Jamestown (CSi) Board members of Frontier Village Association and Jamestown Tourism both say they must concentrate on a shared vision for the city’s most popular tourist destination.

This meeting follows a FVA special meeting on August 13th when board member Tina Busche and FVA Manager Nichole Mosolf said they felt board funding was threatened. They said Jamestown Tourism Executive Director Searle Swedlund said FVA may not have been in compliance with funding guidelines and was advising Mosolf on her duties.

On Wednesday, FVA Board President Charley Tanata said the Jamestown Tourism office is in Frontier Village, and staff cannot help but watch the day-to-day activities, adding “We should work more closely and use the money for what we are supposed to do. All you are doing is making sure the money is used for what it is supposed to be used for and that we are getting the job done.”

Swedlund said the Frontier Village vision is not clear and must translate into a goal of driving tourism numbers that boost economic development of the community. He acknowledged the friction between the organizations in the past and said it goes without saying that the two need to work as closely as possible to ensure proper use of hospitality tax dollars from Jamestown Tourism and the city.

During the meeting Nellie Degen, FVA board member, said the urgency of collaboration between the two boards was clear. She said the boards should be clear about where the individual and overlapping responsibilities lie and where they need to come together.

 

Jamestown (CSi) Help for Hope and Healing (HHH), Jamestown’s Cancer Support Network, is hosting Quarter Craze, a fun and fast paced fund raiser on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 519 First Ave South in Jamestown beginning at 6:00 pm but doors will open at 5:00 so that guests can come early and view items to be auctioned. Tickets are $10.00 and include a bidding paddle, appetizers and the opportunity to bid on over 60 gift baskets for as little as 25¢.

At the Quarter Craze Event each item up for bid will be displayed for all guests to see. The auctioneer will give a brief description, retail value and how many quarters you will need to bid. Guests who wish to bid on the item will place their quarters in a container on their table and hold up their numbered paddle. When all bids are collected, the auctioneer will draw out a numbered chip. The guest’s paddle number that matches the number on the chip drawn wins that item. If a matching numbered paddle is not held up, the person with that bid number calls out “No Bid” and the auctioneer will draw again, until there is a winner. After each item is won, all chips are placed back in the auctioneer’s container for the next item to be auctioned so every guest has a chance to win every item. Retail values of the baskets range from $10.00 to over $100.00. Bid increments are 1 quarter for baskets valued up to $24.99; 2 quarters for baskets valued at $25.00 to $49.00; 3 quarters for baskets values at $50.00 to $74.99 and 4 quarters for baskets for baskets valued at $75.00 and up. To increase chances of winning, guests can purchase additional bidding paddles for $10.00. Guests are encouraged to bring rolls of quarters for this exciting and entertaining evening.

One hundred per cent of the proceeds from this event will go to the Help for Hope and Healing Cancer Support Network and will be used to help local cancer patients with the cost of their travel for treatment.

So get a group of friends together to come and enjoy this fun evening and support those in Jamestown and the surrounding area who are dealing with cancer.

For more information, or to purchase tickets to the Quarter Craze event, please call Laurel at 269-9543 or Barb at 252-2408.

In world and national news…

 WASHINGTON (AP) – As the Senate nears a critical vote on the international nuclear accord with Iran, President Barack Obama has made a last-minute appeal for support. He told a gathering of military veterans and others Thursday that America’s strength comes partly through “principled diplomacy.” He says it would be a “historic achievement” to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons without having to go to war. Foes of the deal don’t have the Senate votes to move ahead with a resolution of disapproval.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama has told advisers he wants to let 10,000 Syrian refugees into the country in the coming budget year.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest says about $4 billion the administration has provided to relief agencies and others is the most effective way for the U.S. to help meet the humanitarian crisis in Europe. But he says Obama has decided that admitting more Syrian refugees would help boost the U.S. response.
