-controlled Legislature in its special session which convened on Monday. The new map, which won final Senate approval Wednesday, reflects a continued loss of political clout in rural areas due to population shifts in the past decade. Though the map maintains 47 legislative districts, it creates three new districts in the state’s fastest-growing areas but erases an equal amount in population-lean rural regions.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Republican-controlled Legislature has approved a new legislative map that reflects a continued loss of political clout in rural areas due to population shifts in the past decade. Though the map maintains 47 legislative districts, it creates three new districts in the state’s fastest-growing areas but erases an equal amount in population-lean rural regions. The new map also separates House districts on two American Indian reservations in the state, a move tribal leaders believe will increase the odds for electing their own members to the Legislature. The redistricting plan was drafted by a GOP-controlled committee of lawmakers.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota House representatives have passed a bill that bans government entities, below the federal level, from ordering coronavirus vaccine mandates. The bill passed late Thursday and headed for the Senate Friday also expands exceptions for employees to opt-out of a COVID-19 vaccine, including allowing employees to regularly test for COVID-19, prove they have antibodies built up or claim medical, religious or philosophical exemptions. Companies would still be allowed to install their own vaccine mandates. The bill also says state and local government entities can’t require individuals to disclose their vaccination or antibody status unless they are incarcerated or receiving care at the state hospital or a public health unit.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican Gov. Doug Burgum’s push to use some of the state treasury’s surpluses to offset income taxes appears certain to win approval, despite initial opposition from legislative leaders in his own party. Representatives in the GOP-controlled House unanimously approved a bill Thursday that would provide a $350 income tax credit for each North Dakota resident filing a return for 2021 and 2022. During his State of the State address at the special session’s opening Monday, Burgum renewed his call for the legislature to provide income tax relief. Legislative leaders say the idea now appears to be popular.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The storm system bringing snow to North Dakota late this week could help improve long-term drought conditions that persist in the state. Drought conditions that brought hardships for ranchers and farmers this summer has made marked improvement. In eastern North Dakota in recent weeks much of the region no longer listed in any of the four drought categories.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A pilot program to help reduce bison at Grand Canyon National Park by shooting them has wrapped up with four of the animals killed. More than 45,000 people applied this spring in a lottery for 12 spots to help cull the herd and make the bison uncomfortable at the park. Up to 500 bison are roaming the far northern reaches of the park. Officials say the bison are trampling resources and spoiling the water. The park also captured 36 bison and sent them to Native American tribes in Oklahoma and Nebraska. Critics had urged the park to consider relocating the animals targeted for lethal removal.

Jamestown (UJ) Midwest College Hockey (“MCH”) announces that the University of Jamestown has been admitted as a member of the MCH beginning with the 2022-2023 season.
Jamestown currently has two teams that play in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (“ACHA”), one at the Division 1 level and another at the Division 2 level. Jamestown is currently one of five independent teams in ACHA D1 and has proven to be one of the top teams in ACHA D1 since the Jimmies began playing in the 2016-2017 season.
With the recent announcement that Maryville University would depart the MCH at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 season, the MCH coaches unanimously approved the addition of Jamestown as a MCH member institution. Jamestown will be joining five MCH charter member teams starting with the 2022-2023 season: Illinois State University (Normal, Ill.), McKendree University (Lebanon, Ill.), Midland University (Fremont, Neb.), Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, Ill.), and Waldorf University (Forest City, Iowa).
“This is a great step forward for our hockey program,” said University of Jamestown Athletics Director Sean Johnson. “It’s a great opportunity for our student-athletes to receive recognition and have the opportunity to play for a conference championship.”
“We are grateful to become the newest member of the MCH,” said University of Jamestown head coach Dean Stork. “Being part of Midwest College Hockey is a step forward for our program and really helps us put together a schedule that benefits our
student-athletes.”
All MCH teams are expected to play a 20-game regular season conference schedule and the MCH Regular Season Champion will be determined on a points basis. The MCH Playoff Tournament is held at the conclusion of the MCH regular season in late February/early March. The MCH Playoff Tournament format will see two games on Day 1 (3 vs 6, 4 vs 5), two games on Day 2 (1 vs lowest seeded Day 1 winner, 2 vs highest
seeded Day 1 winner) and a Championship game on Day 3.

