Jamestown (Katie Ryan-Anderson-JRMC) — The No Excuses program may have saved the life of one Jamestown woman.
A widow and mother of four sons, Brenda Skavroneck delayed obtaining her regular Pap test and mammogram because she couldn’t afford it. She promised herself, and her children, she’d somehow budget for a physical in sometime 2018. That’s when she noticed an ad for No Excuses on Facebook.
No Excuses removes any barrier women have to receive preventative screenings. The event is a partnership between JRMC and Central Valley Health District. The organizations offered evening appointments, childcare and transportation along with funding from a variety of sources on Nov. 2-3. The goal of No Excuses is to help women who are underinsured and uninsured pay for mammograms and Pap tests.
“R.M. Stoudt is a big reason No Excuses exists,” said Lisa Jackson, JRMC Foundation Director. “The money from the annual Running of the Pink event inspired the program. That money, and the Women’s Way program through Central Valley Health helps pay for screening services.”
Skavroneck knows first hand what can happen when cancer is not caught early. Her husband, David Skavroneck, died in 2010 after Lymphoma spread through his body. David’s family has a predisposition to the disease. He didn’t get screened until it was too late, Brenda said.
That weighed on Skavroneck, especially because she knew something wasn’t right with her own body. For two years, she’d endured menstrual cycles that were so heavy and painful she couldn’t leave the house some days.
That’s why Skavroneck wasn’t surprised when the results from her mammogram and Pap test came back. Dr. Bailey Runkles, JRMC’s gynecologist & obstetrician had discovered pre-cancerous polyps. Even though Skavroneck said she knew something was wrong, the news still wasn’t easy to take.
“I went home and just cried,” she said.
This year, more than 20 women participated in No Excuses. Twenty-one received 3D Mammograms and 12 received women’s exams with Dr. Runkles.
One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, according to the National Cancer Institute.
“That’s someone’s mother, daughter or wife,” Dr. Runkles said, “The good news is, if we catch this cancer, we can treat and cure it.”
Pap tests are equally as important, she said. Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death in developing nations. The disease is still prevalent in the U.S, Dr. Runkles said. However, the difference is, doctors can screen for it here and women should take advantage of that.
“We want to break down any barriers women have to get the screenings they need,” Dr. Runkles said.
Skavroneck agreed. She is passionate about preventative screenings. She feels strongly that what happened to her husband doesn’t have to happen to others.
“Not only does cancer hurt the one who has it, but also the ones who love the person hurting. So when David was diagnosed, so were we,” she said. “Don’t procrastinate.”
Last year, 14 women received 3D Mammograms as part of No Excuses.
“It’s hard for some to believe, but there’s a huge need for this,” said Robin Iszler, unit administrator at Central Valley Health. “Many of these women could not have received these screenings without the support of Women’s Way and the JRMC Foundation.”
Nearly 33 percent of Stutsman County women reported not receiving a mammogram in the last two years. That’s lower than the state average in which only about 25 percent of women reported that they had not received a mammogram within the last two years.
In addition to women from Stutsman County, women from surrounding counties participated as well.
“That’s encouraging,” Iszler. “It’s tough for rural women to justify the time and travel for these appointments.”
Skavroneck said she’s scheduled for further testing in December. Whatever the results, she said she feels grateful.
“Everyday I wake up, I’m blessed to be here for my kids,” she said. “No Excuses is such a blessing.”
And while No Excuses is over, it’s important to remember that financial assistance is still available through Women’s Way and the JRMC Foundation, she said.
“Together, we have you covered,” Jackson said. “If women do have cancer, their options – and quality of life – are so much better if they catch it early.”

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Grand Forks police are looking for two men who robbed a pizza shop at gunpoint.
Authorities say the men entered the Little Caesars Pizza business shortly after 10 p.m. Monday, showed a handgun and made off with an undetermined amount of cash.
KNOX radio reports that none of the three employees in the building was hurt.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota man has been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for stealing $2 million from investors hoping to make money off North Dakota’s oil boom.
A federal judge sentenced 51-year-old Ronald David Johnson of Corcoran on Monday. A jury in June found Johnson guilty of wire fraud and money laundering.
Prosecutors said Johnson came up with an investment idea to house oil workers in the Bakken in North Dakota and Montana. The idea would allow oil workers to park their recreational vehicles in warehouses and share laundry and vending machines.
Instead of using the money for RV parks, Johnson used the money to fund his cattle farm, take vacations, buy vintage Chevrolets and purchase real estate, including a 17-acre island on Mink Lake in Maple Lake, Minnesota.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The U.S. State Department is looking into whether Nebraska’s approval of a modified route for the Keystone XL pipeline will affect the federal permit that pipeline developer TransCanada received in March.
