Update….
The Stutsman County Relay for Life Co-Event Chairs, Chelsey Francis and Amanda Thrift on the Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, said this year goal is to raise $100,000. So far, fundraisers throughout the year have brought in $67,000, so at least $33,000 is needed to reach this year’s goal.
Last year’s goal of $90,000 was reached, so this year another roughly $27,000 would match last year’s total.
A silent auction will be from 2-p.m., to 8-p.m.
They pointed out that on Friday, Jun 10th, volunteers are needed starting at 8-a.m., at UJ’s Taylor Stadium to help with set up of tents, and tables, along with placing luminaries around the track.
Help is also needed in assisting with parking in the stadium lot, and to keep the track and stadium picked up during and after the Relay.
Luminaries are available for purchase through Thursday, at a suggested donation of $10, at Wells Fargo Bank in Downtown Jamestown or from Judy Hager.
Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Relay for Life is Friday June 10 at the University of Jamestown Taylor Stadium .
The Opening Ceremony brings everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff that celebrates the lives of those who have battled cancer and reminds us all that while we are winning this battle, fighting cancer is a year-round priority.
Cancer survivors take the first lap around the track. Cheered on by the other participants and the sound of upbeat music, the Survivors Lap lets all cancer survivors at the event celebrate their victory over cancer.
During the Caregivers Lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a special lap so they can be honored. Caregivers can walk this lap with the person they helped if they are also present.
At the candlelight Luminaria Ceremony we remember loved ones lost to cancer, support people who currently have cancer, and honor people who fought cancer in the past. It’s a powerful part of the event because it provides an opportunity for people to work through grief and find hope.
The Closing Ceremony celebrates what we all just accomplished together. It’s also a time to remember the lives of those lost, and to commit to continuing the fight against this disease over the next year.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – A crash involving two pickup trucks in Morton County killed one of the drivers.
The Highway Patrol says both vehicles were traveling west on Old Highway 10 west of Mandan on Tuesday afternoon. A male from Mandan who was driving a Ford truck entered the eastbound lane and then swerved back into the westbound lane, striking the rear of a Chevrolet pickup.
The Chevy was pushed into a ravine, and the male from New Salem who was driving died at the scene.
The driver of the Ford suffered unspecified injuries. A female passenger in his pickup wasn’t hurt.
The patrol did not immediately release the names or ages of the people involved in the crash.
DILWORTH, Minn. (AP) – A North Dakota sheriff is facing a misdemeanor charge for his role in an altercation at a bar in Minnesota.
Sargent County Sheriff Travis Paeper is charged in Clay County, Minnesota, with disorderly conduct for the May 14 incident at the Red Hen Taphouse in Dilworth.
Paeper says the charge was a surprise.
Court documents say Paeper was sitting at a table with three women who asked him to leave after he said something they didn’t like. One woman said Paeper was “grabby.” Paeper told police that a woman hit him in the face five times for no reason.
Police say Paeper was uncooperative and criticized a Dilworth officer for not “backing a brother in blue.”
Fifty-year-old Karen Beyer, of Moorhead, is also charged with disorderly conduct.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have approved a short crude oil pipeline project in Mountrail County.
The 10-mile pipeline will be able to move up to 1 million gallons per day at full capacity. Cost is estimated at $9 million.
Officials with Houston-based Plains All American Pipeline LP say the project should be completed this summer. It will begin at the company’s Robinson Lake facility and end at the Van Hook rail facility southeast of New Town.
Public Service Commission chairwoman Julie Fedorchak says the project experienced delays because of its proximity to a U.S. Air Force missile silo.
The pipeline will be equipped with a leak detection system and be monitored at all times from a site in Houston.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Ample rain over the past week in North Dakota boosted topsoil moisture and helped with seed germination, but it also drowned out some crops in low-lying areas.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that most of the state received at least an inch of rain. Topsoil moisture supplies are rated 88 percent adequate to surplus, up from 84 percent the previous week.
Nearly all of the state’s spring wheat crop has now emerged. The condition of the crop is rated 84 percent good to excellent.
The planting of potatoes is wrapping up, and nearly half of the crop has already emerged.
Pasture and range conditions are rated 70 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 91 percent adequate to surplus.
MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – Billings County leaders have once again delayed making a decision on whether to approve an $850 million oil refinery about 3 miles from Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Houston-based Meridian Energy Group Inc. says the delay could prevent construction from starting this summer. Meridian plans a 55,000-barrel-per-day refinery between Fryburg and Belfield. It needs zoning approval from the county, along with state permits for such things as air quality.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A prominent venture capitalist touring the United States and Canada this summer looking for good investments says many entrepreneurs in North Dakota are too polite. Paul Singh is approaching the halfway mark of his 34-city trip in a customized travel trailer to listen to hundreds of sales pitches, dole out advice and in many cases write big checks to startup companies.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Although Bernie Sanders is vowing to continue his campaign to the last primary — in the District of Columbia next week — he will be doing so with less manpower. Two people familiar with the plans say about half of Sanders’ campaign staff is being laid off. This, after Hillary Clinton cruised to easy victories in four of the six state contests yesterday, including California.
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) – Thousands of civilians have been fleeing a town in northern Syria. They’re trying to get out of the way of a final push by U.S.-backed forces who want to liberate the town from Islamic State control. The Syrian Democratic Forces have nearly encircled the town, a key stop on an IS supply line between the Turkish border and the extremist group’s de-facto capital. That word comes from an SDF adviser.
MCENTIRE JOINT NATIONAL GUARD BASE, S.C. (AP) – The commander of the South Carolina National Guard says the two pilots who survived a midair collision in Georgia are in good shape and are home with their families. Maj. Gen. Robert Livingston says neither of the planes was carrying bombs or explosives when they went down late Tuesday night in Jefferson County, Georgia.
LONDON (AP) – Tennis star Maria Sharapova (shah-rah-POH’-vah) says she will appeal what she calls an “unfairly harsh” punishment — a two-year suspension for failing a drug test. A tribunal appointed by the International Tennis Federation concluded that she had taken a banned substance with the goal of improving her performance. She tested positive for meldonium in January, after losing to Serena Williams in the Australian Open quarterfinals. The panel found that she hid her use of the substance from anti-doping authorities and from members of her own entourage.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – A new federal rule will require judges in every state to ask whether a child is a Native American during foster-care and adoption proceedings. The rule goes into effect in December as part of the Indian Child Welfare Act – a law passed by Congress intended to reunite Native American families after statistics showed they were broken up at disproportionately high rates.
