Jamestown (JRMC) — Men’s health below the belt can make a person squeamish, but ignoring symptoms can have a devastating effect.
Jamestown Regional Medical Center, urologist, Dr. Robert Bates says, “Silence can be our worst enemy. Talking about these issues and seeing a specialist are the necessary steps to below-the-belt health.”
To start those hairy conversations, Jamestown Regional Medical Center is holding a #GROWvember beard-growing contest. The contest runs through Tuesday, Nov. 27.
Misinformation about men’s health issues is abundant, Dr. Bates said, in part because it’s so private.
Important questions you ‘mustache’ yourself: How often do you go to the bathroom? When you go, is it urgent? Do you have blood in your urine?
Dr. Bates adds, various treatment options are available locally. Patients can self-refer, meaning they don’t have to visit their primary physician first. They can make an appointment directly at JRMC. That cuts down on embarrassing conversations.
The #GROWvember contest is free to grow and $10 per beard to compete for prizes. Prizes awarded include but are not limited to: Longest beard, Best Styled Beard, Best Mustache and Cashiest ‘Stache. All proceeds benefit JRMC’s upcoming Cancer Center.
A special event to announce the winners is set for Tuesday, Nov. 27 at Shady’s Restaurant & Lounge. The event begins with a social at 5 p.m. followed by awards at 6 p.m. Tickets area available in advance for $10 or at the door for $15. Tickets include appetizers and a beverage. A full list of rules is available at www.jrmcnd.com/growvember.
Let’s move from embarrassed to empowered.

Jamestown (NDFU) The unveiling of a Family Farms chopper, designed and built by Paul Teutul, Jr., of Paul Jr. Designs, will take center stage at the North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) state convention on Friday, Dec. 14, in Bismarck. The creation of the motorcycle and its reveal will be featured on an episode of “American Chopper,” a Discovery Channel television show.
NDFU President Mark Watne, says, “Consumer education about the value of family farm agriculture is a standing priority for our organization. As farmers, we understand that America’s family farm system of food production is the best in the world. We want consumers to understand that, too, and one way to grab their attention is through national branding and messaging, exactly what Paul Teutul, Jr. will deliver.”
The chopper, which is being built in Orange County, N.Y., will be transported to North Dakota for the reveal at the Bismarck Event Center in front of some 800 Farmers Union members expected to be in attendance. No one, not even Watne, will see the motorcycle beforehand and no videos or photos of the bike will be posted until the American Chopper episode airs.
Paul Jr., says, “I appreciate Farmers Union completely trusting me with their brand.I know it’s a leap of faith. My goal is to mold the family farms message into a work of art that people will want to see. Ultimately, they’ll learn more about Farmers Union and the importance of family farm agriculture.”
Watne said the bike will run on E30 as Farmers Union “continues to work to create demand for corn and higher blends of ethanol to support commodity prices.”
The public is invited to the reveal, but must register first for the convention at 1-800-366-8331.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Former longtime Mandan Republican state Rep. Rae Ann Kelsch has died.
Alex Kelsch says his mother died early Tuesday morning at a New Orleans hospital from a bacterial infection caused by eating raw oysters at a restaurant there. She was 58.
Kelsch was first elected to the North Dakota House in 1990 and served 22 years, including as the chairwoman of the Education Committee.
She was defeated in the 2012 primary, after it came to light she didn’t file state income tax returns for seven years.
Kelsch’s husband, Thomas, a lawyer, said at the time that he was to blame for the tax problems. The couple said the tax bill was eventually paid.
Kelsch served as a lobbyist after her tenure as a lawmaker.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Update…
Hankinson (NDHP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a driver has died after crashing into a tractor in Richland County, four miles north of Hankinson.
The Patrol has identified the man as 59 year old Jeffery Schlitz of Hankinson.
The patrol says his 2004 Chevrolet Impala was southbound on Richland County 1, shortly after sunset, when it met a northbound John Deere tractor towing a disc plow and coil packer. As the Impala passed the tractor, it struck the front of the disc plow. The Impala had extensive damage to the top. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 18-year-old man driving the tractor wasn’t seriously injured.
