Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out Monday evening just before 6-p.m., to an electrical fire at a home at 530 4th Street Southwest.
No other damage was reported.

Jamestown (CSi) November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, and making a return visit to The Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, were Sherilyn, Tara, and Braelon Geerdes.
About a year ago, Braelon was diagnosed with the neurological disorder.
Braelon is a fifth-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.
That led to the diagnosis of epilepsy and subsequent therapy and a medication regimen.
Her mom, Tara, says Braelon continues with therapy, and regularly visits a Minnesota Clinic for tests such as EEGs, light tests, and she see a neurologist and neuropsychologist who continue to work with her, and track her progress.
Tara said that Braelon continues with twice daily medications, and has a rescue medication that can be taken when an epileptic event occurs.
She added that a seizure can also occur, not affecting Braelon’s brain, but the symptoms of body shaking are similar.
Tara said the teachers and staff and administration at St. John’s Academy are very support of Braelon, and given her assistance, in the event of a seizure.
She pointed out in addition to insurance coverage, a grant has been made, through the efforts and support of St. John’s Academy and St. James Basilica in Jamestown.
Braelon still participate in sports, such as softball wearing head protection, and is active in other ways, playing the guitar, and the piano, and she sings at public events.
She was recently invited to a National Epilepsy Foundation event in Denver, where she sang.
Braelon’s Grandmother, Sherilyn Geerdes said, locally events are held to raise additional funds for the Minnesota Epilepsy Foundation, which also serves eastern North Dakota.
She says more support in North Dakota is needed, pointing out that 1 in 26 individuals, children and adults, will develop epilepsy.

Valley City (VCSU) Valley City State University has received approval from the Higher Learning Commission to offer the Bachelor of Applied Science in Management degree.
The new degree program provides a pathway for an individual holding an Associate of Applied Science degree—typically a graduate of a two-year technical program—to add knowledge and skills in business, management, leadership, communication and technology while acquiring a bachelor’s degree.
Valley City State University interim president, Margaret Dahlberg says, “We’re excited about the opportunities our new B.A.S. program will provide for individuals to add to their viability in the workplace and for VCSU to contribute to workforce development and economic vitality in the state.”
Offered online, the program will provide an accessible, flexible means for those in the workplace to continue their studies without disrupting their existing work schedules.
By encouraging participation, regional and statewide employers can help develop management and leadership skills in their workforce, supporting internal paths for advancement within their organizations.
VCSU has already assessed interest in the program with employers and two-year colleges across the state; the program will be formally rolled out in 2019.
WARSAW, N.D. (AP) — Two adults were treated for smoke inhalation after a house fire in the Walsh County town of Warsaw.
KFGO radio reports that fire departments from Minto and Grafton responded to the Monday morning blaze. The two adults and several children got out safely, but the parents were taken to a Grafton hospital to be checked out.
Minto Fire Chief Mark Lund says firefighters remained on scene through the afternoon extinguishing hot spots. The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately determined.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A Mandan police officer who shot a man has been cleared of wrongdoing.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the Morton County State’s Attorney’s Office says it will file no charges against officer Leo Belgarde after a state crime bureau investigation into the Oct. 9 incident in which 26-year-old Jared Galusha was shot but survived.
Authorities say they were trying to arrest Galusha on warrants when he drove a vehicle in the direction of officers. Belgarde fired two shots, and one of them struck Galusha.
Galusha earlier had said he was shot once in the back and once in the rib cage as he put his hands up.
Galusha has been charged with reckless endangerment and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. Court documents don’t list an attorney for him.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A woman accused of accidentally firing a gunshot into the occupied apartment below her in Minot has been sentenced to a year of probation.
Authorities say 28-year-old Jillian Eldridge, of Keller, Texas, was cleaning her boyfriend’s handgun on April 9 when it fired. She told police she did not think it was loaded.
The bullet came within a few feet of the man in the apartment below. The Minot Daily News reports he was shaken up but not injured.
If Eldridge successfully completes probation, a reckless endangerment charge will be dismissed.
CROSBY, N.D. (AP) — A Tennessee man accused of illegally acting as a hunting guide in North Dakota for several years has pleaded not guilty.
Twenty-six-year-old Randal Layman Jr., of Fayetteville, Tennessee, faces seven felony counts of exploiting wildlife that together carry a maximum punishment of 35 years in prison and $70,000 in fines.
Investigators from the Divide County Sheriff’s Office and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department allege Layman has been charging clients $1,000 for guided hunts since at least 2014, even though he’s not a licensed guide.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Phillips 66 and Bridger Pipeline say they have preliminary plans for a new pipeline to send Bakken crude oil to Texas.
The companies say the Liberty Pipeline would transport 350,000 barrels of oil per day from the Bakken and Rockies production areas to Corpus Christi, Texas.
Bridger Pipeline spokesman Bill Salvin tells the Bismarck Tribune there’s a need for more crude oil pipeline capacity from both North Dakota and Wyoming. He says interest from shippers will determine the final pipeline route.
Salvin says the project would involve a combination of new construction and expanding existing pipelines. If the companies’ plans materialize and regulatory approval is given, the pipeline is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2020.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s financially troubled synthetic natural gas plant in North Dakota could break even by 2024 following staff cuts and other cost-saving measures, the utility said.
Basin Electric CEO Paul Sukut recently announced recently that the Great Plains Synfuels Plant near Beulah “is in a much better place financially today even than it was six months ago,” the Bismarck Tribune reported.
Plant operator and Basin subsidiary Dakota Gasification Co. has been struggling to compete with cheap natural gas made available by hydraulic fracturing in the Bakken oil field. The plant has suffered about $212 million in net losses over the past three years.
The cooperative experienced a net loss of $57.3 million in the first six months of 2018, well above the company’s $30.3 million loss in the first six months of 2017, according to its latest financial statement.
Utility rate increases have helped keep the cooperative afloat.
More than 300 Basin employees took buyouts in August. The plant also switched to operating at 85 percent capacity, rather than 100 percent, which allows it to meet demand for products and run its fertilizer facilities year round.

