At Friday’s (nov 15, 2013) meeting of the Buffalo City Tourism Foundation’s Grant and Executive Advisory Board, at Historic Franklin School, the board received documentation from United Transportation Union representative Randy Walker, giving total ownership of the train to the Frontier Village.

The train will be utilized at the Village, and likely a part of parades.

A storage location is still to be determined.

The Grant Committee then voted unanimously to approve a $5,000 grant for improvements to the train, being spear-headed by Shawn Syverson of Jamestown.

The Board also granted $8,000 toward the $9,000 cost of the fireworks display to be held July 5, 2014, at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds, in conjunction with the Jamestown Speedway races to be held that day. The speedway will underwrite $1,000 toward the cost of the payment to the fireworks contractor, noting one dollar per head of those attending the races.

The Chamber’s Young Professional of Jamestown group will be asked to review the questionaire for suggestions for any changes before the questionaire is distributed to a pre-determined list of partcipants.

Jamestown (CSi) — Marco Moser has recently been named as Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s (JRMC) first Chief of Anesthesia.This new position has been developed to better communicate with patients and staff.

Moser has been with the anesthesia team at JRMC since June 2012. He received a Master’s of Science degree in Nurse Anesthesia at the University of North Dakota. Marco and his family live in Jamestown.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, or CRNAs, are independent practitioners and—just like a physician – are contracted by the hospital for their services. Because they are each individually licensed the department has restructured to have a Chief of Anesthesia.

Moser’s role as Chief of Anesthesia will be to coordinate departmental duties and serve as a spokesperson for the group when called upon. This change in structure will not have any effect on the normal care of patients; however, the department will be able to better communicate with each other to serve patients.

CRNAs at JRMC provide patients with a wide variety of anesthesia services. They work closely with the surgeons, emergency department providers and family practice doctors to meet the needs of patients. CRNAs make is possible for JRMC to provide surgery by providing surgical anesthesia. They also provide pain relief to mother’s during labor and delivery. In addition to providing pain relief, they also make it possible for JRMC to provide airway management to help patients breathe easier during certain procedures.

Fargo (CSi) – On Saturday November 16th, 2013, the NDHP investigated a two vehicle multi injury crash on Richland County Road 81 at the junction with Richland County Road 8.

The crash occurred at approximately 11:59 pm.  A southbound, 2002 Subaru Forrester was making a left turn from Co. Rd. 81 to Co.

 LEITH, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have taken two men into custody for carrying guns in a small North Dakota town they want to turn into a white enclave.
 
     Grant County sheriff Steve Bay says residents of Leith (LEETH) should feel at ease at least for now because the two men are in custody.
 
     The sheriff tells the Bismarck Tribune  he is assembling evidence for charges of terrorizing against Craig Cobb, 62, and Kynan Dutton, 29.
 
     The two men moved into Leith to take over the town’s government. City residents say they called for help because the two men were confronting them with guns in a threatening and intimidating manner.
 
     The newspaper reports that Cobb sent a text message before he was taken into custody saying the group started armed patrols because of harassments.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Some small North Dakota towns and community groups are coming together to address a shortage of child care.

In Turtle Lake, part of City Hall is housing a child care program. In Killdeer, the city, a local job development group and a nursing home are working together to provide space for a day care. And in McClusky, a child care is being partially funded by a job development authority and a merchants group.

Child Care Aware of North Dakota spokeswoman Penny Smith says such efforts are “huge” in the world of child care.

The agency estimates that there are nearly 85,000 children in North Dakota needing child care, and the capacity of licensed child cares is only about 31,000.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota group is taking part in a national effort to cover the headstones on veterans’ graves with holiday wreaths.

     Roughly 5,000 wreaths will have to be sponsored this year for each headstone to be covered in the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery. Each wreath costs $15 to sponsor.
 
     Kevin Iverson, who is leading the effort, says no community has ever covered every headstone in the history of the event. But he says last year about 90 percent of the headstones were covered at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan, one of the largest efforts in the nation.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Turkey Federation is presenting a Thanksgiving bird to Gov. Jack Dalrymple.

 NATIONAL  FOOTBALL  LEAGUE

 SEATTLE (AP) – The Seahawks rolled to their franchise-record 13th straight home win as they beat the Minnesota Vikings 41-20 yesterday. Christian Ponder threw a 38-yard TD to Jarius Wright in the first half for Minnesota. He also threw two poor interceptions in the fourth quarter.

 

Robbie Gould hit a 38-yard field goal with 8:41 left in overtime, giving the Bears a 23-20 win over Baltimore and ending a marathon afternoon of football off Lake Michigan. The game was delayed about two hours by a torrential downpour in the first quarter. Fans were ordered to leave the stands and head to the concourse amid reports of at least one tornado touching down in Illinois. The Ravens were ahead 10-0 when play was stopped.

 

 The New York Giants have followed their 0-6 start with four consecutive wins, leaving them one game behind the Eagles in the loss column for the NFC East lead. The Giants allowed just 55 rushing yards and kept Green Bay out of the end zone until the fourth quarter of a 27-13 win against the Packers.

 

 DENVER (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs’ bid for a perfect season has ended with a 27-27 loss to the Broncos in Denver.
