Jamestown (CSi) The James River Humane Society reports that the fundraiser the “Elvis Christmas” display held recently in Jamestown was successful in the community supporting the shelter.
On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JRHS President, Matt Opsahl said the free will donation admission raised $235 along with donations of cat and dog food, pet toys and kitty litter.
Jack and Betty Gorman of Jamestown hosted the display, Betty said as a way to give back to the shelter after the Gorman’s recently adopted a pet there.
Opsahl reminded pet owners to make sure their animals are safe from the dangerously cold temperatures. Keep them inside as much as possible, to avoid their paw pads from freezing. He said there are de-icers available that are pet safe.
He said to make sure any outdoor animal shelters are well insulated and away from the wind, and keep pets inside vehicle while traveling.
He pointed out that the James River Humane Society currently has 23 cats and 13 dogs available for adoption.
The shelter is always in need of volunteer, and supplies such as bleach, laundry detergent, Lysol and pine-sol.
The shelter is open daily from 9-a.m. to noon and 5:30p.m., to 6:30-p.m., located off the I-94 Bloom Exit.

Jamestown (CSi) Officials with Dakota Spirit AgEnergy say construction is planned to start on 65-million gallon per year, renewable fuels plant, in January 2014.
The plant will be located at the Spiritwood Energy Park, with the plant owned by Great River Energy (GRE).
The plant will purchase about 23 million bushels of corn, producing ethanol, and fuel-grade corn oil used to make biodiesel and distillers grain for livestock feed.
The $155 million plant is expected to employ about 275 during construction and 36 people when it goes on line.
Since groundbreaking in August, officials have been working on fundraising and the final design of the project and the contracting work necessary for a large project.
GRE Vice President of Business Development and strategy, Greg Ridderbusch, says
contracts have been signed with Karges-Faulconbridge Incorportated as project engineer, and McGough Construction as general contractor.
Ridderbusch says the plant would not have become a reality without the assistance of leaders in Jamestown and the community, including the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation, and community farmers.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A Dickinson woman accused of swindling a Billings County man out of more than half a million dollars is headed to trial after a judge rejected a plea agreement.
Cynthia Ell was set to plead guilty to one of 10 counts of felony theft by deception, and be sentenced to between 2 and 5 years in prison. Judge Cynthia Feland rejected the deal Thursday and scheduled a trial March 3-7.
Authorities allege that Ell placed misleading ads in two newspapers last year after opening a medical benefit account at a bank, and ended up swindling a Fairfield man out of about $595,000.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The House of Representatives has left for its holiday break without a new farm bill in place, and that’s frustrating and annoying for North Dakota lawmakers.
But Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp both say they’d rather have no farm bill passed than another short-term extension that takes the pressure off House and Senate negotiators to craft a deal.
Hoeven, a Republican, says the good news is that negotiators are close to a deal.
Before it left on Thursday, the Republican-controlled House approved a short-term extension that would have stretched some provisions of the last farm bill into early next year. But the Democratically controlled Senate has no plans to take up an extension, an approach that both Hoeven and Heitkamp, a Democrat, support.
FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) – Forty-five members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who served as code talkers during World Wars I and II have been honored posthumously for their service.
Family members of the former soldiers were presented Congressional Gold Medals during a ceremony in Fort Yates on Thursday. The medals were first presented at a ceremony last month in Washington, D.C.
Code talkers used their native languages to protect American battlefield secrets during the two world wars. Members of 33 tribes served.
The Standing Rock Sioux Reservation straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s top oil regulator says the state surpassed 941,000 barrels per day in production in October.
State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says that’s an all-time high, increasing by about 1 percent from September.
Helms released the preliminary October figures on Friday.
McKenzie County accounts for 29 percent of the state’s production, and Helms says production there would have been 10,000 to 15,000 barrels per day higher if it weren’t for heavy rains that forced the shutdown of some roads.
North Dakota’s oil patch had a record 9,900 producing wells in October. The state is on pace to surpass 1 million barrels daily early in 2014.
North Dakota is the nation’s No.2 oil producer behind Texas.
MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – The National Park Service has thinned another 46 animals from the elk herd in Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The elk were killed as part of an ongoing plan to keep the herd at a size that is ideal for the western North Dakota park – between 100 and 400 animals. The effort included large reductions in 2010 and 2011 in which nearly 900 elk were killed.
Meat from the animals is donated to American Indian tribes and the Sportsmen Against Hunger Program, which helps food pantries around the state.
Backcountry trails that were closed in the park during the elk thinning over the past month have been reopened.
In world and national news…
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) – A Colorado sheriff says a student who shot two others before apparently killing himself at a Denver-area high school is believed to have acted alone.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson says the shooter entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial on Friday armed with a shotgun and looking for a teacher he identified by name.
Robinson says the teacher immediately left the school when he learned the student was looking for him.
Robinson says the shooter then shot two students, one of whom is in serious condition at a hospital. The other is also hospitalized with a minor gunshot wound.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – Authorities say a Kansas man accused of planning to detonate a car bomb at the Wichita airport has been arrested. They say Terry Loewen was arrested Friday morning at Mid-Continent regional airport. According to a federal prosecutor, the man planned to drive a car that he believed was full of explosives into a terminal at the airport. Investigators say Loewen is an avionics technician who lives in Wichita and works at the airport.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) – He’s accused of faking the sign language interpretation of Nelson Mandela’s memorial service — but that may not be the most serious allegation ever made against a South African man (Thamsanqa Jantjie). The government there says it’s aware of reports that the bogus sign language interpreter once faced a murder charge. Officials are looking into just how he was selected to interpret at the memorial, where he stood close to President Barack Obama and other leaders.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The first major hurdle has emerged to the interim deal reached between Iran and six world powers last month in Geneva aimed at keeping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran is pulling out of talks involving experts from each of the parties involved in the agreement. Iran is protesting a decision by the U.S. to target more than a dozen companies and individuals Thursday for evading sanctions against Iran.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is refusing to talk about any CIA ties of an American who has been missing since a 2007 trip to Iran. An Associated Press investigation has found that retired FBI agent Robert Levinson was a contractor for the CIA, though the U.S. government has said he was on private business when he disappeared. White House press secretary Jay Carney said in response to questions Friday that Levinson was not a U.S. government employee when he went missing, but he wouldn’t comment on whether the man was on contract with the CIA.
AKRON, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio man who fatally shot his ailing wife in her hospital bed has been sentenced to six years in prison. The sentence issued Friday is in line with a prosecutor’s recommendation that John Wise receive a lighter punishment than the minimum 23 years on his most serious conviction, an aggravated murder count. Wise says he shot his debilitated wife out of love in August 2012 after she suffered an aneurysm and appeared to be in pain. Mercy is not a defense to a murder charge in Ohio.
