Jamestown (JRMC) — Bacteria and other germs can be found everywhere – offices, schools, skilled nursing facilities and even hospitals. Despite efforts to disinfect, superbugs like MRSA and C.diff are resistant to chemicals and common cleaning practices. Superbugs are often antibiotic resistant as well.
Each year these drug-resistant bacteria infect more than 2 million people nationwide and kill at least 23,000, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
That is why Jamestown Regional Medical Center invested in ways to enhance patient care and safety.
The hospital purchased a Xenex LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robot. The Xenex LightStrike pulses environmentally friendly xenon ultraviolet (UV) light and destroys microscopic pathogens that may be lurking on hospital surfaces quickly.
JRMC invites children, adults and supporters to celebrate the arrival of R.O.S.I.E. (Robot Offering Safe Ideal Environment), its Xenex LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robot on Thursday, May 17.
R.O.S.I.E. enhances environmental cleanliness by destroying hard-to-kill germs, bacteria and superbugs in hard-to-clean places. JRMC will use R.O.S.I.E. in its operating rooms and patient care areas to reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections.
JRMC Environmental Services Manager, Dane Grebel says, “Everyone that comes into the hospital – patients, families, vendors or even staff – brings germs with them. Some of these germs are resistant to even the best cleaning solutions and methods available. That is why JRMC invested in this technology. We want the best and safest place for our patients to receive care.”
To raise awareness for R.O.S.I.E, JRMC asked the public to participate in a Name The Robot contest. More than 200 children from Jamestown and rural schools submitted coloring pages and suggestions for names.
JRMC Foundation Director, Lisa Jackson says, “Because of those students and because of the community’s help, JRMC raised enough money to purchase R.O.S.I.E.
We’re grateful for the generous nature of the people in this region. They are a critical piece of the healthcare puzzle.”
R.O.S.I.E. can disinfect a typical patient or procedure room in 10-15 minutes. Operated by the hospital’s cleaning staff, R.O.S.I.E. can disinfect in any department or unit at JRMC. R.O.S.I.E. is a tool for the cleaning staff and does not replace any person.
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are rare, said JRMC Quality Manager Jenna Bredahl. Out of 1,571 procedures in 2017, only eight SSIs were reported at JRMC. That’s less than 1 percent. Nationwide, the average rate of SSIs is 2 to 5 percent.
Each SSI can cost the hospital between $15,000 and $50,000. A LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robot costs about $100,000. By preventing just a couple of SSIs, R.O.S.I.E. pays for herself, Jackson said.
JRMC President & CEO, K.C. DeBoer says, “One hospital-acquired infection is too many. JRMC is a leader in medical technology, so it’s only fitting that we acquire this technological solution to care for our patients. They deserve the best.”
More than 400 healthcare facilities around the world use Xenex’s pulsed xenon UV robots. Numerous health care facilities credit Xenex for helping them reduce their infection rates significantly. Several hospitals have published their C.diff, MRSA and Surgical Site infection rate reduction studies in peer-reviewed journals.
To celebrate R.O.S.I.E.’s arrival, JRMC welcomes the community to an open house at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 17. JRMC and Xenex representatives will be on site to answer questions about the robot. Healthy snacks and refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to the public.

The Special Assessment Commission approved changing to the shorter avenue frontage reducing the special assessments by about $2,000.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has signed an emergency order loosening driving restrictions for truckers who haul anhydrous ammonia fertilizer, and all other fertilizers.
North Dakota farmers are facing a shortage of fertilizer. That’s due to significant late-season snowfall in other parts of the Upper Midwest, which has delayed and shortened the spring planting season across the region.
Commercial truck drivers are having to move more fertilizer in a shorter time frame, so state Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring asked Burgum to loosen hours-of-service restrictions. The emergency order will remain in effect through the end of the month.
Distributors tell The Bismarck Tribune that at the Dakota Gasification Company urea plant near Beulah, the wait for fertilizer has spanned as much as five hours. The plant has opened a second loading bay.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal transportation officials have announced 10 sites for a test program aimed at increasing government and commercial use of unmanned aircraft.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced the winners Wednesday for the three-year drone program where states, local communities and tribes can devise their own trials.
The sites are located in Oklahoma, California, Nevada, North Dakota, North Carolina, Kansas, Alaska, Virginia, Tennessee and Florida. Transportation officials say 149 applications were received.
President Donald Trump signed a directive last year to establish the “innovation zones” that allow exemptions to some drone regulations, such as flying over people, nighttime flights and flights where the aircraft can’t be seen by the operator.
The unmanned aircraft industry has pushed for relaxed restrictions. Officials say current regulations have limited drone use, forcing companies to test overseas.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Planting of all major crops is now underway in North Dakota.
However, the federal Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that planting progress is behind the average pace for all crops except sugar beets.
Two-thirds of the sugar beet crop is in the ground, when only about half of the crop is normally in at this time.
About one-fifth of the state’s staple spring wheat crop is seeded, compared with the five-year average of about one-third.
About half of the state’s topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies remain rated adequate to surplus.
Eighty-three percent of the state’s winter wheat crop is rated fair, good or excellent.
Paste and range conditions are rated mostly fair to good, and stock water supplies are mostly adequate.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck restaurant serving fresh burgers for nearly 50 years won’t change despite new ownership.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Bill Wood sold The Woodhouse this month to a former employee. The 87-year-old has owned the restaurant since 1969.
Williston attorney and new Woodhouse owner Dan Vondrachek II says “things will stay the same.” He worked at the restaurant in the 1990s while a student.
Wood says customers frequent the restaurant because it serves fresh meat cut and ground daily. The Woodhouse is also known for its cheese frenchees, ice cream malts and homemade pie.
Vondrachek says the restaurant stays simple with quality ingredients and good recipes.
Wood says he plans to assist with the transition. Vondrachek is wrapping up his law practice and moving his family to Bismarck.
RIVERDALE, N.D. (AP) — Lake Sakakawea is officially ice-free.
The Minot Daily News reports that the call by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came Wednesday. It’s the fourth-latest declaration in the history of the reservoir created by Garrison Dam. That’s due to an unusually cold spring.
The lake is a popular fishery, and anglers pay attention to the ice-free declaration because it means the danger of shifting ice has passed for boats and docks.

Price was sent back to Boston on Tuesday for tests after experiencing numbness in his pitching hand during a bullpen session Sunday. He was forced from a game April 11 with the same symptoms after allowing four runs in the first inning — the shortest start of his career.
Cora described it as a “mild case of carpal tunnel” and said Price will rejoin the team Thursday. He’ll throw at Yankee Stadium, and then the team will re-evaluate his status.
