A boat also sustained damage by the fire.<\/p>\n

An adjacent garage in the alley to the south had its siding burned and melted, but there appeared to be no structural damage. No other structures were involved.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community. That\u2019s the message organizers are touting with the 2015 National Hospital Week theme “Where Miracles Happen Every Day.”<\/p>\n

The event theme, announced this week, is the centerpiece of a promotional campaign aimed at uniting health care facilities across the country during the May 10\u201316 celebration.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Medical Center President and CEO, K.C. DeBoer says, “National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people. We\u2019re extremely proud of each member of our staff and physicians, and we recognize the important role they play in making a difference in the lives of our patients and our community.”<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s largest health care event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when it was suggested by a magazine editor who hoped a community wide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospitals. The celebration, launched in Chicago, succeeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the public and eventually spread to facilities across the country.<\/p>\n

JRMC is celebrating Hospital Week by holding several activities for staff throughout the week including a cake walk, bingo and root beer floats.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An attorney for the state says a North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent may have made a mistake when he gave away a confiscated pay loader that was bought in Iowa by a Forbes man, but the agent should not be required to pay for the loss.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state is appealing a judge’s order that agent Arnie Rummel pay nearly $54,000 for the loader, which was taken from Darrell Schrum’s shop because authorities believed the equipment was stolen.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Byers argued before the Supreme Court Monday that Judge Daniel Narum could have sanctioned Rummel, but there are too many questions about ownership to make Rummel financially liable.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schrum’s attorneys say Rummel did not have the authority to decide what to do with the loader.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Moisture ranging from half an inch to 4 inches over the past week has helped replenish soil moisture across North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop progress report that both topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies are rated only 19 percent short or very short, compared to 39 percent the previous week for topsoil and 33 percent for subsoil.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stock water supplies statewide are rated 91 percent adequate to surplus.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The rain and snow did slow crop planting, however, and the report says there are concerns in some areas that crops might have be replanted due to excess moisture.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Eighty-two percent of North Dakota’s staple spring wheat crop is in the ground. Sugar beet planting has wrapped up, and the seeding of potatoes is nearing the halfway mark.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – No threat has been found at a U.S. Air Force base in North Dakota that was locked down for two hours while base officials investigated a domestic violence report from local police.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lt. James Fisher says police in Grand Forks notified the Grand Forks Air Force Base around 5:30 p.m. Monday about a potential domestic violence incident on base.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The base was then put on lockdown while officials investigated. That meant vehicles weren’t being allowed onto the base.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fisher says the lockdown was lifted around 7:30 p.m. He says officials found “no validity to the initial report” of a domestic violence incident.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He said he could not provide details on what might have prompted that report.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) – Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt admitted to making a couple of mistakes in the waning moments of Sunday’s 86-84 win at Chicago. Blatt acknowledged he tried to call a timeout he didn’t have, which would have led to a technical foul if the officials had seen him. He also confirmed that he initially designed an inbounds play that had LeBron James passing the ball in with 1.5 seconds left, a notion that was scrapped in favor of James taking what was the game-winning shot that tied the series at two games apiece.

\u00a0KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) – A major, magnitude 7.3 earthquake has hit Nepal, which is still reeling from an April temblor. Officials say at least 36 people have been killed and more than 1,100 injured. The quake in a remote mountain region triggered landslides and toppled buildings. Officials say there may be people buried in the debris in Chautara, which has become a hub for humanitarian aid for the April quake.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PARIS (AP) – A new study finds more and more young people binge drink even as overall alcohol consumption in wealthy, developed countries declines. The study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says that while average alcohol consumption fell 2.5 percent over the past 20 years, the statistic masks a dangerous increase in hazardous drinking by young people. That now accounts for a higher proportion of deaths than HIV\/AIDS, violence and tuberculosis combined.

The strikes stopped shortly before the newly appointed U.N. envoy to Yemen flew into Sanaa on his official first visit to the country. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch says the rebel Houthis (HOO’-theez) have intensified the recruitment, training, and deployment of children.
