Jamestown (CSi) November is National Epilepsy Awareness month, and on Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, we talked with a Jamestown girl, 10 year old Braelon Geerdes who is bringing awareness to National Epilepsy Awareness Month after she was diagnosed with the neurological disorder.
Braelon is a fourth-grader at St. John’s Academy, who was in a music class when she was 9-years old when the teacher noticed Braelon’s face twitching and eyes rolling back.
Also on our show, Braelon’s mom, Tara Geerdes said, following that seizure, Braelon was referred Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo, and a pediatric neurologist, where Braelon had a seizure while undergoing an electroencephalograph, helping doctors localize the activity in the right side of her brain.
Braelon has since be placed on medication, which is helping to control the seizures, but not eliminate them, as she has fewer twitches or seizures and continues to live a normal life, but staying away from contact sports. She does however participate in other sports, with head protection, and is active in other ways, playing the guitar, and the piano, and sings at public events.
Braelon has had a brief and sometimes undetectable absence seizure, which Tara said is a less severe seizure, one of 41 types of seizures. Epilepsy can range in severity from occasional seizures to over 200 a day.
Also on our show, Braelon’s Grandmother, Sharylin Geerdes a nurse at Ave Maria’s Heritage Center in Jamestown, said she is looking to form a Jamestown area support group.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota, is presently serving a portion of North Dakota, offering support to cover expenses with Epilepsy seizure detection devices such as a sleep mat, sleep pillows, and a smartwatch all alerting parents, or in some cases a teacher, of the presence of a seizure.
Braelon said “Team Braelon,” has been formed bringing awareness to Epilepsy in the community, which includes helping with fundraising bake sales, and other public appearances and participation.
Braelon said the team consists of classmates, family, and friends.
Sharylin said “Team Braelon,” will be on hand at a bake sale fundraiser on Saturday November 25, 2017 at the Buffalo Mall.
Also “Team Braelon” will have a purple float in the Jamestown Dazzle Parade, with family and friends, the evening of November 24, through Downtown Jamestown. Purple being the color of epilepsy awareness.
Braelon and others also hand out wrist bands, calling attention to #RiseAboveSeizures, and the website efmn.org
Sharylin pointed out that from the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota, Fargo office, the Regional Coordinator, Janice Tweet, has visited Braelon’s school, St. John’s Academy in Jamestown, to educate the school staff and students about epilepsy.
Tara said as a result, St. John’s Academy is now a “Seizure Smart School.”
On Friday November 17th the University of Jamestown nursing students participated in an epilepsy awareness presentation.
For more information or to arrange a presentation, or learn about starting an epilepsy support group, or make a donation, contact Sharylin Geerdes at 701-320-6441, or Tara Geerdes at 701-799-8922.
Brochures are also available by contacting Sharylin.
The Epilepsy Awareness group is sponsoring a Bake Sale at the vendor show at the Buffalo Mall on Saturday November 25, 2017. Come see the little purple elves from Team Braelon at work. We would welcome and donations of baked items, cracker mixes or anything else you may want to donate for this cause. Cash donations are always welcome. All proceeds will go to the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota/North Dakota and The Chelsea Hutchinson Foundation.
Washington (CSi) – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Transportation Appropriations Committee, has announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has awarded three grants totaling $226,474 for infrastructure funding throughout North Dakota. The awards are distributed as follows:
- North Dakota Department of Transportation – $100,000 – The funds will be used to repair roads and infrastructure throughout the James and Sheyenne River Basins that were damaged by flooding.
- North Dakota Department of Transportation – $100,000 – The funds will be used to repair roads and infrastructure throughout Divide County that were damaged by heavy rain.
- National Park Service, McKenzie, Billings – $26,474 – The funds will be used to reconstruct several Federal Lands Transportation Facilities.
Hoeven says, “Today’s funds will help ensure that roads and transportation facilities in our state can continue to be used safely.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Most of North Dakota remains at least abnormally dry heading into winter.
The Bismarck Tribune reports about 80 percent of North Dakota remains at least abnormally dry, and that isn’t likely to change anytime soon.
National Weather Service hydrologist Allen Schlag in Bismarck says most of North Dakota’s surface soil temperatures are at or below freezing. He says what moisture does come likely will stay on top — if it is doesn’t evaporate.
Schlag says from now until March, the U.S. Drought Monitor map , issued every Thursday, shouldn’t change much from its current pattern.
Divide and Williams counties in northwestern North Dakota are still experiencing severe drought. Parts of Bowman and Sioux counties in southwestern North Dakota are also in severe drought. Meanwhile, the Red River Valley is largely drought-free.
AMHERST, S.D. (AP) — TransCanada Corp. says the company has sent additional crews and equipment to the site of a 210,000-gallon oil spill in South Dakota from its Keystone pipeline.
