Jamestown (JRMC) — Jamestown Regional Medical Center is pleased to welcome Kayla Emter, DPM, to the podiatry team.
Dr. Emter specializes in the conservative and surgical management of conditions of the foot and ankle. She is committed to providing the most advanced podiatric and surgical care possible.
She starts seeing patients on November 12. Call 952-4878 for an appointment.
Learn more at www.jrmcnd.com/podiatry.
On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Dr. Emter said, “There are two tenants I feel strongly about when it comes to treating patients. I like to compare my patient care to a sit-down restaurant rather than a fast food chain. It is important to take the time to educate our patients about their conditions and treatment options, rather than rushing them through the door. Patients are more than just two feet. I believe in treating our patients as a whole and as I would like to be treated.”
Dr. Emter joins JRMC Podiatrist/Foot & Ankle Surgeon, Dr. Rachael Renschler, to exceed patient expectations and provide quality care.
Also on our show, from JRMC Marketing, Katie Ryan-Anderson said, this is the first time in JRMC history that the hospital has offered two podiatrists to care for the community.
The addition of Dr. Emter is one of many steps the hospital has taken toward growth. Most recently, Crystal Krapp, APRN, DNP-C joined the JRMC Orthopedics team which includes Drs. Michael T. Dean and Timothy Volk, as well as Pat Walter, PA-C.
Prior to that, JRMC grew in 2017 with the launch of the JRMC Carrington Clinic and the addition of JRMC ENT Dr. W. Thomas Coombe and JRMC Gynecologist & Obstetrician Dr. Bailey Runkles. The JRMC Clinic is also home to Urologist, Dr. Robert J. Bates and Wound Center Specialists, Randy Perkins and Amanda Lausch.
JRMC Chief Nursing Officer and Interim CEO, Trisha Jungles, has pointed out that “This is big news. Seeing our independent hospital grow like this is a dream come true for our boards and leadership teams. We’re proud that the community counts on JRMC for its healthcare needs. She expects more to come in 2019.
She adds, that onboarding Dr. Emter means she and the podiatry team will be able to offer faster access to care in both Jamestown and at the JRMC Carrington Clinic.
Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Medical Center was able to assist 31 women taking advantage of the recent No Excuses Screening sessions.
Katie Ryan-Anderson reported on The Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, that the October screenings
had Central Valley Health, North Dakota Women’s Way, Jamestown Regional Medical Center and the Jamestown Regional Medical Center Foundation partnering 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.
The next No Excuses for educators and support staff is from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12 (Veterans Day).
To learn more or to request an appointment, anytime, visit www.jrmcnd.com/no-excuses or call (701) 952-5348.
On another topic Katie pointed out that the JRMC Cancer Center is progressing in construction, with an anticipated opening in the summer of 2019.

Jamestown (NDFU) – North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) President Mark Watne released the following statement in response to recent remarks by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue that the Trump administration has no plans to extend trade war aid to farmers in 2019, the December trade assistance payments may not be needed and farmers should base next year’s planting decisions on market signals:
“Farmers are being told a lot of things by the Trump administration. We’ve lost our soybean market with China, perhaps permanently, South America is expanding production and export facilities and yet we’re being told to base next year’s planting decisions on market signals. That might make sense if it weren’t for the fact that market signals for all commodities have been skewed by tariffs and trade agreements, some of which aren’t fully implemented. It’s like blindfolding us when we plant next year’s crop, so the administration can tell us the rows look straight. Nothing is straight.
Secretary Perdue needs to understand that corn and soybeans are typical crop rotations in the United States. Planting corn on corn may cause crop disease and most farmers consider rotations a good practice. The Secretary also seems to forget that commodity prices move together and soybeans are dragging all commodity prices down. Currently, with average yield productions, it is possible none of the 30-plus crops grown in North Dakota will show a positive cash flow.
North Dakota farmers did plant for the market last year. Soybeans were one of the few crops that actually showed some opportunity for profit. The administration made the conscious decision to lessen our demand for soybeans by launching a trade war. The Secretary recently said the trade assistance package to compensate farmers for losses was never meant to make farmers whole… and the President promised that farmers would be held harmless. This trade war needs to end soon.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police say a Bismarck woman tried to choke another woman after entering her home and later assaulted a police officer who was trying to arrest her.
Authorities say the 25-year-old woman damaged a pickup truck with a rock Tuesday afternoon, then entered the victim’s home and woke her up by attempted to choke her.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the woman later resisted arrest and scratched an officer’s face. The woman is facing possible charges of criminal mischief, assaulting an officer and burglary.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and her Republican opponent Kevin Cramer say they oppose a ballot measure that would legalize marijuana and they both support a ban on non-citizens voting in the state. The two candidates disagree on a ballot measure that would amend the North Dakota constitution to include a sweeping government ethics overhaul that state Democrats have fought unsuccessfully for years to do. Heitkamp voted for the measure and Cramer says he’ll vote against it.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker will lend a campaign hand to Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota. Booker is to join Heitkamp on Friday in Mandan and on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Former Vice President Joe Biden will campaign for Heitkamp on Thursday in Fargo.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The four large American Indian tribes in North Dakota are providing free identification with street addresses to thousands of members in advance of Tuesday’s election. The effort comes in the wake of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the state to continue requiring street addresses on IDs, as opposed to other addresses such as post office boxes. Streets addresses aren’t important on reservations, and some feel the rule could disenfranchise thousands of Native American voters.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-MARYLAND-DURKIN
Durkin done
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — The University of Maryland has done an about-face.
Head football coach D.J. Durkin has been fired, one day after being reinstated by the state’s board of regents. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada is expected to resume the role of interim coach after leading the Terrapins to a 5-3 record so far this season.
Durkin was placed on administrative leave Aug. 11 while the board awaited results of a report on the culture of the program. Durkin and the training staff came under fire after a player died two weeks after suffering from heat stroke following a spring practice.
After receiving that report, the board decided to bring him back, saying he was “unfairly blamed for the dysfunction in the athletic department.” But Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was among numerous local politicians who criticized the board’s decision.
