Jamestown (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol, reports one person died in a one vehicle rollover Tuesday morning about six mile north of Jamestown about 7:30, on Highway 20 North, at five mile curve. The Jamestown Rescue Squad was called to the scene along with Jamestown Ambulance Service.

The accident occurred at the second curve on the north side, when the female SUV operator lost control of the vehicle, on a frost covered road surface.

The 1998 Dodge Durango went down an embankment hit an approach a landed in a field.

The driver of the vehicle was not wearing a seatbelt, the female passenger of the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt.

Both occupants were transported to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment, the driver died at the hospital.

Names have not yet been released.

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown City Engineer, Reed Schwartzkoph says, weather permitting, as early as Monday, November 30, 2015, the gates on the Ice House Dam will be “opened” to allow water levels in the rivers to drop to facilitate some City Storm Water Utility Inspections, Repairs and River Bank Survey work. Once these activities are finished, within the following 2 to 4 weeks, the gates will again be “closed” if the weather permits, allowing the water levels in the river to raise.

Along with the forecasted warmer than normal temperatures over the winter, these adjustments to the river levels may affect ice thicknesses and ice integrity/stability as the winter progresses.

The public is therefore advised to exercise caution around the rivers this winter and avoid allowing people and animals on the river ice for the duration of the winter.

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Downtown Association President, Lynn Lambrecht says due to some issues with getting lights on the Community Christmas Tree this year, the ceremony that was planned was cancelled, due to the unavailability of the fire department’s ladder truck for decorating.

However, Northern Tree Service, placed the lights Tuesday afternoon and the switch was flipped.

She adds, since the lights have already been turned on and in the interest of people getting ready for the holiday and spending time with family, JDA Ambassador Charlie Kourajian and Lynn decided to forego the actual ceremony.

The JDA apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Jamestown (CSi) The 25th annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown is again scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2015 from 11-a.m. to 1-p.m.

The morning church service is at 10-a.m.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSI Cable 2, Pastor Tom Eckstine said over 600 people were served, or received a home delivered meal, a full-course dinner of turkey, potatoes, gravy and all the trimmings last year.

He added that drivers are still welcome to volunteer. To do that, or anyone wishing a home delivered meal, or ride to the church, for the meal or the 10-a.m. Service, may call 701-252-2819

He pointed out that the University of Jamestown helps to prepare the 24 turkeys, donating the kitchen space, with volunteers cooking the turkeys.

Other food items are donated. It takes a lot of volunteers to cook, serve and deliver all those meals.

The meal consists of turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and dessert.

The dinner was the dream of the late Fritz Buegel, who ran the Pantry Café at the time, and the dinner started out small and has grown to what it is today. People attend for a variety of reasons: homelessness, loneliness, physically disabled and just don’t want to cook.

(CSi) The Annual Turkey Trot 5K Fun Run/Walk in Jamestown is set for Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2015, at 8:30-a.m., starting at Cashwise Foods in Jamestown.

Last year, over 40 runners/walkers braved the minus 23 degree cold and slippery streets. Yes it was cold, -20 degrees and yes they had fun. Of the 80 runners signed up, 47 turned out to brave the cold. Big smiles at the finish line.

Jamestown (CSi) As Jamestown Regional Medical Center gears up to offer the Jamestown community another round of the annual New Year, New You community wellness challenge, we would like to share the outstanding results from our 2015 NYNY challenge.

An impressive 41% were first-time participants with 94% planning to participate in future NYNY events. Each of the 15 healthy lifestyle behaviors discussed showed improvement from the pre-survey data to the post-survey data. 52% of the participants had a weight loss goal and a whopping 445.4 pounds were lost over the 8 week challenge! It was identified that busy work schedules (62.04%) and time demands of family members (42.34%) are the top obstacles to maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

In the 2015 challenge, 83% were aware of a healthy blood pressure, 73% were aware of a healthy cholesterol reading, and 60% were aware of a healthy blood glucose reading. Less than 30% of participants were aware of an appropriate BMI and less than 60% were aware of the minimum physical activity recommendations for the general public. On a positive note, the percent of participants who reached the minimum physical activity recommendation increased from 34% pre-challenge to 72% post-challenge.

Many other great comparison improvements were identified through the challenge’s surveys. JRMC is very pleased with participant successes:

General health rating of Very Good or Excellent increased from 34% to 55%

Weekly focuses will include topics such as quality time, gratitude, affirmations, kindness, relaxation, generosity.

Past mainstays of the annual NYNY challenge will be the underlying drivers of daily lifestyle choices to include physical activity, heart healthy nutrition, sleep, and hydration. We will return to highlighting an aspect of the American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 and the importance of knowing your health numbers.

Jamestown (CSi) United Blood Services announces a community blood drive to stock hospital shelves for this year’s flu season. During the fall and winter flu season, we encourage healthy people to keep their donation appointments since many regular donors find themselves fighting the flu bug themselves.

