\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi) Monday at approximately 5:10pm, a car slid down the south bank of the James River, just off the Buffalo Scenic road. The location was just west of the spillway, and west of the State Hospital Road (12th Ave SE).<\/p>\n

It appears the car went down the bank and came to rest just at the ice line. From the northside of the river cut-off channel, the taillights of the car were still illuminated.<\/p>\n

A man and woman did get out of the car and were taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center. On scene was Jamestown Fire Department to get the woman out of the car. More on this story on the Wayne Byers Show when the police report is filed.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says the recent presentation on the concept of Bison World<\/a>, documented the positive impact it will have on Jamestown, and North Dakota.<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 he pointed out that Bison World is a 501 c3 non profit and will with approval from North Dakota be funded by the State\u2019s Legacy Fund.<\/p>\n

He said that the profits from Bison World will be back into the Legacy Fund, and that no tax dollars will be used.<\/p>\n

On another topic, Mayor Heinrich while there is no need to panic over the COVID-19 variants that are in North Dakota or may be coming to North Dakota, to get vaccinated with two vaccines, for those 18 years old and older, spaced apart when indicated and then the booster shot six months after the last vaccine.\u00a0 The pediatric Pfizer Vaccine is available for those 5-11 years old.<\/p>\n

Regularly scheduled vaccination and testing clinics are available, with a registration.<\/p>\n

Boosters are available through Central Valley Health District in Jamestown, and City County health in Valley City, along with the Jamestown VA Clinic.<\/p>\n

The mayor added that while active COVID-19 cases in Stutsman County have increased in recent weeks, at 114 as of the Sunday December 5, 2021, \u00a0NDDoH reports they are much lower than the active cases a year ago, in the mid triple digits.<\/p>\n

The City Council entered into EXECUTIVE SESSION: The purpose of the executive session is for the City Council to consult with legal counsel and discuss risks and negotiating strategy in a legal matter, which discussion in public would have an adverse fiscal effect on the City\u2019s litigation position. The legal authority for closing this portion of the meeting is N.D.C.C. Sec. 44-04-19.1 and 19.2.<\/p>\n

A Resolution was approved to convene in executive session rather than in an open meeting to consult and discuss risks and negotiating strategy in a legal matter with legal counsel, which discussion in public would have an adverse fiscal effect on the City\u2019s litigation position.<\/p>\n

Mayor Heinrich said, discussed in the Executive Session was the Middles LLC Alcohol Violation Appeal.<\/p>\n

CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS:<\/p>\n

These items are considered to be routine and will be enacted by one motion. If a member of the City Council or public requests to be heard on one of these items, the Council will remove the item from the consent agenda and consider that item individually.<\/p>\n

Council Member Buchanan asked that Item A be discussed separately\u00a0 a Resolution to approve the S&R Truck Plaza agreement as presented earlier with no changes and signed.\u00a0 He said a fully executed document was presented, saying that previously that the city attorney was to negotiate the agreement.\u00a0 Buchanan said he\u00a0 saw no information on any negotiations.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (JRMC) \u00a0 \u2014 When caring for cancer, individuals need more than medicine.<\/p>\n

Cancer care impacts a person\u2019s body, mind and soul. That\u2019s why Farmers Union Insurance (FUI) made a $50,000 gift to the REACH program at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.<\/p>\n

REACH stands for Resources, Educate, Advocacy, Care and Hope. JRMC\u2019s REACH Coordinator Kalen Heller meets with every JRMC Cancer Center patient to discuss diagnosis and treatment plans, apply for programs that offer financial assistance, offer spiritual care and learn about life as a cancer survivor. The coordinator provides support and other services to help reduce the stress of the patient and their family through all phases of treatment and recovery. Patients have the option of meeting regularly with the REACH coordinator after this initial consult.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JRMC Foundation Director Lisa Jackson says, \u201cWe always wanted to offer spiritual care and care for survivorship. However, we didn\u2019t expect to offer it so soon. In the two years since we\u2019ve opened the JRMC Cancer Center, we\u2019ve saved 500,000 miles of travel and offered holistic care to our patients. This is only possible because of generous individuals and organizations like Farmers Union Insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Built to improve the quality of life for patients and their families, increase access to under-served communities in central North Dakota and support patients on their cancer journey with state-of-the-art care, the JRMC Cancer Center opened in 2019. Since then, the cancer care team has offered more than 200 infusions each month to individuals from 35 communities in a nine-county area. The center is in partnership with Sanford Health\u2019s Roger Maris Cancer Center.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"FUI supports this program because it supports the residents of rural communities, said Mark Anderson, FUI chief executive officer. The support is also personal for Anderson, whose mother passed away from breast cancer when he was 17 years old.<\/p>\n

He says, \u201cSupporting rural communities and specifically their members\u2019 health is important to us. Miles matter when people are sick. We\u2019re proud to be part of what you do here and feel that this commitment is a natural fit with our original gift in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Farmers Union and Farmers Union Insurance also named the Welcome Center at the JRMC Cancer Center. The organizations donated $150,000 to the cancer center in 2016 \u2013 launching the development of the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t have opened the JRMC Cancer Center without North Dakota Farmers Union and Farmers Union Insurance,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) \u2014 A strong storm that created blizzard-like conditions in several Upper Midwest states left behind more than a foot of snow in some places, closed an interstate and dozens of schools and contributed to numerous accidents, including one that was fatal. A slick highway in Beltrami County, Minnesota was cited in crash that killed a 20-year-old passenger in a two-vehicle collision Sunday night. In North Dakota, the Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol closed Interstate 29 from the Canadian border to Grand Forks Sunday night due to blizzard-like conditions and reopened it Monday morning. In Wisconsin, Rhinelander, Phelps and Northland Pines were among school districts that called off classes Monday.<\/p>\n

MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Minot man has been convicted of murder in the slaying of his father. Christopher Vickerman had pleaded not guilty in the May 2019 death of 55-year-old Mark Vickerman at his Minot home. A jury returned a guilty verdict on Monday, after a weeklong trial. Testimony at trial showed the father and son had a strained relationship. Mark Vickerman told several people he was afraid his son would try to kill him. Thirty-one-year-old Christopher Vickerman faces up to life in prison without parole. A sentencing date has not been set.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new analysis of North Dakota\u2019s state-owned minerals is nearly $1 billion more than a similar estimate last year when the coronavirus created uncertainty and low prices and demand for oil declined. MineralTracker, of Watford, which is part of First International Bank & Trust, estimates the current value of the state\u2019s minerals is $2.4 billion. Oil prices have rebounded considerably since the 2020 downturn and even exceeded $80 per barrel this fall before dropping in recent days as fears about the omicron coronavirus variant emerged. Natural gas production is growing at a faster rate than oil production, though oil generally remains the sought-after commodity in the region.<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit has collapsed and died after a workout at Santa Anita. The 3-year-old colt trained by Bob Baffert had just completed five furlongs in his second workout since finishing second in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Classic a month ago at Del Mar. Baffert confirmed the colt\u2019s death and attributed it to a heart attack. Medina Spirit will undergo a full necropsy, which is required by the California Horse Racing Board. In his last race, Medina Spirit finished second in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar a month ago.<\/p>\n
