Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 The U.S. Army Corp\u00a0 of Engineers, on Friday (Apr 21, 2017) will increase the Jamestown Dam release from 450 cfs, to 650 cfs.<\/p>\n
Bob Martin says the increase in the release will raise the James River level in Jamestown by about one foot.<\/p>\n
He adds that adjustments may be necessary at the Oxbow gate in Jamestown, to accommodate the increased release.<\/p>\n
He says the reason for the increase is a combination of recent rainfall, and still some snow melt in the upper basin.<\/p>\n
He says earlier this week Woodworth reported 1.40 inches of rain.<\/p>\n
Jamestown recorded .99 inch of rain.<\/p>\n
He adds, Jamestown Reservoir is eight feet into the flood storage area.<\/p>\n
Plans are to have that eliminated by June 1, 2017.<\/p>\n
The Pipestem Reservoir is 18 feet in the flood storage area.\u00a0 The Pipestem Dam release will be remain at zero cfs. When Jamestown Reservoir’s level is out of flood storage, Pipestem Dam\u2019s release will be increased, to reach freeze up by this fall.<\/p>\n

Valley City\u00a0 (CHI) \u00a0 Patients at CHI Mercy Health will soon benefit from access to the latest computed tomography (CT) diagnostic technology made possible through a grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust\u2019s Rural Healthcare Program.
\nHelmsley has awarded CHI Mercy Health $400,000 for a new 64-slice CT scanner. CT scanners provide essential diagnostic images of structures inside the body. A new CT scanner will allow for faster scans that produce high-quality images, allowing medical staff to quickly determine health status and course of treatment while giving patients access to up-to-date healthcare technology close to home.
\n\u201cCHI Mercy Health is truly blessed to be awarded a CT Scanner Grant through the Helmsley Charitable Trust. Imaging services are used by every patient care department within our facility\u2014from inpatient to emergency to outpatient diagnostics. Offering the only CT scanner in Barnes County, CHI Mercy Health will be able to continue to provide a local option for diagnosis and monitoring for our community,\u201d said Keith Heuser, President, CHI Mercy Health.
\nCHI Mercy Health is one of 41 grant recipients across the region to benefit from this round of funding to purchase CT scanners. Helmsley\u2019s Rural Healthcare Program has granted over $30 million to support the
\npurchase of new, 32-slice or higher CT scanners in a seven-state region.
\n\u201cOur goal is to ensure that people who live in rural America have access to quality healthcare as close to home as possible,\u201d said Walter Panzirer, a trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust. \u201cTo achieve this, rural hospitals need to be viable and they need to have up-to-date equipment, so patients can receive essential healthcare services locally. This initiative is one of many that aims to improve healthcare access and health outcomes across the upper Midwest.\u201d
\nThe funding initiative was the result of a survey of Critical Access Hospitals in the Rural Healthcare Program\u2019s seven-state funding region. Capital equipment, particularly CT scanners, was identified as a top need by many hospitals. In addition, a new Medicare policy went into effect January 1, 2016, that reduced reimbursement for certain studies on CT scanners that do not meet specific radiation dose requirements. Since 2015, the Helmsley Charitable Trust has awarded 78 grants totaling over $30 million to outfit hospitals with new, state-of-the-art CT scanners.<\/p>\n
