Jamestown (CVHD) – Central Valley Health District (CVHD) reports that they have provided 936 COVID vaccinations since the vaccine first arrived on December 22, 2020.

Unit Administrator, Robin Iszler, reports the CVHD team have been working very hard to provide the vaccinations out to the community as soon as it arrives saying, “We schedule clinics and begin calling people as soon as we have vaccine in the door of our facility.”

reports Iszler.
CVHD began administering the second doses of the Moderna vaccine to priority group Phase 1A
this past week, which includes frontline healthcare workers, first responders, and long-term care
residents and staff. “Those who received vaccine the week of December 22 were due for the
second dose this week,” says Iszler. Moderna vaccine requires a second dose, due 28 days after
the first dose. Next week CVHD anticipates the arrival of the Pfizer vaccine for second doses for
those vaccinated in Phase 1A. Pfizer vaccine second does are due 21 days following the first
dose.

Iszler says they are expecting to be very busy vaccinating next week. “We have a lot to
coordinate in the next week as we have both types of vaccine coming for first and second doses,”
She says CVHD will be receiving 300 doses of Moderna vaccine the week of January 25 for
first doses for those in priority group Phase 1B, specifically those 75 and older. “In addition to
the second dose clinics, we will also be working to coordinate a first dose vaccination clinic for
those in Phase 1B. We are very excited to offer vaccinations to those are have been waiting,” expresses Iszler.
Central Valley Health has established an interest survey that collects names of those interested in
COVID vaccine and also determines which priority group they are eligible for.

The survey is available on the CVHD website at www.centralvalleyhealth.org. To date, CVHD has collected
over 900 responses of those interested in the COVID vaccine from Stutsman and Logan
Counties. Of those 900 interested, over 350 are over the age of 75.
Once the vaccine arrives, CVHD will begin calling those on the list in order of signing up on the
interest survey while following the priority group guidance. Participants will then be invited to
make an appointment at a vaccination clinic. Appointments at the vaccination clinics will be
required to enter the facility. Locations of the vaccinations may change depending on
availability of the facility and those wishing to be vaccinated will be notified of the location

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown author Nancy Kuykendall has published her fifth book, “God Is Not Silent.”

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Nancy said the idea for writing the book stems from the fact that, “Throughout my life God has made himself known to me. He has rejoiced with me and over me when I’ve been at my best, and comforted, cared for, and instructed me when at my worst. He will

engage with us in our need and in our joy. If we seek Him we will find him.”

Nancy said, “GOD IS NOT SILENT contains thirteen chapters of my personal stories of when God has engaged with me from age twelve forward. They may be similar to some of your own stories, or maybe you need to hear that God cares and does interact with us. He longs for us to know Him. God is not silent!”

Nancy said, I am happy to announce GOD IS NOT SILENT-One woman’s encounters with God, is live and available for purchase. It’s available in both kindle ebook and paperback format on Amazon. It will soon be found on Goodreads,

christianbookclub.net, and her web site.

She added that the 124 page book will be available later at Dakota Store in Downtown Jamestown.

Also on our show Nancy pointed out that she’s currently wriing her sixth book, her first entry in to a fictional novel, likely to be the first of a three part series.

The technology cost is $6,000. The platform offers medically-accurate content that can also be customized to create a unique patient experience. Text, videos and animations are available on pregnancy, labor and birth, postpartum care, breastfeeding and newborn care.

The JRMC Auxiliary started the beloved Tree of Love tradition 23 years ago, JRMC Foundation Director Lisa Jackson, adds, ” Today, attendees hang ornaments in honor or in memory of beloved family members, friends or caregivers. Tree of Love is truly one of my favorite moments each year. During this challenging time, we are grateful to the community for joining us. These ornaments remind us why we are so dedicated to our work. These gifts continue the tradition of legendary care.”

In addition to an app for babies and families, a portion of Tree of Love proceeds also supported the JRMC Cancer Center. In its first year, the cancer center saved more than 244,000 miles of travel.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Far-right members of the North Dakota Legislature are taking another shot at easing restrictions on citizens’ right to use deadly force in self-defense. The bill would allow someone to use deadly force without retreating in certain circumstances. The proposal to remove the so-called “duty to retreat” provision is the latest attempt by far-right lawmakers to modify the state’s “castle law.” According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, at least 25 states have laws saying there is no duty to retreat before using deadly force against an attacker.

In sports…

Jamestown (JPS) The Jamestown High School boys hockey team will not be playing Williston this Saturday.

On Thursday, Williston school officials notified Jamestown High School Athletic Director Jim Roaldson of the scheduling change.

The game has been rescheduled for Feb. 1 at 5:15 p.m. at Wilson Arena.

Atlanta Word as been received that baseball legend, and Hall of Famer Henry (Hank) Aaron has passed way, at 86 years old.

