Jamestown (JRMC) — A child who dies in the womb knows only its parents love. He knows no pain.
Those were the words of the Rev. Jeffrey Wald, St. James Basilica, at Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s GOLF “fore” ANGELS event on Aug. 4.
He says, “We will always be a parent to that child – whether in our arms or in our hearts as angels in heaven.”
The 9-hole ANGELS tournament benefits infant bereavement care at JRMC.
Every year, families experience the loss of an infant due to an unexpected circumstance. The Dr. Mandy and Dave Sorlie ANGELS fund helps pay medical bills for those parents through the JRMC Foundation. The fund is available to anyone who experiences infant loss at JRMC at the gestation of 16 weeks or greater up to 4 months of age due to unavoidable circumstances.
ANGELS stands for Advocating for Neonatal Grief and Early Loss Support (ANGELS). ANGELS grant amounts and recipients are determined by the availability of funds. The grant covers the labor and delivery charges after insurance payments. On average, families that have insurance would otherwise have to pay more than $1,500 for these medical services. ANGELS removes this financial burden and helps families grieve.
Since it started three years ago, ANGELS has helped 10 families.
JRMC Foundation Director Lisa Jackson, says, “It is a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by people who care so deeply about others who experience the loss of a child. GOLF ‘fore’ ANGELS support is in remembrance of our angels.”
In 2017, the tournament raised about $9,000. This year, the tournament raised $12,700 thanks to the support of more than 20 teams – the biggest in the ANGELS event history.

LINTON, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol has identified a 65-year-old Bismarck man who was killed after a motorcycle crash in Emmons County.
The Highway Patrol says Mark Henninger lost control of the motorcycle on state Highway 1804 west of Linton about 2:45 p.m. Thursday. The patrol says the 2002 Harley-Davidson went in the ditch and hit an approach.
Henninger was pronounced dead at a Linton hospital.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 38-year-old woman is accused of setting a fire at a downtown Minneapolis store that caused more than $500,000 in damage.
Lewonda Jones, of Brooklyn Center, was charged last week in Hennepin County with two counts of arson. Jones was found in Fargo, North Dakota, and is being held in the Cass County jail pending her return to Minnesota.
A clothing rack at the Marshalls store on Nicollet Mall was set ablaze on July 15. The fire closed the outlet for nearly four weeks.
Police say an employee discovered the fire and put it out. No one was hurt.
According to the charges, in-store video surveillance showed Jones taking a long grill lighter from a pocket to ignite the blaze.
The Star Tribune reports the charges don’t list a motive.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Nine North Dakota communities have been trying out new ideas in street design as part of a public transportation initiative.
The Minot Daily News reports that ND Moves aims to develop a statewide transportation plan that includes pedestrians, bikers and public transit. The group held an open house to present the latest data and project status, including information about demonstration projects that began in early July.
The demonstration projects last about six weeks and are situated in Bottineau, Bismarck, Grafton, Grand Forks, Hazen, Horace, Mandan, Rugby and Williston. Transportation Department project manager Steve Mullen says the demonstrations focus on improving safety, particularly in ways that encourage active, non-motorized transportation like walking and biking.
Mullen estimates a draft plan should be completed within five months.
BUFFALO, S.D. (AP) — The company planning the Keystone XL oil pipeline is moving to condemn private land in northwestern South Dakota’s Harding County.
The Rapid City Journal reports TransCanada Corp. has filed eminent domain condemnation petitions in state court against parcels of land owned by two families.
At least one of them plans to fight. Jeffrey Jensen says he’ll take the matter to court if necessary.
The $8 billion, 1,179-mile (1,897-kilometer) pipeline would deliver oil from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. It still faces several hurdles along with intense resistance from environmental groups and Native American tribes.
South Dakota’s Supreme Court in June dismissed an appeal from pipeline opponents including the Cheyenne River Sioux of a judge’s decision last year upholding regulators’ approval for the pipeline to cross the state.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The senior care provider Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society will become part of Dakotas-based Sanford Health sooner than expected.
The society membership and the health network board approved a merger in June. The merger has now received regulatory approval, and the Argus Leader reports the two nonprofits will join effective Nov. 1. The earlier goal had been by the end of January.
The Good Samaritan Society has 200 locations in 24 states. Sanford bills itself as one of the largest health systems in the nation, with 44 hospitals and nearly 300 clinics in nine states and four countries. The two nonprofits together employ about 47,000 workers nationwide.

