(VCPS) –Valley City Public Schools Supt Josh Johnson is updating safe guidelines. Updates are:
ND Governor Burgum provided clear guidance to schools with regards to masks and social distance in a concerted effort to decrease the number of students identified as close contacts and thus placed in quarantine. This guidance clearly stated;
” When the positive case and close contact have both been wearing face covering consistently and correctly for the entire time, the close contact will not need to self-quarantine at home.”
The definition and guidance of being identified as a close contact (within six feet for more than 15 minutes) has not changed. Therefore, if anyone is within six feet of another individual within our school, they MUST be wearing a face mask. The only exceptions to these directives are when individuals (students and staff) are eating breakfast, lunch, snack breaks, and participating in physical activity (i.e. P.E and sports). In these situations, individuals within six feet from another individual who is identified as positive will be considered as a close contact and required to quarantine following NDDoH guidelines. We cannot be placing our students into quarantine because individuals (students and staff) choose to not follow these guidelines.
We understand that this new policy will require that students and staff members will be wearing masks more than they were before the new guidelines. Please know that mask breaks will be provided for students during the school day. Thank you for continuing to work together to allow our students to stay healthy and also have the opportunity to learn face-to-face with their peers and teachers in our schools.
If you have other questions regarding this update to our mask policy please let us know.

Bismarck (CSi) – President Donald Trump has approved Gov. Doug Burgum’s request for a presidential major disaster declaration for the impacts of a severe summer storm that caused flash flooding in several counties and resulted in more than $5 million in damage to roads and other infrastructure.
The declaration covers six counties: Benson, Grand Forks, McKenzie, Mountrail, Nelson and Wells. The June 29-July 1 storm destroyed infrastructure and damaged homes with high winds, hail and 4 to 8 inches of rain in some areas. Many of the counties were also pummeled by previous disasters that produced catastrophic flooding during the last two years.
The presidential declaration unlocks public assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help cities, counties and townships pay for the costs of repairing roads and other infrastructure. Preliminary assessments indicate damage to local infrastructure systems exceeded $2.25 million, and damage to the state’s Federal Aid System highways totaled nearly $2.9 million.
“We appreciate President Trump and FEMA granting our request and making assistance available to help our local jurisdictions recover from this storm, which washed out roads, damaged bridges and railroad tracks, flooded basements, swamped fields and pastures and knocked out power to thousands of North Dakotans,” Burgum said.
Friday’s declaration also makes all areas of the state eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to help communities pay for projects that increase resiliency and reduce costs in the long run.
Jamestown (JRMC) Sometimes, we are our own barrier to care.
Since 2015, Central Valley Health and Jamestown Regional Medical Center have collaborated to reduce barriers for women’s health. In that time, more than 100 women have received 3D mammograms and preventative services they otherwise wouldn’t have due to time, finances, transportation or lack of insurance coverage.
The program is called No Excuses and funding from R.M. Stoudt’s annual Running of the Pink event supports it. In the 13 years of ROP, R.M. Stoudt has raised more than $130,000 for women’s care in this community.
JRMC and No Excuses offers 3D mammograms, which are unique in some communities. The 3D image gives a clearer and more accurate picture of the breast – meaning doctors can detect cancer faster.
“By offering women the latest technology in mammography, JRMC hopes to increase the number of area women who will be routinely screened,” said Trisha Jungels, JRMC Chief Nursing Officer.
At any given time, more than 1,300 Stutsman County women are not up to date on their screenings.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. The stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a woman’s chance of survival. If detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98%.
One in eight women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Catching it early can mean the difference between keeping the breast or needing surgery to remove it.
Knowing that support and encouragement is often a barrier to care, JRMC and Central Valley are offering No Excuses days to the general public.
No Excuses isn’t just for women who can’t afford it. Busy moms, grandmothers and professionals are also worthy candidates.
“If you’ve never had a mammogram, or it’s been a long time, you are definitely the woman we are looking for,” said Robin Iszler, registered nurse and unit administrator at Central Valley Health.
This year, No Excuses is set for:
- Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Thursday, Nov. 5 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Monday, Nov. 9 from 8 a.m. to noon
For more information on No Excuses, visit https://jrmcnd.com/no-excuses/. Appointments can be made online or over the phone. To schedule a mammogram for any other day, call JRMC Mammography at (701) 952-4852.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Officials say a lawsuit that has held up construction of a Red River diversion project in the Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota area could be settled out of court. Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney says the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority plans to meet next week with the Richland-Wilkin Joint Powers Authority, a group of upstream residents who have argued that the project will lead to more flooding on their land. Mahoney tells KFGO radio that the diversion board voted in executive session to offer a settlement. Richland-Wilkin Joint Powers Authority board member Nathan Berseth said he believes the diversion authority will make some type of financial offer to address the concerns of his group and landowners in the southern valley.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — A Williston man has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison in the death of his infant son last year. Tank McMillin was also ordered Thursday to serve 5 years of probation. He’ll get credit for 1 1/2 years he’s already spent behind bars. McMillin earlier pleaded guilty to felony child abuse in April 2019 death of 1-month-old son. The baby was found not breathing under some pillows in a hotel room. The baby had bruising to his abdomen, back, sides, upper buttocks and feet, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in Northwest District Court. Prosecutors have charged the baby’s mother, Hannah McMillin with murder. She’s jailed pending her trial.