Aaron played in the majors for 23 years from 1954 to 1976. He played for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves and finished his career with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Aside from being a 25-time All-Star, an MVP and a three-time Gold Glove, Aaron ended his career as Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader with 755. He had taken the crown from New York Yankees great Babe Ruth and later lost it to San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds.

Aaron still holds the all-time record for RBI with 2,297.

Aaron started his career in 1951 in the Negro Leagues with the Indianapolis Clowns. He played for three months before receiving offers from the Giants and the Braves of the major leagues.

According to the book “Batting Around,” Aaron said the Braves offered him $50 more than the Giants which was the “only thing that kept Willie Mays and me from being teammates.” He made his debut with the Braves at 23 in 1954 and won an MVP award by his fourth season.

He hit more than 40 home runs eight times in his career. He would break Ruth’s record on April 8, 1974, with legendary broadcaster Vin Scully calling the game. Scully invoked the racial tension of the time in his call.

Scully said, “What a marvelous moment for baseball; what a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us, and particularly for Henry Aaron. And for the first time in a long time, that poker face in Aaron shows the tremendous strain and relief of what it must have been like to live with for the past several months.

Aaron was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982, picking up more than 97% of the vote.

After his career was over, Aaron wrote a book called “If I Had a Hammer,” owned an automotive group and owned several chain restaurants.

The details behind Aaron’s death were unclear. He had just received his COVID vaccine earlier this month and called on Black Americans to get their shots when it becomes available.

“I don’t have any qualms about it at all, you know. I feel quite proud of myself for doing something like this. … It’s just a small thing that can help zillions of people in this country,” he told The Associated Press

Aaron was the second Hall of Famer to die this week. Don Sutton, the legendary pitcher, died Tuesday at 75.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has directed his intelligence community to study the threat of domestic extremism in the United States. The undertaking is being launched weeks after a violent mob loyal to Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The disclosure Friday by White House press secretary Jen Psaki is a stark acknowledgment of the national security threat that officials see as posed by American extremists motivated to violence by extremist ideology. FBI Director Chris Wray has said that, over the last year, the most lethal violence has come from anti-government activists, such as anarchists and militia-types.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will send the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made the announcement on Friday. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wants to postpone the impeachment trial until February to give the former president time to prepare his case. The House impeached Trump on a single charge of incitement of insurrection for the deadly attack on the Capitol that unfolded on Jan. 6. Pelosi said the trial has to happen even though Trump has left office so that there is accountability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Images of National Guard soldiers camped in a cold parking garage after being sent to protect Washington sparked new calls Friday for investigations of the U.S. Capitol Police, now facing allegations that the agency evicted troops sent to help after its failure to stop rioting mobs two weeks ago. Members of both parties were irate about reports that Guardsmen were forced to take rest breaks outside the Capitol building. About 25,000 Guard members from across the country deployed to help secure President Joe Biden’s inauguration, which went off with only a handful of minor arrests.

LOS ANGLES (AP) — The California Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation to determine whether the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has engaged in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional policing. Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Friday that the investigation of the nation’s largest sheriff’s department was prompted by allegations of excessive force, retaliation and other misconduct. The attorney general stressed that it is not a criminal investigation. Becerra is President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A petition has been filed seeking the impeachment of Kentucky’s attorney general. The petition seeks Daniel Cameron’s ouster for his handling of an investigation into Breonna Taylor’s shooting death by police. The petition’s allegations against the Republican attorney general include breach of public trust and failure to comply with his duties as the state’s chief law enforcement official. It was submitted to the overwhelmingly Republican Kentucky House. The petition’s signers include an attorney for three grand jurors who have accused Cameron of misleading the public when describing the grand jury proceedings.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas is asking a court to stop President Joe Biden from allowing a 100-day moratorium on deportations. The lawsuit filed Friday is one of the first against the new administration. The moratorium came after Biden revoked Trump’s mandate that made anyone in the U.S. illegally a priority for deportation. Republican Ken Paxton, Texas’ attorney general, claims the federal government broke an agreement to first consult with Texas before making changes to immigration enforcement.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — President Joe Biden has ordered a “pause” on all border wall construction, one of 17 executive orders issued his first day in office. The move leaves billions of dollars in unfinished work under contract after his predecessor, Donald Trump, worked feverishly to successfully to build 450 miles. A Senate aide tells The Associated Press that the government has spent $6.1 billion of $10.8 billion under contract. The full amount under contract would have extended Trump’s wall to 664 miles. The Biden administration will negotiate cancellation fees and and look into whether what’s left can be spent elsewhere.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s public health agency recently surprised local officials by lifting a stay-at-home order in the 13-county Greater Sacramento region. It’s a mystery how the state decided to lift regional restrictions because officials won’t share their data despite repeated pledges of transparency. State officials projected intensive care unit capacity and virus spread four weeks into the future to make the determination. State health department spokeswoman Ali Bay said “at the moment the projections are not being shared publicly,” because officials say they could cause more confusion. San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert said officials there aren’t aware of the secret models but would welcome being able to see the data.
