Jamestown, ND, (KCSi-T.V. News Sept. 5, 2013) – Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) is proud to announce the certification of its cardiac rehabilitation program by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). JRMC was recognized for its commitment to improving the quality of life by enhancing standards of care.

Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems (e.g., heart attacks, coronary artery bypass graft surgery) and pulmonary problems (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – COPD, respiratory symptoms) recover faster and improve their quality of life. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families.

The JRMC cardiac rehabilitation program participated in an application process that requires extensive documentation of the program’s practices. AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-reviewed accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other professional societies. Each program is reviewed by the AACVPR Program Certification Committee and Certification is awarded by the AACVPR Board of Directors.

AACVPR-certified programs are recognized as leaders in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation because they offer the most advanced practices available. AACVPR Program Certification is valid for three years.

Anyone wanting to participate, can meet at the Vets Club. For more information, call 320-3015.

 

　 WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) – Canadian authorities have charged a Fargo man with multiple crimes.
 
     The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say 29-year-old Joshua James Grandbois was arrested this week in a wooded area in Cartier, Manitoba.
 
He’s charged with illegal border crossing, theft of a motor vehicle, mischief, possession of stolen property, dangerous operation of a vehicle and other counts.
 
     According to a news release, the RCMP learned Saturday that a car with North Dakota plates had illegally entered Canada and that its driver crossed the border north of Rolla, N.D., without reporting to Canada Border Services.
 
     The agency says the driver was fleeing U.S. authorities at the time.
 
     Police eventually tracked him down.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A man arrested in connection with a deputy sheriff’s fatal heart attack has been cleared to stand trial.
 
     Robbie Roberson’s case was put on hold in May 2012 after a judge found him mentally incompetent.
 
     The Lincoln man was charged in September 2011 with terrorizing, resisting arrest, fleeing and drunken driving after a Burleigh County deputy stopped Roberson for speeding.
 
     Authorities say that when he didn’t comply, the deputy used his Taser twice to try to control Roberson, but his aggressive, violent behavior continued and the stress caused Deputy Bryan Sleeper to have a fatal heart attack. 
 
Ppsychologists say Roberson suffers from schizophrenia but has been found able to assist in his defense.
 
     He’s in the Burleigh County Jail and his trial’s scheduled for Jan. 7.

 

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Drought conditions have worsened in a portion of the Midwest including the eastern Dakotas, as the region experienced its hottest week of the year. The extreme heat and near record low August rainfall combined to expand drought conditions from the Dakotas southeastward into western Illinois.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee is touring the western North Dakota oil patch.
 
     Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is being hosted by North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven on today and Saturday. Hoeven says Wyden will meet with community leaders and energy workers to get a firsthand look at the development and the region’s infrastructure needs.
 
     North Dakota in recent years has become the second-largest oil and gas producing state in the nation. Wyden calls the boom in the Bakken oil fields “historic” and says it’s “rewriting the playbook for American energy.” He says he wants to see it for himself.

 

      WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Sixth grade students in a West Fargo science, technology, engineering and math program are hoping they have the same app appeal as last year’s class.
 
     A team of nine students from the STEM center last year became one of 10 groups in country out of 471 entrants to win a national contest by designing an app to promote recycling.
 
     The school received $10,000 and Samsung Galaxy tablets for the students.
 
     Some of the money was used to send the group and two teachers to Florida to show off the app, which was developed this summer and is now available in the Google Play store.
 

     The second Verizon Innovative App Challenge was launched earlier this week. West Fargo STEM school teacher Gretchen Peterson says students are already formulating new ideas.

 

In sports…

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State football team relies heavily on students to create energy in the Fargodome, but many won’t be able to take part because of a shortage of tickets.
 
 From section 16 to section 11, there are 4,000 seats saved for students.
 
     That leaves as many as 10,000 students looking for Bison tickets because they all sold out for this season in just a few hours.
 
     Some tickets might be available on game day.
 
     Otherwise, Saturday’s game against Ferris State will be seen on CSi 11, at 4-p.m.

Djokovic’s path to Monday’s U.S. Open final got a little easier when third-seed and defending U.S. Open champion Andy Murray fell to ninth-seed Stanislaw Wawrinka (vah-VRIN’-kah) 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in yesterday’s men’s quarterfinals.

In world and national news…

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng) discussed divisive topics such as Syria, North Korea and cybersecurity in a one-on-one meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit today. As the meeting started, Obama said the two countries will continue to have disagreements, but the tensions can be managed. China and the U.S. did announce they’re moving ahead with efforts to phase out hydrofluorocarbons, the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.
 
     ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) – Britain’s prime minister and the U.N. chief have been trying to get the world’s richest countries to pitch in more to help the victims of Syria’s civil war. Prime Minister David Cameron hosted a meeting of donor countries at the G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, and announced Britain would provide an additional $81 million, largely for medical training and equipment to help those targeted by chemical attacks.

 
     MOSCOW (AP) – Another Russian ship is heading for Syria. The Russian state news agency Interfax reports that a landing ship left a port on the Black Sea this morning for the Eastern Mediterranean with what it called “special cargo.” Yesterday, the Kremlin said it was boosting its naval presence in the Mediterranean, “primarily” to organize a possible evacuation of Russians from Syria.
 
     ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) – Leaders of the world’s top 20 economies say it’s time Google, Apple and other multinational companies pay more taxes. The head of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says G-20 leaders signed on to a new tax plan at their summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. The new rules would make it harder to hide money in tax havens and force companies to pay taxes in the countries where they make profits.
 
     ATHENS, Greece (AP) – As investors wait for the monthly jobs report from the U.S. government this morning, there are relatively upbeat developments from a couple of Europe’s financially strapped nations. Greece says strong tourism revenues helped slow its economic contraction in the second quarter, down from a flash estimate of 4.8 percent to 3.8 percent. And in Ireland, the government says it’s asking the European Union to grant it a new line of credit to ease its planned exit this year from an international bailout. (a0524, a0538)