(UJ) A three-run first inning provided the necessary offense while Dru Fitz (SR/Gresham, OR) allowed just one run over five innings Sunday as the University of Jamestown baseball team defeated Valley City State (N.D.) University 7-1 at Jack Brown Stadium.
It was the final game of the fall for UJ, which improves its record to 2-4. The Vikings fall to 3-3.
Kendall Yackley (SO/Lynnwood, WA) (wild pitch) and Grant Okawa (SR/Mississauga, ON) (passed ball) scored for UJ without the benefit of a hit. Matt Meraz (SR/Aurora, CO) made it 3-0 with a single scoring Tayler Cullen (JR/Santa Rosa, Calif.).
Avery Bennefeld homered on the second pitch of the third inning to make it a 3-1 game, but Fitz was able to get out of the inning without any further damage.
Okawa’s solo home run leading off the bottom of the fifth put Jamestown back in front by three runs at 4-1.
UJ tacked on three insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth as Tanner Shepard (JR/Grand Rapids, MN), Brian Rice (JR/Vancouver, WA), and Nolan Turin (SO/Sandy, OR) all crossed the plate.
Fitz, who allowed five hits in his five innings of work, struck out three and walked one, and was boosted by a strong effort from the bullpen. Cameron Multer (FR/Greeley, CO) struck out five in three innings, while Aaron Pugh (SR/Boissevain, MB, Canada) retired the side in order in the top of the ninth. VCSU’s last hit came with two outs in the fifth, and Jimmie pitchers retired the next 14 hitters.
Shepard finished 3-for-4 while Okawa and Meraz also had a pair of hits. Braxton Hewitt (SO/Carrington, ND) and Michael Asahara (SO/Spanaway, Wash.) also drove in runs for the Jimmies.

In world and national news…
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) Sunday, Oct 4, 2020— President Donald Trump declared, “I get it,” in a message to the nation before briefly leaving the hospital to salute cheering supporters from his motorcade. The surprising move raised new questions about his understanding of the deadly coronavirus that has killed more than 209,000 Americans.
Trump said his hospitalization resulted in him “really going to school” about the virus that’s killed more than 209,000 Americans.
Hours earlier, the president’s medical team reported that his blood oxygen level dropped suddenly twice in recent days. The doctors also say his health is improving and that he could be discharged as early as Monday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With a shift to the conservatives pending, the Supreme Court is opening a new term. That strengthened majority could roll back abortion rights, expand gun rights and shrink the power of government. Eight justices are getting back to work Monday less than a month before the presidential election. After their colleague Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last month, the Senate could confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee for Ginsburg’s seat, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, before Election Day. They’re also working in the midst of a pandemic that has forced the court to meet by telephone.
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s mayor says he has asked the state for permission to close schools and reinstate restrictions on nonessential businesses in several neighborhoods because of a resurgence of the coronavirus. Shutdowns would happen starting Wednesday in nine zip codes in the city. Mayor Bill de Blasio says about 300 public and private schools would have to close. Indoor dining, which just resumed a few days ago, would be suspended. Gyms would also close. De Blasio said the city needed the state to sign off on the restrictions. Over the past two weeks, though, the number of new cases of the virus has been rising in pockets of the city.
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Americans Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice and British-born scientist Michael Houghton have won the 2020 Nobel Prize in medicine for their discovery of the hepatitis C virus. The World Health Organization estimates there are over 70 million cases of hepatitis worldwide and 400,000 deaths each year. The disease is chronic and a major cause of liver inflammation and cancer. The Nobel committee says “thanks to their discovery, highly sensitive blood tests for the virus are now available,” a development that has greatly reduced the chances of getting hepatitis C through blood transfusions. The medicine prize carries particular significance this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has highlighted the importance of medical research.
PARIS (AP) — Kenzo Takada, the iconic French-Japanese fashion designer famed for his jungle-infused designs and free-spirited aesthetic that channeled global travel, has died. He was 81. The family said Takada died from complications from COVID-19. Takada retired from his house in 1999 to pursue a career in art, but it remains a respected fixture in high Paris fashion. Since 1993, the brand Kenzo has been owned owned by luxury goods company LVMH. He studied fashion in Tokyo before relocating to Paris and taking over a boutique there in 1970.

LONDON (AP) — Shares in the company that owns the Regal, Cineworld and Picturehouse cinemas in the U.S. and Britain have fallen as much as 58% after it will temporarily close its venues after release of the latest James Bond film was postponed due to the pandemic. It said that left it with few blockbusters to attract customers. Cineworld Group Plc said Monday that 536 Regal cinemas in the U.S. and 127 Cineworld and Picturehouse venues in the U.K. will close on Thursday. Some 45,000 employees are affected. The company says that with major markets such as New York closed and no guidance on when they will reopen, “studios have been reluctant to release their pipeline of new films.”
HOUSTON (AP) — An appeals court has refused to allow the Trump administration to continue detaining immigrant children in hotel rooms before expelling them under rules adopted during the coronavirus pandemic. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Sunday upheld a lower court’s order that would have required the U.S. to stop using hotels. Border agencies since March have held more than 600 children in hotel rooms before expelling them from the country without a chance to request asylum or other immigration protections.
