Jamestown (JPD) Jamestown Police report that on Sunday, April 26, 2020, at approximately 10:48-p.m. police were dispatched to the 1600 block of 11 Ave NE, to investigate a report of a domestic assault which had just occurred. The female victim reported she had been cut by the female suspect with a knife, in her leg, and had also received death threats from her. The victim told dispatchers she had locked herself and her infant child in a bedroom at the residence and was currently unable to get out of the residence, as the suspect was also still inside.

Assistant Police Chief, Major Justin Blinsky reported, Jamestown Police Officers arrived on the scene and made an immediate forced entry into the apartment. Officers were able to evacuate the 34-year-old victim and her infant child, after entry was made. The female victim and her child were provided medical aid and the victim was transported to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries from her knife wound. Officers determined the victim and suspect know one another and are currently in a domestic relationship.

The female suspect remained inside the apartment and had barricaded herself in a different portion of the apartment. The suspect began threatening self-harm with a knife. Officers continued to communicate with the female suspect, trying to get her to come out of the apartment safely. After receiving verification from the victim that no one else was inside the residence, officers set up a perimeter and continued to communicate with the female suspect through the breached apartment door.

At approximately 11:34-p.m., the female suspect walked toward Officers standing in the hallway, while holding the knife in her hand and she refused orders stop or to put the knife down. Officers were forced to use a less-lethal weapon to deploy a less-lethal bean bag projectile at her. The less-lethal projectile was effective as it struck the female suspect and it stopped her from further advancing toward officers. The suspect went back inside the apartment.

Crisis Negotiators from the James-Valley Special Operations Team were called to the scene and continued communications with the female suspect.

1:42-a.m. Monday after lengthy negotiations, the female suspect complied with lawful orders to put down the knife and to come out of the apartment. She was taken into custody without further incident.

The female suspect has been identified as 47-year-old Nicole Maree Bearking of Jamestown. Bearking was arrested on suspicion of Aggravated Assault and Terrorizing. She was initially transported to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for medical evaluation and then later transported to Stutsman County Corrections, to await formal charges.

The Jamestown Police Department was assisted by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and Jamestown Area Ambulance. This incident remains under investigation.

Bismarck – Gov Doug Burgum has endorsed Jim Grueneich and Mike Brandenburg to represent Dist 28 in the ND House. The Governor also endorsed Senator Bob Erbele in his re-election bid.

In his endorsement, Governor Burgum said:

“We are excited to endorse Jim Grueneich, Mike Brandenburg, and Bob Erbele to represent District 28. As legislators Jim, Mike, and Bob have partnered with our Administration to balance the budget, diversify the economy, and reinvent government.

Like Brent and me, this team understands the importance of treating taxpayers like customers and maintaining strong partnerships with the business community.

As we look ahead, we know it will be critically important to send more leaders to Bismarck who will partner with our Administration. We know we can count on the District 28 Team: Jim Grueneich, Mike Brandenburg, and Bob Erbele.”

In response to the Governor’s endorsement Grueneich, Brandenburg, and Erbele have issued the following joint statement:

“We are grateful to have the Governor’s support as we work together to deliver results for District 28. From Main Streets to agricultural operations, the Governor understands that it’s our small businesses that keep our community strong. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Governor Burgum to diversify the economy, balance the budget, and reinvent government.”

Jamestown (JRMC) April 23, 2020 — He rang the bell, knowing he’ll celebrate sometime soon. “We’ll make up for it,” said Bill Beals, New Rockford, N.D. “We need to stay positive.”

Beals graduated from the cancer center at Jamestown Regional Medical Center Monday after 18 months of treatment. Doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer in 2018. His family has supported him since the beginning, checking in, lending hands. Because of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, however, they couldn’t attend the graduation.
Instead, Beals celebrated with his medical team at the JRMC Cancer Center.

“Guys, I can’t thank you enough,” he said. “I wasn’t kidding about the golf. We have to go together sometime.”
Though social distancing guidelines kept them from attending the graduation, Beals’ three grown children kept in touch through phone calls, texting and Facebook Portal. “We’ll celebrate soon enough,” Beals said.

