NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Sears, once the monolith of American retail, says that there is “substantial doubt” that it will be able to keep its doors open.
Company shares, which hit an all-time low last month, tumbled more than 5 percent before the opening bell Wednesday.
Chairman and CEO Edward Lampert’s hedge fund has forwarded millions in funding to keep Sears afloat but with sales fading, it is burning through cash.
According to its most recent regulatory filing late Tuesday, Sears Holdings Corp. lost more than $2 billion last year. Adjusted for one-time charges, its loss was $887 million.
Sears, which employs 140,000 people, has been selling assets like its Craftsman tool brand. But it says its pension agreements may prevent the spin-off of more businesses, potentially leading to a shortfall in funding.
Sears in the Buffalo Mall, in Jamestown, recently closed its doors, temporarily. The store is in search of a new franchisee, and the new Dunham’s Sports store will occupy that space, and others.
Nome (CSi) The abandoned Zion Lutheran Church in Nome was destroyed by a fire Wednesday.
Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin reports the structure was fully engulfed in flames when deputies and firefighters from Fingal and Nome arrived on the scene shortly after 4-p.m.
Nome Fire Chief Randy Langland adds the cause of the fire is under investigation with the State Fire Marshall.
No one was occupying the church structure and no injuries were reported.
White supremacist Craig Cobb was listed on a recent deed as an owner of the now dilapidated structure, although it didn’t appear as if Cobb had moved in yet.
Cobb told WDAY that the fire was “100 percent arson” and is offering a $2,000 reward for any information related to the incident.
Jamestown (CSi) Members of North Dakota’s American Legion Posts of the 4th District and their Auxiliary will be gathering in Jamestown at the All Vet’s Club for their 2017 Spring District Meeting Thursday evening, April 6th starting at 7:00 p.m.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota was tops in the nation in honey production in 2016 for the 13th consecutive year.
The Agriculture Department says North Dakota producers with five or more colonies made 37.8 million pounds of honey last year, up 4 percent from the previous year.
The 485,000 honey-producing colonies in the state were down slightly, but average yield was up 4 pounds to 78 pounds per colony.
Prices for the 2016 crop averaged $1.73 per pound, down from $1.80 in 2015.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Opponents of a bill to prohibit judges from applying foreign laws in their courtrooms told a North Dakota Senate committee that the measure interferes with religious freedom and unfairly targets Muslims.
American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Jennifer Cook told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that passing the measure could make it susceptible to a constitutional challenge.
North Dakota is among 13 states that are considering so-called anti-Sharia bills.
Republican Rep. Kim Koppelman and other backers of the bill say it doesn’t target any religion and serves only to ensure courts follow state and federal laws.
The North Dakota measure does not specifically name Sharia law, which is used in some parts of the Islamic world.
The House already has approved the measure. The full Senate will debate it later.
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — Voters in the Devils Lake School District have rejected a proposal to build a nearly $9 million fine arts center on the high school campus.
The school district’s tally shows 53 percent of voters on Tuesday favored issuing bonds to pay for the project, but 60 percent of the vote was needed for passage.
Devils Lake Superintendent Scott Privratsky tells KZZY he’s disappointed the project was rejected. He says the next step for the fine arts center is up to the school board.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Activists who want to derail the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska have asked to intervene in a state commission’s review of the route through the state.
Applications submitted Wednesday to the Nebraska Public Service Commission argue that opponents should be allowed to formally participate in the case.
Intervening would let them file legal briefs, cross-examine witnesses and present formal arguments alongside attorneys for pipeline developer TransCanada.
Nebraska requires residents to show a “substantial legal interest” in a project before they can intervene. Commission Chairman Tim Schram will decide who qualifies.
Linda Anderson of Bold Nebraska says her pipeline opposition group will argue that opponents have an interest as taxpayers and consumers of the state’s water.
TransCanada spokesman Terry Cuhna says the company will keep working with residents.

TWINS…
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Minnesota Twins right-hander Trevor May has undergone Tommy John elbow surgery that will keep him off the mound this season.
The Twins announced on Wednesday that the replacement of May’s torn ulnar collateral ligament was successful. The 27-year-old was transitioning back to starting, following a move to the bullpen halfway through the 2015 season.
With May’s injury and their release on Tuesday of veteran right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, the Twins are down to Jose Berrios, Tyler Duffey and Adalberto Mejia in the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation.
May was placed on the 60-day disabled list, making room for the Twins to add left-hander Craig Breslow to the 40-man roster. The 36-year-old Breslow is among the finalists for a middle relief role.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL-NBA…
UNDATED (AP) — Duke freshman Jayson Tatum, Florida State guard Dwayne Bacon and Louisville guard Donovan Mitchell have announced that they intend to give up their remaining college eligibility to enter the NBA draft. None of the three has hired an agent.
Tatum was second on the Blue Devils in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16.8 points and 7.3 boards. Bacon averaged 17.2 points and was a second-team All-ACC selection. Mitchell scored a team-high 15.6 points a game for the Cardinals this season.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The United States has won the World Baseball Classic for the first time in four tries.
Marcus Stroman was named the tournament MVP after carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning to lead the Americans to an 8-0 rout of Puerto Rico in the title game at Los Angeles. Stroman allowed just three balls past the infield until Angel Pagan’s double in the left-field corner leading off the seventh. The Toronto Blue Jays hurler silenced a Puerto Rican club that had outscored the opposition 55-26 while winning its first seven games of the tournament.
Ian Kinsler slammed a two-run homer for the U.S.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican bill to replace “Obamacare” is likely to be defeated today if 23 Republicans join all Democrats in voting “no.” Before the vote, President Donald Trump is meeting with conservative Republicans in the Freedom Caucus, who’ve said that the GOP plan doesn’t go far enough. But concessions now being offered to conservatives appear to be scaring off moderate Republicans.
WASHINGTON (AP) — More information has been revealed about President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. U.S. Treasury Department agents have recently obtained information about offshore financial transactions involving Manafort, as part of a federal anti-corruption probe into his work in Eastern Europe. It also was revealed this week that Manafort worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago.
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Theresa May says “millions of acts of normality” are the best response to terrorism. May spoke to the House of Commons today, saluting the “everyday actions” of “millions people … going about their days and getting on with their lives.” Streets around Parliament are cordoned off following yesterday’s deadly attack near Parliament, but the vast majority of London is open and bustling as usual. Three people were killed when a man in an SUV plowed into a crowd of people and then attacked an officer with a knife.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — A former Russian lawmaker has been shot and killed in Ukraine. Police say Denis Voronenkov was gunned down today by an unidentified gunman at the entrance of an upscale hotel in Kiev. The 45-year-old had been a member of the communist faction in the lower house of Russian parliament before he moved to Ukraine last fall and was granted Ukrainian citizenship. Voronenkov said he had to leave Russia because he was being persecuted by Russian security agents.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia’s Department of Revenue says the city’s new tax on sweetened drinks, like soda, brought in $6.4 million in February. The city had projected the tax would generate $5.9 million for the month. The tax is 1.5 cents per ounce on sweetened and diet beverages, and it funds pre-K and community schools. It also will help pay to renovate recreation centers, libraries and parks.
