\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The latest cold snap of the winter shattered records around the Dakotas over the weekend, but a warm-up appears to be in store.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In North Dakota, Jamestown, Grand Forks, Fargo, Minot, Dickinson and Bismarck all set records Saturday or Sunday for record low high temperatures for the date. National Weather Service reports show that the temperature didn’t rise above zero in any of the cities, and in Minot and Grand Forks it didn’t get any warmer than minus 11 on Saturday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In South Dakota, Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Aberdeen set similar records over the weekend.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wind chills early Monday in the two states were in the minus teens and 20s, but the forecast called for lows above zero and high temperatures in the teens, 20s and 30s by midweek.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) 2013 crime statistics for Jamestown are down compared to 2012.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown Police Department released its annual report for 2013.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Police Chief Scott Edinger says he is seeing some upward trends related to the population increases in western North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Police responded to 16,661 calls for service in 2013, down 3 percent from 17,188 in 2012.<\/p>\n

Edinger said he attributes the drop to available housing having peaked, and turnover in he police department.<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t add any population until we add housing, so that\u2019s why we\u2019re leveling off,” he said.<\/p>\n

Warrant arrests in 2011 were at 261up almost 35 percent to 352 in 2012. In 2013, there were 486 warrant arrests, up 38 percent from last year.<\/p>\n

Edinger said a good number of the warrant arrests were for people from the Oil Patch who came to Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Down was the number of DUIs, There were 130 DUIs in 2013, down 43 from 2012 when there were 173.<\/p>\n

Edinger said DUI enforcement is one area where the turnover rate of police officers has had an impact.<\/p>\n

There was increase in speeding citation. In 2011, 191 speeding tickets, were issued. That number dropped to 94 in 2012 and jumped to 232 in 2013. Edinger said most of the increase is attributed to more enforcement efforts and more people traveling to the western part of the state to work in the Oil Patch.<\/p>\n

Two other areas where increased population in other parts of the state are impacting Jamestown are in sex offender registrations and commitments to the North Dakota State Hospital. Sex offender registration went from 465 in 2012 to 545 in 2013. Edinger said this number is a little misleading in that when a sex offender registers in Jamestown, his registry is checked each month.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) Radiology Department has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography (CT) as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). CT scanning – sometimes called CAT scanning – is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and tailor treatments for various medical conditions.<\/p>\n

Diane Nelson, JRMC Radiology Manager, says, “We are so pleased and honored to have received the ACR CT accreditation. It was a time and resource intensive process to submit data. The ACR accreditation exemplifies the ultimate standard in quality performance of CT procedures.”<\/p>\n

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.<\/p>\n

Ms. Nelson adds, “Patients can be assured that when they come to JRMC to have their CT scans done, they will be receiving the best care with extremely high quality images and accurate, timely records by highly skilled professional.” The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 36,000 diagnostic\/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Medical Center is a 25-bed, critical access hospital located at 2422 20th St. SW, Jamestown, ND. For more information on services at JRMC, visit www.jrmcnd.com or call 701-952-1050.<\/p>\n

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A monthly economic index for nine Midwestern and Plains states has dropped slightly but still suggests growth over the next three to six months.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The overall Mid-America Business Conditions Index fell to 57.4 in February from 57.7 in January.

\u00a0HARWOOD, N.D. (AP) – A small town on the outskirts of Fargo has decided against hiring one of its own citizens to hand out citations for minor violations.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Harwood officials had asked North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem for an opinion on whether it was legal to use citizens to handle non-criminal annoyances like illegal parking and barking dogs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the practice is perfectly acceptable and has been enacted in some of the larger cities. But Harwood decided after further review it was too expensive and no one wanted the job anyway.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Other towns in the fast-growing area have been contracting out for help with minor violations.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Horace, located to the southwest of Fargo, pays about $36,000 a year for a Cass County sheriff’s deputy to patrol the area each day.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Industrial Commission is considering a proposal designed to lessen the impacts of oil development in the western part of the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The commission regulates oil and gas development in the state. Gov. Jack Dalrymple, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring and Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem make up the panel.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem last year submitted the proposed list of 18 places for special protection. The so-called special or extraordinary places list includes private and public land, including the Little Missouri National Grasslands and Lake Sakakawea.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem’s proposal has been criticized by some Republican lawmakers and oil and farm groups.\u00a0 Conservation groups have supported to plan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Horse Park in Fargo is planning a three-week racing season in July, its longest meet in five years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state racing commission on Friday approved $115,000 in promotional funds for the Fargo track and an equal amount to the Chippewa Downs track in Belcourt.
\n\u00a0
