Jamestown (JRMC) Jamestown Regional Medical Center, Can’t do the work it does, without the work of the volunteers. So says, JRMC President and CEO, Mike Delfs.
JRMC presented awards to the 104 JRMC volunteers at the hospital’s Volunteer Recognition Banquet on April 11.
Since 1997, those volunteers have donated more than 147,000 hours. Last year alone, they donated more than 7,200 hours.
Volunteers at JRMC serve in different ways. This includes Telecare, making blankets, tummy pillows and infant hats, personally escorting patients and guests to appointments, assembling education packets and mailings. They dedicate time to fundraising events too. The JRMC Auxiliary raised $28,500 in 2018 for the JRMC Cancer Center. They also created infant swaddles for new babies in Family BirthPlace.
In addition to celebrating the volunteers’ hard work, JRMC also recognized the following:
- Dorothy Chouinard, Legendary Volunteer
- Kay Hust, Volunteer of the Year
- Eunice Sahr, Auxilian of the Year

JRMC Volunteer Coordinator Mary Engels, says, “We appreciate Dorothy because through the years she has donated 8,227 hours to Jamestown Regional Medical Center. She probably has closer to 10,000 hours, but they weren’t tracked in the beginning.” Chouinard was instrumental in starting Telecare, a daily calling program to check in on patients. Chouinard also helped establish the first hospital gift shop. Most recently, she volunteered doing hospice clerical work.
Mary says, JRMC selected Hust because for the past four years she volunteered at the surgery desk at 6 a.m. each Monday. She started each shift with a smile and compassion for the patients and their families, adding, “Kay has made such a difference in patient care donating over 700 hours of her time volunteering.”
The JRMC Auxiliary selects its Auxilian of the year. About 40 individuals belong to the JRMC Auxiliary, which serves as a fundraising element of the hospital.
The news release says, “Eunice is an asset to healthcare in this region because she is willing to volunteer for every event and project.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota officials are pressuring the state of Washington to back off from legislation requiring oil shipped by rail to have more of its volatile gases removed, urging the governor to veto the bill and threatening a lawsuit over worries it could hamper the energy industry of the nation’s No. 2 crude producer.
The bill awaiting Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature requires a lower vapor pressure limit for crude shipped by rail than either North Dakota requirements or industry standards. Violations could result in fines of up to $2,500 per day per rail car.
That “would result in a de factor ban of crude-by-rail traffic from North Dakota to refineries throughout the Pacific Northwest,” North Dakota’s three members of Congress said in a letter sent Friday imploring Inslee to veto the bill.
Inslee, who has made climate change a focus of his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, was still reviewing the bill Tuesday, spokeswoman Tara Lee said. She didn’t comment on whether pressure from North Dakota’s congressional delegation or the threat of a lawsuit by the state might influence his decision.
North Dakota’s Industrial Commission, which regulates the oil and gas industry, was to meet in a closed session Tuesday afternoon to discuss a possible lawsuit. The group is comprised of the governor, attorney general and agriculture commissioner.
State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms, who traveled to Washington in February to testify against the bill, has said previously that North Dakota will sue if the bill becomes law.
The volatility of oil trains drew widespread public attention following several explosive derailments, including one in 2013 in Lac-Megantic, Quebec that killed 47 people. Washington’s bill is aimed at boosting safety for schools and homes that are near passing oil trains, according to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig, the sponsor.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — One person has died in a three-vehicle collision on an icy bridge in McKenzie County.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 48-year-old Wishek man was killed Monday when his Chevy Suburban was struck head-on by a pickup truck that skidded out of control on the Highway 58 bridge over the Missouri River. The driver of a third vehicle tried to avoid that collision, but struck the pickup. Three passengers in the truck suffered minor injuries.
The crash closed the highway for about 3½ hours.

In world and national news…
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The ambassador to Washington representing Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó says the U.S. played no role in coordinating the uprising in Caracas against President Nicolás Maduro.
