Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The Jamestown City Fire department was called out around 12:30pm Friday for a natural gas leak at 619 5th Street Northeast. Large sheets of ice slid off the rear of the house and clipped the gas meter. Lt. Sheldon Mohr says MDU was called to the scene and disconnected the service line, and was to make repairs to the meter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not know if any other damages occurred.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

He says 27 City fire fighters responded to the all-call at the fire station, and 10 were dispatched to the scene, while the remainder were on standby.<\/p>\n

The fire department was on the scene about one hour.<\/p>\n

Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 \u00a0\u2013 Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia can be intimidating diseases to struggle with, and for many people, it\u2019s often caught too late.<\/p>\n

JRMC speech therapist Rebecca Gussiaas, is hoping to change that with a new service she is offering: Free memory screenings for people concerned about Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia.<\/p>\n

Early detection for Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia is key.<\/p>\n

Although dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s share similar symptoms, dementia is not a specific disease, but a broad term describing a wide range of mental process disorders, such as memory loss, personality changes, and impaired reasoning. Alzheimer\u2019s is a specific type of progressive dementia with no known cure. According to Alz.org, Alzheimer\u2019s is the number one cause of dementia in adults, with 1 in 9 adults over 65 suffering from it.<\/p>\n

Screenings are available by appointment from\u00a08 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m.\u00a0Monday\u00a0through\u00a0Friday.<\/p>\n

Early detection means patients and families can create strategies and routine before significant memory loss occurs. Developing strategies for memory loss helps individuals maintain independence as long as possible, Gussiaas said. Such strategies include setting alarms, creating calendars and posting reminders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a misconception that nothing can be done for people with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia, we can provide a lot of memory strategies to help them maintain independence longer,\u201d Gussiaas said.<\/p>\n

For the memory screening, Gussiaas identifies weaknesses in short-term memory and long-term memory in the patient, once the screening process is complete, Gussiaas then has an accurate picture of what recommendations should be made.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese early memory strategies can offer hope to patients and their families, and that\u2019s what I want to do: provide hope,\u201d Gussiaas said.<\/p>\n

Children and nursing home staff play an important role in early detection says Gussiaas. Changes to watch for are: increased forgetfulness, memory loss, or speech changes.<\/p>\n

In addition to free memory screenings, Gussiaas also offers pediatric screenings for parents concerned about speech impediments, (Stuttering or lisps) language delay, or overall language skills.<\/p>\n

JRMC Rehabilitation Manager Tracy Anderson says that offering free pediatric screenings can offer peace of mind to parents who are concerned about their child.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those parents who are scared that their kid\u2019s language skills are not developing, we can do a free screening and help guide those parents. We can give them recommendations,\u201d said Anderson.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what Gussiaas is treating, she stays focused on one thing- patient success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here to help the patient succeed. Their success is my success,\u201d said Gussiaas.<\/p>\n

Patients or parents interested in a free screening can contact JRMC Rehab at\u00a0(701) 952-4800<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CHI St. Alexius Health says the 131-year-old company is responding to the pressures of health care reform. St. Alexius is affiliated with the larger Catholic Health Initiative, which is operating at a loss and struggling with a credit rating downgrade.<\/p>\n

CHI St. Alexius has laid off another 19 employees in addition to 52 people who were let go in January. Less than a year ago, about five dozen employees were laid off or reassigned.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota’s Legislature is in its last week before its midseason break, and lawmakers are finishing up committee work and considering remaining bills in their respective chambers.<\/p>\n

Medical marijuana rules, guns and the fate of the state’s tobacco agency are among the issues to be debated this week as the session heads toward crossover.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers have acted on more than 80 percent of the 812 bills and resolutions that have been introduced.<\/p>\n

House Majority Leader Al Carlson and his Republican Senate counterpart, Rich Wardner, are planning at least two floor sessions daily Tuesday through Thursday to clear remaining measures.<\/p>\n

MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Minot officials have drafted a new governance structure for the city in hopes of giving momentum to its disaster resilience program.<\/p>\n

The Minot Daily News reports City Manager Tom Barry outlined the plan to the Minot City Council this month. It calls for hiring a program manager and employing a former finance director to assist with the transition.<\/p>\n

The city was awarded a $74 million National Disaster Resilience Grant a year ago. Barry’s plan would hire a manager to oversee the six-year program using part of the $3.7 million included for administration.<\/p>\n