Once the bell ringing is complete, Beals said he’ll return to work as the office deputy at the Eddy County Sheriff’s Department. “It’s not like I’m going to be partying like a rock star,” he said, laughing from behind a surgical mask.
However, that day may come. Once the pandemic is over, he hopes to take a trip to Las Vegas with his family.
“Let’s get past this pandemic. Then, we’ll make the most of it and have some fun,” he said.

While a cancer diagnosis is rarely good news, for Beals, the timing probably saved his life. The victim of a work-related accident, Beals manages his chronic pain with a pain pump. When the pump wasn’t working, he asked his doctor if he could try something new. To do that required a chest x-ray.

That x-ray revealed Beals needed medical attention. Doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer on December 30, 2018.
“I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. I don’t feel sick,’” he recalled. “I didn’t want to believe it at first.”
Doctors recommended radiation and 24 rounds of chemotherapy. At the time, Beals needed to travel to Fargo for that care.

“The JRMC Cancer Center was a life-saver,” he said. “When you have chronic back pain, driving 200 miles in the car is a lot.” Beals’ attitude to cancer is a lot like his attitude to the pandemic interrupting his party – stay positive.
“Attitude is the biggest part of this thing,” he said. “I knew I was going to beat cancer. I always believed. Plus, everybody here is great. You couldn’t ask for better.”

In addition to clinical care, Beals made and re-acquainted with friends. Like Beals, Oncologist Dr. Shelby Terstriep is also originally from New Rockford.

“Graduation day” from chemo is always an awesome milestone,” Dr. Terstriep said. “Our staff get almost as excited as the person ringing the bell because with regular infusions, we get to know them so well. With hope, that makes not being able to have family present because of the pandemic a little bit easier for Bill and others.”
Her dad and Beals are good friends and Beals even catered her wedding.

“Being able to take care of people close to home has been a real highlight for me,” she said.
In addition to his oncologist, Beals said he looks forward to seeing registered nurses, K.C. Robison and Garret Hillius, in a social setting one day.

“Stories like Bill’s help drive a cancer nurse do what we do. All patients experience adversity during treatment. Bill never let that adversity get him down. From his first treatment here at JRMC, he knew he was going to ring that bell. Every time he walked through the front door, you knew he was in a good, positive mood. His personality and sense of humor made our days better. Our patients thank us for what we do for them, but an important thing that I think gets missed is that it’s people like Bill and many of our other patients that help us be the best nurses we can be. The way they view life and carry themselves in some of the toughest times is truly something to live by. It’s really exciting to see Bill finish his cancer treatment. Although we’ll miss him, we’re excited for him to move on and we wish him the best,” Hillius said.

Beals said he appreciates the support of his medical team, his family and even his colleagues in Eddy County. Even though he needed six weeks off for treatment in Fargo, Beals said his colleagues donated enough paid time off that he never missed a paycheck. “You don’t want to be by yourself in this,” he said. “I’m very fortunate.”

Jamestown Regional Medical Center is located at 2422 20th St. SW, Jamestown, N.D. and serves approximately 55,000 people in nine counties. In 2019, it was named a “Top 100 Critical Access Hospital” for the sixth consecutive year. Modern Healthcare named JRMC a “Best Places to Work in Healthcare” each year since 2017. For more information, visit www.jrmcnd.com or call (701) 952-1050.

Jamestown Regional Medical Center, in partnership with Sanford Health, opened the JRMC Cancer Center in 2019. The JRMC Cancer Center serves 100 people from Sanford and other healthcare organizations in the Jamestown area each month, saving more than 160,000 miles of travel each year.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has declared a statewide flood emergency in North Dakota. The governor’s office says spring flooding has caused an estimated $7 million in damage to infrastructure so far. Burgum issued the executive order on Friday. The order officially puts all state agencies, including the North Dakota National Guard, on standby to provide resources as needed. The order also activates the State Emergency Operations Plan to assist local and tribal officials and help restore services and infrastructure. Burgum says overland flooding and near-record river crests have caused extensive damage to roads as the state deals with the COVID-19 pandemic and “extremely challenging economic conditions.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s largest manufacturer, Doosan Bobcat, has resumed operations after daylong shutdown to clean the factory after an employee reported symptoms of the coronavirus. Doosan Bobcat public affairs director Stacey Breuer said in a statement the factory in Gwinner reopened Saturday night. It is unclear if the employee has tested positive for COVID-19. Health officials on Sunday said 867 people in North Dakota have tested positive for COVID-19. The North Dakota Department of Health on Sunday also reported one new death, a woman in her 80s from Cass County with underlying medical conditions, bringing the state’s total to 17.