Carlos Vecchio said in a news conference that the protest “is a movement headed by Venezuelans” and the U.S. didn’t intervene.
The United States has recognized Guaidó as Venezuela’s legitimate president and Vecchio as its ambassador in Washington because it sees Maduro’s re-election invalid.
U.S. officials were quick to issue statements of support after Guaidó appeared in the streets Tuesday to call for the military and civilians to rise up.
Demonstrators have been clashing with pro-Maduro troops, but the revolt so far seems to have only limited military backing.
WASHINGTON (AP) — White House press secretary Sarah Sanders says Tuesday’s infrastructure meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers was “excellent and productive.”
Sanders says the United States has not come close to properly investing in infrastructure for many years, “foolishly prioritizing the interests of other countries over our own.” She did not elaborate.
Trump met with Democratic lawmakers at the White House, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying afterward Trump agreed to a $2 trillion price tag for infrastructure investments.
Still, the two sides haven’t decided on how to pay for it.
Sanders says a meeting on funding will take place in three weeks.
She also says Trump and Democratic leaders have agreed to a future meeting to discuss prescription drug prices.
She says the president believes drug prices should be much lower.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic chairs of two congressional committees that subpoenaed President Donald Trump’s financial records say his lawsuit to try to block their efforts is “meritless.”
House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff and House Financial Services Committee chair Rep. Maxine Waters issued a joint statement after the lawsuit was filed Monday in New York.
Trump, three of his children and the Trump Organization filed the suit against Deutsche (DOY’-chuh) Bank and Capital One in an attempt to block the subpoenas.
The financial institutions were subpoenaed this month as part of investigations into the Republican president’s finances.
Schiff and Waters say Congress “will not be deterred from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.” They allege the lawsuit is designed to “put off meaningful accountability as long as possible.”
Deutsche Bank says it’s “committed to providing appropriate information to all authorized investigations.” Capital One hasn’t responded to a request for comment.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is proposing charging asylum-seekers a fee to process their applications as he continues to crack down on the surge of migrants crossing into the U.S.
In a presidential memorandum signed Monday, Trump is directing his attorney general and acting homeland security secretary to take additional measures to overhaul the asylum system, which he insists is “in crisis.”
He’s giving them 90 days to propose regulations so that, all asylum applications are adjudicated within 180 days, except for those representing exceptional circumstances.
Trump also wants to charge asylum-seekers to process their asylum and employment authorization applications. And he wants to bar anyone who has entered or tried to enter the country illegally from receiving authorization that allows them to work.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Some people told they have Alzheimer’s may instead have a newly identified mimic of the disease.
Too often, the word dementia is used interchangeably with Alzheimer’s when there are multiple brain changes that harm memory and thinking skills, not just the telltale plaques and tangles of Alzheimer’s.
Tuesday, scientists said a buildup of an abnormal protein named TDP-43 sometimes causes dementia, especially in the oldest-old. Researchers defined the disorder in the journal Brain, one of a list of dementia causes that includes strokes and the buildup of clumps of another protein.
For now, TDP-43 can be spotted only on autopsy. A next step is a better test. Researchers said it’s critical to get better at telling dementias apart if they’re ever to uncover good treatments.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — The first black woman to serve as American University’s student government president is seeking more than $1.5 million in court-ordered damages against a neo-Nazi website operator who orchestrated an online harassment campaign against her.
In a court filing Monday, Taylor Dumpson’s attorneys asked a federal judge in Washington for a default judgment against The Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin and a follower who racially harassed Dumpson on Twitter. Dumpson sued Anglin and the internet troll last April, but neither responded.
Dumpson seeks a total of more than $1.8 million in damages, including $1.5 million in punitive damages against Anglin and his company.
Anglin already faces a default judgment in a separate lawsuit filed by a Muslim-American radio host.
Anglin didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Dumpson’s request.
