On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, a member of The Men Of Trinity Tom Olson, said, 75 to 80 volunteers from the men’s group, and around 25 members of the women’s group, set up tables and food-processing stations.

The full menu includes Swedish meatballs, lutefisk, boiled potatoes, meatball gravy, coleslaw, cranberries, lefse and ice cream.
Carry-out meals are available by contacting the church at 252-8534.
Olson said last year the dinner had about 550 attendees and brought in about $7,700 in the church’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Funds are spent on youth activities and other programs.
The proceeds from the dinner, support Bible camper trips, while other funds go to the Jamestown Salvation Army, helping with holiday food baskets.
Trinity van is maintained used for a variety of services, such as giving taxi rides to members who don’t drive so they can get to church.
Most of the proceeds from the dinner are used for outreach.
Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund reminds local entities and organizations to apply for grant funding, as local events are also regional tourist attractions.
On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Swedlund said to apply for a grant application to contact his office to schedule the request before the Executive/Grant Board.

Jamestown (CSi) Jefferson Bus Lines is reportedly open to all options of having an official bus stop in Jamestown, and contracting with a business.
Currently, a three-sided, unheated shelter under the billboards at the north edge of the parking lot serves as a shelter for travelers.
Jefferson Lines Director of Marketing, Kevin Pursey, says the bus line estimates that two or three people per day either board or depart the buses in Jamestown.
City Council Member Ramone Gumke says he’s contacted a number of Jamestown business along I-94 to be home to an agent, selling tickets, and giving passengers a place to board and depart busses, without success.
One business contacted Jefferson Lines and said it wouldn’t be worth their time.
Jefferson Lines and Rimrock Stages, provided bus service in Jamestown before with S&R Truck Plaza as the stop for a number of years.
Truck stop owners decided to drop the service in May of 2013.
Jefferson Lines did not serve Jamestown from May to October 2013, when it resumed service.
So far efforts by City Council Member Charlie Kourajian and others for the planned bus shelter in the city parking lot west of the Post House at Second Avenue Southwest have failed due to lack of the required financial support.

She adds, that one in eight women in the U.S., will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetimes.
She states that women should begin having mammograms when they turn forty, “Because by the time they turn fifty, it could be too late. Breast cancer needs to be caught early. It’s not the number of women who develop breast cancer, but it’s how young they are when they do.”

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A judge has ordered two North Dakota State University students to write essays praising the University of North Dakota.
The students were caught on Wednesday tinkering with a sign on the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. Authorities say a third student was also involved.

The two students had pleaded guilty to refusing to halt after UND Police officers caught them fleeing the area near the Center. Records show police that night responded to a report of a group of people vandalizing the sign.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The head of the pharmacy program at North Dakota State University is unhappy with supporters of the pharmacy measure who marched in school’s homecoming parade last week.
The group wore NDSU colors and carried banners that read “Bring home NDSU pharmacy school graduates” and “Vote yes on Measure 7.”
Pharmacy dean Charles Peterson says the supporters crossed the line of appropriate campaigning and professionalism. He’s asked the university’s legal office to write a letter to measure supporters telling to stop any promotion that may be perceived as an endorsement of the issue by NDSU or the pharmacy program.
The proposed measure would change a requirement in North Dakota law that says majority ownership in pharmacies in the state must be held by a registered pharmacist.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state’s Aeronautics Commission has kicked off a study that will look into the economic impact of 89 airports in North Dakota.
The commission says the purpose of the study is to show how the airports contribute to the economic growth of the state. Many airports have seen unprecedented growth in operations since the state’s economy picked up as a result of the boom in the oil patch.
Passengers traveling on a commercial airline or on general aviation aircraft in the next few months will be able to answer surveys that will be used in the study.
A grant from the Federal Aviation Administration is partially funding the study. A final report is expected at the end of the upcoming summer.

Heartview Executive Director Kurt Snyder says the state’s booming population and a rise in drug overdose deaths nationwide has led to an increased demand for substance abuse services.
Heartview has served more than 26,000 patients in its 50-year history in Bismarck.
MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park is set to continue reducing the number of elk in the park.

Last year, 46 elk were removed from the park. This year at least 20 animals are expected to be removed.
