Valley City (Chamber 10-4-21) Here is the latest message to the Valley City Community from Mayor Dave Carlsrud.
Hello Everybody,
What beautiful fall weather we have been experiencing and more is forecast this week. Try to get out and enjoy it before ……… will, you know what comes next.
Did you ever think about being a “fire fighter” when you were younger? There are opportunities available in our VCFD now. Check with Chief Scott or Assistant Chief Lance at 701-845-3351, the VCFD may be a good fit for you.
COVID is hospitalizing many unvaccinated people. Be safe, be vaccinated.
VCSU celebrated its Homecoming last weekend with a myriad of activities including banquet recognitions, a parade, and a football game to name a few. Many VCSU Alumni and families returned to join in the festivities.
OFFICIATING: Have you wondered what it is like being a game official (referee)? There is a dire shortage of officials in our nation for numerous sports. North Dakota is no exception. The “total” number of officials isn’t too bad though there is great need in the rural areas. Becoming a game official is a great way of “giving back”. I will share that officiating is a very rewarding experience. Competing to make the right calls is exhilarating and the life long relationships with players, coaches, officials and fans are “priceless”. Ask an official about her/his experiences. Women & men alike, even if you think officiating is something you’d never do, please give it further thought. “Without officials, it is just a scrimmage”. For further information, call the NDHSAA @ 701-845-3953.
Thank you to contributors again this week.
“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” (Special Olympics Athlete’s Oath)
Blessings, Respect Others, Be Kind and Pray,
Dave

Jamestown (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.

Kendall Yackley (JR/Lynnwood, WA)’s two-run home run with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning gave the University of Jamestown baseball team a 9-7 victory over Dickinson State University and a sweep of Monday’s doubleheader.
The Jimmies trailed 7-6 going into their final at-bat, but Tanner Shepard (SR/Grand Rapids, MN) took the first pitch thrown by Alberto Nieto over the fence to tie the game at 7-7.
