Valley City (CSi) CHI Mercy Health (Mercy Hospial) in Valley City announces that it has implemented the latest in digital technology for mammograms.

Mammographer Barbara Waite-Clark says, “We have the latest in digital technology right here in this hospital, and it’s a lot more comfortable and personable right here.”

She adds, that one in eight women in the U.S., will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetimes.

She states that women should begin having mammograms when they turn forty, “Because by the time they turn fifty, it could be too late. Breast cancer needs to be caught early. It’s not the number of women who develop breast cancer, but it’s how young they are when they do.”

The equipment used for mammography at Mercy is now all digital. The room is easily accessible, especially for the handicapped.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The two suspects in the fatal shooting of a man in Grand Forks in June have pleaded not guilty to murder and burglary charges.

     Thirty-year-old Delvin Shaw and 18-year-old Dametrian Welch are charged in the death of 24-year-old Jose Lopez.   They could face life in prison without parole if convicted.

     Authorities say Lopez was shot three times in his apartment on June 24. Welch was arrested in Grand Forks the next day. Shaw was arrested in St. Paul, Minnesota, four days after the shooting.

     Welch’s attorney on Monday asked for a reduction in his client’s $500,000 bond but Judge Sonja Clapp refused.

     Shaw is being held without bond. He’s due in court Thursday for a review of that order.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Bismarck police responding to a parking violation arrested a Minot man wanted in Williams County for allegedly exploiting an 85-year-old woman out of $100,000.

Twenty-one-year-old Joseph Sherlock was wanted in Williams County on warrants for felony theft and exploitation. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.

Sherlock allegedly overcharged the woman for work at her home. Officers arrested him at a Bismarck restaurant on Saturday night. He’ll be taken to Williston to answer to the charges.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – About 15 airmen from the Minot Air Force Base are set to return home after a six-month deployment in southwest Asia.

     The North Dakota Air National Guard says the airmen form the 219th Security Forces Squadron will arrive to Minot on Tuesday.

     The Guard says the airmen were deployed in support of U.S. Central Command operations. In Minot, the unit works with active duty airmen, helping to protect missile fields.

     The airmen are scheduled to arrive at 11:30 p.m. at Minot International Airport.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple says value-added energy business is the future of North Dakota’s economy.

     Dalrymple and North Dakota’s congressional delegation spoke Tuesday at the eighth annual Great Plains and EmPower ND Energy Conference at Bismarck State College. The conference features energy policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.

     Dalrymple pointed to a proposed $4 billion factory that would convert ethane from natural gas into a material used for plastics. He also pointed to a proposed $3 billion Spiritwood plant that would convert natural gas into fertilizer.

     About one-third of the natural gas produced in North Dakota is burned off due to a lack of infrastructure. Dalrymple says that’s a problem but steps are being taken to reduce flaring. U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer says North Dakota businesses have responded to the challenge.
