Jamestown (AP) A North Dakota lawmaker accused of drunken driving has pleaded guilty to reckless driving. Republican Rep. Craig Headland, of Montpelier, was pulled over in October in Stutsman County on Interstate 94. Troopers say Headland refused a field chemical test and was arrested for driving under the influence. That charge was dropped under the plea agreement.
Judge Troy LeFevre ordered Headland to pay a $500 fine and $250 in fees. He must perform 40 hours of community service and obtain a chemical dependency evaluation. He is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms for 360 days.
Headland was first elected to the state House in 2002. He was running for re-election at the time of the arrest.
Headland declined to comment Saturday to The Associated Press.
Update…
Bismarck (CSi) Giving Hearts Day, Feb 14, 2019 raised $16,261,713, from 30,615 contributors from North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota.
Jamestown Regional Medical Center reports that with the help of major donors and hundreds of community members, Jamestown Regional Medical Center set a new Giving Hearts Day record. And for every $10 donated, JRMC received a match up to $40,000.
Lisa Jackson, JRMC Foundation Director, says, on Giving Hearts Day this year, JRMC raised $213,153 in 2019, thanks to the generosity of 293 donors. Last year, 200 donors helped JRMC raise $75,000. The funds helped purchase R.O.S.I.E.; a germ-zapping robot used to sanitize rooms and reduce surgical site infections.
One of this year’s gifts – $100,000 came from Reuben and Clarice M. Liechty. The gift will help the JRMC Cancer Center provide chemotherapy infusions to area patients, saving them hundreds of miles of travel each year. Those miles matter, Jackson said; no one wants to travel when they are sick.
Clarice says, “It’s so important to not have to travel a long distance. It’s tough enough to be sick.”
The JRMC Cancer Center is set to open this summer.
Jackson adds, “This is a huge win for JRMC and the Jamestown community. Thank you to the Liechtys for their giving hearts. What you’ve done for JRMC and the Jamestown community will make THE difference in patient care.”
JRMC Emergency Department Physician Dr. Kent Diehl, says, in addition to the gift from the Liechty’s, the JRMC Auxiliary donated $10,000. This money helped purchase a Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma Ultrasound for the JRMC Emergency Department. This tool will help doctors diagnose and treat injuries, said The $45,000 machine means patients can count on JRMC for faster results, especially when seconds count and miles matter.
Dr. Diehl says, “We will be able to diagnose things quicker. It will be huge – the difference between life and death in certain situations. The equipment does so many things including guiding IV access and not having to transport patients for x-rays. This equipment puts us equally with higher level trauma centers. Thank you to this community for the support.”
The 50 or so members of the JRMC Auxiliary volunteer their time to raise money for JRMC. Since 1987 the Auxiliary has donated more than $390,000 for patient care.
Cindy Grimm, JRMC Auxiliary past-president, points out that, “Great patient care is important to all of us in the Auxiliary. We’re happy to support these projects,” said This Giving Hearts Day, more than 30,000 individuals gave $16.2 million to nonprofit organizations throughout the Upper Midwest.
Jackson adds, “Every year on Giving Hearts Day, we talk about how gifts ‘double the love.’ When it comes to the JRMC Cancer Center and the JRMC Emergency Department, this is absolutely true. Giving Hearts Day gifts directly affect our current patients; however, the love is doubled because those gifts help future patients too. Thank you to this community for the support. We are humbled.”

Jamestown (Chamber) Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Emily Bivens has announced the recipient of the Ag Woman of the Year.
Julie Michel has been informed her selection, as Emily released the information for immediate release, Friday morning, with awards to been handed out at Friday evening’s Ag Banquet at the Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.
Awards will also be given by the Stutsman County Soil Conservation District to be announced at Friday evening’s banquet.
The news release states that Julie Michel is currently office manager, president, and co-owner of Michel Farms Inc., as well as mom to Cody, Kale, and Amanda. She grew up on a dairy farm where she learned a strong work ethic from her parents, Darrel & Vonnie Entzminger.
She then farmed alongside her husband, Jeff Michel, until his sudden death in 2006. Julie was determined to keep the farm going, which meant all of the grain marketing, crop insurance, financials, meeting with the land lords, crop rotation decisions, etc. were now her responsibility.
Since then, her sons Cody and Kale have become full-time farmers, co-owners of Michel Farms Inc., and REA Seed dealers. They make many of the decisions that were once solely hers. Her daughter Amanda came back to the farm in 2015, and they opened Boondocks Venue together in 2016. She is currently Office Manager of Boondocks and hopes to someday take over the role of Office Manager for the farm as well. She is married to Zach Rode.
Over the next several years, Julie plans to transition from manager to mentor, still helping in the fields and lending advice.
In her free time, Julie enjoys baking, gardening, being outdoors, spending time with family, helping others, and camping and riding horse with her fiancé, Travis Guthmiller.

NASCAR-DAYTONA 500
Hamlin wins Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Denny Hamlin is the Daytona 500 winner for the second time in four years.
Hamlin took the checkered flag for Joe Gibbs Racing a month after Joe Gibbs’ oldest son died following a long battle with a degenerative neurological disease. J.D. Gibbs was 49.
Hamlin moved out front after a final restart and had teammate Kyle Busch blocking in the final lap as the pair created a sweep of the top three finishes for Gibbs Racing. Busch finished second, followed by Erik Jones. Defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano was fourth.
Hamlin last year suffered through his first winless season in the Cup Series and made a crew chief change during the offseason.
The Cup-opening event turned into a wreck-fest near the finish. “The Great American Race” had five crashes and two red flags over the final 20 laps of regulation.

The Blues posted their 10th straight victory and third consecutive shutout on Sunday as Jordan Binnington made 31 saves in a 4-0 win at Minnesota. Binnington ran the Blues scoreless streak to 187:16 since the team allowed a goal late in an 8-3 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.

Florida coughed up a 3-1 lead before Barkov scored late in the second period to send the Panthers to their eighth victory in 12 games.

MLB-NEWS
Pitch clock for exhibition slate
UNDATED (AP) — Major League Baseball is unilaterally starting the use of pitch clocks for spring training games.
Pitchers generally will have 20 seconds to deliver to the plate when teams play exhibition games in Arizona and Florida beginning this week. The intention is to get players and umpires accustomed to the clock in the event MLB makes the rule change for the upcoming regular season.
Owners have the right to implement one this year without consent, but Commissioner Rob Manfred has been reluctant to initiate on-field modifications without agreement from players and their union head, Tony Clark.
Meanwhile, several players around the majors have taken issue with a second consecutive slow market for free agents. They question why more teams aren’t trying to win. All-Stars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remain unsigned — along with closer Craig Kimbrel and dozens of other accomplished veterans.
Also in the majors:
— Left-hander Aaron Loup and the Padres have agreed to a one-year contract that guarantees $1.4 million and includes a team option for 2020. The 31-year-old reliever had a 4.54 ERA in 59 games last year for Toronto and Philadelphia, striking out 44 and walking 14 in 39 2/3 innings.
