(Jamestown Chamber) Did you know that the farmer’s share of a steak dinner is approximately 5% or less of what the retail price is???? You are invited to hear about this and experience a wonderful steak dinner for the price of $1.25. The North Dakota Farmers Union and the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting a steak dinner on Thursday, July 12th at noon at the ND Farmers Union Conference room, located at 1415 12th Avenue SE in Jamestown. Tickets are required for the event, but you need to pay for your meal at the door. Tickets are available at the chamber offices or at the ND Farmers Union offices, and need to be reserved no later than Tuesday, July 3rd.
According to NDFU president, Mark Watne, “The Farmer’s Share meal is a great educational tool because it illustrates the income farmers actually receive for the food they grow. Unfortunately, it also reflects our depressed farm economy. Farmers receive less than 15 cents of every dollar spent on food. That’s the lowest it’s been since USDA began tracking the Farmer’s Share in 1993.”
Please join us in sharing the meal and finding out about our number one industry in North Dakota and how these prices are affecting our farmers within the state. There will be representatives from the NDFU board present to share information and fellowship with our local community.
To reserve your tickets for the event, please contact the North Dakota Farmers Union at 701-252-2341 or the chamber at 701-252-4830 or stop by either place to pick up your tickets. Hope to see you there!J

WASHINGTON (AP) — The opening on the Supreme Court has created a dilemma for Democratic senators up for re-election in the states that President Donald Trump won in 2016.
The choice of whether to support the upcoming nominee could be particularly difficult for Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Opposing Trump’s Supreme Court nomination could dissolve some of the goodwill they’ve built up with Trump supporters.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A 16-year legal battle between the U.S. and Canada over a $244 million Missouri River water project in North Dakota is over.
The two countries last week reached an agreement and asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to dismiss the case over the Northwest Area Water Supply project. The court did so Wednesday.
The NAWS project aims to bring Missouri River water to as many as 82,000 people in northwestern North Dakota. Manitoba sued in 2002 over concerns about the possible transfer of harmful bacteria or other agents to the Hudson Bay Basin.
The agreement gives Canada a say in water treatment and monitoring.
The state of Missouri is still fighting the project in court, fearing a depletion of river water it needs for drinking, farming and shipping.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota regulators on Thursday approved Enbridge Energy’s proposal to replace its aging Line 3 oil pipeline, angering opponents who say the project threatens pristine areas and have vowed Standing Rock-style protests if needed to block it.
All five members of the Public Utilities Commission backed the project, though some cited heavy trepidation, and a narrow majority later approved the company’s preferred route despite opposition from American Indian tribes and climate change activists.
Several commissioners cited the deteriorating condition of the existing line , which was built in the 1960s, as a major factor in their decision.
“It’s irrefutable that that pipeline is an accident waiting to happen,” Commissioner Dan Lipschultz said ahead of the vote. “It feels like a gun to our head … All I can say is the gun is real and it’s loaded.”
Pipeline opponents reacted angrily when it became clear commissioners would approve the project. Tania Aubid, a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, stood and shouted, “You have just declared war on the Ojibwe!” Brent Murcia, of the group Youth Climate Intervenors, added: “We will not let this stand.”
Opponents argue that the pipeline risks spills in fragile areas in northern Minnesota, including where American Indians harvest wild rice. Ojibwe Indians, or Anishinaabe, consider wild rice sacred and central to their culture.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A new report says the North Dakota Department of Trust Lands has made progress addressing deficiencies identified in 2016 performance audits, but more work needs to be done.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the State Auditor’s Office updated the interim Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee on Wednesday about the department’s progress following three critical audits.
The department manages the permanent educational trust funds and assets under the control of the Board of University and School Lands.
An audit found the department assigned trusts to the wrong tracts of land, resulting in royalty payments and investment income going to the wrong trust.
Commissioner Jodi Smith says the agency is making improvements, but that the department still needs to replace its outdated computer systems.

