FARGO, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) wants North Dakotans to make a point of having recess every day, and it has big plans to help people do that by promoting, advocating and supporting a statewide platform called, “The Official Sponsor of Recess.”
Paul von Ebers, president and CEO of BCBSND, said as The Official Sponsor of Recess, BCBSND will sponsor places and opportunities for activity – and active play – across North Dakota including the classroom, workplace and where North Dakotans gather.
Ebers says, “It’s important for all of us to find time in our day for a break – whether it’s a 15-minute walk around your workplace, or a physical activity break for kids in the classroom.”
The mental and physical benefits of recess are well-documented.
In North Dakota, nearly 28% of residents are classified as obese by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according a 2011 survey.
He adds, “Many chronic conditions stem from being overweight. And it’s those same chronic conditions that create the majority of the cost and burden to our health care system. Getting folks to make activity a daily habit will do a lot to lower health care costs.”
Recess YES! debuts
As The Official Sponsor of Recess, BCBSND’s first major program is Recess YES! The program provides North Dakota kindergarten through fifth grade teachers tools and ideas to incorporate recess – a brain break or physical break – during the school day in the classroom. The purpose of Recess YES! is to promote daily activity in the classroom and help engage students in daily, healthy activity.

The response so far from teachers who have received the kits has been overwhelmingly positive.
BCBSND has also received inquiries from other teachers and early childhood education advocacy groups interested in receiving the Recess YES! resources.
In the coming weeks and months, BCBSND will be rolling out additional programs under The Official Sponsor of Recess to encourage North Dakotans of all ages to be active and live healthier lives.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple has directed all state government agencies to fly the U.S. and state flags at half-staff in honor of the victims of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The attack by extremists on Tuesday killed four State Department employees, including the American ambassador to Libya, and wounded three others.
Dalrymple’s directive is in accordance with one from President Barack Obama.
It is in effect until sunset Sunday Sept. 16, 2012.
Dalrymple also is encouraging state residents to fly their flags at half-staff
until then.
Flags in North Dakota are to be at half-staff on Friday for a second reason – former astronaut Neil Armstrong is being buried that day.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – Construction is starting on a large
housing project in the western North Dakota oil patch community of
Watford City.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple, local officials and representatives of
Lutheran Social Services Housing on Thursday broke ground for the
12-building apartment complex.
The $17 million project is to have housing for everyone from the elderly to teachers and law officers.
It also is to eventually include a child care center.
Housing has become scarce in the booming oil patch. Dalrymple
says the Prairie Heights development “will enrich the quality of
life in Watford City.”
The project will be done in two phases, and completed by next
August.
MBI Energy Services has provided land and pledged $2 million for
the project in exchange for state tax credits.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Drought conditions have changed little
in South Dakota over the week but have worsened in North Dakota.
South Dakota still remains harder-hit, with the U.S. Drought
Monitor map showing 68 percent of the state in severe, extreme and
exceptional drought.
That’s down 1 percent from last week.
The amount in the exceptional category remains at 5 percent, almost all
of it in the southeastern corner.
North Dakota has no areas in extreme or exceptional drought, but
about 28 percent of the state is now in severe drought, up from 20
percent last week.
The worst-hit areas are in the west and the east.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Two competing medical centers held grand
opening ceremonies for new facilities in Williston on the same day
this week, and across the street from one another.
But Mercy Medical Center and Trinity Health consider themselves
partners in serving the region, not rivals.
The Forum newspaper reports that Minot-based Trinity has opened
its $10.5 million Trinity Health-Western Dakota clinic.
Williston-based Mercy will begin serving patients in late October
in its $20 million Birthplace at Mercy & Outpatient Surgery Center.
Williston is in the heart of western North Dakota’s booming oil
patch. Theresia Swartout with Trinity says it will take both
facilities to serve the swelling population.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – An actor, a best-selling author and a former
U.S. Secret Service agent are this year’s inductees to the
Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame.

leading men.
Lauraine Snelling has published dozens of books. Clint
Hill served Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and

Minot.

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) – A Libyan official says authorities have
arrested some militants suspected of taking part in the attack on a
U.S. consulate that left the American ambassador and three other
Americans dead.
He says others are still being monitored by police.
The official says the attack was an organized operation carried out
by heavily armed militants — an operation that included a
carefully-timed raid on what was supposed to be a secret safe
house, just as security forces arrived to rescue consulate staff.
WASHINGTON (AP) – There’s more information on just who was
behind the anti-Muslim film that has ignited mob violence across
the Mideast.
A U.S. law enforcement official says authorities have
identified a southern California man as the key figure involved in
making the film.
He’s identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula — a
Coptic Christian who was once convicted of financial crimes. A man
who had claimed to be the writer and director of the film initially
said he had a Jewish and Israeli background.
But there’s increasing evidence that the man — who used another name — is, in fact, Nakoula.
NEW YORK (AP) – It looks like it’s just what Wall Street wanted
to hear. The Federal Reserve’s announcement of additional help for
the U.S. economy sent stocks surging Thursday afternoon, with the
Dow gaining more than 200 points by mid afternoon.
The Fed will spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds, until it’s no
longer necessary.
NEW YORK (AP) – The soft-drink industry says the fight isn’t
over.
An industry-sponsored group says it will continue to fight to
overturn the ban that was enacted by New York City’s Board of
Health Thursday.
It prohibits the sales of big sodas and other sugary
drinks at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Police in Los Angeles are still urging people
to turn in any money they picked up in the streets during a wild
chase that followed a bank robbery Wednesday.
Two of the suspects, with police hot on their trail, wove through the streets of South Los Angeles in a stolen SUV, tossing money out the window.
Police think they may have been hoping that crowds would gather for the
money, and block the police cars.
A lot of people did rush to grab the money, but police were eventually able to arrest the two suspects.
