The meals contain vegetables, vitamins, rice and soy and are distributed through the Great Plains Food Bank. Meal recipients need only to add water and boil the dried ingredients for 20 minutes. This year\u2019s packing event is set for Saturday, Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at Stutsman Harley-Davidson.<\/p>\n Jamestown Kiwanis past-president and Kids Against Hunger organizer, Janna Bergstedt, says, \u201cWe\u2019re proud of Jamestown and the surrounding communities.

(AP) \u2014 North Dakota’s state-owned flour mill’s annual profit rebounded slightly a year after the Grand Forks factory sustained big losses due to depressed wheat prices.<\/p>\n The mill on Tuesday reported making $9.7 million during its last budget year, which ended in June. That’s up from $9.3 million profit set the prior year.<\/p>\n The mill set a record $16.7 million profit three years ago.<\/p>\n The mill sells most of its flour in bulk to bakery customers. It also sells small bags of flour through grocery stores.<\/p>\n Most of the mill’s profits go into North Dakota’s general fund, which finances a variety of state programs.<\/p>\n The state Industrial Commission is the mill’s board of directors. Its members are Gov. Doug Burgum, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The company that built the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline is suing Greenpeace and other groups, alleging they disseminated false information about the project and interfered with construction.<\/p>\n Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners alleges the groups’ actions interfered with the company’s business, facilitated crimes and acts of terrorism, and violated racketeering and defamation laws.<\/p>\n The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in North Dakota seeks unspecified damages.<\/p>\n A Greenpeace spokesman says the group hasn’t seen the lawsuit and declined to comment.<\/p>\n The 1,200-mile (1930-kilometer) pipeline began moving North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution point in Illinois June 1, after months of delays caused by legal wrangling and on-the-ground protests by tribes and groups that feared environmental harm. Police made 761 arrests in North Dakota between August and February.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Minot man accused of firing a gun at his girlfriend as she fled a mobile home with her young son has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder.<\/p>\n The Minot Daily News reports that James Blue II appeared in district court in Minot on Monday related to incidents at the Northland Trailer Park on Jan. 16-17.<\/p>\n He entered not guilty pleas to 17 felony counts, including reckless endangerment for allegedly firing in the direction of two Minot police officers outside the home. One officer returned fire but missed.<\/p>\n Blue also pleaded not guilty to physically assaulting two paramedics on scene.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal judge has blocked a new North Dakota law meant to protect farm equipment dealers.<\/p>\n Four major manufacturers of farm implements have filed a lawsuit challenging the law that permits North Dakota implement dealers to sell generic rather than name-brand replacement parts. They say the law is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n The order directs state Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to refrain from enforcing the measure until the issue can be resolved.<\/p>\n The complaint was filed by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and manufacturers Agco, CNH, Deere & Company and Kubota. The companies contend the new law interferes with federal right-to-contract and copyright protection claims.<\/p>\n A spokeswoman for Stenehjem’s office says the attorney general does not comment on ongoing lawsuits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota’s Industrial Commission has committed more than $5 million toward research aimed at storing carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants.<\/p>\n The University of North Dakota’s Energy and Environmental Research Center will lead the 14-month study that also will look at cleaner technology to make electricity from the state’s lignite. It also will study whether carbon dioxide could be used to boost oil output in some fields.<\/p>\n State money approved Tuesday from the commission headed by Gov. Doug Burgum comes from North Dakota’s lignite research fund, which is financed by a tax on the abundant but low-grade coal.<\/p>\n The federal government is expected to provide most of the money for the $12.7 million study, with the industry contributing about $1 million.<\/p>\n Carbon dioxide is thought to influence global warming.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Job Service North Dakota Executive Director Cheri Giesen has resigned to pursue other opportunities.<\/p>\n Gov. Doug Burgum announced Giesen’s resignation Tuesday. Her last day on the job will be Sept. 5. After that, state Labor Commissioner Michelle Kommer will handle the Job Service director duties on an interim basis.<\/p>\n Giesen was first appointed to lead Job Service in June 2014 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple. Burgum reappointed her last December to lead the state’s workforce agency, which has about 160 employees and nine regional offices.<\/p>\n Giesen previously worked as Job Service’s information technology manager from 2000-2005.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Rainfall over the past week in drought-plagued North Dakota helped green up pastures and allowed some ranchers to take a second cutting of alfalfa hay.<\/p>\n However, the weekly crop report from the federal Agriculture Department says the moisture also slowed or stopped harvest in much of the state.<\/p>\n About half of the state’s staple spring wheat crop is in the bin, slightly ahead of the average pace. About 39 percent of the crop is rated poor or very poor.<\/p>\n In the ranching community, pasture and range conditions are rated 65 percent poor or very poor. Stock water supplies are 58 percent in those categories.<\/p>\n The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows 82 percent of North Dakota in some stage of drought.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In sports\u2026<\/p>\n Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The James River Figure Skating Club will hold its Fall Open House on Thursday August 31, 2017 from 6-p.m., to 8-p.m., at John L. Wilson Arena, in Jamestown.<\/p>\n Also, Online Registration starts August 31st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
