The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. Board voted unanimously Monday to change its bylaws, allowing the City Council to choose its JSDC Board member. The bylaws previously read the designated board member shall be the “Jamestown City Mayor and/or his/her designee.” It will now read “a member of the Jamestown City Council, chosen by the Jamestown City Council.” Bylaws changes do not require approval from the City Council or the Stutsman County Commission.

Liechty-Taber building adds campus beauty

Giving back to one’s country, making a donation in a family member’s memory or simply because there’s a need, is one of the most selfless actions anyone can make. During the season of giving we are made aware of Jamestown residents who have given so much for so many yet have received little in the area of kudos or praise. Any time a person needs to go to the west entry of Jamestown College administration building, (formerly known simply as Taber Hall), the journey now takes the visitor through a beautiful facade that opens onto a bilevel set of stairs and through several floors of updates and modernity that saved the traditional beauty of old wood finishes and fine architectural detail.

Letter to the editor: Liechty wasn’t defending a broken immigrant system

A recent letter to The Jamestown Sun calls on Mayor Clarice Liechty to explain her comments regarding illegal immigrants getting health care. The writer then provides a list or horrors supposedly caused by illegal aliens. The gist of the letter is that Liechty must account for all these problems.

Letter to the editor: Liechty should explain her comments on illegal aliens

I write in response to Mayor Clarice Liechty’s statement at an Aug. 21 town hall meeting that illegal immigrants in the U.S. need health care, according to The Jamestown Sun. Maybe she can explain this to the family of Nick Erfle. Erfle was born and raised in Fessenden, N.D. He, his wife and two young sons lived in Phoenix, Ariz., where he was a police officer. He fought cancer for four years and returned to duty as an officer. He was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant.

Mayor visits Norway

A tour of Norway gave Jamestown Mayor Clarice Liechty a chance to give a bit of Jamestown to the mayor of Sarpsborg. Liechty presented Jan Engsmyr with a piece of the piano from the Old Opera House in Jamestown that Mary Young had provided. “Mostly we did the typical tourist things,” Liechty said. “But in Sarpsborg, it is a sister city of Grand Forks. We had a chance to give a gift to the mayor from the Sons of Norway here in Jamestown.”