TransCanada said Saturday it is making progress in its investigation into the spill cause on farmland in Marshall County, near the North Dakota border, about 250 miles (402 kilometers) west of Minneapolis. But the company did not elaborate on the cause. The company says additional equipment and workers continue to be dispatched to the site.
Company spokesman Terry Cunha said Sunday that about 150 people are now at the site. Cunha said a gravel road has been completed to handle heavy equipment.
Crews shut down the pipeline Thursday after discovering the leak.
TransCanada says the leak is under control and there is no significant environmental impact or threat to the public.
Nebraska regulators vote Monday on a proposed Keystone XL route, an expansion that also would be operated by TransCanada.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska regulators are set to decide Monday whether to approve or deny an in-state route for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. It’s the last major regulatory hurdle facing project operator TransCanada Corp.
The Nebraska Public Service Commission’s ruling is on the Nebraska route TransCanada has proposed to complete the $8 billion, 1,179-mile (1,897-kilometer) pipeline to deliver oil from Alberta, Canada, to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. The proposed Keystone XL route would cross parts of Montana, South Dakota and most of Nebraska to Steele City, Nebraska.
A vote in favor of the company’s proposed route through Nebraska would give a boost to the long-delayed project, which was rejected by President Barack Obama in 2015, citing concerns about carbon pollution. President Donald Trump revived it in March, approving a permit.
The project has faced a barrage of criticism from environmental activists and some landowners for nearly a decade. A ruling against the company would cast renewed doubt on the proposal and could lead to another drawn-out legal fight.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — More than 100 protesters gathered Sunday to speak out against the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline before Nebraska regulators issue their ruling on the project.
The protesters gathered on the steps of the state Capitol building in Lincoln on Sunday. The Nebraska Public Service Commission is scheduled to announce its decision on the pipeline’s route on Monday.
Karin Carlson of Omaha says she doesn’t think the pipeline would benefit the state much.
TransCanada proposed the 1,179-mile crude oil pipeline the transport crude oil from Canada south to connect to another pipeline in southern Nebraska.
TransCanada officials have said their preferred route is the most direct way to transport oil and crosses few major bodies of water.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A federal court has ruled against the owner of an airport-based business who sued the city of Minot and its airport manager last year for racial discrimination.
Eva Lucke sued in March 2016, alleging the city and the airport director at the time demanded unfair lease terms because she’s a Latina woman. She maintained that other tenants at the airport’s industrial park received more favorable lease agreements.
The Minot Daily News reports that a judge ruled against Lucke earlier this month, saying she presented no direct evidence of racial discrimination. She has until about the end of the month to appeal.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Trial has been scheduled in early January for a lawsuit that a company filed against the Minot Public School District over unpaid cleanup expenses resulting from the 2011 Souris River flood.
The Minot Daily News reports that a federal jury in Bismarck is scheduled to hear ServPro’s case on Jan. 8.
The school district hired the company to clean up flood-damaged schools. The Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursed all but $1.9 million of the expense.
Minot Public Schools contends Servpro’s owner told the district it wouldn’t charge anything over and above what FEMA paid. ServPro disputes that.
A federal judge ruled in September that the contract had been breached, but he didn’t rule on resulting damages. The two sides held settlement talks, but no settlement was reached.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota could level the playing field between online retailers and brick and mortar businesses should any federal changes to sales tax collection be made.
North Dakota is among several states to join South Dakota in pushing for the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether retailers can be required to collect sales taxes in a state where they’re not physically located.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that if a court ruling is made or federal law passes, North Dakota is ready to act.
The Legislature passed a measure this year that would permit the tax department to immediately require online retailers to collect sales tax, should federal law change to permit it.
The state tax commissioner’s office estimates up to $30 million wasn’t collected in 2012 because online retailers weren’t required to collect sales tax.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota city council is reevaluating how it awards bids for products and services.
The Minot Daily News reports that the city council is debating whether to add a local preference policy to its bidding process.
The issue arose when the council was deciding whether to award a contract for a water softening agent to a local company or a national company that was offering a lower price.
Council member Shaun Sipma says he’s concerned that city will deter outside companies by gaining a reputation of favoring local organizations. Council member Josh Wolsky says the city should try to keep dollars local.
The council decided to hire Lhoist North America, which was the lower bidder, and saved $80,000.
The council plans to continue discussing the local preference policy.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Latavius Murray rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns for Minnesota and the Vikings smothered the NFL’s highest-scoring offense in a 24-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in a matchup of NFC division leaders. Case Keenum completed 27 of 38 passes for 280 yards and no turnovers against the team that benched him last season for first overall draft pick Jared Goff. The Vikings improved to 8-2 with their sixth straight victory. The Rams fell to 7-3 with an end to their four-game winning streak.