NFL-SAINTS-WINSTON

AP source: Saints, Winston in ‘advanced’ negotiations

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the New Orleans Saints and quarterback Jameis Winston are working on a contract proposal to make the former Buccaneers starter a backup to Drew Brees. The person says the Saints and Winston are in “advanced” talks.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because negotiations were ongoing.

Winston passed for 5,109 yards and 33 touchdowns last season but also threw 30 interceptions. Tampa Bay has replaced Winston with ex-Patriots QB Tom Brady.

Meanwhile, the Saints says reserve QB Taysom Hill has a new two-year contract.

In other NFL news:

— Seattle Seahawks veteran offensive lineman D.J. Fluker said he has been released by the team after two seasons as their starting right guard. Fluker posted on Twitter that he had been informed by coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider of the decision. The move came two days after Seattle drafted Fluker’s heir apparent in LSU guard Damien Lewis in the third round of the NFL draft. Seattle has also added several interior offensive linemen this offseason, including B.J. Finney, Kahlil McKenzie and Chance Warmack. The move with Fluker will save Seattle about $3.6 million against the salary cap.

— Safety Kavon Frazier, who missed most of last season with a pectoral injury, has signed with the Miami Dolphins. Frazier was limited to four games in 2019 for the Dallas Cowboys before going on injured reserve. In four seasons with Dallas, he played 44 games, starting twice, and also contributed on special teams. Frazier becomes the 11th free agent to join the Dolphins this offseason. He was a sixth-round draft pick in 2016 out of Central Michigan.

NFL DRAFT-TV RATINGS

NFL draft averages record 8.4M viewers across 3 days

UNDATED (AP) — Seth Markman was just as nervous as NFL coaches and general managers about the unknown factors involved with a virtual draft. But the ESPN executive producer said he was overwhelmed with how everything came together over the three days. It also ended up being must-see TV as the first significant live sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic ground everything to a halt.

The draft averaged a record 8.4 million viewers over all three days, according to the NFL and Nielsen.

The previous high was 6.2 million last year.

MLB-CLEVELAND-FURLOUGHS

Indians to furlough some employees

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians will pay regular salaries to full-time employees through June 30, but the club has had to furlough others due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The team said senior executives took “voluntary salary reductions” to ensure the team could continue to pay staffers. The Indians confirmed they have furloughed many of their part-time employees and interns. Those will take effect on May 1.

The Indians are one of the few teams to guarantee full-time workers their salaries through June.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred told teams last week he was suspending non-player personnel contracts on May 1. Many teams agreed to pay employees through May.

Baseball has been shut down since March 12 and the start of the season remains unclear.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-FLORIDA-NEMBHARD

Nembhard declares for draft again

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida guards Andrew Nembhard and Tre Mann have declared for the NBA draft while keeping open the option of returning to school.The Gators made the announcement on the final day underclassmen had to decide on their futures.

Nembhard hired an NCAA-certified agent so he can retain his college eligibility and potentially return to school. He returned last year after not getting invited to the NBA scouting combine.

The sophomore averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 2019-20. Mann, a freshman, averaged 5.3 points off the bench.

Nembhard’s decision comes after two other Florida starters — guard Scottie Lewis and forward Keyontae Johnson — decided to stay in school.

The Gators seem to be equipped to handle both potential departures. They have Ques Glover and former Cleveland State standout Tyree Appleby to play the point next season.