Dolphins stun Ravens
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have their first winning streak of the season following their best win of the year.
Tua Tagovailoa (TOO’-ah tuhng-ah-vy-LOH’-ah) came off the bench and capped his night with a 1-yard sneak for a score with 2:19 left to secure the Dolphins’ 22-10 victory over Baltimore.

Cam Newton returns to Carolina
UNDATED (AP) — Cam Newton is a Carolina Panther again after working out a contract for the rest of the season.
Newton returns to a franchise that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2011 and later cut him prior to the 2020 season after losing eight straight games.

In other NFL news:
— Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson says he’s ready to return this weekend after missing the team’s past three games following surgery on the middle finger on his throwing hand. Wilson was injured when his hand hit the helmet of a Rams player during a game last month. The contact dislocated Wilson’s finger, caused a tendon injury, and resulted in a pair of fractures.
— Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a one-year deal with the Rams. The Browns released Beckham on Monday midway through his third season in Cleveland. Beckham elected to join NFL yards passing leader Matthew Stafford in one of the league’s most productive passing offenses.
— The Browns remain hopeful star running back Nick Chubb will be able to play this week despite testing positive for COVID-19. Chubb rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns last week at Cincinnati. He was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday along with rookie running back/punt returner Demetric Felton.
— Dallas defensive end Randy Gregory will miss multiple weeks after straining a calf in practice. Coach Mike McCarthy says no decision had been made on Gregory being placed on injured reserve.
— Henry Ruggs’ lawyers are telling a judge they found a witness who says firefighters were slow to extinguish a vehicle fire sparked by a deadly crash that authorities blame on the former Raiders wide receiver. Prosecutors allege Ruggs was driving drunk at speeds up to 156 mph before the crash in Las Vegas, killing another driver. The Raiders immediately released Ruggs, who’s under house arrest with strict conditions.

In world and national news…
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has sent paratroopers to Belarus in a show of support for its ally amid the tensions over an influx of migrants on the Belarusian border with Poland. The Russian Defense Ministry said that as part of joint war games Russian paratroopers on Friday will parachute from heavylift Il-76 transport planes in Belarus’ Grodno region that borders Poland. The Belarusian military said the exercise involving a battalion of Russian paratroopers was intended to test the readiness of the allies’ rapid response forces due to an “increase of military activities near the Belarusian border.”
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Turkey’s Civil Aviation Authority says the country is halting airline ticket sales to Iraqi, Syrian and Yemeni citizens wanting to travel to Belarus, which in recent months became a route for migrants and refugees to try to enter the European Union. EU leaders have put increasing pressure on airlines to stop bringing people from the Middle East to Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Thousands of asylum-seekers have crossed illegally into EU member nations Poland, Lithuania and Latvia since the summer, though many thousands have also been kept from entering or pushed back. Belarusian airline Belavia said it also would not transport citizens of Iraq, Syria and Yemen on its Istanbul-Minsk flights starting Friday.
(AP) Johnson & Johnson is splitting into two companies, separating the division that sells Band-Aids and Listerine, from its medical device and prescription drug business. The company said Friday that the division selling prescription drugs and medical devices will keep Johnson & Johnson as its name. The new consumer health company will house brands including Neutrogena, Aveeno, Tylenol, Listerine, Johnson’s, and Band-Aid. A name was not disclosed for the new company. Details are sparse, but the company expect the split to occur in the next two years.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban spokesman says a bomb exploded in a mosque during Friday prayers in a town outside the eastern Afghanistan city of Jalalabad, wounding at least 15 people. Qari Hanif, the government spokesman for Nangarhar Province, said the bomb appeared to have been planted in the mosque in the town of Traili. It was the third major mosque bombing in five weeks in Afghanistan, following attacks on two mosques on two successive Fridays last month. The Islamic State group has been waging a campaign of violence against Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers, who have vowed to crush the militant threat.
(AP) Shares have advanced in Europe and Asia after Wall Street benchmarks managed to close mostly higher. Stocks gained in Paris, Frankfurt and Tokyo. In China, a major Communist Party meeting ended, as expected, with a resolution setting the stage for President Xi Jinping to remain top leader for life. The Chinese economy has been slowing after bouncing back from a pandemic downturn, but the record $139.1 billion spent by Chinese shoppers during this year’s annual Nov. 11 Singles’ Day shopping extravaganza suggested potential for resilient retail demand. The S&P 500 is still on track for its first weekly loss in six weeks after eking out a gain of under 0.1% on Thursday.