Houston’s bullpen worked 3 2/3 scoreless innings as the ballclub moved one game ahead of the A’s.
Checking out Sunday’s other major league action:
— Arizona still leads the NL West by a half-game over Colorado after A.J. Pollock’s solo shot in the ninth inning gave the Diamondbacks a 4-3 victory at San Diego. David Peralta also homered and Daniel Descalso tied it with a solo shot in the eighth inning of the DBacks’ fourth win in five games. Hunter Renfroe provided the Padres’ scoring with a two-run homer and an RBI single.
— The Rockies completed a four-game sweep in Atlanta as German (hur-MAHN’) Marquez allowed two runs and five hits over seven innings of a 4-2 win against the Braves.

Wade Davis gave up a one-out single but had three strikeouts in the ninth for his NL-leading 35th save.
— The Dodgers’ 12-1 dismantling of the Mariners keeps the Dodgers two games off the NL West lead and drops Seattle four games behind the AL West-leading Astros. The M’s did little against Clayton Kershaw, who struck out seven and allowed one run and four hits over seven innings of his 150th career victory. Justin Turner went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer and five RBIs, while Kike (KEE’-kay) Hernandez added a solo shot and three ribbies.
— The Pirates earned a split of their four-game set by topping the Cubs, 2-1 on Adam Frazier’s homer in the bottom of the 10th. Kyle Schwarber opened the scoring with a second-inning homer for the NL Central leaders, but Pittsburgh forced extra innings on Gregory Polanco’s RBI double in the sixth. The Cubs managed just one run in each game of the series, but the split leaves them 3 ½ games ahead of second-place Milwaukee.
— The Brewers avoided a three-game sweep as Jhoulys Chacin (zhoo-LEES’ shah-SEEN’) worked six scoreless innings of a 2-1 victory at St. Louis.

Mike Moustakas (moos-TAH’-kahs) put the Brew Crew ahead to stay with a two-run double in the third.
— Jose Urena gave up just two hits in his first career complete game as the Marlins crushed the Nationals, 12-1. Urena retired his last 16 batters in his first start since appealing his six-game suspension for throwing at Braves rookie Ronald Acuna (ah-KOON’-yuh) Jr. last week. JT Riddle and J.T. Realmuto (ree-al-MOO’-toh) each homered and drove in three runs for Miami, which also received a career-high five hits from Starlin Castro.
— Eugenio (ay-oo-HAY’-nee-oh) Suarez hit a two-run homer while the Reds erupted for seven runs in the third inning of an 11-4 assault on the Giants. Jose Peraza also hit a two-run homer for Cincinnati, which outscored San Francisco 18-5 in the last two games of the series. Billy Hamilton tripled twice and drove in three runs.
— The Red Sox managed just two hits while the Rays homered twice in a 2-0 shutout win at Fenway Park. Jalen Beeks worked four innings against the team that traded him last month for Nathan Eovaldi (eh-VAHL’-dee). Joey Wendle and C.J. Cron homered as the Rays cut Boston’s lead in the AL East to 9 1/2 games over New York.
— Melky Cabrera crushed the Indians’ ninth grand slam and Mike Clevinger pitched six innings of Cleveland’s AL-leading 13th shutout, an 8-0 thumping of the Orioles. Greg Allen added a run-scoring single in the second that extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Yandy Diaz had two RBIs for the Indians, who still lead the AL Central by 12 games over Minnesota.
— Rougned Odor (ROOG’-nehd oh-DOHR’) smacked a go-ahead, three-run homer with rain falling in the seventh inning of the Rangers’ 4-2 victory over the Angels.
