Jamestown, ND (KCSi- T.V. News) — The James River Humane Society continues to receive support from the community in the form of fundraisers.

On Friday’s (Aug 10, 2012) Wayne Byers Show on Csi Cable 2, President, Jennifer Barnard thanked Hugo’s for their fundraiser of having the option to purchase paw prints at the register and some profits of Pepsi going to JRHS.

A thank you also went out to all the members of the local Hog Chapter and Stutsman Harley Davidson for the huge success of the annual Hogs for Dogs event.

She thanked Coborn’s for donating profits from their root beer float stand at Crazy Days…Kemps contributed a portable soda fountain for it.

 Ms Barnard pointed out that donations to the shelter are made from profits from recycling beverage cans and used batteries.

She said just bring them to Gerdau Ameristeel at 1510 10st SE, open M-F 8am-5pm. Just let them know you would like JRHS’s account credited for your drop off.

She pointed out that, Lloyd’s Motors fundraiser for JRHS will be in September, with more details later.

-First Community Credit Union is planning fundraisers in the upcoming months to benefit JRHS.

The shelter now has window clings in with the James River Humane Society’s new logo.

They are $5 and will be sold at the shelter and fundraising events.

She added the shelter continues to appreciate all donated items from community supporters.

Ms. Barnard pointed out that as of Friday there are 18 cats and 12 dogs available for adoption.

For more information on adoption, or how to volunteer, or donate supplies, contact the James River Humane Society at 252-0747.

The shelter is open every day, and is located off the I-94 Bloom Exit.

The shelter is always looking for treats for the animals (especially rawhides), and cleaning items.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota U.S. Senate candidate Rick Berg
has changed a television ad to respond to objections from the YWCA
in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn.
     The ad features the Republican’s role in building a new shelter
for victims of domestic violence.
     In a statement Friday, the YWCA’s board said it can’t get
involved in political campaigns, and the ad made it look like the
group was endorsing Berg.
     The ad features former YWCA board chairwoman Tammy Miller. After
the complaints, the spot had some text added to describe it as a
“personal testimonial.”

The text says the ad is not a YWCA endorsement of Berg.
     In the ad, Miller says Berg was asked to donate to the shelter
project, and he got so interested that he ended up managing it.
    

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Union leaders say they hope American
Crystal Sugar Co. chief executive Dave Berg will reconsider his
decision to skip a community meeting about the company’s extended
worker lockout.
     The meeting is scheduled Aug. 18 at the American Legion hall in
East Grand Forks, Minn. Organizers say it’s open to sugar beet
growers, company shareholders, workers and managers.

It will be moderated by former North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Sarah Vogel.
     About 1,300 Crystal workers have been locked out of their jobs
for more than a year at facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and
Iowa.
     The company imposed the lockout after contract negotiations
broke down.

 Union members have voted three times to reject what the
company says is its final offer.

Union officials say the contract weakens seniority and job security rights.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The board of the YWCA in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., wants North Dakota U.S. Senate candidate Rick Berg to stop showing a television ad that features his role in building a new shelter for victims of domestic violence.
 
     In a statement Friday, the group’s board says the ad is being treated as a YWCA endorsement of the Republican’s Senate campaign.

The statement says the YWCA can’t get involved in politics.
 
     The ad features a former chairwoman of the YWCA board, talking about Berg’s role in establishing a new YWCA shelter for victims of domestic violence. 

 
     The woman says Berg was approached for a donation, and he was so interested that he ended up managing the project.
 
     Berg’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Wheat production in North Dakota is expected to rebound from the flood-plagued 2011.

Durum wheat production is forecast at just under 46 million bushels, an increase of 152 percent.

Winter wheat production is predicted to be 38.5 million bushels, up 177 percent.
 
     USDA also expects big production increases for North Dakota corn, soybeans, barley, oats and dry edible beans.

Sugar beet production is pegged at 5.7 million tons, up 24 percent.
 
     Alfalfa hay is the only crop expected to see a decrease, from 3.6 million tons last year to 2.4 million tons this year.

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot Air Force Base is getting a new air traffic control tower and a new base operations building near the runway.
 
     The project costs about $14.5 million. Construction began in April and is to wrap up next summer.
 
     Deputy base civil engineer Renetta Pearson tells the Minot Daily News that the old structures will be demolished when the new ones are finished.

     OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder says the

     WASHINGTON (AP) – The federal budget deficit increased $70
