Jamestown (CSi) The Daily Bread program in Jamestown will supply 22 people over the age of 60 in need of food assistance, with 60 pounds of food per applicant on Tuesday, through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program.
The food is designated for March applicants.
Board member and Ave Maria Village Deacon Tom Geffre, says applicants who apply for food through the CSFP, a federally-funded program through the Great Plains Food Bank in Fargo, could be eligible to receive a box of shelf-stable foods every other month to successful applicants 60 years and older who have a limited income.
The first shipment of food for the program will be arriving at the Salvation Army on Tuesday morning.
The Daily Bread program has supplied food to individuals in need by retrieving unserved food from a variety of sources.
Those include, Jamestown Regional Medical Center, the University of Jamestown and several local restaurants, as the frozen food is redistributed to different locations for anybody to take.
Daily Bread has freezers at several schools, the James River Senior/Community Center and at Ave Maria Village.
Food is also distributed through the Jamestown’s Salvation Army and Community Action Region VI.
The Great Plains Food Bank is now taking applications, for the June distribution, which can be picked up at the James River Senior/Community Center, the Gardenette or from Jamestown area pastors.
Food items that successful applicants receive through CSFP include cereal, canned vegetables, peanut butter, canned fruit, shelf-stable milk, canned meat, cheese and fruit juice.
The Salvation Army food pantry is also available Monday through Friday, except Wednesdays, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 4 p.m.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) – Jamestown police are warning residents and businesses about counterfeit money circulating in the city.
Authorities are investigating five instances of bogus bills being passed, in denominations of $5, $50 and $100. One business received 17 fake $100 bills.
Police Sgt. Thomas Nagel says the bills all are of poor quality, and authorities think they were made by the same person or people.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston police are investigating the shooting of a woman in a recreational vehicle park.
Authorities say the woman was treated at a local hospital after the incident about 2 a.m. Wednesday and released.
A 36-year-old woman from Indiana was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment and unlawful discharge of a firearm in city limits. Formal charges were pending.
Police did not immediate release more details on the shooting.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A 45-year-old Bismarck woman might be in trouble with the law after pulling an April Fools’ Day prank that didn’t end well.
Police say the woman called her 24-year-old daughter on Wednesday and told her that her house was on fire. The daughter immediately hung up and called 911.
By the time the mother informed the daughter it was just a prank, a fire truck and two police cars had arrived at her home and several more emergency vehicles were on the way.
The mother was not arrested, but the case has been turned over to the city attorney for review.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Archers from Hankinson and Wahpeton took top honors at the annual state archery tournament in Minot.
Hankinson repeated as the high school champion, and Wahpeton repeated as middle school champion at the recent North Dakota National Archery in the Schools Program state tournament. Hankinson also won the elementary school division.
The state Game and Fish Department says all three teams and the top 10 individual archers advance to the national tournament next month in Louisville, Kentucky.
Nearly 550 archers registered to compete in the state tournament held late last month. Overall male and female winners were Spencer Brockman of North Sargent and defending champion Lisa Buckhaus of Hankinson.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Frank Kaminsky, the 7-footer who anchored Wisconsin’s run to a second straight Final Four, is the runaway choice as The Associated Press’ player of the year.
Kaminsky averaged 18.7 points and 8.0 rebounds while shooting 54.9 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from 3-point range as the Badgers ran up a 35-3 record and won the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles.
“Frank the Tank”‘ is the first Wisconsin player to win the award, which started in 1961. He is the third from the Big Ten in the last six seasons, joining Ohio State’s Evan Turner in 2010 and Michigan’s Trey Burke in 2013.
Kaminsky received 58 votes Friday from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor received five votes and Kentucky’s Wille Caulaey-Stein and Notre Dame’s Jerian Grant had one each.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – John Calipari, whose Kentucky team is the first in 24 years to reach the Final Four undefeated, has been selected The Associated Press’ coach of the year.
The Wildcats were the talk of the college basketball this season in winning the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament championships. They were ranked No. 1 the entire season and were a unanimous choice for 12 weeks.
Many thought Kentucky had so much talent that it would be hard to instill a team-first attitude. Calipari started the season with two five-man units he substituted in groups. It worked well enough that eight players in the rotation are averaging between 5.6 and 11.0 points a game.
Calipari is the third Kentucky coach to win the award, which started in 1967. Eddie Sutton won in 1986 and Tubby Smith in 2003.
Calipari received 40 votes Friday from the 65-member national media panel that picks the weekly Top 25.
Tony Bennett of Virginia was second with nine votes while Mike Brey of Notre Dame got five.
In world and national news…
GARISSA, Kenya (AP) – Kenyans are accusing their government of not doing enough to prevent Thursday’s massacre of 148 people at a college in northeastern Kenya by a group of Islamic extremists. The attack came six days after Britain advised against “all but essential travel” to parts of Kenya, including the area where the attack took place. But one day before the attack, the country’s president dismissed the warning — as well as one in Australia — saying, “Kenya is as safe as any country in the world.”
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – A Philadelphia woman accused of trying to martyr herself for the Islamic State group in Syria has been ordered held until a detention hearing next week. Keonna Thomas appeared in federal court Friday afternoon just hours after her arrest on a charge of attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. A prosecutor says a search warrant executed a week ago at her home prevented her from leaving the country on a flight scheduled for last weekend. The government says it will seek to have her held without bail at her hearing Wednesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Some economists are saying that one reason the March jobs report looks so bleak is that hiring had been so strong earlier. Patrick O’Keefe of the consulting firm Cohn Reznick says employers “aren’t laying people off” — they’re just slowing their pace of hiring “until they have more confidence.” For the first time since December of 2013, fewer than 200,000 jobs were added. The sub-par jobs growth could make the Federal Reserve less likely to start raising interest rates from record lows in June, as some have been anticipating.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Nearly 200 firefighters have been battling a fire at General Electric’s Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, shutting down production at the sprawling manufacturing center that employs thousands. The fire began Friday morning in a nonproduction building, creating huge columns of smoke. A GE spokeswoman says there aren’t any known injuries.
BEATTYVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A mother and child remain missing hours after their car was swept into a flooded creek in eastern Kentucky. Police say the woman and child were stranded in their vehicle in high water around 9:30 a.m. on a rural highway in Lee County. Around 11:30 a.m., the car was swept away and rescue workers lost sight of them. The Lexington Fire Department sent a swift-water recovery team to assist with the search.
