Jamestowm  (JRMC)   — Sometimes, we are our own barrier to our best health.

“We know it’s hard for women to make time for themselves,” said JRMC Gynecologist Dr. Gregg McAdoo. “That’s why No Excuses is so special. It makes it easy.”

No Excuses reduces barriers to care, including insurance coverage, transportation or appointment times during the regular business day. The goal of No Excuses is to increase the number of area women who receive regular Pap smear test screenings and 3D mammograms.

“These screenings are an important step in living a healthy life,” Dr. McAdoo said.

Central Valley Health and Jamestown Regional Medical Center created No Excuses in 2015. Since then, more than 100 women have received 3D mammograms and preventative services they otherwise wouldn’t have. At any given time, more than 1,300 Stutsman County women are not up to date on their screenings.

No Excuses is only possible because of the community’s generosity, said JRMC Foundation Director Lisa Jackson. In 14 years, the hundreds of Running of the Pink participants have raised more than $165,000 for this cause. R.M. Stoudt Inc. organizes the walk/run each year.

“No Excuses is important to us,” said Tara Kapp, Business Development Center and Internet Manager for R.M. Stoudt. “We hope this encourages women to make themselves a priority and put their health and well-being at the top of their to-do lists.”

Who should receive Pap smear tests and 3D mammograms is unique to every individual, however, doctors offer some general guidelines.

The 3D mammogram image gives a clearer and more accurate picture of the breast – meaning doctors can detect cancer faster. Most women ages 40 and older should receive one every year.

Most women ages 21 and older should receive a Pap smear test. Most women ages 21 to 65 repeat them every three to five years, Dr. McAdoo said.

“Women deserve the best,” said Trisha Jungels, JRMC Chief Nursing Officer. “That’s why we offer state-of-the-art equipment and the most highly trained specialists like Dr. McAdoo.”

No Excuses is for all women – students, moms, grandmothers and professionals.

“If you’ve never had these screenings, or it’s been a long time, you are definitely the woman we are looking for,” said Robin Iszler, registered nurse and unit administrator at Central Valley Health.

This year, No Excuses is set for:

• Tuesday, Oct. 5 from noon to 6 p.m.
• Tuesday, Nov. 16 from noon to 6 p.m.

For more information on No Excuses, visit https://jrmcnd.com/no-excuses/. Appointments can be made online or over the phone. To schedule a mammogram for any other day, call JRMC Mammography at (701) 952-4852.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man accused of injuring a baby has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of child neglect and has been sentenced to time already served in jail. Phillip Boswell was initially accused of breaking the baby’s arm and causing a permanent disability. But after prosecutors admitted in court Wednesday that they can’t prove Boswell was the one who actually hurt her, his felony child abuse charge was amended to child neglect. Boswell acknowledged he failed to take the baby to the hospital for treatment for up to nine days after the child was injured. Boswell was sentenced to 360 days in jail with all but the 56 days he already served suspended.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A map for new North Dakota legislative districts is slowly taking shape. Among the proposals so far are those that create a new district in the Fargo area and a pair in the oil-producing region in the western part of the state. The Republican-led redistricting committee held its fourth meeting on Thursday. It’s focused on keeping 47 districts, instead of changing size of the Legislature. The addition of the three new districts means three rural districts somewhere will have to be eliminated. The committee expects a draft statewide plan to be completed next week for public review.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says more time is needed with federal lawyers to negotiate a settlement for money that the state claims it spent on policing protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline. North Dakota filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2019, seeking to recover more than $38 million in damages from the monthslong pipeline protests almost five years ago. State and federal lawyers met for more than three hours at the federal courthouse in Bismarck Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Judge Alice Senechal presided over the negotiations, and suggested more time would be needed to reach an agreement.

 

 

 

Minneapolis  (KFGO)   – A former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder in George Floyd’s death has pleaded not guilty to violating a teenager’s civil rights in a separate case that involved a restraint similar to the one used on Floyd.

Derek Chauvin was convicted this year on state charges of murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s 2020 death.

He’s also charged in federal court with violating Floyd’s civil rights. But another indictment against Chauvin alleges he carried out a similar act against a then-14-year-old boy in 2017. This indictment alleges Chauvin deprived the teenager, who is Black, of his rights when held his knee on the boy’s neck and upper back while the boy was prone, handcuffed and not resisting.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s “build back better” agenda is poised to be the most far-reaching federal investment since FDR’s New Deal or LBJ’s Great Society. The prodigious effort to tax the rich and shift money into projects and programs would touch the lives of nearly every American. As Democrats craft the $3.5 trillion package, Americans will have to assess: Is this what they signed up for when Biden won the White House? Lawmakers on the front lines are about to find out. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the House Democrats’ campaign committee, says, “We’re doing hard things.”

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Opposition from some leading moderate Democrats over a $3.5 trillion budget proposal championed by the party’s most-liberal, progressive wing has left the party grappling with deeper ideological questions. Fully embracing an unprecedented expansion of the federal social safety net could jeopardize the bill’s passage and ultimately alienate independent and moderate Democrats ahead of next year’s midterm elections. But scaling back ambitions might disillusion progressives who the party will need to turnout in 2022, when Republicans believe they are poised to take back control of Congress.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s summer of love with Europe appears to have come to an abrupt end. After promising European leaders that “America is back” and that multilateral diplomacy would guide U.S. foreign policy, Biden has angered and alienated numerous allies with a go-it-alone approach on several key issues that some have compared to his predecessor, Donald Trump. The latest is a new security initiative for the Indo-Pacific that notably excluded France and the European Union. The French foreign minister expressed “total incomprehension” at the new alliance. He said, “It was really a stab in the back” and “It looks a lot like what Trump did.”

 

(AP)  The Dutch foreign minister has resigned after the lower house of parliament passed a motion of censure against the government over its handling of evacuations from Afghanistan amid the Taliban takeover of the country. The minister, Sigrid Kaag, had acknowledged the government’s slow or muddled response to warnings about the Afghanistan situation meant some local staff and people who had worked as translators for Dutch troops in the country had not been evacuated before or after the Taliban’s swift sweep to power. After parliament passed the motion of censure on Thursday, she immediately said she would tender her resignation, saying that parliament had decided “that the Cabinet has acted irresponsibly.”

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions Thursday against five men in Turkey suspected of providing financial and travel services to al-Qaida. The five are a mix of Turkish and Egyptian nationals who Treasury said have provided courier and other services to senior members of the organization that carried out the 9/11 attacks and other plots against the U.S. Treasury’s designation of the men freezes any assets they have under U.S. jurisdiction and shuts them out of much of the global financial system. It is part of a long-running U.S. campaign to shut down the support network for al-Qaida and interfere with their operations.
