The goal was $168,000, with $132,000 raised in the overall campaign.

Jamestown (JRMC) — Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) recently announced Dann Holm as its most recent Legend Award recipient.
The Legend Award is the most prestigious distinction for a JRMC employee. The Legend Award recognizes employees who exceed expectations and make THE difference in the lives of those they serve.
(Pictured Above, l-r: Chief Nursing Officer and Interim CEO & President, Trisha Jungels, Legend Award recipient, Dann Holm, Plant Operations Manager, Dave Walz, and Chief Financial Officer, Bev Fiferlick.)
JRMC Rehabilitation Manager, Tracy Anderson, nominated Holm because of his compassion that he demonstrates to his fellow coworkers, patients and guests.
“Ben Mathews, one of our rehab aides, was having car troubles and shared this with Cindy Nelms in Plant Operations. Ben is from England and has no family in the United States.”
Anderson wrote. “Nelms told Mathews to visit with Holm in Plant Operations, as he is handy with fixing vehicles. Holm kindly drove with Mathews to Kensal, N.D., where he proceeded to fix Mathews’ vehicle. Holm took time out of his work schedule to display kindness and offer a helping hand to his coworker.”
Holm joined the JRMC team in 2008 and resides in Kensal, N.D.
Mathews says, “He is a real legend and a top bloke,” Mathews said.
JRMC’s 350 employees cast anonymous votes to select the Legend Award winner.
The purpose of the Legend Award is to inspire, motivate and capture the moments that define JRMC. The goal is to help employees and volunteers connect to the sense of purpose that brought them to the organization. This award is for employees who’ve made extreme efforts to benefit their patients and colleagues.
JRMC Chief Nursing Officer and Interim President & CEO, Trisha Jungels, says, “The nominations inspire staff members to continually be the best, exceed expectations and make THE difference in the lives of those we serve.”
Once nominated, both JRMC administration and employees voted on their favorite nominees and their stories.
Chief Operating Officer Ricki Ramlo adds, “We are grateful for our employees’ commitment to patients and our community. Dann is a great example of THE difference our employees make in the lives of those we serve.”
The Legend Award first began in 2012. Since then, more than 30 individuals have been named Legends and more than 105 employees were nominated.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A mountain lion that wildlife officials had tracked last fall before it thwarted their efforts was shot and killed Tuesday after wandering into an area not far from the North Dakota state capital city’s downtown.
Mountain lion sightings in the state’s cities are rare — the last one killed within Bismarck’s borders was nearly 10 years ago. Officials believe the young male killed Tuesday originated in the western badlands, was traveling along the Missouri River in search of new territory and possibly followed a deer into the city, looking for a meal.
Downtown Bismarck isn’t that far from the river, and “the Missouri River is an excellent travel corridor for young lions seeking new territory,” said Jeb Williams, wildlife chief for the state Game and Fish Department. “He just got off track a little bit.”
Police received a call about 5 a.m. from someone who reported seeing a lion in the backyard of a home near Bismarck Municipal Ballpark. Law officers and a Game and Fish official responded to the area and followed the lion’s tracks through a city park, through the ballpark and into another city park.
“Due to the danger to the public and proximity to homes, the mountain lion was dispatched after it was located,” police spokeswoman Lynn Wanner said.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says noxious weeds cause millions of dollars in damage to North Dakota crops and forage.
Officials urge the public to work with local weed officers and extension agents to identify and report suspect plants .

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The No. 2 House Democrat is blaming President Donald Trump for the partial government shutdown and says Trump is holding the government “hostage.” Maryland Democrat Steny Hoyer says Tuesday that “in another context, we would call that an act of kidnapping or terrorism.”
Hoyer says it would be akin to an imposition of martial law if Trump declares a national emergency in order to unilaterally build a Southwest border wall. He says Trump doesn’t have that authority and doing that “certainly could” be an abuse of power.
Hoyer compares it to other governments “declaring martial law and justifying them in doing whatever they want to do.”
Democrats are refusing to give Trump $5.7 billion to build the wall. The impasse has led to a partial government shutdown, now in its third week.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new court filing says former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort shared polling data on the 2016 presidential race with Konstantin Kilimnik, an associate accused of having ties to Russian intelligence.
The information is in a redacted court filing Tuesday from Manafort’s lawyers. The Associated Press was able to view the redacted material because it wasn’t properly blacked out.
According to the filing, prosecutors say Manafort lied to investigators about sharing the data with Kiliminik. Manafort allegedly shared the data while he was working on Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign.
Kilimnik has denied ties to Russian intelligence.
Both men were indicted in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
Prosecutors say Manafort breached his plea deal by repeatedly lying to them.
NEW YORK (AP) — A Russian lawyer who became a focal point of the investigation into whether there was collusion between Russians and President Donald Trump’s election campaign has been charged with obstruction of justice in an unrelated case.
Natalya Veselnitskaya (veh-sehl-NEETS’-keye-ah) was charged in an indictment unsealed Tuesday in federal court in New York.
She is believed to be living in Russia.
Prosecutors say Veselnitskaya submitted deceptive declarations to a judge in a civil proceeding involving a Russian tax refund fraud scheme.
Veselnitskaya attended a 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner, that was described to Trump Jr. as part of a Russian government effort to help his father’s campaign.
Trump Jr. and Kushner have acknowledged attending the meeting but have said it amounted to nothing.
BERLIN (AP) — Police say a local leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany party has been attacked and wounded by several people in the northwestern city of Bremen.
Bremen police said they believe the attack on Frank Magnitz, a lawmaker in Germany’s national parliament who leads the party’s local branch, was politically motivated. They called for witnesses to the attack, which took place early Monday evening near a city theater, to come forward.
The party, known by its German acronym AfD, said early Tuesday that Magnitz was ambushed by three masked men, beaten unconscious with a piece of wood and then kicked in the head. He was hospitalized.
Bremen, Germany’s smallest state, holds a regional election on May 26, the same day as European Parliament elections in which AfD hopes to make gains.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general once advised that a president didn’t need Congress’ permission to attack Iraq. William Barr also said the U.S. could arrest a foreign dictator and capture suspects abroad without that country’s permission.
That expansive view of presidential power is unsettling for Democrats as the Senate holds a confirmation hearing next week for Barr, who served as AG for President George H.W. Bush.
Democrats fear Barr would be overly deferential to Trump in a position where legal decisions aren’t supposed to be guided by political considerations.
Of particular concern to Democrats is a memo Barr wrote last year criticizing part of the special counsel’s Russia investigation.
Barr’s friends defend his opinions as carefully reasoned and say he wouldn’t be a pushover for Trump.