In other college basketball news:

— San Diego State forward Matt Mitchell has declared for the NBA draft while keeping open the option of returning to school. The Aztecs made the announcement on the final day underclassmen had to decide on their futures. The school says Mitchell did not hire an agent, allowing him to maintain his collegiate eligibility. Mitchell has until June 3 to withdraw his name from draft consideration and return to SDSU for his final season. Mitchell started the season as the sixth man but started the final 19 games. He was named to the All-Mountain West first team.

— South Carolina forward A.J. Lawson is entering the NBA draft for a second straight season. Lawson is a 6-foot-6 sophomore who also went through the process after his freshman season. Like a year ago, Lawson is not hiring an agent giving him the chance to return to the Gamecocks. Lawson started all 31 games for South Carolina, averaging a team-best 13.4 points a game. Lawson had until Sunday to enter the draft. He has until June 3 to pull his name out and return for his junior season.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-CUOMO-BASEBALL

Governor envisions baseball without fans this season

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he can envision baseball games being played without fans this summer at Yankee Stadium and the Mets’ Citi Field.

The Democrat said “Be creative. Try to figure it out,” during his briefing Sunday. Adding that if players could get paid more than staying home and owners would get some revenue versus total shutdown, why not? He’d love to watch.

Cuomo says he has spoken with owners of professional sports teams, but he did not identify which ones. They would have to make the economics work without gate revenue but with broadcast revenue.

Cuomo said that everybody has to think outside the box, because there is no box.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-BULL RIDING

Bull Riding resumes, but no fans

GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA (AP) — The Professional Bull Riders returned from a 41-day break this weekend in Guthrie, Oklahoma, for an Unleash The Beast event originally scheduled for Las Vegas.

In world and national news…

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s reopening is set to continue as more restrictions against the coronavirus are loosened in the big Southern state. Movie theaters on Monday can welcome customers and limited in-restaurant dining may resume. This comes after other businesses, including barbershops, gyms, tattoo shops and nail salons, were allowed to start seeing customers Friday. Many establishments gratefully opened their doors after a monthlong closure, but others didn’t feel ready yet amid the pandemic and remained shuttered. A similar mixed response is expected from the businesses allowed to reopen Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two-thirds of business economists say that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy is “about right,” a sharp contrast to President Donald Trump’s criticism of the Fed. A survey by the National Association for Business Economics found that just 4% of economists consider the Fed’s interest rate policies to be “too restrictive,” meaning they believe the central bank’s benchmark rate should be lower. One-third say they are “too stimulative.” That’s a change from February 2019, the NABE said, when three-quarters of economists thought the Fed was on the right track.

BEIJING (AP) — Global share prices have advanced after Japan’s central bank promised more support for financial markets as countries prepare to reopen economies that were shut down to fight the coronavirus pandemic. European markets opened higher while Tokyo’s market benchmark surged 2.7% and Shanghai, Hong Kong and Australia advanced. Investors are looking ahead to meetings of U.S. and European central bankers this week for more measures to reverse the biggest global slump since the 1930s. European governments including Italy and Spain are preparing to ease anti-virus curbs while President Donald Trump is pressing U.S. state governors to reopen businesses.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A federal trial opening Monday could help settle whether impoverished Florida felons can be denied the right to vote. Voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment in 2018 that allowed felons to regain the right to vote. But the Florida Republican-controlled Legislature passed a bill that was later signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis stipulating that felons must pay all legal financial obligations before their voting rights can be restored. A consolidated class action suit before a U.S. District judge in Tallahassee will consider the constitutional merits of that law. In a state that holds great sway in national politics, the case could have wide ramifications.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A top South Korean official says his country is confident there have been no “unusual developments” in North Korea, suggesting that rumors about the possible ill health of leader Kim Jong Un are untrue. Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul told a closed-door forum that South Korea has “enough intelligence to confidently say that there are no unusual developments” in rival North Korea that back up speculation about Kim Jong Un’s health. He said he will not reveal what specific intelligence led to that conclusion, but stressed that it had undergone a complex analysis. The rumors about Kim’s health began to swirl after he missed a key event on April 15.