NFL…
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The New York Giants have snapped a five-game losing streak with a Monday night win by beating the San Francisco 49ers 27-23. Both teams now have just two wins for the season. Eli Manning threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with 53 seconds left.
NEW YORK (AP) — Duke has supplanted Kansas atop the new AP Top 25 poll after its dominating win against Kentucky, giving the Blue Devils a record number of appearances at No. 1.
The Blue Devils jumped from fourth to first in Monday’s first regular-season poll. That allowed Duke to set a record with its 135th week at No. 1, breaking a tie with UCLA for most all-time.
Duke claimed 48 of 65 first-place votes after beating then-No. 2 Kentucky by 34 points in their opener.
It was impressive enough to bump the preseason No. 1 Jayhawks, who fell to No. 2 despite a quality win of their own against then-No. 10 Michigan State.
Gonzaga was third, followed by Virginia and Tennessee to round out the top 5.
NASCAR…
David Pearson, the NASCAR pioneer known as “The Silver Fox” for his cunning craft and a longtime rivalry with Richard Petty, has died. He was 83.
The Wood Brothers Racing team said Pearson died Monday night in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he was born and lived most of his life. Details were not immediately available.
Pearson was one of NASCAR’s first superstars along with Petty, Bobby Allison and Cale Yarborough, and they raced all over the country as the cornerstone during NASCAR’s period of slow growth beyond a regional racing series. Pearson was a three-time Cup champion, his 105 career victories trail only Petty’s 200 on NASCAR’s all-time list, and he was inducted into the second class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Pearson’s career paralleled Petty’s and the two combined for 63 finishes in which they finished first and second to each other. Pearson won 33 of the battles.
— Joe Ingles scored 19 points, Rudy Gobert added 15 points and 16 rebounds and the Utah Jazz won their third straight, 96-88 over the Memphis Grizzlies. The Jazz broke open a close game in the final six minutes with a 14-5 run. Gobert had eight points in the stretch as Utah built its lead to 11 points in the late stages. Derrick Favors and Donovan Mitchell finished with 12 points apiece for Utah. Mike Conley led Memphis with 24 points, while Marc Gasol added 16.
— Joel Embiid scored 35 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers added to Miami’s early season struggles by topping the Heat 124-114. The win came hours after the 76ers finalized a trade with Minnesota to land four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who was in Philadelphia and not with the club in Miami.
— Anthony Davis had 25 points and a season-high 20 rebounds, E’Twaun Moore scored a season-high 30 points and the New Orleans Pelicans beat Toronto 126-110, snapping the Raptors’ six-game winning streak.
— Paul George matched his season high with 32 points and went 6 of 10 from 3-point range, Dennis Schroder added 20 points and nine assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Phoenix Suns 118-101 on Monday night.
MLB-ROOKIES
Ohtani wins AL Rookie of the Year; Acuna wins NL honor
UNDATED (AP) — Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani (SHOH’-hay oh-TAH’-nee) has been voted American League Rookie of the Year after becoming the first player since Babe Ruth with 10 homers and four pitching wins in the same season.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was an overwhelming pick for the National League honor, easily beating Washington outfielder Juan Soto.
Ohtani, a 24-year-old right-hander who joined the Angels last winter after five seasons with Japan’s Nippon Ham Fighters, received 25 first-place votes and four seconds for 137 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in balloting announced Monday.
Acuna started the season at Triple-A and made his debut on April 25, the youngest player in the majors then at 20 years, 128 days. The Venezuelan hit .293 with 26 homers, 64 RBIs and 16 steals with a .917 OPS. He set a Braves record with eight leadoff homers this season and tied a franchise mark by homering in five straight games from Aug. 11-14.
In other MLB news:
— Joe Mauer is leaving the playing field after a 15-year major league career, but not Minnesota or the Twins. Mauer formalized his goodbye to the game on Monday at a news conference. He said he’ll stay connected to his hometown team in some capacity and will raise his kids in Minnesota. Mauer joined the organization in 2001 as the first overall pick in the draft out of Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul.
NHL-CONCUSSIONS LAWSUIT
Tentative settlement reached in NHL concussions lawsuit
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NHL and attorneys for retired players have reached a tentative settlement worth roughly $19 million in the biggest lawsuit brought against the league over concussions and other head injuries.
As part of the settlement, the NHL does not acknowledge any liability for any of the players’ claims. The lawsuit, consolidated in federal court in Minnesota and by far the largest facing the league, involves more than 100 former players who accused the NHL of failing to better prevent head trauma or warn players of risks while promoting violent play that led to their injuries.
Stuart Davidson, an attorney on the players’ side, said the NHL is setting aside about $19 million for the lawsuit. That’s significantly less than the billion-dollar agreement reached between the NFL and its former players on the same issue.

