Jamestown  (CSi) – A teenager on a bike was injured after colliding with a motorist in Jamestown early Wednesday evening just after 5-p.m.

Police and ambulance crews were on scene after the individual hit the car at the intersection of 2nd Avenue SE and 3rd Street SE near the Jamestown Middle School and First United Methodist Church.

Jamestown Assistant Police Chief Justin Blinsky reports, the 16 year old male bicycle rider, was taken  by Jamestown Area ambulance to Jamestown Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

The report says,  driver of the car was traveling south on 2nd Avenue, stopped at the stop sign and then proceeded to turn right to travel west on 3rd Street.

The bike was headed on the north sidewalk of 3rd Street when it approached the intersection.

The report says the bike did not have brakes and the rider went to swerve around the car but struck the vehicle in the side.

The accident continues to be investigated by the Jamestown Police Department.

Jamestown  (JRMC)— Even with insurance, some women can’t afford mammograms and pap smears.

However, local community healthcare partners are working to fix that.

Guests on Wednesday’ Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, from Jamestown Regional Medical Center, JRMC Specialty Clinics, Manager, Patty Kline, and Marketing Generalist, Ally Knutson explained more.

Patty said, each year, Central Valley Health, North Dakota Women’s Way, Jamestown Regional Medical Center and the Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation partner to eliminate barriers for women to receive care. Again this year, those agencies will host No Excuses, which encourages women to schedule preventative screenings like mammograms and pap smears. No Excuses reduces common barriers to care like transportation, childcare, appointments during after-work hours and financial responsibility.

Ally explained that in Stutsman County, about 3 in 10 of women are not up to date on their mammograms, according to the Stutsman County Health Rankings. With the help of No Excuses, that number has improved from 4 in 10 in 2013.

In 2017, more than 20 women enrolled in the No Excuses program. Since its inception, No Excuses has helped more than 100 women receive these life-saving screenings. Because of No Excuses, women received services that some of them otherwise could not afford.

R.M. Stoudt and the summer Running of the Pink event, with funds raised allows offering No Excuses at no cost to individual patients.

In 11 years, R.M. Stoudt has raised more than $100,000 for women’s health programs.

In addition, while finances are often a concern when scheduling care, time is another. Women are often caregivers and prioritize others before themselves.

New this year, the community healthcare partners are offering a second No Excuses, specifically for educators and support staff.

The next No Excuses for educators and support staff is set for 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12 (Veterans Day). The traditional No Excuses, open to all women, is set for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23 and 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24. To reduce wait times, scheduling is preferred; however, walk-ins are welcome.

Valley City . (VCSU) – The VCSU Foundation has allocated an all-time record $1.623 million for scholarship support of VCSU students in 2018–19.

VCSU executive director of university advancement, Larry Robinson says, “The foundation’s ability to fund scholarships at this level is a key factor in attracting students to campus and growing and maintaining enrollment.

The Foundation Office works closely with the VCSU Enrollment Services and Financial Aid offices in securing and distributing scholarship dollars to students.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Department of Health says the number of drug overdose deaths increased slightly in the state last year.

According to the Division of Vital Statistics, North Dakota recorded 76 drug-related deaths in 2017. That’s up from 68 deaths the previous year. The deaths include suicides and accidental overdoses.

Director Pam Sagness of the North Dakota Department of Human Services Division of Behavioral Health told The Bismarck Tribune last year was “pivotal” for North Dakota, since it was the first year state funding was appropriated to prevent drug overdoses.

The Department of Human Services is waiting for the final number of overdose deaths in 2017 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before determining how effective those efforts are, Sagness said. The CDC interprets the data differently to determine what constitutes an overdose death, she said.

In 2016, the CDC reports there were 77 overdose deaths in North Dakota.

However, preliminary overdose death numbers from the CDC show about a 5 percent increase from 2016 to 2017. Over the years, the state has seen a slowing in the increase of drug overdose deaths.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Republican challenger Kevin Cramer match up in their first debate Thursday after months of bitter campaigning in a race seen as vital to Senate control. The North Dakota Democrat is likely to stick to attacking Cramer for supporting potentially damaging trade policy and health care changes. And bet on Cramer, a three-term congressman, to hit Heitkamp as not conservative enough for the state _ and to try to capitalize on a Heitkamp ad that went awry this week.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Game and Fish Department says the invasive silver carp population is holding steady in the state and doesn’t appear to be growing.

The leaping fish was first detected in North Dakota in the James River in 2011, moving upstream from South Dakota when water levels were high during record summer flooding.

Invasive Species Coordinator Jessica Howell tells KFGO silver carp are surviving in North Dakota, but don’t appear to be reproducing. The carp are considered a significant threat to local aquatic species because they attack the food chain and the leaping fish have been known to injure boaters.
