The Jamestown Sun hands out these bravos this week:
Bravo to organizers and volunteers who provided a free meal of turkey, homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, cranberries and pumpkin bars to people on Thanksgiving Day. The Community Thanksgiving Dinner was done as a drive-thru pickup and delivery event instead of dining in Concordia Lutheran Church. Organizers said they planned for 700 meals this year.
Bravo to the University of Jamestown women’s soccer team for recording its winningest season in program history with an 18-2-1 record. The Jimmies took down the regular season GPAC title and made it to the NAIA national tournament for the first time since 2005. The Jimmies season ended in the first round of the national tournament with a 5-2 loss to the Columbia College Cougars.
Bravo to the North Dakota Legislature for earmarking $300,000 for the creation of a centralized missing persons database that will be managed by the attorney general’s office. Once launched, the database will fill a longstanding gap for North Dakota agencies and law enforcement, and backers are hopeful that it will provide an especially useful resource for monitoring the state’s problem of missing Indigenous people.
