Jamestown  (Chamber)  The chamber Young Professionals of Jamestown and the Chamber Ambassadors recently recognized Bank Insure Tax Invest Forward as the November Business of the Month Award recipient for their outstanding customer service and continued commitment to the community.

Their nomination stated, “Bank Forward and all their various Forward entities here in town do a fabulous job. They really stepped up in this last year to help local small businesses like me through the process of applying for and getting forgiveness for COVID related funds. I didn’t think my business would have qualified, but they actually pointed it out to me and helped me apply. I would not have pursued it or known about it if it wasn’t for them. I’m sure all our local financial institutions did a great job helping the community through this process, but Bank Forward employees went above and beyond. I’m so thankful I bank with them. They helped save my business!”

The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce honors businesses that provide superior customer service, exhibit community spirit and provide a positive economic impact to the community.  This award provides recognition throughout the month with a plaque and a recognition banner for the month.

Valley City( CSi) Valley City High School Seniors will be able to get a fasting cholesterol test December 3. The Testing is coordinated  with Valley City Public Schools and City County Health District , The test to include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and blood sugar for a minimum charge of $35.

Consent forms for parents and/or students need to be completed by Friday, December  in order to participate. Consent forms have been  given to each student.

Valley City High School is committed to preparing graduating seniors to oversee their own lives as adults, including the area of health. The only health class students take is in grade 9, so to refresh the student the seniors will have the opportunity to take the Personal Wellness Profile which is FREE. If the student is under 18 years of age, the parent or legal guardian will need to sign a consent form to participate. The information from the cholesterol test combined with the Personal Wellness Profile questionnaire will give each student a complete health risk assessment now that they are young adults.

The Personal Wellness Profile report for seniors encourages healthy eating, exercising regularly, wearing seatbelts, etc. Height, weight and blood pressure are also included with the profile report. The benefit to the students is that they will learn about the tests they should do on a continuing basis throughout their adult years.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The state Board of Medicine brought 11 formal disciplinary actions against North Dakota doctors this year. The number includes three sanctions that resulted in physicians losing their license to practice in the state. Figures show the number of disciplinary actions in 2021 was two fewer than the previous year, but matched the annual tally in 2018 and 2019. Alcohol-related incidents typically make up the bulk of the board’s sanctions. Doctors in the state also were disciplined for such things as incompetence, unethical behavior, substandard care, and criminal offenses. The group reviews up to 120 cases against doctors annually.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota health officials say the rate of flu vaccinations for children continues to decline. The state Department of Health says that 13,000 fewer dozes of influenza vaccine have been administered to children this fall compared to the same time last year. That’s on the heels of an 8% decline in the number of shots in the 2020-21 season. State Health Officer Dr. Nizar Wehbi says children are especially vulnerable to the flu, which is spread through coughs, sneezes, shared saliva and the touching of contaminated surfaces. The severity of the disease can range from mild to deadly. Health officials recommend that anyone older than six months of age be vaccinated against the flu.

 

In world and national news…

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — Jurors have convicted the three white men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery. He was the Black man who was chased and fatally shot while running through their Georgia neighborhood in an attack that became part of the larger national reckoning on racial injustice. The convictions for Greg McMichael, son Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan came after jurors deliberated for about 10 hours. The men face minimum sentences of life in prison. The judge will decide whether that comes with or without the possibility of parole. An attorney for Arbery’s father said Arbery’s spirit “defeated the lynch mob.”

 

(AP)  After three men were convicted in the murder of her son, Ahmaud Arbery’s mother said she never thought she’d see the day come. It’s been a long, hard fight, Wanda Cooper-Jones told a crowd gathered outside the courthouse in Glynn County. But she said her son can rest in peace now. Greg McMichael, son Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan were convicted Wednesday in Arbery’s death. Cooper-Jones’ attorney hailed his client’s unflinching fight for justice. Cooper-Jones said said her slain son “will now rest in peace.”

 

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — When he was acquitted of murder for shootings during unrest in Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse went from staring at possible life behind bars to red-hot star of the right. He taped an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson and went with his mom to visit Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, where the two men were photographed smiling and snapping a thumbs-up. For Rittenhouse, a year of legal uncertainty over whether his claim of self-defense would stand up has given way to uncertainty over what’s next. Even as he figures out his next moves, fundraising is continuing on his behalf, ostensibly to retire legal bills from his trial but perhaps in recognition that he may face civil lawsuits over the shootings.

 

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge has ordered two lawyers who filed a class action lawsuit alleging the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump to pay more than $180,000 in attorney’s fees for the defendants. U.S. Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter said the lawsuit was a publicity stunt to manipulate “gullible members of the public” and helped spur the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The judge stayed the awards pending an appeal of the lawsuit, which relied on baseless conspiracy theories spread by the former president and his supporters. It named elected officials in four swing states, Facebook, the company’s founder Mark Zuckerberg and Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, whose election machines were at the center of some of the most fevered speculation.

 

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The suburban Chicago families of two college students who were among those killed this month at the Astroworld concert in Houston have joined the growing ranks of those who are suing rapper Travis Scott and companies involved with the event. In their wrongful death lawsuit, the Naperville families of 20-year-old Jacob Jurinek and 21-year-old Franco Patino contend Scott and the companies involved failed to take even the most basic safety precautions before the concert descended into chaos and left 10 dead and hundreds injured. Jurinek and Patino, both college students, were close friends who had played on the same high school football team.