A State Department spokeswoman said Monday that the agency was aware of the Nebraska Public Service Commission’s decision and was trying to get more information about it.
President Donald Trump approved the presidential permit for the pipeline in March and hailed it as “incredible.” Federal approval was required because the pipeline would cross the U.S. border from Canada to Phillips County, Montana.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Farm Bureau President Daryl Lies has been re-elected to another two-year term.
Delegates to the organization’s recent 75th annual meeting in Fargo re-elected the Douglas farmer to the top post, and elected Dana Kaldor of Hillsboro as vice president.
Lies and his wife, Kim, raise hogs, sheep and goats, with an emphasis on show animals. Kaldor and his wife, Dawn, raise soybeans, corn and wheat on their farm.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — An Oregon man goes on trial in Montana Tuesday in the latest criminal prosecution against activists who sought to call attention to climate change by shutting down oil pipelines in four states.
Sixty-five-year-old Leonard Higgins of Portland is charged with criminal mischief and trespassing.
He told The Associated Press that he wants to tell jurors his closure of a Spectra Energy pipeline valve in north-central Montana in October 2016 was necessary because climate change is an emergency and can’t be ignored.
But District Judge Daniel Boucher (boo-SHAY’) says he won’t allow Higgins to place U.S. energy policy on trial. He ruled testimony on climate change is irrelevant.
Activists in a parallel case in Minnesota convinced a judge to let them present arguments that the threat of climate change justifies extreme action.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A good presidential turkey is stuffed with showmanship.
A Minnesota turkey farmer and 4-H kids raised the official National Thanksgiving Turkey that will be pardoned by President Donald Trump on Tuesday. They say the turkey needs to strut his stuff and gobble on command, yet show enough restraint to stay on a table for the big photo op.
It’s the 70th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey tradition. It dates from 1947, when the National Turkey Federation presented a 47-pound gobbler to President Harry Truman. In those days, the turkeys were destined for dinner. Formal pardons began with President George H.W. Bush in 1989.
The perk of taking presidential turkeys to Washington goes to the chairman of the National Turkey Federation. This year, that’s Carl Wittenburg from Alexandria, Minnesota.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons gave their playoffs chances a big boost while damaging the Seattle Seahawks’ shot at a postseason appearance.
Matt Ryan threw for two touchdowns and Adrian Clayborn returned a fumble 10 yards for a score to help the Falcons earn a 34-31 win at Seattle. Clayborn’s TD put Atlanta ahead 21-7 early in the second quarter.
The Seahawks were trailing 34-23 when Russell Wilson hit Doug Baldwin on a 29-yard TD and found Jimmy Graham for a two-point conversion with 3 minutes left. Seattle got in range for a long field goal attempt by Blair Walsh in the closing moments, but his 52-yard attempt with 2 seconds left came up short.
Both teams are now 6-4.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Chinese government has said it hopes countries would do more to bring North Korea and others back to talks instead of making tensions worse. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang stopped short of criticizing the U.S. for declaring Pyongyang a state sponsor of terrorism. But Lu said it would be “helpful to bring all parties back to the negotiation table instead of doing the opposite.” One concern is that the U.S. decision could trigger retaliation from North Korea.
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s defense ministry says top military chiefs of Russia, Turkey and Iran have agreed to coordinate their efforts in Syria to defeat the Islamic State group. The presidents of Russia, Turkey and Iran are meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Wednesday for talks focused on war-ravaged Syria. The Kremlin says the point of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s surprise visit to Sochi on Monday was to get him to agree to possible agreements that the three leaders might reach on Wednesday.
BEIRUT (AP) — The eighth round of U.N.-sponsored peace talks on the conflict in Syria will take place in Geneva next week, but one thing is clear: President Bashar Assad has survived the war. Militarily, he has the momentum on the ground, and on the diplomatic front he faces little pressure to agree to a deal that would ease him out of power.
NEW YORK (AP) — “CBS This Morning” will be without one of its hosts Tuesday after the network suspended Charlie Rose over sexual misconduct allegations leveled against the veteran newsman. Eight women who worked for Rose or tried to work from him have accused Rose of various misconduct, including groping them, walking naked in front of them and telling one that he dreamed about her swimming nude. Rose has said he is deeply embarrassed by the allegations and apologized for his behavior.
KEHRORE PAKKA, Pakistan (AP) — An AP investigation has found that sexual abuse is a pervasive problem at madrassas, or Islamic schools, in Pakistan. But in a culture where clerics are powerful and sexual abuse is a taboo subject, it is seldom discussed or even acknowledged in public. It is even more seldom prosecuted. Police are often paid off not to pursue justice against clerics, victims’ families say. And cases rarely make it past the courts, which allow the victim’s family to “forgive” the offender.
