📰 News we're reading

1. I-94 West Business Loop and Highway 22 roundabouts expected to open this week (nd.gov) — Dickinson drivers could begin using the rebuilt I-94 West Business Loop and two new roundabouts this week, weather permitting. The roundabouts are at 23rd Avenue West and Highway 22 at Eighth Street. Final work is expected to wrap up the week of Nov. 16, with temporary lighting remaining until permanent poles arrive this winter.
   

2. NAIA expands eligibility to five seasons (thedickinsonpress.com) — Dickinson State athletes could gain a fifth season of competition starting in fall 2027 under newly approved NAIA rules. The change keeps the 10-semester attendance limit and adds academic requirements for a fifth season. It also means appearing in even one intercollegiate contest will use a season of eligibility.
   

3. Dickinson Public Schools board reviews solutions to increasing enrollment and progress towards goals (thedickinsonpress.com) — Most Dickinson elementary schools are at least 90% full, and enrollment projections have school leaders weighing how to make room. Superintendent Marcus Lewton presented five options to the school board, including turning Jefferson into a pre-K and kindergarten center. No clear solution emerged, and board members were asked to review the trade-offs.
   

4. George B Cram Jr (keweenawreport.com) — George B. Cram Jr., a former Dickinson banker and five-time North Dakota State Amateur golf champion, died Nov. 6 at age 88. He spent six years at Liberty National Bank before continuing his banking career in Montana and Michigan. His funeral is scheduled for Nov. 14 in L'Anse, Michigan.
