Valley City (WDAY) – A candidate for Barnes County State’s Attorney said she’s shocked and angry after opening a package mailed to her home that was filled with feces.
Lilie Schoenack tracked the package, an found it came through a legitimate website, that allows individuals to send feces filled packages to people. The site makes senders promise it’s just a “gag gift” and not being used to harass or threaten anyone.
But with the election just five days away, this candidate isn’t laughing, she said she felt both harassed and threatened.
Schoenack tells WDAY, “There’s no reason whatsoever to believe it’s anything but that, so it’s just troubling to me that people are capable of this. It’s just sort of a metaphor or symbol of the way this whole election has gone.”
She’ll consider pursuing legal action with a U.S. state attorney.
Schoenack is being opposed in the State’s Attorney’s race by Tonya Duffy.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Kiwanis Club is excited to be holding their eighth food packing event for Kids Against Hunger and look forward to the opportunity to feed starving families across the region. Since the Kiwanis Club started the project they have packed over 1.1 million meals for those in need.
Once again, they are partnering with the Great Plains Food Bank to distribute the meals to those in need across North Dakota and parts of Western Minnesota. In 2017 Great Plains Food Bank used up their donation of 100,000 meals within six months.
Jamestown Kiwanis Club board member, Tim Perkins says, “Food stamps only go so far. We do this for the kids. Every year, when we talk about hungry children, Kiwanis says ‘we won’t stand for that.’ And every year, the community supports us. Jamestown is a kind and generous community.”
On a recent, Wayne Byers Show, on CSi Cable 2, Jamestown Kiwanis Club member Michelle Watne said, the next packing event is Saturday, November 3, from 9-a.m., to 12-noon, at Stutsman Harley Davidson in Jamestown, with the goal to pack another 80,000 meals. Each meal costs only 25¢, so gifts small or large make a big difference.
The meals of soy, rice, dehydrate vegetables, containing 21 essential vitamins are distributed throughout North Dakota and Minnesota through the Great Plains Food Bank.
Families need only to add boiling water to make the meal.
Donations can be made at First Community Credit Union, on the Jamestown Kiwanis Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/JamestownKiwanis or email JamestownKiwnais@gmail.com. www.gofundme.com/kids-against-hunger-2018, or directly to any Kiwanis member.
The Kiwanis greatly appreciates donation, and so will the families that you’re helping to feed.
Those unable to donate funds for the food, may consider donating their time. Approximately 300 volunteers will be needed to help package the meals.
The Kiwanis Club thanks Stutsman Harley Davidson for sharing their space with for the packaging event, yet again. AND to those that have already generously donated or volunteered to feed hungry families.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo woman is charged with child neglect after authorities say she left her baby alone in a hot SUV while she shopped.
Court documents accuse Clara Nissko of leaving the child for 20 minutes in 84-degree weather in September while she was in Walmart in Fargo.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden kicked off Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s final statewide campaign tour Thursday in a whisper instead of his usual fiery tone, making a quiet call for civility that was accentuated by laryngitis.
Biden’s first order of business in front of a few hundred people at the Fargo Air Museum was to apologize for his hushed delivery. He then proceeded to outline countrywide problems that he said have been worsened by the “lack of dignity in the national dialogue.”
Biden said, Heitkamp has remarkable courage and fierce independence and is needed in Washington to help foster bipartisanship
Heitkamp and a number of democratic candidates stopped by the Jamestown Civic Center Thursday evening. Joining the speakers was former Senator, Kent Conrad, and former Congressman Earl Pomeroy.
Heitkamp, who is seen as trailing in her re-election campaign against Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer, plans more than 20 stops in towns across North Dakota. The five-day trip is being billed as the “Bring it Home Heidi” tour.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday denied a request from an American Indian tribe in North Dakota to block the state’s voter ID law just days before the election.
North Dakota’s law requires voters to show ID with a residential street address, which American Indians have argued is not always evident on reservations.
The Spirit Lake Sioux tribe sued the state Tuesday seeking a temporary restraining order, saying the street address requirement is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland wrote that the allegations gave him “great cause for concern” but that he was denying the motion because it would cause confusion so close to the election.
“The federal courts are unanimous in their judgment that it is highly important to preserve the status quo when elections are fast approaching,” Hovland wrote.
The state maintains everyone has a street address via the statewide 911 system, but the lawsuit filed by the Native American Rights Fund, the Campaign Legal Center and two law firms argues the system is “incomplete, contradictory and prone to error on reservations.”

Jamestown’s season ends with an overall record of 7-8-2. Morningside, now 12-5-1 overall, advance to the semifinals and will face Briar Cliff (Iowa) on Tuesday, November 6.

In the 56th minute, Ruben Zepeda (SO/Puebla, Mexico) had a chance to go for goal, but his shot was saved by Tim Erdmann. Alex Castillo (SO/Mesa, Ariz.) had a chance to get UJ on the board in the 87th, but his header hit the post. Over the final three-and-a-half minutes, the Jimmies tallied four more shots but could not find a goal.
Shots ended 23-20 in favor of Jamestown while shots on goal were 9-8, Morningside.
Jake Askew (JR/Rotherham, England) had five saves for the Jimmies.

JR Smith wants trade

The 33-year-old guard didn’t play in Tuesday night’s win over Atlanta, the Cavs’ first game since coach Tyronn Lue was fired. The Cavs are rebuilding with a young roster, and Smith is one of just three players left from Cleveland’s 2016 title team.

Cubs’ Heyward, Giants’ Melancon keep contracts
NEW YORK (AP) — Jason Heyward and Mark Melancon (meh-LAN’-suhn) know a good deal when they see one. The Cubs outfielder and the Giants reliever have let the deadline pass for exercising opt-out provisions in their contracts.

Melancon is owed $28 over the next two seasons. Originally signed to be the Giants’ closer, the three-time All-Star lost that role in 2017 and was 1-4 with three saves and a 3.23 ERA in 41 appearances last season.