NHL-KINGS-CAMPBELL INJURED
Campbell out 4-6 weeks with knee injury
UNDATED (AP) — Los Angeles Kings goalie Jack Campbell will be out for at least a month after surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his knee.
The Kings recalled goalie Cal Petersen from their AHL affiliate in Ontario on Monday.
Los Angeles is without its top two goalies after Campbell’s injury followed Jonathan Quick’s surgery last month to repair a meniscus tear in his own knee. Peter Budaj is the Kings’ likely starter until Quick returns.

Bettman and O’Ree — the NHL’s first black player — went into the Hall as builders.
— The potential owners of an NHL expansion franchise in Seattle remain confident arena renovations will be completed in time for the 2020-21 season. NHL Seattle says ownership recognizes the ability to start play in 2020 is dependent on KeyArena renovations being finished on time. Deputy NHL Commissioner Bill Daly expects a decision on Seattle expansion next month but isn’t sure when the arena will be ready.

New Orleans scored on every possession except the last one — when it took a knee in field-goal range — during its rout at Paul Brown Stadium.
The Bengals (5-4) have given up 500 yards in three straight games — a first in the Super Bowl era — and are on pace to give up an NFL record for yards in a season.
In other NFL news:

David Pearson, NASCAR’s Silver Fox, has died at 83
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — David Pearson, a NASCAR pioneer and longtime rival of Richard Petty, has died. He was 83.
Pearson died Monday, The Wood Brothers racing team said, but details were not immediately available.
Pearson was a three-time Cup champion and his 105 career victories trail only Petty’s 200 on NASCAR’s all-time list.
Born just outside of Spartanburg, Pearson made his NASCAR debut in 1960 and along with Petty, Bobby Allison and Cale Yarborough, they raced all over the country as the cornerstone during NASCAR’s period of slow growth beyond a regional racing series. Pearson was inducted into the second class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Initially nicknamed “The Fox” for his calculated attack on the race track, the moniker evolved into “The Silver Fox” as Pearson aged. His career paralleled Petty’s and the two combined for 63 finishes in which the two finished first and second to each other.
