Bismarck (CSi) The  North Dakota State Health Department reports that the first confirmed case of Enterovirus D-68 has been identified in a child from Stutsman County. 

The girl was hospitalized with a respiratory illness that causes difficulty breathing, cough and wheezing.  After hospitalization, she’s recovering at home. 

Parents,  should get their child medical attention if he or she has difficulty breathing.

The virus is most likely spread through coughs, sneezes or contact with surfaces contaminated with saliva or mucus.

State Health Department,epidemiologist, Jill Baber  says, Enteroviruses are not reportable to the agency, meaning, the number of cases being reported are not necessarily representative of the total cases of EV-D68 in North Dakota.

Protection against EV-D68 and other respiratory viruses is by frequently washing hands with soap and water, avoiding close contact with individuals with an illness, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.

For more information, contact Jill Baber, at the State Health Department  at 701-328-2378.

Update…

 Jamestown (CSi) Over $8,900  was raised toward Huntington’s Disease research, as between 4,000 and 8,000 people viewed classic vehicles at the “Dan Wilhelm Memorial Car and Bike Show”, held at Wilhelm Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC in Jamestown on Saturday.  Participants and those viewing the vehicles encountered a couple of short duration rain downpours, which failed to dampen their spirits.

The event organizer, and Wilhelm’s dealership, Business Manger, Steve “Skovy” Jaskoviak, says about $700 more is expected to come in to add to the total. 147 vehicles, and 15 motorcycles registered.

 To commemorate the late Dan Wilhelm, the 4th Annual car show, also sponsored by James Valley Street Machines, and Stutsman Harley-Davidson drew entries from North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Minnesota.

James Valley Street Machines started the car and bike show, three years ago, and in the past the car club and Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC divided the cost of the event.

This year, however, Wilhelm Chevrolet Buick GMC paid a majority of the car and bike show’s costs, with the proceeds going to the Huntington’s Diseas Society of America

Dan Wilhelm passed away in 2012 at age 55 from the disease. A cure is yet to be found, as Huntington’s disease, an inherited brain disorder that results in the progressive loss of mental faculties and physical control.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is offering a grief support group for anyone who is grieving the loss of someone important to them, whether the loss is recent or from years past.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 JAGST, President, Char Freeberg said, the group will meet once a week at 7:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 424 1st Avenue S, Jamestown, beginning on Tuesday, October 7, 2014 and will run for 6 weeks.

In his book, Understanding Your Grief, internationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, Dr. Alan Wolfelt states, “You can benefit from a connectedness that comes from people who have also had a death in their lives. Support groups, where people come together and share the common bond of experience, can be invaluable in helping you and your grief and supporting your need to mourn long after the event of the death”

Also on our show, JAGST member Diane Witzig added, in our fast paced society, people who have had a significant loss are often expected to be ‘over it’ in a matter of a few weeks. They may even expect this of themselves. In reality, it may take years for someone to work through his or her grief. The support group experience helps individuals to understand and express grief in their own unique way and on their own unique timetable.

The group is free of charge, however, participants are asked to register to ensure that enough materials are available. For more information, or to register, please call Diane at 320-4915 or Eileen at 251-1280 (evenings).

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) has been selected by the North Dakota Center for Nursing for a new pilot program for North Dakota Hospitals. As a part to enhance the work environment for nurses across the state, the ND Center for Nursing has designed a new program to help hospitals assess and plan for work environment improvements as part of Pathways to Excellence.

Pathways to Excellence is an American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) program which recognizes health care and long term care organizations for positive practice environments where nurses excel. The Pathways to Excellence program started as the Texas Nurse Friendly Hospital program for rural and small hospitals in Texas.

The benefits of work environment changes include improving nurse satisfaction, retaining choice nursing staff and leaders, cultivating inter-professional teamwork, championing quality nursing practice and supporting business growth.

JRMC is one of six initial program hospitals in the state. As a hospital in the program, JRMC will receive customized support as they start their journey in determining work environment strategies and implementing changes.

JRMC Chief Nursing Officer, Trisha Jungels says, “Being selected as a pilot for ND Hospital Pathway to Excellence will provide tools to help JRMC be at our best to retain high performing nurses and leaders, foster teamwork, advocate superior nursing practice and support growth in healthcare. We are excited to be a part of this program to help us be the best we can for our patients.”

Other hospitals participating in the pilot program are Sanford Mayville Medical Center, Fargo VA Health Care System, Pembina County Memorial Hospital, Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Altru Health System.

To learn more about the ND Hospital Pathway to Excellence pilot program contact Patricia Moulton, PhD at patricia.moulton@ndcenterfornursing.org.

Valley City (VCSU) The North Dakota Department of Career and Technical Education Department (NDCTE) and Valley City State University (VCSU) have reached an agreement to work together for the recruitment, retention and succession of qualified Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers and administrators in North Dakota.

The “Ensuring Future CTE Teachers and Administrators Partnership” will use the resources of VCSU’s Department of Technology to address the growing need for CTE administrators and teachers, who drive high school CTE programs in fields such as agriculture, auto technology, business, construction, culinary arts, family and consumer science, health careers, information technology, marketing and welding.

“Valley City State University has been a key player in Career and Technical Education in North Dakota throughout the years,” said Wayne Kutzer, NDCTE director and executive officer. “This partnership will bring their expertise to the table in helping to ensure the future of this critical segment of North Dakota education.”

VCSU will provide guidance for teachers—and individuals directly out of industry—who are seeking to become certified in CTE or renew their certification. VCSU will also consult with NDCTE and the North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board regarding teacher certification and licensure standards.

In addition, VCSU will work with teacher- and administrator-training programs at universities across the state to promote CTE and provide information regarding certification requirements and access to CTE training programs.

For current CTE teachers and administrators, VCSU and NDCTE will combine efforts to expand professional development opportunities in the field to cover emerging technologies and teaching practices. The partners will also work together to increase awareness of existing CTE mentoring programs in the state.

Director Kutzer will lead NCDTE’s efforts in the partnership, which will begin in October 2014. Valley City State University lead personnel in the project are Rick Ross, CTE coordinator and associate professor in the department of technology, and Peder Gjovik, Ph.D., assistant professor and chair of the department of technology.

Overseeing the program is an advisory board composed of Kutzer; Gjovik; Eric Ripley, CTE director, Grand Forks Public Schools; Pam Stroklund, CTE director, Minot Public Schools; Dan Leingang, dean of academic affairs, Bismarck State College; Ken Kompelien, academic dean, North Dakota State College of Science; Mari Borr, Ph.D., associate professor, family and consumer sciences teacher education, North Dakota State University; and Dawn Olson, Ph.D., dean of the College of Education, Business and Applied Sciences, Dickinson State University.

He’s the man accused of scaling a security fence and dashing across the White House lawn on Friday, getting through the front door before being stopped. They also found a machete and two hatchets. In a federal court proceeding Monday, the prosecutor described Gonzalez as a danger to the president. He was carrying knife when he was stopped.