If you are feeling well, we encourage you to donate at the JRMC community blood drive. This is also a perfect time of year for “first time donors” to help patients who are counting on a volunteer like you to provide the lifesaving blood that they need. Your donation will make a difference for those who are fighting cancer, having a surgery, or facing an emergency.

The next opportunity to donate blood in your community will be on December 1^st at Jamestown Regional Medical Center from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Contact Katie Mittleider at (701) 952-4814 to make an appointment.

If you have received the flu shot there’s no impact on your ability to donate blood, you can receive the shot and donate blood that same day.

To save time, donors can now fill out their Health History Questionnaire online at www.unitedbloodservices.org the day of their donation. To donate blood, volunteers must be at least 16 years old (16 year old donors need a minor donor permit which is available online) and be in good health.

Carrington (CSi) Sheriff Ian Mattice, is warning Foster County residents of a scam making the rounds involving the department.

He says a male individual is calling residents and falsely representing himself as a Foster County Deputy. The male says that there are current warrants out for people and that if they pay him the bond money, the department will not have to come and get them.

Mattice says this is a scam because Sheriff Office’s doesn’t handle with warrants in that manner.

The caller is identifying themselves as Deputy Mark Hallowell or Captain Halloway.

Anyone receive a call similar to that should hang up and contact the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office immediately.

The Foster County Sheriff’s Department may also be contacted for a futher explanation.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says he doesn’t favor a proposal that would limit law enforcement authorities from using college students as confidential informants in drug-related investigations.

     Stenehjem’s remarks to KFGO-AM come over a year after the death of a North Dakota college student who was working for a drug task force as a confidential informant a few months before he died. The body of 20-year-old Andrew Sadek was found June 2014 in the Red River with a gunshot wound to the head.

     His mother, Tammy Sadek, maintains the task force pressured her son to work with them and that he was murdered. She is proposing the measure banning college students as informants.

     Stenehjem says a better option may be for authorities to have a uniform policy and fully explain informants how they would be used in investigations.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Developers of a multimillion-dollar housing and retail complex in downtown Bismarck say they’re brokering a deal with a hotel chain and restaurant.

     The names of the chains aren’t being released until January. Architect Jeff Ubl says developers are awaiting chain approval and brand confirmation for the hotel.

     The public-private partnership dubbed FiveSouth is proposed in the area of the Bismarck Event Center and Kirkwood Mall.

     City commissioners in September approved moving forward with a tax increment finance district to fund $35 million in public infrastructure including two new parking ramps.

     Investments in the mixed-use development could total $350 million.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – City commissioners in Williston have set a July 1 deadline for the elimination of oil field crew camps within city limits, but the issue might not be resolved.

    Commissioners voted 3-2 Tuesday to approve an ordinance setting the deadline, after debate about its impact on the energy industry. However, Mayor Howard Klug promised an amendment that could allow some temporary housing.

     Some believe crew camps are unsightly and can increase crime. They also say construction of new apartments and hotels has caught up with population growth.

     Oil company officials say hotel rooms and apartments in Williston are costly, and they still need temporary housing for seasonal workers.

     Assistant City Attorney Jordon Evert says some crew camp operators have filed written protests against the ordinance.

In world and national news…

PARIS (AP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel (AHN’-geh-lah MEHR’-kuhl) says her country will do more in the fight against the Islamic State group. She’s in Paris, where she met Wednesday with President Francois Hollande (frahn-SWAH’ oh-LAWND’) and visited a square that’s become a tribute site for the victims of the attacks earlier this month. Germany currently provides weapons and training for Kurds fighting against IS in Iraq. Hollande said it would be a “very good signal” if Germany went further in Iraq and Syria against the militants.

     MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says the Obama administration is making the United States less safe instead of more secure. Traveling with his wife and children, Rubio told supporters in South Carolina Wednesday that the U.S. must confront groups like the Islamic State directly and build a coalition of support. Rubio also says President Barack Obama’s insistence on a deal with Iran that includes sanctions relief will ultimately put more weapons in that country’s hands.

     CHICAGO (AP) – Police in Chicago say the protests that followed the release of a video showing a fatal shooting of a black teen by a police officer have been largely peaceful. But five people were arrested overnight, on charges including resisting arrest and hitting a police officer. The protests broke out after the release of a dash-cam video showing the shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald last year by officer Jason Van Dyke, who is now facing a murder charge.

     NEW YORK (AP) – A New York court has been hearing arguments Wednesday over the legality of the country’s two biggest daily fantasy sports companies. More than 100 lawyers, observers and reporters appeared at the hearing in Manhattan. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has sought to stop DraftKings and FanDuel from operating in the state. He says the companies are operating illegal gambling businesses in violation of state laws. Lawyers for the companies say the contests are games of skill, and permissible under the law.

     LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Motion Picture Association of America says the upcoming Star Wars movie may not be entirely suitable for young kids. The organization today gave a PG-13 rating to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” because of sci-fi action violence. The designation tells parents that some scenes might be inappropriate for those younger than 13 but doesn’t restrict attendance. The film, directed by J.J. Abrams, comes out Dec. 18.
