Jamestown  (CSi/JRMC) Jamestown Regional Medical Center, asks:  “Coverage conundrums got you confused?”  To know your insurance rights, attend the JRMC U Forum regarding health insurance. The event is set for 11:15 a.m., Thursday, November 10, 2016.

The health insurance market is complex and can be confusing. Jamestown Regional Medical Center wants to help residents better understand their policies. Prior to or after a hospital visit, families sometimes face unexpected financial bills.

The session includes a short presentation from Alison Kennison, JRMC’s patient financial services manager. Kennison and her patient access team can help residents understand their current plans. The patient access team also helps residents understand what other resources might be available to help cover the cost of care.

She says, “The goal is to help individuals understand their insurance policy before they face unexpected expenses. We want to help before tragedy strikes a person or family.”

If residents want to make a change to their coverage, they have until their enrollment deadline to make changes. Enrollment dates vary, but for most plans, the deadline is around Thanksgiving.

Kennison says she and her team have experienced tough conversations with people who’ve gotten sick or injured and then are unprepared.

She adds, “These conversations are heartbreaking. Residents purchased insurance and think they’re covered. But they don’t realize that in many cases, they have to pay a deductible before the insurance kicks in. Deductibles can vary from $250 to $10,000. That’s a lot of money, especially when you or a loved one is sick.”

After the presentation, Kennison and other community insurance professionals will be on hand to answer questions in a private, case-by-case setting. The event begins at 11:15 a.m. at the Legacy Center, 419 5th St NE (the old Jamestown Hospital). It is free and open to the public. For more information, call Kennison at 952-4556.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Authorities are seeking a man believed to have shot two people outside of a Minot bar over the weekend.

Police have issued an arrest warrant for 25-year-old Steven Stewart on charges of attempted murder and reckless endangerment.

Stewart is accused of shooting 25-year-old and 41-year-old men with a semi-automatic rifle in the parking lot of Sports on Tap early Saturday. Authorities believe only one of the men was an intended target, and the other was a bystander.

Both men were hospitalized in stable condition.

Police also are seeking for questioning a 24-year-old woman they believe might be with Stewart. Stewart also faces felony drug charges in North Dakota.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Latest on protesters trying to halt construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota

A legislative committee will review an emergency request to borrow more money from the Bank of North Dakota to cover the cost of law enforcement related to the protest of the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The state’s Emergency Commission, headed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple, will vote Tuesday on whether to borrow $4 million from the state-owned bank.

The panel borrowed $6 million from the bank in September and officials say that money already has been used to cover law enforcement costs.

North Dakota officials have asked federal officials to reimburse the state for the additional law enforcement costs.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Plaza man who became known as the “Flying Farmer” for his car stunts during the 1990s and early 2000s made a successful jump out of retirement.

The Minot Daily News reports that John Smith on Sunday got into his 1982 Chevrolet Caprice and soared over a burning mobile home, to the cheers of the crowd that had gathered.

Smith hadn’t jumped a car in more than 13 years. He reported only minor soreness after landing.

Smith also set a couple of Guinness world records for driving in reverse in the 1990s and early 2000s.

 

In sports…

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota wildlife officials say they have no plans to shut down any deer hunting units because of the Dakota Access pipeline protest.

The deer gun season officially opens at noon Friday. Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand tells The Associated Press that his office has received calls from hunters wondering if they can still hunt in and around the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

Steinwand says hunters should be “quite a ways away” from the main protest camp. He doesn’t expect any issues as long as people are careful and courteous.

Law enforcement officials say Highway 1806 is shut down between the Fort Rice campground and Backwater Bridge, but hunters should be able to move freely through the rest of the area.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

CHICAGO (AP) — Jay Cutler threw for 252 yards and a touchdown after missing five games with a thumb injury, rookie Jordan Howard ran for a career-high 153 yards and a TD, and the Chicago Bears stunned the Minnesota Vikings 20-10 on Monday night.

The Bears (2-6) sacked Sam Bradford five times while handing the NFC North-leading Vikings (5-2) their second straight loss.

Cutler was on target in his return from a sprained right thumb. Howard easily surpassed his previous high of 118 yards. Alshon Jeffery got his first touchdown reception of the season, and Chicago outgained Minnesota 403 yards to 258.

Cutler had not played since he exited against Philadelphia in the second game of the season. But with his future up in the air after coach John Fox wavered in his commitment to him as the starter, he made a triumphant return.

Cutler completed 20 of 31 passes, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jeffery early in the third that made it 20-3. Whether he quieted fans who thought the Bears were better off with Brian Hoyer is another issue. But that became a moot point when Hoyer broke his left arm last week in a Thursday night loss at Green Bay.

Howard had a 69-yard run, the longest for Chicago in seven years. Zach Miller added 88 yards receiving as the Bears stopped a three-game losing streak.

The Vikings face division rival Detroit for the first time this season when they host the Lions on Sunday.

 

OFFICIAL INJURED

Head linesman Ed Walker was taken from the field on a cart after he slipped on the Soldier Field grass in the first quarter. Walker was injured running down the Vikings’ sideline as the Bears punted. His legs buckled, and he was tended to for several minutes by medical personnel before being placed on the cart.

 

TIMBERWOLVES…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves say Ricky Rubio will be out indefinitely with a sprained right elbow.

The team announced late Monday night that an MRI exam revealed a sprain and no break. That means he is not expected to miss extended time with the injury, but will not be ready for the team’s home opener on Tuesday night.

Rubio was injured in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s loss to the Sacramento Kings. Rubio is an integral part of a young Wolves team trying to end a 12-year playoff drought. His veteran leadership, passing and defense are needed on a team that has started the season 0-2.

Rookie Kris Dunn will start for Rubio on Tuesday night against Memphis.

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed big man Gorgui Dieng to a contract extension.

The team announced the move on Monday. A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press it is worth $64 million over four years, starting next season. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not release contract terms.

 

NBA-THUNDER…

 

UNDATED (AP)— A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to terms on a four-year, $84 million contract with Victor Oladipo (oh-luh-DEE’-poh). The guard came to the Thunder in a trade with the Magic this summer, one that sent Serge Ibaka (ih-BAH’-kah) to Orlando.

 

WORLD SERIES…

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians came up short in their first chance to wrap up their first World Series title since 1948.

The good news is that they get two shots at doing it in front of their home fans.

Game 6 of the World Series is set for Cleveland Tuesday night after the Cubs stayed alive with a Game 5 win. Game 7 will be played near the Cuyahoga River, too, if it’s necessary.

Jake Arrieta (ar-ee-EH’-tuh) will take the mound Tuesday at Progressive Field, where he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of a Game 2 Chicago win. The Indians will counter with Josh Tomlin, who pitched 4 2-3 solid innings in Cleveland’s 1-0 shutout at Wrigley Field in Game 3.

 

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-T25 POLL..

UNDATED (AP) — Duke is the runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason college basketball poll.

The Blue Devils claimed 58 of 65 first-place votes to take preseason honors for the eighth time. Duke returns three starters from last season’s team and has what is considered one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.

Second-ranked Kentucky took a pair of first-place votes to sit just ahead of Kansas. Defending-champion Villanova is fourth after claiming four No. 1 votes.

Fifth-ranked Oregon is followed by North Carolina, Xavier, Virginia, Wisconsin and Arizona.
