Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Medical Center is collecting new and gently-used children’s shoes through Friday, April 27.
JRMC Podiatrist, Dr. Rachael Renschler, says, “Children’s feet grow and change rapidly to ultimately form a foot they will depend on for the rest of their lives. The most critical time to care and support the foot is when children are young,”
She adds, “Children grow quickly. It can be hard for some families to afford multiple pairs of shoes, sandals and boots each year. But shoes that fit properly are important. Shoes that don’t fit can cause blisters and prevent kids from being able to grip the ground properly putting them at risk for injuries.”
To help those families, Dr. Renschler is asking the community to donate shoes for children and teens as part of the Souls for Soles program.
This is JRMC’s first year hosting Soles for Souls. Soles for Souls benefits local families through Community Action Region VI and Salvation Army in Jamestown.
Community Action Region VI, Director, Kathy Williams adds. “We’ll distribute shoes to children this summer. If we have extras, we’ll also give them to children before school starts.”
Salvation Army plans to distribute the shoes this summer before the new school year and as part of its Angel Tree program in December.
To participate, the public may donate clean, matching shoes to one of the following locations: JRMC, First Community Credit Union, Wells Fargo, Central Valley Health and Two Rivers Activities Center. To keep feet healthy, Soles for Souls cannot accept shoes that are torn or visibly soiled.

Jamestown (CSi) — The North Dakota Farmers Union says that family farmers and the Renewable Fuel Standard took a hit on Tuesday, as the Environmental Protection Agency exempted one of the nation’s largest oil refining companies from complying with the biofuels regulation. Hardship waivers were granted to three Andeavor refineries despite the corporation’s net profits of nearly $1.5 billion last year.
North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne says the move is unfortunate, considering the low commodity prices and overall decline in farm income. The Trump administration had previously voiced support for renewable fuels.
Watne says, “Farmers are told to get prices from the marketplace, yet our government is creating a market atmosphere that reduces demand and causes prices to drop. When farmers need this administration the most, we are getting broken promises.”
For refineries producing less than 75,000 barrels a day, a hardship waiver exempts those that can demonstrate they suffer a “disproportionate economic hardship” from RFS compliance costs. The waivers come at a time of uncertainty in agriculture with ongoing farm bill negotiations and trade woes with China.
Watne adds, “We need new demand, a new farm bill and no cuts to crop insurance — not strategies that further the economic pain to our farm families.”
Bismarck (CSi) The North Dakota Attorney General’s office has announced that a Minot resident is being investigated for alleged fraud.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says, Terpsichore “Tore” Maras-Lindeman, doing business as “A Magic City Christmas,” is being investigated for alleged violations of consumer fraud law and charitable solicitation laws. The investigation began after a media inquiry concerning claims Maras-Lindeman made regarding a holiday concert to benefit Minot charities.
He says, “The charitable solicitation law and consumer fraud laws were enacted to protect members of the When anyone fails to comply with the reasonable requirements of these laws, it is my office’s duty to investigate and take any necessary action to protect consumers.”
Stenehjem adds, the investigation is ongoing but has been hampered by Maras-Lindeman’s refusal to cooperate. The Attorney General is also concerned that Maras-Lindeman has been involved in many lawsuits in North Dakota and other states with different name variations.
Stenehjem says, “My office offered Ms. Maras-Lindeman a very reasonable settlement for her violations of the charitable solicitation laws and misrepresentations to the public in connection with her solicitations and, unfortunately, she declined the settlement. Although she has every right to choose to contest the allegations, she must cooperate with our lawful investigation. Instead, she has chosen to make false claims about the purpose or nature of the investigation.”
Several members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota challenged the state’s voter identification laws, saying they were a form of voter suppression.
Tom Dickson, a lawyer for tribal members, called the judge’s ruling a victory. He says it should clear a big hurdle for Native Americans at the polls.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, is critical of the Trump administration’s tariffs.
“A trade war always has unanticipated consequences,” he said during a press conference at the state capitol Wednesday. “The last two days are an indication of exactly what I’ve been most concerned about.”
He says the tariffs could affect Missouri’s ability to export food abroad, and the U.S. should instead focus on pursuing trade cases it already has against China with the World Trade Organization.
SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — A spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says agents are searching Southern California homes where the YouTube shooter had lived.
Spokeswoman Ginger Colbrun would not confirm the locations but reporters on Wednesday saw agents entering homes in the communities of Menifee and 4S Ranch.
Menifee is about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles and 4S Ranch is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of San Diego.
Police in the city of San Bruno near San Francisco where the shooting happened have said they requested the searches.
Police have said Nasim Aghdam shot and wounded three people at YouTube headquarters on Tuesday with a handgun and then shot and killed herself.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says the U.S. military mission to eradicate the Islamic State in Syria is coming to a “rapid end” but offers no timetable for withdrawal.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he wants to bring troops home to start rebuilding the U.S.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday that the U.S. and its partners remain committed to eliminating the small Islamic State group presence that continues in Syria.
Sanders says the administration will continue to consult with allies regarding future plans.
Trump discussed Syria in a meeting with his national security team on Tuesday.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Thousands are marching through a Tennessee city to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the 50th anniversary of his death.
Memphis Police spokesman Louis Brownlee says the department’s aircraft estimated that as many as 10,000 or so had gathered for the march on Wednesday.
The march started in the early afternoon with a mix of emotions and ages. Some marchers were smiling and chanting; others were staring ahead with serious looks on their faces.
Some marched arm-in-arm, while others held signs saying “I Am a Man” in honor of a 1968 sanitation workers strike that King was supporting at the time of his death. People sang “We Shall Overcome.”
The marchers included Martin Luther King III, Al Sharpton, Bernie Sanders and Andrew Young.
At age 91, civil rights leader the Rev. James Lawson was also marching. He noted that he has been part of the struggle for 50 years, telling a reporter: “I’m still anxious and frustrated. The task is unfinished.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller has informed President Donald Trump’s attorneys that the president is not currently considered a criminal target in the Russia investigation.
That’s according to a person familiar with the conversation, who said Trump is considered a subject of Mueller’s probe — not a target. A subject is typically someone whose conduct is of interest to investigators but there’s not enough evidence to bring charges.
The designation could change at any time, though. The development was first reported by The Washington Post.
The person was not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations and demanded anonymity. The person said Mueller told Trump’s lawyers about his designation as prosecutors and the president’s legal team negotiate the terms of an interview with Trump.
