Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Author, Nancy Kuykendall will host another signing for copies of her first book, Mornings on the Porch, on

Wednesday November 12, at 5-p.m., at the Alfred Dickey Public Library in Jamestown.

She will also have copies of the book for purchase during the signing.

Ms. Kuykendall studied music and taught for thirty years and has played piano for churches and a variety of events.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Nancy said although she never considered herself an “author,” she started to put pen to paper with thoughts, in 2011.

The book took about 2 years to complete, and with seeking a publisher and the publication and distribution arranged, a year later the book was released nationally on October 15, 2014.

She said the book is starting to receive a wider distribution.

The book is available at www.amazon.com and through Tate Publishing, www.tatepublishing.com .

The book is also available in the e-book format for electronic devises, including Kindle.

About The Book

Sometimes an ordinary day, or moment or event, can suddenly take an extraordinary turn and come to mean more, or teach you more, than you ever would have expected.

Have you ever had a mundane day turn into something spectacular? Have you ever been full of an anger you couldn’t let go of, then in a moment were freed from it? Do you have precious memories held deep inside? Have you ever had to give up a dream? Have you ever achieved a goal or a dream? Have you ever suffered a pain and hurt so intense you didn’t believe you could get through another day, but you did? Have you ever loved and lost? Have you ever had strong opinions yet find yourself in the minority? Have you ever felt you don’t belong? Have you ever experienced small miracles? Have you ever been touched by God and received joy no matter your circumstances? Mornings on the Porch is all these stories and more. Life as it touches us.

 

 CASSELTON, N.D. (AP) – Two 4-year-old boys are at a hospital after nearly drowning at a hotel pool in North Dakota.
 
     The Cass County Sheriff’s office says emergency personnel were called to the Days Inn in Casselton on Tuesday and performed CPR on the children. The boys were then taken to a Fargo hospital where they are conscious and alert.
 
     Sgt. Tara Morris says the children are not related. She adds that their parents have been notified of the incident.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The representative for a Grand Forks attorney who was accused and then cleared of conspiring to kill a confidential informant says he plans to investigate a drug task force now that the key witness in the case has been sentenced to prison.
 
     Henry Howe is a longtime criminal defense attorney who was charged in January with murder conspiracy. The case was dropped after Howe’s lawyer, David Thompson, argued that witness Steven Anderson made up the allegations.
 
     Anderson was sentenced Monday to seven years for felony theft.
 
     Thompson says he was waiting for Anderson’s sentencing before pursuing action against a Grand Forks narcotics task force that initiated the case against Howe. Thompson says that might include a civil suit.
 
     Officials in the state attorney general’s office were not available for comment.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – No one was hurt in a fire that prompted the evacuation of a Fargo apartment building.
 
     Firefighters who responded to the scene shortly before 5:30 p.m. Monday contained the damage to a second-floor apartment, though smoke damage was reported throughout the building’s second and third floors. Damage is estimated at $75,000.
 
     Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire, which started in a bedroom.
 
     The  Red Cross is helping two people displaced by the fire

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Police in Fargo are looking for the suspect in a convenience store robbery.
 
     Interim Police Chief Dave Todd says a man entered the Loaf ‘N Jug store, brandished a handgun and demanded money. The man then left the store with an undisclosed amount of cash and jumped into a small, red getaway car driven by another person.
 
     Todd says the man was wearing a red hoodie and had his face covered. He adds that police will check surveillance video from the store and nearby businesses in hopes of identifying a suspect and getting a better description of the car.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The soybean crop in the Dakotas is forecast to be record size this year.
 
     The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its Nov. 10 report pegs North Dakota’s soybean crop at 201 million bushels, up 42 percent from last year. South Dakota’s crop is estimated at 230 million bushels, up 24 percent over the year. Both production figures would be state records.
 
     South Dakota’s corn crop also is forecast to be a record – 815 million bushels, up 1 percent. However, about 16 percent of the crop remains in the field, with some of it now covered by snow that could hamper the rest of the harvest.
 
     North Dakota’s corn production is estimated at 352 million bushels, down 11 percent from 2013. About one-fourth of the crop remains in the field.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A resurvey of hundreds of small grains farmers in eight states has resulted in only minor changes to the federal government’s official estimates of the nation’s wheat, barley and oats crops.
 
     The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s annual late-September small grains summary usually is the final word on those crops. But many farmers this year still had crops in the field when they were surveyed about production in early September – meaning they had to guess what their final production would be.
 
     USDA resurveyed affected farmers in both Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming. The agency updated the production estimates Monday.
 
     The wheat production estimate dropped less than half a percent. The barley estimate dropped only 2 percent and the oat estimate dropped only 1 percent.

 

In sports…

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Three-time defending national champion North Dakota State has dropped to fourth in both Football Championship Subdivision polls after the team’s first loss in more than two years.
 
     Northern Iowa beat the Bison 23-3 over the weekend, snapping NDSU’s 33-game winning streak, the longest in FCS history.
 
     NDSU is now fourth in this week’s coaches’ poll and Sports Network poll. The Bison had held the top spot in the coaches’ poll for 30 straight weeks, and in the Sports Network poll for 30 of the last 31 weeks.
 
     Coastal Carolina is first and New Hampshire second in the coaches’ poll. The schools swap spots in the Sports Network poll. Jacksonville State is third in both polls.
 
     NDSU travels to unranked Missouri State on Saturday.

 

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) – Hugs all around, as Dr. Craig Spencer left a New York City hospital today. The doctor who contracted Ebola while treating patients in West Africa was hospitalized for nearly three weeks, but has now been declared free of Ebola. Spencer hugged the health workers who cared for him — and he received a hug from Mayor Bill de Blasio. The mayor praised Spencer for showing “what it means to help your fellow human.”
 
     BAMAKO, Mali (AP) – Authorities in the African country of Mali are reporting progress in preventing the spread of Ebola. The country hasn’t registered any new cases since a toddler traveling from Guinea became Mali’s first case last month. The child died on October 24th. Nearly 30 members of a family that was visited by the 2-year-old girl have now been released from a 21-day quarantine.
 
     RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) – Leaders of Israel and the Palestinians are exchanging angry words, amid fears of a widespread outbreak of fighting. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Tuesday accused Israel of leading the region toward a “religious war.” And Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu said Abbas is making matters worse — by “inflaming” tensions instead of calming them.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to gather on the National Mall in Washington Tuesday  evening for a free concert to raise awareness for issues affecting veterans. The first-of-its-kind Concert for Valor will feature Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Rihanna, Metallica and others.
 
     NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks have been holding their ground near record levels Tuesday. While corporate earnings remain strong, analysts say the market could face volatility as investors fret about the potential timing of the Federal Reserve’s first increase in interest rates since 2006.