The NFL’s best team remains the Eagles after Carson Wentz threw for two touchdowns and three 2-point conversions in Philadelphia’s 37-9 rout of the Cowboys. Wentz went the conversion route after the Eagles lost kicker Jake Elliott to a head injury.
The 9-1 Eagles outscored the Cowboys 30-0 in the second half while extending their winning streak to eight games, their longest since 2003-04.
Dallas QB Dak Prescott threw a career-high three interceptions and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in his second straight loss without suspended running back Ezekiel Elliott.
The Ravens earned their third shutout of the season by forcing five turnovers in a 23-0 rout at Green Bay. Joe Flacco was 22 of 28 passing for 183 yards and a touchdown, but Baltimore’s offense didn’t reach the end zone until he hit Mike Wallace for a TD early in the third quarter. The Ravens evened their record at 5-5 and dealt the 5-5 Packers their first shutout loss in 11 years.
Matt Prater’s 52-yard field goal with 1:35 remaining was the difference as the Lions outlasted the Bears 27-24. Matthew Stafford threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns, but it was his 42-yard drive that set up the winning kick that left Detroit 6-4. The Lions escaped with their third straight win when Connor Barth was wide right on a 46-yarder in the closing seconds, putting Chicago at 3-7.
The Broncos have their first six-game losing streak in 27 years following a 20-17 setback against the Bengals. Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes in helping Cincinnati win at Denver for the first time in 11 tries since 1975. Trailing by a field goal with 1:52 left, the Broncos went three-and-out with Brock Osweiler taking a sack and then firing incomplete to Emmanuel Sanders on fourth-and-4 from his own 26.

GOLF-TOURNAMENTS
UNDATED (AP) — Lexi Thompson won $1 million for the CME Race to the Globe, but she also left a victory and a season honor on the table.
Thompson was poised to win the CME Group Tour Championship and LPGA player of the year until she missed a 2-foot par putt that allowed Ariya Jutanugarn to take a one-shot victory. Jutanugarn birdied her last two holes for a 5-under 67.
Thompson’s loss also cost her the LPGA Player of the Year award. So Yeon Ryu and Sung Hyun Park share the award, with Park becoming the first tour rookie to win it since Nancy Lopez in 1978.
On the PGA Tour, rookie Austin Cook has his first career victory after closing with a 3-under 67 for a four-stroke victory over J.J. Spaun at the RSM Classic in Georgia. Cook birdied three of his last four holes for a 21-under total that also gave him a spot in the Masters next year.
OBIT-NOVOTNA
PRAGUE (AP) — The WTA says 1998 Wimbledon champion Jana Novotna has died at the age of 49 after a long battle with cancer.

During a 14-year professional career, Novotna won 24 singles titles and reached No.2 in the singles rankings.
She won Wimbledon in 1998 for her only singles Grand Slam but also collected 12 doubles and four mixed doubles Grand Slam titles.
Novotna was a three-time Olympic medalist and win the Fed Cup with Czech Republic in 1988
(CNN)Charles Manson, the wild-eyed 1960s cult leader whose followers committed heinous murders that terrorized Los Angeles and shocked the nation, died Sunday of natural causes, according to the California Department of Corrections. He was 83.
Prison officials previously said he had no known next of kin. State law says that if no relative or legal representative surfaces within 10 days, it’s up to the department to determine what happens with the body.
It’s unclear if Manson requested funeral services of any sort.
Manson’s followers killed actress Sharon Tate and six others in 1969. The killings occurred on successive August nights and terrorized the city of Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Associated Press reporter Linda Deutsch remembers covering the murder trial of cult leader Charles Manson and three followers that lasted from 1969 into 1971. Deutsch says Manson was a small man, just over 5-foot-3. But to this day, the name Manson can make people shudder as they recall how he ordered the killings of actress Sharon Tate, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca and four other people.
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe’s state-run broadcaster says ruling party members are summoned to a meeting Monday afternoon as talk of impeaching longtime President Robert Mugabe continues. Mugabe ignored a midday deadline by the party’s Central Committee to resign. He now faces impeachment when Parliament resumes Tuesday. Meanwhile, government ministers are being urged to go about their work as usual as the political confusion continues.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says it’s willing to strike a health-care provision from the Senate tax-cut bill if the provision becomes an impediment to passing one of President Donald Trump’s top priorities. The provision would repeal a requirement that everyone in the U.S. have health insurance or pay a fine. Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, whose vote the White House needs, says the health care issue should be dealt with separately.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Washington may not have seen the last of “The Mooch.” Anthony Scaramucci, the short-lived White House communications chief who was forced out after just 11 days on the job, says he remains in close touch with the White House. In an interview, Scaramucci has told The Associated Press that although he has not spoken to Donald Trump in over a month, he talks to the president’s inner circle “regularly” and considers himself a media “surrogate” for the administration.