The crash remains under investigation.

In world and national news…
PITTSBURGH (AP) — More than 1,000 people have poured into one of Pittsburgh’s largest synagogues to mourn the two intellectually disabled brothers who were killed in Saturday’s massacre.
Rabbi Jeffrey Myers says Cecil and David Rosenthal were the very definition of “beautiful souls” at their joint funeral Tuesday at Rodef Shalom. Myers also survived the attack and is officiating at five other victims’ funerals.
He says their absence will be deeply felt at Tree of Life, the Pittsburgh synagogue where 11 people were gunned down Saturday in the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.
Their family asked for donations to be sent to Tree of Life or Achieva in lieu of flowers.
Services for Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz were also being held Tuesday.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — President Donald Trump is called upon once again to step into the all-too-frequent role of national consoler following the worst instance of anti-Semitic violence in American history.
He faces an uneasy welcome on Tuesday to the anguished Pittsburgh community of Squirrel Hill, where he’s to pay his respects after 11 people were gunned down at the Tree of Life synagogue during Sabbath services.
Marianne Novy and David Dvir live in Squirrel Hill. To Novy, Trump isn’t wanted “unless he really changes his ways.” For Dvir, politics should take a pause for grief. He says: “It’s our president, and we need to welcome him.”
The visit comes as Trump struggles to balance appeals for national unity with partisan campaign rhetoric just a week before contentious midterm elections.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan says President Donald Trump can’t end birthright citizenship on his own.
The top Republican tells WVLK radio in Kentucky, “Well you obviously cannot do that. You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order.”
Ryan’s comments Tuesday offered a rare challenge to the president — from his own party.
Trump tells “Axios on HBO” he wants to end birthright citizenship for babies born to non-citizens and immigrants not authorized to be in the United States.
Constitutional scholars are questioning whether changes could be made without Congress.
Ryan says Republicans didn’t like when then-President Barack Obama “tried changing immigration laws via executive action. He says “obviously as conservatives we believe in the Constitution.”
Ryan is retiring but the No. 3 House Republican, Louisiana’s Rep. Steve Scalise, said on Fox that he’s glad Trump is considering options.
BRUCETON MILLS, W. Va. (AP) — The widow of one of James “Whitey” Bulger’s (BUHL’-jur) victims says she’d like to celebrate the crime boss’ death with champagne.
Patricia Donahue tells WBZ-TV she and her family are “very happy that the man is not here any longer” and they don’t ever have to hear his name again.
Michael Donahue was killed in 1982 when he offered a ride home to a man allegedly targeted for death by Bulger because he was talking to the FBI.
Officials with the Federal Bureau of Prisons say Bulger was found dead in his Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, prison cell Tuesday morning. He was 89. He had been serving two consecutive life sentences after his 2013 conviction of participating in 11 murders.
Authorities did not immediately release a cause of death. The FBI said they are investigating.
(AP) Trick-or-treaters beware: Halloween can be deadly for pedestrians and children face the greatest danger.
A new study finds a 43 percent higher risk of pedestrian deaths on Halloween night than on other nights near that date.
The research was based on four decades of U.S. traffic data, including 608 pedestrian deaths on 42 Halloweens.
Results were published online Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics.
Kids aged 4 to 8 faced the highest risks: There were 55 Halloween deaths in this age range compared with just 11 on control days.
ATLANTA (AP) — More people than ever are returning their ballots by mail or dropping them off at a local election location rather than voting in a booth on Election Day.
While that makes voting easier, the trend is raising concerns about whether those voters can be assured their ballots will count.
Voting rights activists want to ensure that voters are given a reasonable chance to fix any problems.
Earlier this month, the ACLU and other groups filed lawsuits in Georgia after an Atlanta-area county reported a comparatively high rate of rejected absentee ballots during the start of early voting. Those actions followed similar lawsuits in New Hampshire and California.
In 2016, nearly one of every four ballots cast came through the mail or was handed in at a drop-off location.