Barry says the proposal would create clear areas of communication and responsibility. The plan includes team leaders in various project areas.<\/p>\n

BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Native Americans are hoping President Donald Trump doesn’t forget them as he promises to put “America first.”<\/p>\n

Tribes across the country have been reaching out to the Republican administration since it took office last month, saying they’re ready to help it achieve its campaign promises.<\/p>\n

Among them are five large tribes in Oklahoma as well as a tribe in Massachusetts seeking reservation lands for a $1 billion resort casino.<\/p>\n

The National Congress of American Indians says the administration needs to include tribes in its broader plans for tax reform and energy development.<\/p>\n

But tribes elsewhere have already steeled for battle. A rally is planned for March 10 in Washington D.C. following Trump’s order expediting the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration didn’t respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Jordan Murphy had 16 points and 15 rebounds and Eric Curry scored all 12 of his points in the second half to lift Minnesota<\/span> to its fifth straight victory, 83-78 in overtime over Michigan Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Reggie Lynch added 11 points and eight rebounds while battling foul trouble for most of the night for the Golden Gophers (20-7, 8-6 Big Ten), who overcame a furious rally from Michigan to inch closer to an NCAA tournament bid. The Gophers were just 28 of 41 from the line, but made 15 of their last 16 to hold off Michigan.<\/p>\n

Derrick Walton Junior scored 10 of his 16 points in the final five minutes of regulation and D.J. Wilson added 16 points, including the tying 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds to play in regulation, for the Wolverines (17-10, 7-7). But Michigan missed nine free throws and Walton missed a decent look from 3 in the closing seconds of overtime to allow the Gophers to escape.<\/p>\n

Ethan Happ had 20 points for Wisconsin, which trailed 33-27 at the break before improving to 11-3 in the conference. Bronson Koenig scored all nine of his points in the second half to help the Badgers overcome Melo (MEH’-loh) Trimble’s game-high 27 points for the Terrapins.<\/p>\n

The Terps are one game behind Wisconsin and Purdue with four games remaining in the conference schedule.<\/p>\n

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the trade is not official and has not been announced by either team.<\/p>\n

The deal pairs Cousins, a frontcourt All-Star from nearby Mobile, Alabama, with Anthony Davis, who on Sunday night was the 2017 All-Star MVP after scoring 52 points, breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s 1962 record of 42 points.<\/p>\n

NASCAR-DAYTONA 500<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 It’s impossible to tell the history of NASCAR without mentioning Elliott and Earnhardt.<\/p>\n

As the series shifts into a new era, those distinguished names are out front again and will give the start of the Daytona 500 a throwback feel.<\/p>\n

Chase Elliott and Dale Earnhardt Junior \u2014 teammates and sons of Hall of Fame drivers \u2014 will start 1-2 and should give a sagging series a sorely needed boost this week headed into its marquee event.<\/p>\n

Elliott nipped Earnhardt on the final qualifying lap Sunday to win his second straight pole for the Daytona 500. Elliott turned a lap at 192.872 mph to just edge Earnhardt’s speed of 192.864 and become the first repeat pole winner in 27 years.<\/p>\n

“I don’t really care who it is. I’m not going to feel bad about beating somebody,” Elliott said. “Dale’s a good guy. I’m happy to share the front row with him. Happier to beat him.”<\/p>\n

Earnhardt, long NASCAR’s most popular driver, had the speed to beat in his triumphant return after missing the second half of last season with a concussion. He missed the final 18 races with nausea, vision and balance issues after at least the fifth concussion of his career following a June wreck. He was as sharp as ever in the Number 88 Chevrolet headed into his first race since last July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MLB-DODGERS\/ORIOLES TRADE<\/p>\n

Dodgers send Nuno to Birds<\/p>\n

BAGHDAD (AP) \u2014 Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says nobody’s coming to take Iraq’s oil. He’s making an unannounced visit to Iraq as government forces engage in day two of the operation to retake the western portion of Mosul, the country’s second largest city. Mattis’ comment marks a shift away from an idea proposed by President Donald Trump that has rattled Iraq’s leaders, who are also unhappy their country is part of Trump’s travel ban.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The White House says it’s working with the Homeland Security Department to finalize policy on detaining and deporting immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