NFL NEWS
UNDATED (AP) — Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis (JAY’-mihs) Winston has been suspended for the first three games of the upcoming season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
The discipline stems from the league’s investigation of an accusation that the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner groped a female Uber driver during a ride in Arizona in March 2016. He will be eligible to return to the team on Sept. 25, the day after Tampa Bay plays the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It was not an unexpected move for George, who averaged 21.9 points for the Thunder this past season. By not opting in to the final year of his existing deal, George opens up an array of possibilities — such as going elsewhere, or signing as much as a five-year deal with Oklahoma City.

BRAZIL-RYAN LOCHTE
Brazil court allows prosecution of US swimmer Ryan Lochte
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice has ruled that U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte can be prosecuted on a charge of filing a false police report during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Lochte had claimed that he and fellow swimmers were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi in Rio. But prosecutors said he invented the story to cover up the swimmers’ vandalism of a gas station and an ensuing confrontation with security guards. The 12-time Olympic medalist later acknowledged he was intoxicated and said his behavior led to the confrontation.
A court dismissed the case last year, but the Superior Court of Justice reversed that decision this week.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Court records filed Friday show Jarrod W. Ramos has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder in the killings inside Maryland’s Capital Gazette office.
The online records do not list an attorney for Ramos, who is scheduled for a bail hearing 10:30 a.m. Friday in Annapolis.
Authorities say Ramos opened fire inside the newspaper office Thursday, killing five and injuring two others. He had a long, acrimonious history with the newspaper, including a lawsuit and years of harassment of its journalists.
A man who police say opened fire at a Maryland newspaper office had a long, acrimonious history with the paper, including a lawsuit and years of harassment of its journalists on Twitter.
The shooting Thursday killed five and injured two at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis.
A law enforcement official said the suspect was identified as Jarrod W. Ramos. The official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Retired publisher and top editor Tom Marquardt told The Capital Gazette that he had long been concerned about Ramos’ history of escalating social media attacks against the newspaper and its journalists.
He called police about Ramos in 2013 and considered filing a restraining order against him.
Family members and former co-workers are recalling the professionalism of the employees slain at a Maryland newspaper.
Four journalists and an assistant sales manager were killed Thursday at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis.
Lt. Ryan Frashure of Anne Arundel County Police read the names at a news conference Thursday night, hours after the shooting.
They are: Wendi Winters, John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Rebecca Smith, and Rob Hiaasen.
Winters was the special publications editor. McNamara was a writer. Fischman was editorial page editor. Smith was a sales assistant. Hiassen was an assistant editor and columnist.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Immigrants who have fought for years to change the U.S. immigration system are getting newfound support from activists, moms and first-time protesters outraged by President Donald Trump’s family separations.
Groups that pulled off massive women’s marches the past two years and other left-leaning rallies are throwing their weight behind migrant families this weekend.
More than 600 rallies planned Saturday to oppose separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border could draw hundreds of thousands of people nationwide.
Events are planned from immigrant-friendly cities like Los Angeles and New York City to conservative Appalachia and Wyoming.
Though many participants are seasoned anti-Trump demonstrators, others are new to immigration activism.
In Portland, Oregon, for example, several stay-at-home moms are organizing their first rally while caring for young kids.
VALLETTA, Malta (AP) — European Union leaders got a breakthrough deal on how to deal with migration after all-night talks to overcome Italian demands for more help.
EU Council President Donald Tusk said in a tweet early Friday that the 28 EU “leaders have agreed” on a migration compromise which was at the heart of their two-day summit.
EU diplomats said that the leaders finally found agreement on a vaguely worded concept centering on reception centers to deal with migrants and asylum seekers in EU nations which would volunteer to have them.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel had been under intense pressure to find a breakthrough to stave off a government crisis at home.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican game plan for selecting the next member of the Supreme Court was ready to go even before longtime Justice Anthony Kennedy made his retirement announcement this week.
Kennedy’s news that he’ll leave the court next month has activated a network of White House aides, congressional allies and outside advocates. They’re set for their second Supreme Court confirmation fight in two years. With the successful push for Justice Neil Gorsuch still fresh in their minds, their effort this time is expected to follow a similar playbook.
Trump on Thursday met with key Republican and Democratic senators at the White House in the evening to discuss the vacancy.
Trump is pledging to pick “one great United States Supreme Court justice to take the place of a great man.”
