Jamestown (Chamber) The Ag Woman of the Year Award was presented to Becky Reich for her hardwork and leadership among the regional farming community.
Her nomination letter read, “Becky is a hard-working motivated woman looking to enhance their operation further. She took over the farm after her husband, Alvin passed back in 2015. She has converted it from a dairy operation to a 275 head beef operation. Switching over to a beef operation is no easy task. Many miles of pasture fence were replaced along with cross fencing, pipelines and water tanks installed out in the pastures. Windbreak/ shelterbelts have been established, cover crops have been planted, and a grazing system has been installed. I believe she will be a great candidate for this award, with everything she is doing on the farm. These practices will not only enhance the ground but make her a better steward in managing the land. Becky has 8 children: Hannah, Adam, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Caleb, Phillip, Eva, and Abigail.”
The Chamber AgEnergy Committee extends our congratulations to Becky, and thank you for being a woman leader in the farming industry!
For more information on this award and how to nominate a woman in the ag industry, please contact the chamber at 701-252-4830 or email director@jamestownchamber.com.
Jamestown (NDFU) – North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne made the following statement today on President Joe Biden’s executive order addressing monopolies and concentrated markets in the U.S. economy. The order includes 72 initiatives that will strengthen antitrust enforcement, protect livestock producers from abusive practices, improve food labeling schemes, lower rail freight costs, and create new market opportunities for farmers and ranchers.

For decades, Farmers Union has called for action on these issues. We’re happy to see movement toward fixing inequities in the marketplace.
“We need competitive markets, plain and simple. We can’t afford to stand by as big monopolies continue posting record profits while farmers and ranchers go out of business. Farmers Union will always fight for fair markets.”

Bismarck police in December started investigating an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship between a teenage girl and a man later identified as 31-year-old Perry Toineeta.

NBA FINALS..
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Bucks gave up an absurd number of 3-pointers while dropping the first two games of the NBA Finals. They seemed to figure things out.
The Bucks held the Suns to 9-for-31 shooting from beyond the arc in earning a 120-100 win over Phoenix in Game 3. Devin Booker shot 3-for-14 overall and 1-for-7 from beyond the arc after draining seven of his 12 long-range attempts in Game 2. Booker finished with 10 points and Cameron Payne was held to seven on 3 of 10 from the field.
The Suns led by three until the Bucks outscored them, 35-17 in the second quarter. Phoenix eventually whittled its deficit to four, but Milwaukee closed the third period with 16 straight points to go up by 20.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (YAH’-nihs an-teh-toh-KOON’-poh) shredded through the Suns with 41 points on 14 of 23 shooting. Antetokounmpo also was 13 of 17 from the line, grabbed 13 rebounds and had six assists.
Jrue (jroo) Holiday finished with 21 points and Khris Middleton had 18 after both experienced shooting woes in Game 2 on Thursday.
Chris Paul had a team-high 19 points for the Suns, one more than Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton. Crowder was 6-for-7 from beyond the arc.
The series stays in Milwaukee for Game 4 on Wednesday.

Davis, Leiter go 1-2 in draft
UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates went for a college catcher with the first pick in the Major League draft.

Davis batted .370 and led the Cardinals with 15 homers, and his .482 on-base percentage was best in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Rangers grabbed Vanderbilt’s Jack Leiter (LY’-tur) with the second pick, landing a right-hander with a mid-90s fastball and two overpowering breaking pitches.
The son of former big league All-Star pitcher Al Leiter has a repertoire that could play near the top of a big league rotation. He was 11-4 with a 2.13 ERA and 179 strikeouts in 110 innings for the Commodores.
The Tigers used the third pick to take high school pitcher Jackson Jobe. The Red Sox took high school shortstop Marcello Mayer with the fourth selection, one spot before the Orioles chose Sam Houston outfielder Colton Cowser.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will host city leaders from around the country to talk about reducing crime. Joining the group Monday is New York’s likely next mayor, Democrat Eric Adams, currently the Brooklyn borough president. Also set to attend are the mayors of Washington, D.C., and San Jose, California. Two people familiar with the plans described the meeting to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Shootings and killings are up around the nation, with local politicians and police struggling to manage the violence that has ballooned since the coronavirus pandemic.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pfizer says it plans to meet Monday with top U.S. health officials to discuss the drugmaker’s request for federal authorization of a third dose of its COVID-19 vaccine. President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser is acknowledging “it is entirely conceivable, maybe likely” that booster shots will be needed in the coming months. Last week, Pfizer asserted booster shots would be needed within 12 months, drawing a rebuttal from U.S. health officials saying booster shots were not needed “at this time.” While Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t ruling out the possibility, he says it’s too soon for the government to recommend another shot.
DETROIT (AP) — A federal judge is considering whether to order financial penalties and other sanctions against some of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers. They had signed onto a lawsuit last year challenging Michigan’s election results. The lawsuit alleging fraud was voluntarily dropped after a judge found nothing but “speculation and conjecture” that votes for Trump somehow were destroyed. Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the city of Detroit and other officials now want the plaintiffs and their lawyers to face the consequences of pursuing what they call frivolous claims. They include Trump lawyer-allies Sidney Powell of Dallas and L. Lin Wood of Atlanta. Judge Linda Parker in Detroit is holding a hearing by videoconference Monday.
BEIJING (AP) — European markets have opened lower after Asian stocks advanced, tracking fresh highs on Wall Street. Investors are looking ahead to U.S. corporate earnings reports. London and Frankfurt declined while Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong advanced. Wall Street futures were lower after the benchmark S&P 500 index ended up 0.4% for the week. Investors appeared to shrug off concern about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus. Major U.S. banks are due to report earnings this week as companies start reporting quarterly results.
Firefighters working in searing heat struggled to contain the largest wildfire in California this year while state power operators urged people to conserve energy after a huge wildfire in neighboring Oregon disrupted the flow of electricity from three major transmission lines. A large swath of the West baked during the weekend in triple-digit temperatures that were expected to continue into the start of the work week. Managers of California’s power grid issued a five-hour ”flex alert” starting at 4 p.m. Monday and asked consumers to “conserve as much electricity as possible” to avoid outages. California’s largest fire is burning near the Nevada border north of Lake Tahoe and grew by a third on Sunday.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The latest suspect detained in Haiti amid the search for the masterminds and assassins in the killing of President Jovenel Moïse is a Haitian in his 60s living in Florida who identifies himself as a doctor and has accused the leaders of his homeland of corruption. Police identified the man Sunday night as Christian Emmanuel Sanon and said Moïse’s alleged killers were protecting him as the supposed president of Haiti. The head of Haiti’s police accused Sanon of working with those who plotted and participated in Moïse’s killing, but gave no information on the purported masterminds. The police chief says Haitian authorities obtained the information from interrogations and other parts of the investigation.

Some 31 people remain missing. Crews continued to search the remaining pile of rubble, peeling layer after layer of debris in search of bodies.
