Jamestown (CSi) No time? No Insurance? No support team? No excuses. Together, JRMC, JRMC Foundation, Central Valley Health and ND Women’s Way have partnered to eliminate barriers to allow women to needed care. On Tuesday, June 14, 2016 from 8 am to 5 pm, JRMC and Central Valley Health are hosting a screening and mammogram day at Jamestown Regional Medical Center. No appointments needed.
JRMC Foundation and Women’s Way pay for mammograms and advanced screening technology for uninsured and underinsured women in the region. The mammograms are paid for by the annual “RM Stoudt Running of the Pink” 5/10K walk and run each June and other special events. We want women to find breast cancer early. It can mean the difference between having a lumpectomy and a mastectomy, needing chemotherapy or not, and having radiation or no radiation.
Women are welcome to schedule in advance by calling (701) 952-4878, however, no appointment is needed. Please arrive to the JRMC Clinic on Tuesday, June 14th and check-in at the registration desk. They will be expecting you. Our teams will assist in coordinating your care to ensure there are no barriers.
For Screening and Mammogram Day, expect to be registered at JRMC. Please have a form of ID ready. Next, you will have a physical exam by a provider from Central Valley Health. This is only required if you do not have a primary physician. After the exam, you will receive a 3D mammogram from one of JRMC’s qualified mammography technicians. Mammograms are quick, about 5-10 minutes. Any discomfort from breast compression is brief.
To receive the mammography results, an appointment and initial screening or primary care visit is necessary. The initial screening can include seeing a provider at Central Valley Health at JRMC on Screening and Mammogram Day.
GARRISON, N.D. (AP) – A crash involving a pickup truck and a farm chemical sprayer in McLean County killed a Garrison man.
The Highway Patrol says the 57-year-old man was driving the sprayer across U.S. Highway 83 northeast of Garrison when it was struck by the pickup about 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
The Garrison man was pronounced dead at a Minot hospital. The 28-year-old Minot man driving the pickup was treated for undisclosed injuries and released. The patrol did not immediately name either man.
The crash shut down the northbound lanes of the highway for about 5 1/2 hours.
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Authorities have identified a 16-year-old boy who drowned in Devils Lake.
Jacob Wentz, of Crary, was swimming with a group of friends Friday evening when he went under.
He was swimming about 30 yards offshore in water that was 15-20 feet deep. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Ramsey County Sheriff Steve Nelson says authorities have classified the death as an accidental drowning.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Attorney’s Office says an Arizona man found guilty of conspiring to distribute meth from Arizona to the Williston area of North Dakota was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Christopher Myers says that 31-year-old Rocky Thomas Mayfield, of Goodyear, Arizona, was sentenced Monday.
He was convicted in February of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, two counts of possession with intent to distribute and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Mayfield received concurrent sentences on the different counts.
Officers arrested Mayfield in February 2015 during a traffic stop near Berthold after they discovered about one pound of methamphetamine in a car he rented. Investigators later found an additional 10 pounds in a Minot hotel.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Trial has been delayed more than two months for a man accused of killing one man and critically injuring another on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.
The attorney for Dallas Thundershield says he needs more time to prepare. Federal prosecutors didn’t object to the request, and U.S. District Court Chief Judge Ralph Erickson moved the trial start from July 5 to Sept. 20.
Thundershield is accused of killing Richard Dumarce Sr. and injuring Elvis Demarce in an April 9 fight that began while the three were driving around with Thundershield’s girlfriend.
Thundershield is accused of using his vehicle, his booted foot and a knife as weapons. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and assault charges, and remains in custody while awaiting trial.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakotans will vote in November on a constitutional amendment that supporters believe will bolster the rights of crime victims in the state.
Secretary of State Al Jaeger announced Monday that supporters turned in 34,398 legal signatures, considerably more than the 26,904 names needed to put the idea on the statewide ballot.
North Dakota and South Dakota are among several states where national victims’ rights advocates are pushing the so-called Marsy’s Law measure, now in effect in California and Illinois.
Groups representing North Dakota defense attorneys and prosecutors say changing the constitution to include the proposal is a bad idea and will have unintended consequences. They say laws already are on the books that protect victims of violent crimes.
NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) – An oil company is planning to drill 11 wells near one of the busiest boat ramps on Lake Sakakawea.
Slawson Exploration Co. wants to put the well pad 1,000 feet from the Van Hook Resort boat ramp parking lot. The original plan was for a site about 300 feet away, but it was moved to protect the endangered piping plover.
The oil pad has been approved by state regulators and is under review by federal officials. The Bureau of Land Management has extended the public comment period a month, through July 5.
Terry Fleck is a Van Hook cabin owner and chairman of the Friends of Lake Sakakawea group. He says he’s appalled by the proposed location.
Slawson says the proposed site is safe.

In world and national news…
BOSTON (AP) – The FBI says the man who attacked a gay nightclub in Orlando called the Boston Marathon bombers his “homeboys.” An official with the FBI’s Boston division says Omar Mateen made the reference to Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) brothers during a 911 call he made early Sunday inside a nightclub where he killed 49 people. Authorities say evidence collected so far shows no connection between Mateen and the Tsarnaev brothers.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Democrats say they will try forcing a vote on making it harder for suspected terrorists or people on the government’s terror watch lists to buy guns. The lawmakers say they’ll offer the same legislation the Senate rejected last December by California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It would let the government block guns sales to people on terrorism watch lists or to those it suspects of possible terror activities.
ORLANDO (AP) – Hospital officials say they are “very optimistic” that the nightclub shooting victims being treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center will recover. Orlando Health officials tweeted Monday that they no longer need to give “major amounts of blood” to shooting victims. The hospital says many survivors had “multiple high-velocity” gunshot wounds and many in the intensive care unit no longer need ventilators to breathe.
BALTIMORE (AP) – A Baltimore police officer testifying against a van driver charged in the death of Freddie Gray says he told the driver Gray needed to go to a hospital. But Officer William Porter also suggested that he and his colleagues have learned to be skeptical about requests for medical help, since many detainees try to avoid jail by faking injuries. He says Gray “said the magic words” about needing to go to the hospital. Porter is also facing charges in Gray’s death. Prosecutors are trying to show Goodson gave Gray a “rough ride” and was negligent when he failed to take Gray to the hospital.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – It will be a jury — not a judge — that considers hate crimes and other charges against the man charged in the shooting deaths of nine parishioners at a black South Carolina church. A U.S. district judge says jurors will decide whether Dylann Roof is guilty in his federal trial. If Roof is convicted, a jury will also hear arguments on a possible death sentence.
